 U.S. VISAS
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 Belarusian must follow to obtain a U.S. nonimmigrant or immigrant visa. The Embassy warns against using fraudulent documents in appying for a visa. Visit here if you are a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident seeking to petition for a visa for your fiance(e) or spouse. Citizens of the following countries do not need a visa to enter the
United States as nonimmigrants. U.S. immigration legislation is undergoing changes. In 1996, the Immigration and Naturalization Service released the new U.S. Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act. Requests for U.S. legislation are fulfilled by the Embassy's Information Resource Center. Take your chance with DV-2006 (PDF file, requires Acrobat Reader which can be downloaded from here). SERVICES FOR U.S. CITIZENS The Federal Voting Assistance Program, in conjunction with several states and counties, has launched an Internet voting project called SERVE (Secure Electronic Registration and Voting Experiment), designed to improve
the ability of Uniformed Services members, their families, and U.S. citizens overseas to vote in the 2004 election. Visit the SERVE web site for more information on participating counties and states, frequently asked questions, election information, and project updates.
