How many B-2 Visas have been issued recently?
In the past years many Temporary Visitorfor Pleasure (B-2) Visas have been issued!
For the temporary visitor visa(the B2 visa) the interest of the applicants was gradually going down but then after the current situation it plummeted down.
What documents are needed to apply for a B-1/B-2 Visa?
The main documents needed to apply for a Visitor Visa are:
A passport valid for six months past the date of return,
a recent digital photograph 2×2,
Proof of funds to cover the entire cost of the trip,
including travel,
accommodation,
and living expenses,
Proof of binding ties to their home country,
such as a job,
property,
or family and documentation of the past five previous trips to the United States, if applicable
Can I extend my stay in the U.S. as a B Visa Holder?
If you need to prolong your stay, you can apply for a B-1/B-2 visa extension, but your stay in the United States is limited to one year. So, if you’re given a six-month period, you can only extend it for another six months. However, you must provide a compelling reason for the extension. You must be able to demonstrate a ‘need’ to stay longer.
The B2 visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows the bearer to visit the United States for a limited amount of time for travel, recreation, or family reasons.
If you are seeking medical treatment in the United States, or if you are an amateur performing in a social and/or charitable context, or as a competitor in a talent show or contest, or if you are an amateur athlete competing in an athletic event, or if your primary purpose of travel is tourism and you will be pursuing a course of study during your stay, you may be eligible for a B-2 visa.
How many B-1 Visas have been issued lately?
The United States is a wonderfully diverse country that provides numerous opportunities for family members to visit each other, business partners to negotiate contracts, athletes to compete in various competitions, entertainers to perform, tourists to visit the country, and even individuals in need of medical treatment to receive proper care.
It comes as no surprise that there are a large number of B Visa applicants each year, and the number is growing!
You must complete the following procedures in order to apply for a Business Visa:
1. Fill out the DS-160 online nonimmigrant visa application;
2. Pay the B-1 visa fees.
3. Make an appointment with the nearest consulate or embassy in your native country for your visa interview;
4. Gather your B-1 Visa documents (don’t forget the DS-160 confirmation) and be on time for your interview!
Can I work in the U.S. on a B-1/B-2 visa?
The answer to that is no. While you are permitted to enter the United States for business purposes, you are not permitted to work or be hired by a U.S. employer.
Other visa categories, such as the H-1B visa, may be of interest if you want to work in the United States for a U.S. firm.
How long can I stay in the United States on the B-1/B-2 visa?
When you enter the United States, a customs officer will grant you permission to stay for up to six months.
If you want to stay longer, you may be eligible to request for a one-year extension.
