The United States is a nation of immigrants and largely remains such after all these years. Hundreds of thousands come to the U.S. annually to reside; and many million cross the U.S. border to simply visit. We invite you to look at the procedures a Hungarian must follow to obtain a U.S. nonimmigrant or immigrant visa. The Embassy warns against using fraudulent documents in applying for a visa.
