## Questions? Answers.

### Can a Kosovo citizen get a TN visa?

No. TN is only for citizens of Canada and Mexico; even their permanent residents cannot apply. [4]

### Can I get a TD visa as a Kosovo citizen?

Yes, as the spouse or unmarried child under 21 of a TN professional: TD is open to them whether or not they are Canadian or Mexican. On TD you may study but not work, and the TN holder must be able to support you financially. [11][4][12][13]

### How much is the TD visa fee?

None when the TN professional is Canadian: there is no processing fee for dependents of Canadian TNs. When the TN professional is Mexican, $185 per applicant, the fee for non-petition-based visas. The fees, entries and validity follow the schedule of the TN holder’s country. [13][2][11]

### How much does the TN/TD visa cost in Kosovo?

$185 to the U.S. Department of State when the TN professional is Mexican, none when they are Canadian, and €10 to DHL to bring your passport home. [2][13][3]

### How do I pay the visa fee in Kosovo?

Online or at VFS. Online with a debit or credit card, or in cash at the VFS Visa Application Center in Pristina, Lidhja e Prizrenit St., No. 20, Tophane. [14][15]

### Is the fee refunded if the visa is refused?

No. The visa application fee is non-refundable. [2]

### Can I apply in Skopje or Tirana instead?

Generally no. Apply at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in the country of your nationality or where you live, and be able to show you live there if that is why you apply there. Elsewhere it may be more difficult to qualify, and the fee is not refunded or transferred. [16]

### How do I check the status of my U.S. visa application?

On the State Department’s Visa Status Check, at ceac.state.gov. Choose your visa type, then enter your passport number and the first five letters of your surname. [17]

### Does my child need an interview?

Generally yes. Applicants under 14 are no longer exempt from the interview because of their age. [18]

### Can anyone guarantee a U.S. visa?

No. Any claim that someone can guarantee a visa is fraudulent. A consular officer decides at the interview whether you qualify. [19]

### My visa was refused. When can I apply again?

You may reapply. After a refusal under section 214(b), you submit a new application, pay the fee again, and must be able to show significant changes in your circumstances since your last application. [20]

### How long can I stay in the United States?

The border officer decides when you enter. The admitted-until date on your I-94 or admission stamp shows how long you may stay. Not the visa’s expiration date. [21]

## More questions, answered in the chat

### What do I need to join a TN professional already in America?

The valid Form I-94 of the TN holder, which shows that they keep their TN status. (Visas for Canadian and Mexican USMCA Professional Workers: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/employment/visas-canadian-mexican-usmca-professional-workers.html, 2026-10-11)

### How long can I stay on a TD visa?

No longer than the TN professional, who is admitted for up to 3 years at a time, with no overall limit. When the TN holder applies to extend their stay, the TD family can apply to extend theirs too. (TN USMCA Professionals: https://www.uscis.gov/working-in-the-united-states/temporary-workers/tn-usmca-professionals, 2026-10-28; 9 FAM 402.17, USMCA Professionals - TN and TD Visas: https://fam.state.gov/fam/09FAM/09FAM040217.html, 2026-10-28)

### I have dual citizenship. Which passport do I use to travel to the United States?

If one of them is a U.S. passport, that one. Every U.S. citizen, dual citizens too, must enter and leave the United States on a U.S. passport. A U.S. citizen is not eligible for a visa. (About Visas - The Basics: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/frequently-asked-questions/about-basics.html, 2026-10-11)

### Can I fill in the DS-160 in my own language?

No. Every question is answered in English, in English letters. The only exception is your full name in your native alphabet, where it asks for it. (Step 2: Complete the DS-160: https://www.ustraveldocs.com/xk/en/step-2, 2026-10-22)

### Can I save the DS-160 and finish it later?

Yes, for 30 days. You can return to a partially completed application for 30 days. The session expires if you stop for more than 20 minutes. (DS-160: Frequently Asked Questions: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/forms/ds-160-online-nonimmigrant-visa-application/ds-160-faqs.html, 2026-10-11; Step 2: Complete the DS-160: https://www.ustraveldocs.com/xk/en/step-2, 2026-10-22)

### I lost my DS-160 confirmation page. Can I print it again?

Yes. On ceac.state.gov, choose the embassy or consulate where you apply, select “Retrieve Application”, and enter your application ID. From there you can view and print the confirmation page. (DS-160: Frequently Asked Questions: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/forms/ds-160-online-nonimmigrant-visa-application/ds-160-faqs.html, 2026-10-11)

### Can I get an earlier appointment for urgent travel?

Yes, you can request one. For an unforeseen travel need, once you have paid the fee for a regular appointment. It depends on availability at the Embassy. (Apply for an expedited appointment, Kosovo: https://www.ustraveldocs.com/xk/en/expedited-appointment, 2026-10-22)

### Can a company get me an earlier appointment?

No. Everyone books through the Embassy’s appointment system, and no one is given priority. Claims of faster access are fraudulent. (U.S. Embassy in Kosovo: Nonimmigrant Visa FAQ: https://xk.usembassy.gov/frequently-asked-questions-nonimmigrant-visa/, 2026-10-11)

### Can a group apply together?

Yes, from 10 people. Non-family groups who must travel together for a specific event can request a group appointment. (Group appointments, Kosovo: https://www.ustraveldocs.com/xk/en/group-appointments, 2026-10-12)

### Do I bring the whole DS-160 to the interview?

No. Only the confirmation page, with your application ID on it, so the Embassy can retrieve your DS-160. (DS-160: Frequently Asked Questions: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/forms/ds-160-online-nonimmigrant-visa-application/ds-160-faqs.html, 2026-10-11)

### What are the photo requirements for a U.S. visa?

2 x 2 inches (51 x 51 mm), in color, in front of a plain white or off-white background, taken within the last 6 months, showing how you look now, and without eyeglasses. Glasses are allowed only in rare medical cases, with a statement signed by a medical professional. (Photo Requirements: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/photos.html, 2026-10-11; Photo Frequently Asked Questions: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/photos/frequently-asked-questions.html, 2026-10-11)

Most cases within 60 days of the interview. You are told at the interview if your application needs it. (U.S. Embassy in Kosovo: Nonimmigrant Visa FAQ: https://xk.usembassy.gov/frequently-asked-questions-nonimmigrant-visa/, 2026-10-11)

### My visa was refused under 221(g). What does it mean?

That the officer did not yet have everything needed to decide. You are told which documents are missing and how to send them; send them within 1 year of the refusal, or you must apply again and pay the fee again. Sometimes it means administrative processing instead, and the embassy contacts you when it is done. (Visa Denials: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/visa-denials.html, 2026-10-11)

### How do I get my passport back in Kosovo, and what does it cost?

By DHL, to your address, for €10. If your visa is approved, the passport is mailed to your local address. After the interview you go to the DHL office near the Embassy, give your contact details and pay €10 there, in cash or by card. (Passport/Visa collection locations and timings, Kosovo: https://www.ustraveldocs.com/xk/en/collection-locations, 2026-10-12)

### My passport expired, but the U.S. visa in it is still valid. Do I need a new visa?

No. Travel with both passports, as long as the visa is valid, undamaged, and the right type for your trip. Both passports should be from the same country. Do not move the visa into the new passport: it would no longer be valid. (About Visas - The Basics: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/frequently-asked-questions/about-basics.html, 2026-10-11)

### My visa expires while I am in the United States. Is that a problem?

No. You may stay until the date on your I-94 or admission stamp, even if the visa expires before then. (About Visas - The Basics: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/frequently-asked-questions/about-basics.html, 2026-10-11)

### I changed my name. Is my U.S. visa in my old name still valid?

First you need a new passport. When your name legally changes through marriage, divorce, or a court order, you get a new passport, and the State Department then recommends applying for a new visa, to make travel easier. (About Visas - The Basics: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/frequently-asked-questions/about-basics.html, 2026-10-11)

### My passport with my U.S. visa was lost or stolen. What do I do?

Report it to the police, then email the U.S. embassy or consulate that issued the visa. Your own country’s embassy replaces the passport. A U.S. visa cannot be replaced inside the United States: you apply in person at a U.S. embassy or consulate abroad, with a written account of the loss and the police report. If you are in the United States, you may stay until the date on your I-94. (Lost and Stolen Passports, Visas, and Arrival/Departure Records (Form I-94): https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/lost-stolen-visas.html, 2026-10-11)

### There is a mistake on my U.S. visa. What do I do?

Contact the nonimmigrant visa section of the embassy or consulate that issued it. Check the visa as soon as you receive it: everything on it should match your passport. (About Visas - The Basics: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/frequently-asked-questions/about-basics.html, 2026-10-11)

### Does a U.S. visa guarantee entry into the United States?

No. A visa lets you travel to a U.S. port of entry and ask to be admitted. A CBP officer there decides whether you enter. (About Visas - The Basics: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/frequently-asked-questions/about-basics.html, 2026-10-11; What the Visa Expiration Date Means: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/visa-expiration-date.html, 2026-10-11)

### Can I extend my stay in the United States?

Yes, by applying to USCIS on Form I-539 or I-129, depending on your visa, at least 45 days before the date on your I-94. USCIS extends the stay, not the visa; a visa is applied for at a U.S. embassy or consulate abroad. Some cannot extend, such as those admitted in transit (C), as crew (D), or as a fiancé(e) (K). (What the Visa Expiration Date Means: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/visa-expiration-date.html, 2026-10-11; Extend Your Stay: https://www.uscis.gov/visit-the-united-states/extend-your-stay, 2026-10-15; About Visas - The Basics: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/frequently-asked-questions/about-basics.html, 2026-10-11)

### I am in the United States as a visitor. Can I change to student status there?

Yes, you can apply to USCIS before your authorized stay expires. Do not start school until USCIS approves the change. Some cannot change, such as those admitted in transit (C), as crew (D), or as a fiancé(e) (K). (Change My Nonimmigrant Status: https://www.uscis.gov/visit-the-united-states/change-my-nonimmigrant-status, 2026-10-15)

### I did not turn in my paper I-94 when I left. What do I do?

Visitors no longer fill in a paper I-94: CBP takes arrivals and departures from electronic travel records, and records a departure by air or sea from the carrier’s passenger list. If you were given a paper I-94, it should be handed to the airline, the Canadian border agency (CBSA), or CBP when you leave; if you did not, see CBP’s website. (Arrival/Departure Forms: I-94: https://www.cbp.gov/travel/international-visitors/i-94, 2026-10-15; About Visas - The Basics: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/frequently-asked-questions/about-basics.html, 2026-10-11)

### Can The A Company guarantee my visa?

No. Nobody can: a consular officer interviews you and decides whether you qualify. (U.S. Embassy in Kosovo: Nonimmigrant Visa FAQ: https://xk.usembassy.gov/frequently-asked-questions-nonimmigrant-visa/, 2026-10-11)
