Hello Steemit friends!
If you’re planning to travel to the United States for tourism, visiting family/friends, or attending a short business meeting, you’ll need to apply for a B1/B2 Visitor Visa. In this post, I’ll break down everything you need to know based on my own experience and thorough research. 👇
⸻
📝 What is a B1/B2 Visa?
The B1/B2 visa is a non-immigrant visa for people who want to travel to the U.S. temporarily:
• B1 – for business purposes (meetings, conferences)
• B2 – for tourism, vacation, or visiting family/friends
Most applicants apply for a combined B1/B2 visa, which covers both categories.
