How to read your visa

After you receive your passport with your new visa, check to make sure  that all the information printed on the visa is correct.  Use the diagram below as a guide.  If any of the information on your visa does not match the information in your passport or is incorrect, please contact the Nonimmigrant Visa section.

In addition, check that “Nationality” is correct: if you received your visa in your Israeli passport, it should say “ISR,” but if you received your visa in another passport it should show that nationality.
