Fiance & Marriage Visas
7. Overseas Spouses of U.S. Citizens
3. Your Pets
Good news for your dog and cat, who may not have learned to sign their names yet—they won’t need a visa. Bringing pets into the United States is not an immigration law matter. But before bringing any pets to the United States, you will need to check into U.S. customs restrictions. In general, pets will be admitted if they are in good health and have had all the proper vaccinations. There are some restrictions, however. For example, monkeys aren’t allowed into the United States at all. Check with your local U.S. consulate for details, or read more on the Web at www.cbp.gov (enter “pets” into the search box, which will bring up a publication called “Pets and Wildlife: Licensing and Health Requirements”).
