Why Choose B-1/B-2

What is the B-1/B-2 visa and who is it for?

The B-1/B-2 visa is for individuals temporarily visiting the U.S. for business (B-1) or tourism and medical visits (B-2). Whether you're attending meetings, visiting family, or exploring the country, this visa allows you to enter the U.S. for short stays—typically up to six months—with limited extension options.

FAQ

Common B-1/B-2 visa Q's

What is the B-1/B-2 visa used for?
Business (B-1) and tourism, medical, or family visits (B-2).
How long can I stay in the U.S. on a B-1/B-2 visa?
Typically up to 6 months per visit, with potential for 6-month extensions.
Can I work in the U.S. on a B-1/B-2 visa?
No. This visa does not allow any employment or income generation in the U.S.
Can I attend conferences or business meetings on a B-1 visa?
Yes, as long as you are not employed or paid by a U.S. company.
Can I switch to another visa type while in the U.S. on a B-1/B-2?
It’s possible to apply for a change of status (e.g., to F-1 or H-1B), but approval is not guaranteed.
What are the requirements for a B-1/B-2 visa?
Proof of temporary stay, financial support, and strong ties to your home country.
Do I need a round-trip ticket for a B-1/B-2 visa?
It's strongly recommended to show return travel plans to demonstrate intent to leave.
Can I visit family on a B-2 visa?
Yes. Visiting friends or family is a valid reason under the B-2 category.
What documents do I need for a B-1/B-2 interview?
Passport, DS-160 confirmation, appointment letter, and supporting documents (finances, itinerary, ties to home country).
What is the visa rejection rate for B-1/B-2 applicants?
High for some countries - often due to weak ties, past overstays, or unclear travel purpose.
Can I visit a doctor or get surgery in the U.S. on a B-2 visa?
Yes, but you must show proof of medical need, funding, and arrangements.
Is a B-1/B-2 visa a good way to immigrate?
No. It’s a non-immigrant visa and misuse may hurt future visa or green card applications.
Can I study on a B-2 visa?
No. Studying is not permitted unless you apply to change your status to F-1.
Can I enter the U.S. multiple times with a B-1/B-2 visa?
Yes, if it’s a multiple-entry visa and you respect stay limits.
What’s the difference between ESTA and B-1/B-2?
ESTA is for visa waiver countries, valid for up to 90 days. B-1/B-2 allows longer stays and is required for non-waiver countries.
Do I need an invitation letter for a B-2 visa?
It helps, especially for family visits, but is not strictly required.
Can I extend my stay on a B-1/B-2 visa?
Yes, by filing Form I-539 before your current stay expires.
Will a B-1/B-2 overstay affect future visas?
Yes. Overstaying is a serious violation and can lead to bans or future denials.
How long does it take to get a B-1/B-2 visa?
Processing varies by embassy, but usually takes a few weeks from application to interview.
Should I hire a lawyer for a B-1/B-2 visa?
Not required, but helpful if you have prior denials, unclear intent, or a complex situation.
