Tourist Visa
A U.S. Tourist Visa, also known as a B-2 Visa, allows individuals to visit the United States for leisure, tourism, or medical treatment. Applicants must demonstrate strong ties to their home country, such as employment, family, or property, to ensure their return after their temporary stay. The application process involves completing Form DS-160, paying the application fee, scheduling an interview at a U.S. embassy or consulate, and providing necessary documentation, including a valid passport, a photograph, evidence of financial means, and a detailed travel itinerary. During the interview, applicants must prove their intention to return to their home country and that they will not engage in unauthorized activities while in the U.S. If granted, the B-2 Visa typically allows stays of up to six months, with the possibility of requesting an extension.
