Visas for Foreign Citizens
The U.S. State Department is responsible for issuing visas to foreign citizens to wish to come to the United States, whether they are coming to visit, to work, or to study. Another useful site for information is the websites of our U.S. Embassies and Consulates around the world. You may also wish to call the State Department’s Visa Services Office at 202-663-1225 or contact my Portland office.
