Document preparation and interview preparation for tourism, business meetings, and family visits on the B1/B2 visitor visa.
The B1/B2 is the U.S. visitor visa for temporary travel — tourism, medical treatment, business meetings, conferences, and visiting family. Because it is a nonimmigrant visa, the key is demonstrating the purpose of your trip and your ties to your home country.
Genius Getaway helps you organize a clear, consistent application package and prepares you for the consular interview so you can present your case with confidence.
The B1 covers business activities such as meetings, negotiations, and conferences. The B2 covers tourism, visiting family, and medical treatment. Most applicants receive a combined B1/B2 visa.

No. The B1/B2 does not permit employment in the U.S. It is strictly for temporary business or tourism activities.

Common B1/B2 documents include a valid passport, a photo meeting specifications, your DS-160 confirmation, proof of funds to cover the trip, evidence of ties to your home country, and your travel purpose (invitation, itinerary, or business letter). Requirements vary by consulate. Genius Getaway prepares a tailored checklist. See our B1/B2 visa assistance.
Generally you complete the DS-160, pay the visa fee, schedule your interview, and attend it with your documents at a U.S. embassy or consulate. Preparation and consistency matter throughout. Genius Getaway helps you complete each preparation step accurately. Learn about our B1/B2 support and DS-160 assistance.
No. The B1/B2 is strictly for temporary business visits (B1) or tourism (B2) and does not permit employment in the U.S. Working on a visitor visa can cause serious immigration problems. If you're seeking to work, other visa categories apply. Explore our visa services.
The visa lets you travel to a U.S. port of entry, but the actual authorized stay is set by the CBP officer on arrival (recorded on your I-94), often up to six months. Overstaying has serious consequences. Genius Getaway helps you prepare for a smooth entry. See our B1/B2 visa assistance.
A B1/B2 is based on your own qualifications and intent to visit temporarily, though a U.S. friend or relative can provide an invitation letter as supporting evidence. It's not a formal sponsorship like immigrant categories. Genius Getaway helps you assemble supporting documents. Learn about our B1/B2 support.
You generally need to show you can afford your trip and will return home — often through bank statements, employment proof, or a sponsor's documents if someone is funding you. Clear, credible financial evidence helps. Genius Getaway advises what to include and how to present it. See our B1/B2 assistance.
Ties are evidence you intend to return — such as stable employment, family, property, business, or studies. Strong, documented ties support your nonimmigrant intent. Genius Getaway helps you identify and organize this evidence for your interview. Learn about our B1/B2 visa support.
Yes, the B2 covers medical treatment in the U.S. You'll typically need documentation of the treatment plan, the provider, and how you'll pay for care and your stay. Genius Getaway helps you prepare medical-visit documentation. Contact us to get started.
Apply well ahead of your trip, since appointment wait times and processing vary by consulate and season — starting early avoids missing your travel dates. Genius Getaway helps you prepare promptly so you're ready to schedule. Learn about our B1/B2 visa assistance.
In some cases visitors may request an extension of authorized stay before it expires, subject to eligibility and approval — you must not overstay while waiting. Genius Getaway can help prepare extension documentation. Contact us to learn more.
Each family member typically needs their own B1/B2 application and documentation, including for children. Family applications can often be prepared together. Genius Getaway helps organize documents for the whole family. See our B1/B2 assistance.
Having U.S. relatives doesn't automatically prevent a visitor visa, but you'll want to clearly demonstrate your ties and intent to return home. Honest, well-documented answers help. Genius Getaway helps you present your situation clearly. Learn about our interview preparation.
Yes — attending meetings, conferences, or negotiations is a typical B1 business activity, as long as you're not performing paid work in the U.S. Genius Getaway helps you document your business purpose. See our B1/B2 visa support.
A B1/B2 visa's validity (how long you can use it to seek entry) varies by country and is set by the U.S. government — it's separate from how long you may stay per visit, which the CBP officer decides. Genius Getaway helps you prepare correctly. Learn about our B1/B2 assistance.
The visa number is printed on your visa foil, typically in red — its location is standardized on the U.S. visa document. Genius Getaway helps you understand your visa documents once issued. Contact us with questions.
