Non-Immigrant Visas
Petition-Based NIVs
Certain categories of non-immigrant visas (NIVs) require a petition to be filed with the Department of Homeland Security in the United States prior to interview. These visa categories include:
-
Fiancé(e) visas
-
Certain categories of employees
-
Performance artists and musicians
-
"Follow-to-Join" asylum cases
The Consular Section in Guinea can interview applicants for these visas only after the petition is approved and sent to the consular section.
