Visa

A visa is an official document issued by a consulate overseas allowing a foreign national to apply for admission into the United States.  Having a visa stamp in the passport is not an automatic guarantee that you will be admitted into the U.S. in that status. A visa is like an invitation that allows you to apply for admission into the U.S. in a particular immigration status.
