Immediate & Continuous Transit - C Visa

Raleigh C Visa Lawyers

Visa for Passing through the United States

When traveling through the United States from one country to another, a C-1 visa is required, unless you are a citizen from one of the visa waiver countries. If you are traveling with family, such as a spouse or your children, they also require a C visa to transit through the United States.

There are three types of C visas:

  • C-1 General Transit Visa – For non-US citizens passing through the United States.
  • C-2 Foreign National Visa – For foreign nationals who have been invited to the U.S. for media or UN business. If staying overnight, you will need an A Visa.
  • C-3 Foreign Government Transit – For foreign government officials traveling through the U.S., This visa will also grant passage for their family and personal employees.

This is for those who are landing in the United States and do not want to wait at the airport until their next flight. The C visa allows you to exit the airport and sightsee, visit friends or family, or shop while you wait for your next flight. If your travel plans include staying in the US in one place for even one day, you should apply for aB1 or B2 visa.
