Can I book a Visitor Visa appointment without submitting DS 160?
Yes, you can schedule an appointment before submitting the DS 160.
Most applicants prefer to do it that way to save time and complete the procedure in parallel as they wait for the real interview date.
How long is the B-1/B-2 Visitor Visa valid for?
The B-1/B-2 tourist visa in the United States is valid for ten years after it is issued.
If you intend to stay in the United States for an extended period of time after that, you will need to renew your B-1/B-2 Visa.
Who can apply for a B-1 Visa?
To be able to apply for a B-1 visa, you must show that you can do the following:
Your trip is intended to allow you to go to the United States for genuine business purposes.
You intend to stay only for a short time.
You have enough money to cover the costs of your trip as well as your time in the United States.
Can I extend my stay in the U.S. as a B Visa Holder?
If you need to prolong your stay, you can apply for a B-1/B-2 visa extension, but your stay in the United States is limited to one year. So, if you’re given a six-month period, you can only extend it for another six months. However, you must provide a compelling reason for the extension. You must be able to demonstrate a ‘need’ to stay longer.
What kind of Visa is a B-1?
The B1 visa is a non-immigrant US visa that allows people to enter the country for business.
Unless they qualify for entry under the Visa Waiver Program, a foreign citizen traveling to the United States for temporary business requires a Visitor Visa B-1.
Attending business meetings or consultations, attending a business convention or conference, and negotiating contracts are all examples of temporary business.
How to apply for a B-2 Visa?

first you must complete the DS-160 Form which is an Online Nonimmigrant Visa application.

After this, you should schedule an interview in the nearest U.S. consulate/embassy in your home country, make sure you prepare yourself for the interview by gathering all the required documents and practicing interview questions!
