What is a B-2 Visa?

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 to apply for the B-1/B-2 Visitor Visa?

First you will need to complete the Online Non-Immigrant Application (DS-160) and print the confirmation page because you need it for the interview at the embassy/consulate. You need to upload a digital photo, pay the visa fees and schedule then attend an interview at the closest U.S. Embassy in your home country!

How long can I stay in the U.S. with a Visitor Visa?

Visitors with a US B-1/B-2 Visa are allowed to stay in the country for up to 180 days per entry. You are not permitted to seek paid labor or employment during your visit because it is strictly limited to business or tourism.

Can I book a Visitor Visa appointment without submitting DS 160?

Yes, you can schedule an appointment before submitting the DS 160. Most applicants prefer to do it that way to save time and complete the procedure in parallel as they wait for the real interview date.
