The United States is located in the western part of the Atlantic Ocean and is approximately 9,629,091 sq. kms. This area includes Alaska, Hawaii and Washington D.C. The United States borders with Canada to the North and Mexico to the South. The coastline of the United States is 19,924 km.
The United States is the third largest country in the world. Various terrains can be found in the United States, such as hills, mountains, valleys, agricultural land and desert landscapes. There are national parks all across the country, such as Yellowstone and Yosemite in the West and Acadia in the Northeast.

Attorneys may appear with clients at non-immigrant visa (NIV) interviews, at the discretion of the interviewing officer. The ground rules relating to such appearance––including attorney participation during the interview––are determined by the interviewing officer, on a case-by-case basis. Advance written permission (usually in the form of an email) to appear in a given case is required in order for the attorney to be admitted into the Visa Section.
