B-1/B-2 Visitor Visa
The B-1 visa is intended for business visitors including those attending meetings, participating in business transactions, conferences or similar activities. A B-2 visa is intended for visitors for pleasure such as tourists or for purposes visiting friends and family. Another permissible function of the B-2 is for an individual coming to the United States for medical treatment or as a prospective student interviewing at Universities and colleges. The B-1/B-2 is not a status that provides for U.S. work authorization.
Each Embassy/Consulate operates somewhat differently in each country depending upon that country’s specific conditions and profile. Consulate Officers are trained to take these conditions into consideration when issuing visas and in this situation first impressions matter greatly. Primarily, the Consulate requires documentary proof of your ability to support yourself while you are in the United States. You must show that you have enough funds for your trip and any expenses. Furthermore, the Consulate will require evidence that you have strong ties to your home country—that you are more than likely to return home after your visit (whether for business or pleasure). It is the standards that you must address in order to secure a B-1 or B-2 visitor visa.
We recommend that before applying please consult us and receive professional advice or let us represent your application with the concern embassy/consulate of United States.
