Who can get a visa?

Hajj Visas are issued to people living in the USA legally. What this means is that US Citizens, Resident Aliens, Contracted Workers, Students etc, can get a Visa to go to the Hajj from the USA. Those people who have "US Visitor Visa" cannot get a Hajj Visa from the USA. They will have to apply through their respective countries.

How can someone from the USA attend the Hajj?

Anyone desirous of making the Hajj must contact a Hajj Provider / Group that have good experience in the Hajj Industry.

How is the application processed?

After making contact with a Hajj Provider and you agree to accept their services, the next step is to register with that group. This is how most of the Hajj Groups process their applicants. HAJJ-USA of New York requires that a registration and deposit is made, then you are considered part of the group.

Finally, you will have to send your passport, greencard (if you are not a citizen of the USA) or travel document with the Saudi Visa Application Form. The group organizers will then submit the documents for the Hajj Visa.
