A passport is essential for the USA. Regardless of your destination in the United States, you must have a modern passport, whether it is biometric or electronic. Make sure it is not an older passport as it will not be accepted at the airport. US law also requires the passport to be valid for at least 6 months after your intended departure from the United States. This means that even if you are planning a two-week language stay in Los Angeles, your passport should be valid for an additional 6 months beyond that stay.
Anticipation is essential to ensure you have all the necessary documents for your stay. If your passport is not up to date or has a short validity period, you will need to apply for a new passport and wait for it to be processed. If you submit an application close to summer, processing times are extended and can sometimes take up to two months.
