What is the procedure for securing a Visitor Visa?
One of the first things you should do is fill out the Online Nonimmigrant Visa Application (Form DS-160).
After that, print the confirmation sheet and bring it with you when you arrange and attend your Visa interview at the US Embassy. Remember to attach a digital photo of your passport scan and pay the fees before scheduling.
These two documents are required for the interview!
Required documents for a B-2 Visa?
Applicants applying for a B-2 Visa must bring the following documents to the Consulate or Embassy for their visa interview:
a valid passport,
the DS-160 form confirmation page,
a 2×2 inch photo,
application fee payment receipt,
the appointment letter or a copy of it,
proof of current income and assets,
a travel itinerary,
criminal records in case you have been arrested,
a letter from your employer stating your salary,
employment period and position.
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!
How many B Visitor Visas have been issued lately?
In the past years many Temporary Visitor for Business (B-1) Visas and Temporary Visitor for Pleasure (B-2) Visas have been issued!
The number of applicants for these visas was gradually going up until the current situation which made the applications plummet down to half!
The B1 visa is a non-immigrant US visa that allows people to enter the country for business.
Unless they qualify for entry under the Visa Waiver Program, a foreign citizen traveling to the United States for temporary business requires a Visitor Visa B-1.
Attending business meetings or consultations, attending a business convention or conference, and negotiating contracts are all examples of temporary business.
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.
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.
Who can apply for a B-2 visa?
In order to be qualify for a B-2 visa You must meet or demonstrate all of the following requirements:
Demonstrate that your visit is only temporary.
You must show that you intend to leave the United States at the end of your stay, and you must have a valid foreign passport.
You must also maintain a residence abroad to which you intend to return and from which you may financially support yourself while in the United States.
