C-1/D Visa - Crew members

The C-1/D Visa

C-1/D visas can be issued for individuals or for an entire crew.

A crew member may not be employed in connection with domestic flights or movements of a vessel or aircraft. However, nonimmigrant crewmen may perform crewmember duties through stopovers on an international flight for any United States carrier where such flight uses a single aircraft and has an origination or destination point outside the United States.
