USA C-1 Transit Visa General Information

The C-1 Transit Visa is a non immigrant visa which allows foreign nationals to enter into the United States while transiting to another foreign country. The C-1 Transit Visa can be used to travel in and out of the United States when your final destination is another country. Individuals with a valid B-1 Business or B-2 Tourist Visa do not need to obtain a US Transit Visa. Any other valid non immigrant visa may not be used to transit through the United States. Individuals from Visa Waiver countries do not need to obtain a C-1 Transit Visa. The Transit Without Visa (TWOV) program and International-to-International (ITI) program were both suspended by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Department of State on August 2nd, 2003.
