USA Business Visa

Based on the business needs, the US Business visa can be of different types. Generally, the US Business Visa is determined based on the duration of your business trip. It can be either a short-term or a long business visa. The visa issued to individuals who need to visit the US for business purposes is a B-1 Visa. Business visa seekers thus need to apply on a B1 visa for legally travelling to the United States of America for business purposes. Please note that the B1 visa is a temporary visa.

You can apply for USA Business Visa in the following manner:

• First, select the visa you want to apply for.

• Fill out the DS-160 form with all the details.

• Then, upload the passport-size photograph and even sign it automatically.

• After this, you will have to pay the visa fees which are non-refundable.

• Then, take a printout of the application form for future reference.

• Next, book your interview schedule as that is a mandatory requirement. During your interview, you need to be clear and strong about your business needs and your motive of travel to the US.

• Only after you clear the interview will you be issued a USA Business Visa.

Some of the documents required for applying for the USA Business Visa Application:
