Who is eligible for the B-1 Visa?
To be eligible for a B-1 visa, you must show that the purpose of your travel is to enter the United States for legitimate business, that you expect to stay for a certain limited period of time, and that you have adequate funds to cover the costs of your stay in the United States.
You must also have a permanent residence outside of the United States that you do not intend to depart, as well as other ties that will secure your return to your home country at the end of your visit.
How many B-1/B-2 Visa applications have been accepted?
In recent years many Temporary Visitor for Business and Pleasure (B-1/B-2) Visas have been issued! Less and less people were applying for these visas but at the end of it all because of the current situation among us the number of applicants went down a lot.
How can I get a B-1 or B-2 Visitor Visa?
To begin, fill out the Online Non-Immigrant Application (DS-160) and print the confirmation document, which you will need for the embassy/consulate interview.
You must upload a digital photo, pay the visa fees, and schedule an interview at the nearest United States Embassy in your home country!
Even though the Visa application process is quite simple, obtaining the actual visa successfully might be a bit challenging.
The United States State Department, through its consulates around the world has been rejecting a few Visitor Visa applications mainly due to incorrect information. Make sure to check everything before submitting and be confident!
What type of VISITOR VISAS does the U.S. offer?
The United States offers two types of visitor Visas, B-1 and B-2.
If you want to visit the U.S. for business purposes such as: meet with business associates, attend scientific, educational, professional, or business conventions/conferences, settle an estate, or negotiate contracts then should apply for the B-1 visa.
Whereas, if you want to visit the U.S. for leisure travel, such as tourism, visits friends or relatives, medical treatment, or service activities then you should apply for the B-2 Visitor Visa!

You must save your application to your computer hard disk or a USD flash drive after 30 days to access it.
