Nonimmigrant Visa Types
Journalists (I)
Representative of foreign press, radio, film or other information media should apply for this type of visa. This includes personnel whose activities are essential to the foreign information media function; for example, media reporters, media film crews, video tape editors, and persons in similar occupations. The I visa classification may be accorded not only to primary employees of foreign information media engaged in filming a news event or documentary, but also to the employees of independent production companies when those employees hold a credential issued by a professional journalistic association.
