BASIC REQUIREMENTS:

If you apply for a B-1/B-2 visa, you must show a consular official that you meet the requirements of the US Immigration and Nationality Act in order to be granted a visa to enter the country (INA). According to INA Section 214(b), every B-1/B-2 applicant is deemed to be an intending immigrant. To disprove this legal presumption, you must demonstrate:

• That you are visiting the country temporarily for a specific reason, such as business, leisure, or medical care.
• You intend to stay in the United States for a limited time only.
• You have proof of sufficient finances to cover your costs while visiting the United States.
• You have a place of residence outside the country, in addition to other strong social or economic ties that will guarantee your return to your home country after your visit.

The eligibility criteria of the US tourist visa are:

Show proof of your travel:

• If it is for tourism, you need to show a travel schedule, tickets, etc.
• A letter of invitation is required if you are visiting family or friends.
• You must present the required medical documentation if it is for medical reasons.
• If it is for business, then:

You must display business invitations, etc.
You must show proof that you are a foreigner.
You must display the intent to leave the country to the immigration officer.
You must not work, study, or do paid performances.

• You must display sufficient proof of funds.
• You must have a residence in your home country.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

A tourist (B1/B2) visa holder is not allowed to accept a job offer or to work in the US.

You can't be certain that you'll get a visa. Make no final travel arrangements or purchases of tickets until you receive a visa.

A current U.S. visa is still valid in an old passport. A visa is valid until the expiration date unless it is cancelled or revoked. Do not remove a valid visa from a passport that has expired if it is present. For travel and entry into the United States, you may utilize both the valid visa in your expired passport and the new, valid passport.

TRAVEL FOR MEDICAL TREATMENT

At your visa interview, the consular official may request more paperwork if you want to receive medical treatment in the US, such as:

• A medical diagnosis from a local doctor describing the nature of your condition and why you require treatment in the US.
• Letter from a doctor or medical facility in the US indicating their willingness to treat your particular condition and outlining the expected length and cost of care (including doctor's fees, hospital fees, and all other medical-related costs).
• Evidence confirming your living, medical, and transportation costs in the US will be covered. This could take the form of verified copies of income tax returns, bank statements, or other types of financial statements (either yours or the person or organization paying for your treatment).
