Visa Waiver Program

In some situations, foreign nationals coming to the United States for pleasure for less than 90 days may be able to enter the United States without a visa. Currently, 28 foreign countries are qualified under the United States Visa Waiver Pilot Program. However, a person entering the U.S. under this program is not allowed to work or study at an educational institution, and may not change his or her status to another visa category.
