Prohibited Activities on a Visitor's Visa


Forbidden activities on a visitor's visa:

This is a list of forbidden activities while on a US visitor's visa. Please note that this list is not all inclusive.

Illegal Actions and overstaying your visit:

The rule of the United States of America with regard to all visa and overstaying abuses is one of "zero tolerance". Even if a visitor stays only one day past their visa expiry, imprisonment may result. If arrested for illegal activities this could include imprisonment, deportation and prohibited entry to the USA for up to 10 years.

Prospective Students The U.S. immigration law formerly allowed prospective students to enter first on a tourist visa, search for schools and convert to a student visa. This is not allowed any more. A student must first apply from their country of residence for an F-1 visa if he/she plans to study in the USA. Journalist Representatives of foreign press, radio, film, journalists or other media, cannot engage in that job while on a visitor's visa. They require a nonimmigrant media visa. Work Visitors are not authorized to work in the U.S. Therefore, it is unlawful to work at your family member's or anyone else's business, store, hotel, restaurant or at any other place, even if you are not getting any monetary compensation. Dual Intentions If you would like to get a visitor visa so that you can enter the U.S. and then study, work, start a business or get married, you will not get a visa if the consular officer finds out. Even if you get the visa by error, the consular officer at the port of entry may not allow you to enter the U.S., if he comes to recognize your dual intentions. Applicants may intend to stay in the U.S. permanently for various reasons such as: Adult children cannot get an immigrant visa along with parents because they aged out. Spouse is a green card holder. However, the F2A petition will take around five to six years to get accepted and the other partner would like to go to the U.S.A. to live with the green card holder. Students who would like to study in the U.S. but are incapable of showing sufficient financial resources to get a student visa. Those who don't have a respectable job or business in the home country.
