American Visas

A valid passport and U.S. visa are needed to enter the United States. Students and scholars generally come under the Non-Immigrant Visa Classification, "Exchange-Visitor" or "Student". The possibility for employment is governed by the type of visa under which you enter the United States. In no case can you expect to cover all of your expenses by working while you are a student in the United States. Information concerning visas is available at:

The American Consulate
Boulevard du Régent, 25, Regentlaan
1000 Brussels

The Consular Section
The American Embassy
Boulevard Em. Servais, 22
L-2535 Luxembourg,
G.D. Luxembourg
