Why are B-1/B-2 Visas rejected?
The answer to that could be information that is either insufficient or incorrect.
If you provide erroneous or missing information on the application form, you will be denied a US visa.
Even if the section does not apply to you, the Ds-160 form should not be left blank.
Every aspect is crucial!
What are the 5 steps to apply for a U.S. Business Visa (B-1)?
To apply for a Business Visa, you need to follow these steps:
1. Complete the Online Nonimmigrant Visa Application (DS-160 Form);
2. Pay the B-1 Visa fees;
3. Schedule your visa interview at the closest consulate or embassy in your home country;
4. Prepare your B-1 Visa documents (don’t forget the DS-160 confirmation) and
5. Attend the interview on time!
The decision of whether to apply for a B-1 or B-2 visa is heavily influenced by your current situation as well as your future plans.
In general, a B visa is the best option if you plan to visit the United States for a short period of time.
Neither is best but you can apply for either the B-1 Visa, which is primarily used for business and professional purposes, or the B-2 Visa if you want to visit the United States as a tourist!
What are the required documents for the B Visitor Visa?
If you apply for a business/tourist visa, you must submit the following:
a valid passport (with a validity date at least six months beyond your intended period of stay in the United States),
a Nonimmigrant Visa Electronic Application (DS-160) Form,
a 2 x 2 inch (51 x 51 mm) photograph of yourself taken within the last six months,
proof of ties to your home country such as family,
job contract,
lease,
or property deed,
criminal records or letters from authorities stating that you do not have prior convictions,
a letter which describes the purpose of your trip,
and financial or bank statements to prove you have the finances to stay in the US!
How long does DS 160 last?
You can work on your Form DS-160 at your own pace as long as you keep track of your progress.
You have 30 days to finish the DS-160 if you have a partially completed application.
You must save your application to your computer hard disk or a USD flash drive after 30 days to access it.
How many B-1/B-2/BCC Visas have been issued lately?
The Combination of B-1/B-2 Visa and Border Crossing Card has been issued quite a lot in recent years!
People were showing a lot of interest these past years, the applications were increasing gradually and steadily each year until the current situation made it go down drastically.
How do I extend my stay on the B-1/B-2 visa?
If your permitted stay in the United States is about to expire, you may want to extend it, especially since staying in the United States for longer than you were allowed can have long-term effects. If you have a B-1/B-2 visa, you can request a one-year extension of your stay. To do so, fill out Form I-539, Request to Extend or Change Status. It’s best if you request for an extension of your status at least 45 days before your approved stay expires, so be careful and plan ahead!
Depending on your reason for visiting the United States, you could either apply for the B-1 Visa which is a nonimmigrant temporary Visa for business purposes or the B-2 Visa which is also a temporary Visa for tourism purposes and more.
