The B-2 visa is also known as the “tourist” visa. This visa applies to citizens of foreign countries who wish to visit the United States for a temporary visit for pleasure, medical treatment, or tourism purposes.
A B-2 can be issued in either single-entry or multiple-entry formats. In addition, this visa may also be issued for a limited time frame or on an indefinite basis.
To get started on your application for a B-2 visa, call Gambacorta Law at 1-847-786-2599.
To procure a B-2 tourist visa, you will have to prove that you meet the eligibility requirements and complete the application process.
The B-2 visa is available to:
The B-2 visa will only be issued to applicants who can demonstrate the financial resources that would accommodate round-trip travel to and from the United States as well as payment of all living expenses during the temporary visit. If you are the individual with a B-2 status, you are not allowed to engage in unauthorized employment in the United States and must only engage in legitimate activities. Moreover, you must prove to the consular officer that you will return abroad upon completing your temporary visit for pleasure.
You may also be able to enter the U.S for certain types of study on a B-2 visa. If you are traveling to the United States for tourism and at the same time you want to take a short course of study, that is taken as recreational and not for credit toward a degree. The course must be less than 18 hours per week. Students must also check with the school or program they wish to attend and with the U.S. consular officer in their home country to determine if they can use a tourist visa for their specific school or program.
To obtain a B-2, you will have to:
Visitors are not permitted to work in the U.S. There is also no guarantee that a tourist visa will be issued to the applicants; thus, we advise that you do not make final travels plans or buy a plane ticket before a visa is finally issued. Upon issuance of a visa, it is considered valid until its expiration date or until canceled or revoked. With this, a valid visa remains valid even if your passport expires.
