Visa Revalidation is the process whereby
certain individuals may renew their visa without leaving the country.
Foreigners in the U.S. who wish to travel abroad for a brief period
are faced with a risk, that they will be unable to return to the
U.S. after they conclude their trip, since they lack a valid visa
allowing them to enter the U.S. Visa Revalidation is designed to
alleviate this problem where certain foreigners may obtain a new
visa through the Department of State without leaving the U.S.
The Visa Revalidation Process is available
to the following classes:
E (Treaty traders/Investors)
H (Specialty Occupation Aliens)
L (Intra-company Transferees)
O (Aliens of Extradinary Ability)
P (Artists or Entertainers)Are there any Additional Requirements?
In addition to having one of the above visas
(E, H, L, O, P), one must meet the following:
Be in valid status; and
Possess a Passport that is valid for at least six (6) months;
and
Have an original E, H, L, O or P Visa that is valid for 60 days
or less; or
Have an original visa that expired within the past twelve (12)
months.
