If you wish to stay longer, you need to ask for an extension. If your visa in the United States is no longer valid, you can request a renewal. If you keep fulfilling the requirements, you will obtain the same category of US visa. Having a legitimate explanation is necessary if you want to prolong your stay, like going on a holiday, seeing relatives or friends, or participating in a business or conference.<\/p>\n Applying for US Visa Renewal<\/strong><\/p>\n The process of renewing a US visa is almost identical to the application process. You must do the following:<\/p>\n Obtain and complete Form I-539, which is the Application to Extend\/Change Non-immigrant Status. This form is used for various types of non-immigrant visas, including tourist visas (B-2) and business visas (B-1).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Gather the necessary supporting documents, such as a valid passport, current visa, proof of financial support, and any additional documents required based on your specific visa category.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Submit the completed Form I-539 and supporting documents to the USCIS. The filing can typically be done by mail.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Pay the US Visa Renewal Fee.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n In some cases, USCIS may require you to appear for a biometrics appointment to provide your fingerprints, photograph, and signature.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Schedule an interview appointment at the US Embassy\/Consulate.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Enter the visa renewal interview.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n After you submit your visa renewal application, it is necessary for you to go to the US embassy and have a meeting with a visa officer. They will ask questions about your trip, the reason for your visa request, and additional personal information like your income and connections. They will inquire about anything that will help them form an opinion. The processing time for a US visa depends on the type of visa being applied for. It could take from a few days to several months.<\/p>\n US VISA FOR SWISS CITIZENS<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Swiss nationals have the option to submit an application for an ESTA, also known as Electronic System for Travel Authorization, under the Visa Waiver Program. ESTA was founded in 2009 to handle information of travelers who arrived in the United States via the Visa Waiver Program (VWP). The data is utilized to determine if a visitor presents a security or immigration threat to the United States. Swiss nationals holding a valid ESTA are allowed to travel to the United States for a maximum of 90 days for tourism, business, transit, medical reasons, or short-term study. If your stay in the United States exceeds 90 days, you are required to request either a B1 business or a B2 tourist visa. With an ESTA, Swiss citizens can visit the United States multiple times. An approved ESTA is valid for two years or until your passport expires. If your ESTA expires, you will need to apply for a new permit. Swiss citizens wishing to apply for ESTA must meet the required ESTA requirements. Since the US ESTA is linked directly to the passport, Swiss travelers do not need any additional documents to apply. The US ESTA application form is 100% online.<\/p>\n WHAT ARE THE OTHER ESSENTIAL DOCUMENTS REQUIRED?<\/strong><\/p>\n A valid travel document or passport in order to apply for ESTA US Visa.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Clear digital photos taken as recently as possible.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n A valid email address, to receive the ESTA US Visa in their inbox.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n A valid credit or debit card or PayPal account to pay for the ESTA US Visa.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n A complete scan of the information page on the passport will need to be uploaded.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Certificate of Health.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
