C-1 visa Application

Transit
Anyone planning to transit through the United States en route to another country must obtain a transit visa (C visa) or tourist visa (B2 visa) in advance of the planned travel. The transit visa (C visa) is issued to foreign nationals proceeding in immediate and continuous transit through the U.S to some foreign destination. In most cases, an applicant who qualifies for a transit visa will also qualify for, and receive, a B1/B2 (business and tourism) visa instead. Travelers who have a valid B1/B2 do not need a special transit (C) visa to transit through the U.S.  Countries of the Visa Waiver program are exempt.

I recommend you to post questions to iflychina, because most discussion here are about F-1 visa
