You must request an extension if you want to stay longer. If your visa to the United States has expired, you may apply for a renewal.

You must have a valid reason for extending your stay, such as taking a vacation, visiting family or friends, or attending a business or conference.<\/p>\n Applying for US Visa Renewal<\/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.

They will inquire about your travel, the purpose of your visa application, and other personal details such as your salary and relationships. They will ask you any question that will assist them in making a judgment. The time it takes to process a US visa varies depending on the type of visa you apply for. It could take from a few days to several months.<\/p>\n US VISA FOR SWISS CITIZENS<\/a><\/p>\n Swiss citizens can apply for an ESTA, or Electronic System for Travel Authorization, through the Visa Waiver Program. ESTA was established in 2009 to process data from tourists who entered the United States through the Visa Waiver Program (VWP). The information is used to assess whether a visitor poses a security or immigration risk to the United States. Swiss citizens with a valid ESTA may visit the United States for up to 90 days for tourism, business, transit, medical, or short-term study purposes. If you plan to stay in the United States for more than 90 days, you must apply for a B1 business or 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?<\/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
