Move to the United States - Homeland Security

Short answer

To move from the Philippines to the United States, you may need a visa depending on your purpose (e.g., work, study, or family reunification). Common visa types include immigrant visas (family-sponsored or employment-based) and non-immigrant visas (temporary). Fees vary by visa type, typically ranging from $160 to $1,200. Processing times can take several months. Required documents generally include a valid passport, application forms, and supporting evidence. Verify current rules on official government or embassy sites as requirements change.
