Visitor Visa B-1/B-2
For travel to the U.S., you will need a visitor (tourist) visa, which will be stamped in your passport. A visitor visa is a nonimmigrant visa for people who want to enter the U.S. temporarily. The visa is typically issued for a period of one to three years, allowing for multiple entries into the country with a maximum stay of 180 consecutive days per trip.
To be approved for a tourist visa, adhering to the visa application procedures, abiding by the established rules, and undergoing an interview with a consul are paramount. The consul will extensively inquire about your purposes for visiting the U.S. and complete details of your trip. Additionally, the non-refundable consular fee of $185.00 per person should be noted.
This involved process can be complex and nerve-wracking for many individuals, with the potential for irreversible mistakes that could lead to visa denial. Furthermore, even with an approved visa, you will undergo an interview in English at the U.S. border, conducted by an officer of Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Failing this interview could result in visa annulment, deportation, and a possible ban of 5 to 10 years on entering the U.S.
