Apply for USA B1/B2 Visit Visa | Tourism and Business Use

The USA remains a primary destination for Indian travelers, but 2026 has introduced stricter screening and higher costs. The B1/B2 visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows for business meetings (B1) and tourism or medical treatment (B2).

New 'Visa Integrity Fee': Effective late 2026, a mandatory $250 Integrity Fee has been added to most non-immigrant categories. This is designed to fund enhanced security screening and must be paid before scheduling your appointment.

Mandatory In-Person Interviews: Under the updated policy, the 'Dropbox' or interview waiver facility is now restricted. Even if you are renewing a 10-year visa, you should be prepared for a mandatory interview at a US Consulate.

Strategic Planning: Due to unprecedented demand, we recommend initiating your application at least 10 months before your intended travel date. At Abhinav, we help you monitor slot cancellations to secure earlier dates where possible.
