Where to Apply for the Visitor Visa?
Applicants for visitor visas should generally apply at the American Embassy or Consulate with jurisdiction over their place of permanent residence. Even though visa applicants may apply at any U.S. consular office abroad, it may be additional challenging to qualify for the visa outside the country of permanent residence. |

B1 Business Visa Qualifications
The U.S. consular officer determines if the applicant is eligible to enter the United States or not. The following is the requirement by which the consular will grant the visitor visa. |
It is a presumption that every visitor visa applicant is an intending immigrant (has an intention to stay back in the U.S. permanently). Therefore, applicants for visitor visas have to overcome this presumption by demonstrating that:
Eligibility Requirements:
» The reason of their trip is to enter the U.S. for business, pleasure, or medical therapy.
» That they make arrangements to remain for an exact and limited period.
» Proof of funds to cover expenses in the United States;
» Proof of compelling social and economic ties abroad; and
» That they have a residence outside the U.S. as well as other binding ties which will insure their return abroad at the end of the visit. |
