Representatives of Media (I Visas)
The I non-immigrant visa classification was established in 1952 and is
reserved for bona fide representatives of foreign press, radio, film, or other
foreign information media, seeking to enter the United States solely to engage
in such a vocation. I visa holders are admitted under "D/S" (duration of
status), which means duration of the employment relationship of the underlying
media function. Extensions of stay can granted in one-year increments, without
limitation on the number of extensions. Spouse and dependent children may
accompany the principal foreign national. The maximum number of annual visas is
33,000.
