Who Can Apply 

Applicants intending to visit the USA temporarily for business or tourism can apply for the B1/B2 Visa. They must demonstrate an intention to return to their home country after the visit and show proof of sufficient financial resources to cover expenses during their stay. 

Visa Conditions 

• Duration: Typically granted for up to five years, allowing multiple entries. In some cases, visas may be issued for shorter durations (e.g., 6 or 12 months), depending on the applicant’s stated purpose. 

• Fees: The standard application fee is $185. 

• Processing Time: Generally, around 10 working days after the interview. However, due to current delays in interview availability, we recommend starting your application several months before your planned travel date. 

• Possibility of Extension: Extensions are possible but must be applied for while in the USA, with a valid reason justifying the extended stay. Extensions are subject to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) approval, and we do not handle extension applications. For such cases, we suggest consulting a U.S.-based immigration lawyer. 

• Accompanying Family Members:  Family members can apply for their own B-2 visas to accompany the primary applicant, each needing to demonstrate eligibility and the intent to return to their home country. 

Common Reasons for Refusal 

• Insufficient Ties to Home Country: Applicants must provide evidence of strong connections to their home country to show intent to return. 

• Lack of Financial Resources: Proof of financial self-sufficiency for the duration of stay is required. 

• Incomplete or Inaccurate Application: Errors or omissions in the application can lead to refusals. 

• Previous Immigration Violations: Past visa or immigration violations may impact approval of a new visa.
