The United States Transit (C-1) Visa is for visa-required travelers passing through the U.S. on their way to another country.

It allows you to stop in the U.S. for a short time, usually just long enough to catch your connecting flight. You can’t leave the airport for tourism, but it’s essential if your nationality requires a visa to transit through the U.S.

United States visa policy

The United States visa policy includes a wide range of options depending on your nationality, the purpose of your visit, and how long you plan to stay. Citizens of countries in the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) can travel to the US for up to 90 days without a visa, but must first apply for an ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) online.

Nationals from other countries must apply for a non-immigrant visa for short stays, such as the B1/B2 visa for tourism, business meetings, or medical treatment. These visas are typically valid for multiple entries and long validity periods, often up to 10 years, depending on the applicant’s nationality.

The US also offers a variety of work and study visas, including the H-1B visa for skilled professionals, the L-1 visa for intra company transfers, and the F-1 visa for international students. Immigrant visas, including those through family sponsorship, employment-based categories, and the Diversity Visa (Green Card Lottery), provide a path to permanent residence.

For the latest visa rules and requirements, always consult the US Department of State or the Customs and Border Protection websites before applying.

FAQs

Processing times vary by visa type and embassy location. It can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks, especially during busy travel seasons.

We’ll process your ESTA as fast as possible – you’ll see the exact time during checkout.

The B1 visa is for business travelers (e.g. attending meetings or conferences), while the B2 visa is for tourism, vacations, or medical visits. Most travelers receive a combined B1/B2 visa.

An ESTA allows stays of up to 90 days. Most visitors with a B1/B2 visa are allowed to stay up to 6 months, but the exact length is decided by the immigration officer upon arrival.

You can apply for your B1/B2 visa or ESTA through the government or iVisa (or download our mobile app).

Supporting documents like your passport, photo, and purpose of travel are required.

No. A B1/B2 visa or ESTA does not permit any kind of employment. You must apply for a work visa, such as an H-1B or L-1, if you plan to take a job in the U.S.

No, stays on an ESTA authorization can not be extended. If you entered the USon a non-immigrant v isa, you can sometimes apply to extend your stay or switch to another visa type at least 45 days before your current one expires.

Overstaying can lead to visa cancellation, fines, or bans on future travel to the United States. It’s important to leave the country before your visa expires or apply for an extension if eligible.

If you’re just transiting through the United States on your way to another country, you may need a C-1 Transit Visa.

However, if you're from a Visa Waiver Program (VWP) country and will be in the U.S. for only a few hours, you still need to apply for an ESTA in advance, even for transit.

In short:

  • You need a C-1 visa or an approved ESTA, depending on your nationality

  • You can’t leave the airport unless you have proper entry permission

  • If you're changing airports or need to stay overnight, you’ll likely need a full visa or ESTA

Our team of iVisa experts will review your documents to make sure you have the best chance of being approved. We then send it to the government for processing on your behalf.

Once your visa is approved, we’ll then email you your document or next steps.

In the meantime, download the iVisa app, so you can access your travel documents while you're on the go.
