I VISA
The I Visa is a vital tool in a global system,
where news and cultures are shared and dispatched across
national lines. The I Visa is available to media employees
including reporters, freelance journalists and film crew
members; mainstream filmmakers are not eligible for this
status. I visas are available to persons only to work for a
foreign media outlet, or a U.S.-based subsidiary of a foreign
media company.
Your spouse and unmarried children under the
age of 21 may be eligible for a derivative I status. Your
employer must offer a letter detailing your position.
If your spouse or children wish to visit you
in the U.S., they may choose to apply for a B-2 visa. They may
also be eligible to travel under the Visa Waiver Program.
Documents
The Embassy or consulate will ask to see the
following documents:
- A completed visa application form. (Some applicants will also be
required to submit an additional form).
- One recent photograph 1 & 1/2 inches square (37mm x
37mm) of each applicant, with the entire face visible. The
picture should be taken before a light background and
without head covering.
- A passport, valid for travel to the United States for at
least six months longer than your intended visit.
- A letter from your employer detailing your position and
expected stay in the
U.S.
