Common questions about U.S. visas for children:
Is it possible for my minor child to travel under my visa?

Is it possible for my minor child to travel under my visa?
No. Every person traveling to the United States must qualify for a visitor visa. You must file an application on behalf of your child if he/she does not have a U.S. visa. Download the “U.S. Visa Application Guide for Minors, Infants, and Children” and start the application today!
Does my one-month-old baby require a U.S. passport and visa? Or can he/she travel with my passport?
Yes, your child requires his/her own visa. Every traveler to the United States must have a valid passport as well as a U.S. visa. If your child does not have a passport, you should first obtain a passport for your child, and only when he/she already has a passport, then you can start the U.S. visa application process.
Can my teen travel to the United States with an organized tour without a parent present?
Yes, but in most cases, you will need to present a registered letter showing that the parents give permission for the trip. Requirements may vary according to your country, please download the “U.S. Visa Application Guide for Minors, Infants and Children” for more information and instructions.
Are children required to attend the visa interview in person?
The answer to this question depends on both the age of the child and the country from which you are applying for a visa. In general, minors aged 14 and over must attend, however, the rules vary depending on their country of residence. The U.S. Embassy will inform you if the minor is required to appear for an interview.
