If you want to apply for visit visa for tourism or visiting a family member in United States you will need to apply for a B2 visit visa. B1 visit visa is for business travelers only. The process for applying for B1 or B2 visa is the same and is mentioned below.
You will need to have a picture taken according to the requirement of united states embassy which should be with white background and 2 x 2 inches in size.
- You only need to fill one form which is DS-160 that is web based, you will need to fill the information online.
- After submitting an online application you will get a confirmation which you need to print.
- After that you will need to visit an American Express Bank Ltd, a participating branch of American Express, or Speedex in Pakistan where you need to submit the fee and get the receipt . Visa fee is $160 which is around 17,070 Pak Rupee (previously it was $140).
- You will need to take below mentioned documents at speedex or participating branch of American Express for appointment date.
- They will take the documents and will give you the appointment for interview and will notify you about the date and time.
List of Documents:
You must take these documents when you go for an appointment. You would also need to present some more documents on interview day depending upon your reason of visit.
- The one-page confirmation form (with legible barcode) from the DS-160;
- A current photo (within the last 6 months) measuring 2″ x 2″ with white background;
- A photocopy of the applicant’s passport valid for at least 6 months beyond the planned date of entry to the U.S.
- Photocopies of the bio-pages of all previous passports for the last 15 years.
- A complete travel history for last 10 years, mention the name of country, entry or exit date.
- A list of applicant’s siblings and children names.
List of Documents for:
When you will go to the embassy for an interview, you will need to present some more documents. What documents you would need will depend completely on your reason for visit. I have prepared documents checklist for visit visas related to family visit and business visit. Please click on the relevant link for the detailed information.
On interview day:
- On the interview date reach at-least 30 minutes in advance, keep in mind that you will have to take the shuttle so calculate time accordingly.
- Interview is mostly straight forward mainly focusing on your reason to visit and to evaluate whether you will come back to Pakistan or not.
- Most of the times if your visa is rejected you will be notified at the spot and your passport will be returned.
- If they keep your passport, you will be asked to wait for the administration process. Once the administration process is complete they courier your passport to your home.
- Normally they give 90 days time period when your visa will be issued, you will not be able to expedite the visa process in any case. For women the visa can be issued as early as two days most of the times within a week however for male it can take 2 to 8 months. My personal experience is that it mostly takes more than three months so you need to apply for visa ahead of time so you can travel on time.
- You might send email to US embassy after 90 days if your visa is still not issued but they will always tell you that the processing time may take time and they can not confirm anytime when your visa will be ready.

They returned my father in law passport in 8 months and my father’s passport in 9 months in total. Both names started with “Muhammad” I think whoever has name Mohammad they require extra time to search their database because its the most commonly used name in the whole world.
My mother visa issued in two days and mine in 5. Usually for women its quite fast but still apply 3 months in advance.

HELLO, admin
I hope u would great.my fiance lives in USA (california),we have both been deciding getting married soon.what should i do,should i go for a B1 or B2 visit visas. Reaching and marry with her and be settled over there. but at that case it would be suppoesd as visa ‘s fraud as u mentioned in yours replies to people having a mess same of mine.only opportunity is left for k-1 visa,please let me know, does k-1do any good in this regard,how much time do i have to wait in lieu of USA visa.would it be better to apply k-1 from my fiancee .
i m w8in for ur kind reply..
Dear Danish, you can apply for a visit visa B1/B2, but they usually refuse it when they know you have a fiance there because they assume you will get married there and will not come back. The visa fraud is when you say you are going to visit her get married and stay there and never come back. You should apply for a K1 visa, I am not sure how much time it would take and embassy can’t tell you either. It can take 2 months to 8 months, no one can tell. for K1 you must get married within 3 months when you reach there. More details here
http://islamabad.usembassy.gov/fiance.html
thanks foe a kind hearted reply,,
if i choose ,for instance either B1 or B2 visit visas , without telling the embassy my hidden intentions i am succeeded in getting the visa and got married over there with my fiancee with in days.will USA allow me to stay with her at indefinite time period.or will they deport me at once if they come to know….
the second thing .should K1 visa application apply from my side or from my finacee side? ,,what would be the most suitable thing for us….
thanks
Dear Danish, first solution is considered fraud and you might not get citizenship or they might deport you, either way if your case is legit why taking a risk? Go legal and apply for a K1. The process to apply is mentioned on embassy website where your fiance has to file some paperwork.
thanks a lot dear…i will go for it,,once again thanks,

waiting for early reply.
kind regards
@mudassir, yes you can always apply for a visa to visit your friends in United States however it is most likely that you will be refused if you are a young man and does not have a very highly paid job. I am not discouraging you, you can always apply for the visa, if you get it then its great.
my aunty and uncle in usa my uncle send me invitation letter and all of documents to me when i was like to meet m y uncle and aunt what we do
Invitation letters are not the requirements for applying visa however you can take it with you when you will go for an interview in case they ask for it. You will follow the same process of applying for a visit visa, while filling application it will ask for the information of a person you know who is living in United States, you can give your uncle information there and your relationship with them. You will apply for a B2 visa and follow the steps mentioned on the webpage.
hello,
i m a graduated from pakistan my cousin is in U.S.A he has the nationality of U.ZS.A i want to go there for meet my cousin i m 25 year old and i want to visit there what are the suggestions kindly let me know thnx…
Hi, just be yourself, try to convince that you will return and do mentioned any assets you have or they want you to have good job in Pakistan. Having family in Pakistan sometimes help too however not most of the times. The main thing they look for is that what ties you have with your country for which you will come back and will not illegally stay in United States.
A.O.A.
Recently the U.S has changed the rules about visit visa no one can sponcer visit visa from U.S however what ur relation is.Only above 50 years old person can get the visa if they have a good job and tax paid and have them strong bank statement/passbook other wise there is no chance to get the visit visa of U.S.I would strongly recomend each every 1 of u that dont waste ur money to apply U.S visit visa with out known any information..
Can you please authenticate this information as I have seen many young people going to attend meetings, conferences etc on visit visa?
applying for B2 visa with all family members,(four children) question is will they take interview separately one by one or as a group they take interview.
You will be interviewed as one group. You will be called together and presented in front of immigration officer as a group. He will talk to one person (you in your case) and if require he/she can talk to other adults in group as well.

i have been reading mr. Usman’s comments which have disappointed me a bit. my mother is a Filipino and my father is of course Pakistani and a Doctor. they want to apply for a visit visa to meet my maternal grand parents (my mother’s father n mother) who live in the U.S and are U.S citizens along with my aunts and uncles who also live in the U.S. my question is, what’s the reason for which they would possibly reject my parents’ visit visa application?? and i want to ask the Admin if my aunt who is also a U.S citizen can sponsor a my parents?? if yes then what documents she would be needing us to send her??
Wsalam,
Dear Nadia, the information Mr. Usman provided above is not authenticated and advertised by US embassy so you can stick to the info provided on United States embassy website only.
Answer: If they have never been to United States illegally I don’t see a reason why they shouldn’t get a visa. There is no need for visa sponsorship however you can mention your Aunt as your first contact and mention her address and details in your DS160 form.
AOA,
thanks so very much for the reply. And no they have never ever been to U.S illegally of course or otherwise.
I hope we will get the visas as my parents have no intention to stay there but to visit my grandparents. Again thanks for providing information,I am checking the link now.

Thanx in advance.
You mother can get a visit visa whether you are on green card or a citizen of United States. Its easy for people over 60 to get visa specially women. She can get visa in as early as 2 business days time if immigration officer is satisfied that she will come back. Even if she is not 60 she can get a visa, Normal process will be followed and she will visit embassy and will be told there and then about the approval or non-approval of visa.

Dear Sara,
I am not sure if you can apply for a visit visa or not because what I know is that if you are in process of getting a green card you cannot get another visa. I remember once visiting ISB embassy a girl was asking for a B1/B2 (Visit) visa to see her husband who has already processed her green card. Even a husband applied green card can take up-to 3 years but still the embassy lady told her that she cannot even apply for the visit visa. The girl was in tears and she literally begged that she came from Karachi and need the visa but the lady said she was lack updated and its not their fault.
Please call embassy because your case is special and if you apply without proper info they will take the fee but your case will still be rejected.
thnx admin .. please tell me how to contact embassy ? and yes .. i am getting some omb control number and expiry date below my case status at uscis . do you know what it is ?

GOD BLESS
Wsalam,
Its most likely you will be refused for the visa because in this age Pakistani men hardly get visa unless their is a very strong reason to visit United States. If you want to try then to maximize your chances to get accepted show them the university letter and any asset you have on your name or do mention that you have family you care about and can’t leave in Pakistan however I wont give you high hopes. You would not need any sponsorship, just mention the details of your cousin as point of contact in USA.
A.o.A
any body know how much time now a days they are taking for visit visa processing and in this time they require any additional documents if yes than what kind of documents usually they require?
Wa Alaikum Salam,
Not sure brother, it depends upon who is applying. Female can get visit visa in less than a week and male can get it in 2 to 10 months or longer as well. Depends what type of security screening they do for you. Documents details are mentioned on the same page. Additional documents are required according to your need for visit, if its business related or any conference meeting event etc you are attending.
Hi,
I am Ali and 34 years old , I am planning to apply for US visit visa without my family. I have 3 members in my family mom, wife and daughter so i can show them my family binding here. I have already visited Dubai & Singapore. If you evaluate my case so how much chances to get USA visit visa. Second how much bank balance I need to show them for my visit. I have good job here and paying tax to my gov. every year and provide the evidence for the same.
Seems good, bank balance depends upon for how many days you would like to stay and will you stay in a hotel or not, if you are staying at a hotel then it would cost around $100 a day. In my opinion anything about $1000 is good if you are staying at family’s place, more the better.
You can contact me at osman.lms@gmail.com, I can guide you the possibilities and tips you can follow to visit USA but only on visit visa.

dear sir i m tennis player i want to champion i want to teach tennis from america. pakistan no special places . can i get visit visa plz rply
If you want to take professional training in Tennis then you would need to first look at the institutes or clubs that offer such trainings, take admission there and on the basis of that apply for the visa. I am not sure about the visa type however it would not be visit visa. On Visit visa you cannot work or study.

Hi, he can apply for visit visa and they would require proof from you and your information to proof him as you fiancee. There are good chances he might get visa however it all depends on how his interview goes. It can never be said for sure how long his visa would take, may be 2 months may be 10.

MY QUESTION IS HOW DO I GO ABOUT HELPING A LOVED ONE INTO THE US FROM PAKISTAN HE IS NOT FAMILY BUT A VERY LOVED ONE CAN SOMEONE TELL ME HOW TO DO THIS AND THE QUICKEST WAY TO DO IT
Dear Kristy,
What you can do is to fill the DS-160 form online on his behalf, pay his visa fee, mention your contact details as his contact and mention that you will bear his expenses by showing your bank statement however he will still have to go to embassy for an interview with the required documents and the decision of providing the visa will depend on his chances to come back to Pakistan.
He can only apply for a visit visa not a permanent or immigrant visa and have to satisfy the visa officer himself that his intentions are just to see a friend not to stay there permanently.
i have apply for visit visa to us in 2008 but not get da visa and the concern lady n us embasy tel my that my apperance r not matched wd my submited documents. As thats my first time to appear, now i want to try again plz guaide me regarding thats query.

You can try again, no problem, however make sure that your picture matches your actual face. Do not repeat the same mistakes for which they rejected you last time and you’ll be fine. Good luck.

If you are applying together you will visit embassy together and you will be interviewed in a group, you can take your bank statement with you and as you will be physically present there stating that you will cover her travel cost I don’t think you would need any other documents for traveling expenses.
Thank you so much for your help!
Hi,
my mother got visa within a week and my father’s passport is at embassy.. how long is it gona take for processing visit visa? on their site it says normal processing is 60 days but it can take almost 90 days but in this forum its like it can take 8 months what for?
Dear Ahmad, the time they guide is 90 days however there is no specific time for visa processing for men, I have told my experiences that my father got visa after 8 months and father in law after 7 months both were more than 60 and had “Muhammad” common in name. I think it might be because of the common name Muhammad as its widely used and can take more time in processing but not sure and cant confirm anything about it. They do not tell the reason of actual delay so we can only judge.
Is this just because of security background or something else?? because 8 months are way too long for visit visa..all the plans are disturbed now..any ways is there a way they tell us about the case status because on the letter they said we are not entitled to response you??
I really wish and hope you get visa on time however I never suggest anyone to make travel arrangement before getting visa as you might incur charges for ticket cancellation etc. They take time for administrative processing, I am not saying it must take 8 months, you can get yours earlier, it depends, lets hope for the best but during that time embassy will not tell you anything which is quite frustrating however I still suggest that send them an email after 90 days and ask them to process it fast.
Dear Admin,
My sister(Nikah)ceremony occur last year on April 2011 with a USA Citizen, he applied for the Green Card/Citizenship in USA for her, in the main while, there relation disturbed over the phone and he role back the process of green card/citizenship and talk goes on Divorce, so he gave her Divorce on Jun 2012, she want reconciliation and settle down the problems, Could she go for visit B2 (visa) to see him for settle down face to face that problem, Is she eligible for applying the immigration. one more thing, Is she could go on visit with any guardian (brother), because she dont have any idea about USA, we donot want to she go alone over there Waiting for your prompt response please.
Dear Amir,
I understand, she can visit United States for any reason e.g. tourism etc. and its not much difficult for women to get visa however if her husband doesn’t want to see her then she cannot mention his contact details on the visa form. She might need to mention the address of a hotel or where she would be staying. Even if you apply together with your sister, you application will be reviewed as separate candidate and the chances of your coming back will be evaluated. Iif you are young man in you twenty’s or thirty’s chances are very low. Women travel alone all the time even from Pakistan now a days and what I feel that this reason might not seem strong enough to the embassy personal.
Thank you for your reply, I need more assistance please,
Could you please explain me, obviously immigration officer will ask why you are going there, so what she would say, what is the main purpose to visit,
first priority will be reconciliation with her husband, 2ndly, correspondence is going through District City council nowadays. 3rdly, she is interested to meet him face to face and settle down whatever misunderstanding created.Is that explanation is acceptable.
How much money to show in bank account, suppose she says, she will stay for 1 or 2 moths, as you explain above $100 per day stay in hotel rent, in that main $1000 for 1 month and $2000 for two month,
If her brother sponsoring her visit how much amount he has to show in this bank account.
if her brother will also going with her then what is minimum bank statement requirement?
If she will stay at hotel, we need to attached temporary booking receipt, online receipt is acceptable.
Normally how long stay is allow visitor. mini days or month, like if we apply for UK as a visitor they give minimum 6month visit visa.
Is she eligible for applying immigration? what is best option applying inside USA, if she on visit visa there or she have to apply from homeland.
Salam,
My mother has visited me in US twice already with my Dad. But the last time they visited, she was not able to return before her entry date expired. She has applied twice after that and was refused each time giving the same reason as over stay. My dad has passed away.
Now my mother is 73 years old and it has been 10 years since her last visit. She wants to visit us one last time. We have heard that once you over stay it is really difficult to get visa the next time. We have also heard that they don’t issue you visa for 10 years. Is this true to your knowledge?
If I know they are going to refuse her again I don’t want her to go over this process again.
What are your thoughts or knowledge about reapplying after an over stay? Please share. Thanks.
Iftikhar.

Dear
I am Asif. I am married in Pakistan and have one 3 year old kid. I am doing textile import export business in Pakistan (a registered company and accounts). I am in search of some business proposals and would like to meet individuals in US regarding my work in Pakistan. Is visit visa right for me? if yes, please guide me how much assets I have to declare statements and documents.
Dear Asif, You can apply for B2 visit visa, its better to have your meeting fixed with one of the company so its easy for the consulate to understand why you need visa. If not do your homework before interview date, take with you the name and contact details of the companies you intend to visit. Also you must have a plan of your visit, how many days in which state or city etc + the if you are intended to stay in hotel and what would be the medium of transportation. You might asked about all these questions.
regarding assets, not sure about the worth Asif as there are no set limits however you should have all legal paperwork of your company, company bank statements etc at the time of interview.

I have good job here and paying tax to gov.im from karachi someone says you must apply from islamabad its good for you also karachi us consulate working what you suggest where from apply my case.thanks
Having international visits (all withing the visa time) are always a plus point. If you are going to London for work related reason, do mention it as they will know you are a professional travel internationally frequently. Universal studios are fun, Its the best place to be while you are in USA. About bank statement there is no hard and fast rule, if you are staying for few days and only seeing universal studio then may be $1000 statement works fine however more the better. I have never been to Karachi consulate so not sure how it is. Previously people had to come to Islamabad for visa applications but from March 1, 2011, Karachi consulate is also providing visa services.
today my interview in karachi us consulate & my visitor visa request reject with 214 B. i don’t know why do u tell me why he reject?i’m working since 2002 with very gud salary regular tax paid n above 1.5 million rupees bank statement i have multiple visa uk & sechengen regularly travel i apply for b2 visitor visa but he reject my visa application.please tell me what u consider?
Dear Sameer, I am sorry to hear that, its sad. I don’t know why they do so but I hardly heard any young male getting a visa for tourism purposes. They get study, work and other work related visas however for tourism they simply reject whoever goes there. MY brother age 24 wanted to visit me and his visa was rejected with the reason that “You don’t have strong ties and you might not come back to Pakistan” although he had sound bank statement, business, parents in Pakistan, property etc but still bro, no one knows why.
now what you suggest can i apply again or apply with my family?or once again 1 more visit to uk then apply once again for us visa what you suggest?
im from Karachi which consulate is best for visitor visa case submit from Pakistan Karachi consulate or Islamabad consulate someone says Islamabad consulate much liberal as compare to Karachi consulate please guide me.thanks
Dear kashif, I am really not sure as I have always been to ISB embassy. What do you mean by liberal?
my husband a judge, he is 56. I am 43, i am also a govt officer in grade 18.we want to visit our family din the US along with our children. they both are studying in professional colleges in Pakistan. daughter is 22 and my son is 20. what documents do i need to attach? do we need a sponsorship letter? and what is our possibility of getting a visit visa? will they consider us as a family or individually?
thank you in advance
Dear Mrs. Khan, your case will be considered as a whole family however its easy to get visa for females however about your son and your husband I am not sure, may be people with govt jobs has advantage but I have no idea about it. I am not associated with consulate and its just my personal opinion.
sir i would asking about somethink maybe u can help me i been to usa i live there foe 12 years i paid text no crimal back ground no crimal ect every thing is clean and i have civilion revords to corverment of usa and i back to pakistan after 12 years is posible i will apply visite visa with my wife now i have good bussiness in pk can i aplay visite visa thanks
Dear Baker. Do you want to apply for tourism? it is possible that you get the visa because previous relationship with United States is always considered. They can easily check you were law abiding citizen and never created any problem in the past.
sir,
i have been invited by a company from US for B1, they have given me the invitation letter which says they will sponsor my hoteling, travelling stuff, a latter about their company’s document which says they do exists. visit will be only for 3 weeks. i am giving consultancy to that company from last two years, my question is what else document is required which i can provide to embassy while at interview, secondly can they pay my american express fee from US ? it will be prove that they are paying for every thing.
Dear Adnan, I am not an attorney nor have any relation with embassy however I think your documents should be fine and it doesn’t matter who pays your american express fee. Your invitation letter should be in company’s letter head with company’s name, address and contact details its important.
Sir,
i had a B2 visa interview on the 25th of july and the interview went pretty well, but i didn’t bring along all the documents which were required so i got a 221g blue slip in which i had to submit the required documents. i have sent those documents through american express and those documents they asked for are completely legit. any idea in how long i will be informed. please help me out here.
Dear Asad, I cannot say anything about it, it might take as little as 1 month or may 2 or 3. If its late than 3 months you can contact embassy or email them to showing your concern but they always take all the time they need before they issue the visa.

Dear Riaz, I don’t want to disappoint you but such degrees are not in demand and to get a work visa from other country you have to have some sort of technical knowledge or exceptional rare knowledge not easily available in United States. You can try online by applying for jobs in below mentioned link

Hi

Hello, My father in usa is ill and is in critical condition, can i apply for Emergency appointment and which application form do i need to fill in for such purpose. hoping for a prompt reply, thank you
Dear Naveed, please follow below mentioned link for details, it depends upon type of illness he have, for supporting documents you will be needing his medical or hospital reports.
http://islamabad.usembassy.gov/pakistan/niv_emergency_appointments.html
Thank you so much for your reply. I have been through the link provided above for emergency appointments but still couldnt find out which Form to fill,I also checked DS-160 application form, but there is no such catagory which specifies my purpose of visit (father’s sickness). One more query, could it be posible to apply visa for my 3 year old kid also since he is totally dependant on me?
No Problem, the forms for visit visa will remain the same, only the reason will be emergency reason and you will try to get emergency appointment following the procedure on the mentioned page. Yes you can apply a visa for your kid, I guess you need to fill a separate forms for him.
Thank you for being so helpful!
My cousin wants to come in usa. she just graduate from high school pakistani high school (10th) grade. She doesn’t want to come on student visa or visit visa. So how should I apply since she is my cousin. How does family visa work? Can I apply for that?
Dear, she can only apply visit visa, there is no other option. Family visa is for immediate family only and work visa is only possible if she has work sponsorship.
Dear admin,
Plz guide me as i m in Pakistan and my uncle who is in United state from last more than 30 years as a US citizen, has asked me to apply for the us visit visa, let me know if he is willing to sponsor me than what documents should i filled and what my uncle need to submit or given to me for the filling the case.
Secondly, does he need to submit some documents directly to Us embassy, let me know the checklist for the complete procedure, in case i m applying for the visit visa with sponsorship of my uncle.
No one can sponsor visit visa of United States, you will have to follow the same process mentioned above, mention your uncle’s address in USA contacts details and if he is paying for your travel expenses you will need a letter and his bank statement otherwise your bank statement.

Dear Admin !
My wife holds American Nationality, she has already filed an immigration petition in USCIS 4 months ago.
But we have not received any update from USCIS.
We are not sure about the exact time period for processing and issuance of immigration visa.
Secondly, my wife is pregnant and expected date of delivery is November,2012.
Kindly tell me following things please:-
1. Should i apply for Visit visa, so that i can be with my family at the time of delivery?
2. If i apply for Visit Visa, would there be problems in my immigration petition?
3. What documents are required in my case?
Dear Rizwan, you can apply for a visit visa however its difficult to convince visa officer that you will come back as he will think that you will get together with your family and will not come back. I hope you get together with your family on time.
Plz.admin! Total process fee for us as a student visa!

hello.my name is asif and i have friend in USA and i want to go to USA .we are going to marry please guide me
You can apply for visit visa and tell her that you want to go and see you fiance, you will have to tell her details and address in the application form. Meeting a fiance is a genuine reason to visit USA so you will have brighter chances to get visa.
thanks admin, please inform me that if i arrive there and get marry with usa national then can i live with her? secondly how much i have chances if i tell in embessy that i have my fiance there and they will ask for any proof ?
Entering with the intention of marrying a US citizen would be a visa fraud and you would never be given a visa if the visa officer suspects that you are intending to do that. Even if you get married with tourist visa in USA you will still have to come back before the duration of your visa and after that your paper work can take place in Pakistan for green card.
Hello,me and my father want to go USA for vocations..i am student and my father is a business man plz tell me about requirements and guide me about documentations.
Dear Suleman,
According to USA embassy website “Applicants are encouraged to bring documents they believe will demonstrate compelling reasons to depart the United States and an intention to abide by the terms of the visa.” you can have the details of your father business, property and your school enrollment certificate to prove that you will come back.

Greetings,
I am a full time church Pastor and I want to join a Church Conference in USA.I have already Invitation letter from host church.Kindly let me know which documents are required for applying the visit visa?
Sorry for delayed response, all the above mentioned documents along with the invitation letter should be sufficient.
Hello sir i am a pakistani citizen .and my girl friend is in USA .we had met on an online marriage site since a year ago … now she wants to visit of pakistan .thats why i sent her a sponsor letter and all other documents which the chicago consulate are required .its been one month and they didnt approve her visa yet whuile she already bought a roundtrip ticket ..what should we do now any kind suggestion ll be appriciated .thank you very much .
What I get from your comment that She is an American (Have American parents not Pakistani because if she has Pakistani Parents then she can easily have a NICOP which will allow her visa free entry in Pakistan). If she is an American and have applied for Pakistani visa in Pakistani Embassy Chicago then it would take 2 – 5 business days after her visa is approved. How long would it take, no one tells that is why it is never advised to purchase an air ticket before the visa is stamped in your passport. No embassy would recommend it. So now when you already are in a situation, the best thing you can do is to write or call the embassy and request them to issue the visa before the intended date of travel and pray that her visa is stamped before traveling.
in visit visa how much i need bank statement????please tell me i want visit to USA
The more the better
I think at-least more than $1000. If you will stay at hotel then you must show more however if you are staying at relative’s then less amount. Also look at the below mentioned post for more info
http://www.pakistaniinusa.com/expenses-for-applying-for-a-visa/
i have no bank account but i save money in my home so what should i do for visit visa???
You must have a bank statement because without one they can’t verify if you have money to afford a trip or not. It should be the first stop to get one, get it ASAP.

sir,
thanks for your response ,i have no privious travel history , how much chance of visa, and what types of dacument take in interview .if you have some tips of interview plz share.
Dear Amir, previous travel history doesn’t matter because the US embassy make sure on their own if the person is eligible for the visa. They make sure that the person will go back to his country and they have strict criteria. Regarding Tips follow below mentioned link
http://www.pakistaniinusa.com/tips-for-applying-united-state-visit-visa-from-pakistan/
Assalam Alaikum Sir!
I have some Queries . I went Europe for my Mphil but for personal reasons I had to come back and could`’t continue my studies. I am doing Mphil from Pakistan now. and I want to do thesis in USA on multi culturalism .. Is it possible or any way ? My husband is in Germany and here my son is with me . I want to take my son with me for some time uless my thesis would be compiled.
Waiting for Kind n Quick response.
Wa Alaikum Salam Miss,
First of all for thesis or study purpose are you applying for visit visa? for how long you would be needing one and would you be joining any institute for study? You can take your son with you whether you are going on visit visa or study visa however if the father is not going with you both then a consent letter from his side might be needed that mention that he gives permission to his son to go with the mother.
Thank You!it might be needed to join any institute … then visa category would be changed …. right ?
Yes, if any institute would invite you to do your thesis there then they might give you a document I-20 on the basis of which you will apply for a visa for the duration mentioned in I-20 document. In such cases students get F-1 visa.
sir,
thanks for your response, please solve my others queres
(1) my wife is also go with me for visit to USA, she runs a private school, can i submitte his income and busniss also in form, and she also show the bank statement.
Yes Amir, you can submit her bank details as well, you two are family and going together that is why her bank statement can be used too. If in case she is not accompanying you to visa interview then you can have her consent signed letter of permission for using her bank statement along with her bank statements.
dear respected sir my wife is american citizen and we got marry in pakistan in 2008,she went back and she applied case from usa but due to her low income they demand joint sponsor my wife mostly lives sick and now four years had passed our marriege but i did not go in usa,what should i do?plz guide me i want to go jst to see my wife can i apply for visit visa even our case has cancled from embassy.
Dear Mr. Rafi, If your case have rejected then there are chances that they will reject your visa to considering that you might not come back to Pakistan because your wife is already there. If her sickness is of emergency nature or she cannot travel due to her sickness then there are chances you might get visit visa however you will need proofs of her sickness from hospital confirming that she cannot travel or if the case is of emergency nature you can apply for emergency visit visa for medical reason but still proof is required.
respected sir the embassy cancled my case bcoz my wife cannot provide them joint sponsor,i show hm my bank statement but they did not accept it.then my frend who lived in usa he provided joint sponsor but they did not even accept it,the embassy told me ur mrs should search an other sponsor but i think my wife cannot .sir tell me easy solution of my case/
Dear Rafi Sab. the yearly income your have to show is a very small around €20,000 a year if I am correct (125% of the poverty line income). If your wife is living there how is she funding herself because even for the lowest paying jobs a person can earn this much. Unfortunately there isn’t another way, either your wife would need to earn this much money a year or you must find a sponsor. For visit visa chances are very considering your application has already been rejected.
hi sir hope u doing well,thanks alot for throwing such useful info in prior.
sir I’ve a friend over there in USA Wisconsin ,she is around 50 years of old,she isn’t a foreginer one,like some who went to USA and have started life from long time ,so now she gonna send me invitation just to visit her.
so sir what u would like to suggest me in order to get this visting visa?
take care sir.
You are welcome, you will follow the same procedure mention on this page for visit visa. Friends / families can’t sponsor USA visa so there will be no change in visit visa process except that you will mention her address and contact details in the visa form.

hi……
sir i m in united states last 3 n half yrs ago i have a greencard…
my friend wants to come in united states only for visit…
can i apply my friend visit visa??// and whats the procedure?? let me know plz plz….
The person who intend to visit you would have to apply for the visa, he will follow the same process. More details are available on this page
http://www.pakistaniinusa.com/can-me-relatives-in-united-states-sponsor-me-a-visit-visa/
Heyy, Im 15 years old, and my father’s in US and i intend to visit him. So cam i apply for the visa? Do i have chances to get the visa?
Thanks.
Yes, you can visit however if your father is a national he can sponsor you a permanent visa because you are considered a minor. You will also have to see how minors travel alone.
No, he is not a National :/ So are there any chances? If i don’t mention him, there’s my uncle who’s national. So what would be the procedure? Requirements?
Thanks.
No your uncle will not make any difference. You must mention your father otherwise it would be considered very negative and meeting your father is a more genuine reason than meeting your uncle. You will follow the same process as mentioned above but as you are a minor you can take your mother or guardian with you on interview day.
AOA,my Question is that my wife’s Aunt lives in USA & she is us citizen can i mention her address in usa form although we will bare our expenditures ourselves and we will send a hotel form for letting them know in which hotel we’re staying….kindly please let me know any other advice.
If you want to mention her address, take her consent first and mention it. Also do not mention it in your interview that you will stay at hotel. Why don’t you mention hotel address if you are staying in one? it doesn’t make any difference where you stay.

Emailed before to the commenter: Posting here for everyone’s benefit:
The procedure for applying for a visit visa is same for everyone, no exceptions. If you are going for special reason only then you need documents as evidence. Read the below mentioned posts for detailed information on visit visa for United States
http://www.pakistaniinusa.com/can-me-relatives-in-united-states-sponsor-me-a-visit-visa/
http://www.pakistaniinusa.com/tips-for-applying-united-state-visit-visa-from-pakistan/
For United Kingdom Visa:
You didn’t mention for which visa you will apply, 6 months, 2 years, 5 years etc because U.K. visa get stamped early and your visa start date will be the day your visa is stamped means if you apply for UK visa today and they grant you a visa in 10 days it will start from the day they stamp it and it will expire in 6 months if you have applied for 6 months visa. If after getting UK visa you apply for USA visa it can take 3 to 8 months and when all of your’s families passport comes back the UK visa will already be expired so its better to get USA visa first specially for your husband because there is almost always delays in male visa processing etc
Dear Sir,
I’ve been working for Federal Government of Pakistan for the last 7 years. I intend to visit US (B-2 Category) to meet some close friends. I need to know if I’d have to submit my Ex-Pakistan Leave (order) along with my application or simply a Service Certificate issued by my employer (Govt of Pak) would be sufficient initially?
Kind regards,
Raza
Getting a leave letter from your employer is always better. It shows the exact duration of time you are taking off from your office and that you will have to join afterwards.
Dear admin
my sister live in amrica and i want to go and stay whith her so what can i do to get usa visa ..
thank
What do you mean by stay? you want to visit her on visit visa? you will follow the same process as above
Hello Sir,
Me and my 3 kids have USA visit visa for five years. We visited USA last year . At that time my husband was serving at Haitti for his official duly because he is in Fedral job. He applied for USA visa from Haitti just to join us there his visa was accepted but they called him for issuing visa when he came back to Pakistan because his job contract at Haitti was finished. During his stay at Haitti he visited Domanican Republic as well. Now the situation is we both have UK visa for 6 months and we want to visit UK and USA in the coming vocations but my husband is not having USA visa. Everyone is saying that we should visit UK first then my husband should apply fir USA visa. But our plan is to visit both countries in one trip because UK is just half of USA. I want a sugestion from you either my husband should go for USA visit visa or he should first visit UK and then apply for US. and also plz tell me how r the chances of getting US visa for my husband .
kindly reply me soon
thank you
Dear Sana,
In my suggestion your husband should apply for a USA visa first. In my point of view it doesn’t make any difference if he visit UK first. If US embassy were to reject his visa they will reject it even if he has visited UK. He already has UK visa means he can enter UK which is enough at this time. My only concern is that if you apply for US visa from Pakistan it sometimes takes around 6 months to process (Male members) and during that time your UK visa will get expired.

Dear Zyra, You will apply in ISB office, I don’t understand what you are asking. The address is only mentioned where you are asked for the address where you will stay in USA other than that USA address is not asked. You will apply in Isb office if you are in Pakistan.
Zyra. i think u r talking about the main page of online application form where u need to select the location first then to proceed. u have to select pakistan, islamabad coz its the country from where u r going to apply for a US visa. Hope answer the question.
Thankyou admin.
Thankyou Maaz, Could you please post me the link? I’d appreciate your help …
Hi, i need to know whether sponsorship is required by any means for a visit visa to USA, or its just a plus point for ur application or whether it is not recommended for applying at all…. ? my uncle is in USA, my aunt is american citizen, so do my uncle is. my aunt is american born(catholic). i m getting sponsor from both of them. I am going to get annual leaves from my company and im wishing to visit my uncle. i have been to UK once just for recreation purpose for 22 days, so need to ask admin whether i have chances for getting visa. im doing a job since 2012 april. just got my contract renewed form my company. im 25 years old.
Hello Maaz,
Visit visa is not sponsored. You just need to provide your uncle’s address and it doesn’t matter what he do and is etc. It depends upon what you do and your chances of coming back to Pakistan. If you have a good job and your company can issue you a letter that you are going on a holiday and a permanent employee in their company then chances are bright.
hi admin,i m 32 years old merried man who have 2 kids. i have a very nice friend in US,she want to meet me in US.so i want to know how i can get vizit viza just for my self?

Students doesn’t apply for visit visa for studies unless its just a short course offered in some institute, for masters you will need an I-20 document from university on the basis of which you will apply for F1 student visa.

Hello
Can any1 tell me if he/she is a canadian student and applied for USA visit visa.Does it effect the normal processing timings?
If you are female visa’s are normally processed within a week, I have no experience but I think it should not effect the normal processing time.

Hi. My husband has a green card and settled in states for last 8 years. He is waiting for his citizenship next year. He visited me couple of times in this year. He can take 20 business days paid vacations from his company. Now I am trying to visit him and want to apply a visit visa. Can you advise how this will work. In visit visa form they ask for spouse details and current profession. I don’t want to lie about any information. My husband sent me his current job letter, tax papers, green card copy, bank statements etc. What else should I need to make my case more strong. I am living with my husband parents. Thanks in advance. Regards. Sidra.
Salam Sidra,
I am really sorry to say this but if your husband is on green card things may get very complicated. Your spousal visa can take up-to 3 years to process and if you’ll apply for a visit visa it will most probably be rejected because the embassy will assume that you will not come back. When your husband will get his citizenship you will get a spousal visa immediately but on green card its difficult. If your husband was only on work visa even then you could join him immediately but the process in case of green card is very very slow and he should have explained it to you and your family before getting married.
Hi it has been about 8 months for my wife’s interview and her visa is still under administrating processing could you please advise? I’m very worried and it is difficult to live apart from your significant other.
Thanks
What type of visa she has applied for?

hi
i want to see my fiance in USA and we are planning to get married too.but i didn’t see her personally before.
is there any way that i go there and get marry and stay there as well.
so which type of visa i should apply for? fiance or visit?
she is a USA resident.
please help me in.
thank you
Dear Arib, you can apply for a visit visa to meet your fiance (I am not sure if there are any Fiance visas?) however if you get married there and doesn’t come back it would be considered as a visa fraud. Even if you get married there you will have to come back and your spouse will apply for a permanent visa for you from United States that will be granted after complete paper work and proof of income that she can support you.
Dear,
I’ve applied a B1/B2 visa along with my wife & been interviewed on 04 December 2012 & waiting for our passports. I’m a business person & my wife is a teacher. I’m a frequent traveler as I travelled Australia, UK, South Africa, Oman, Singapore, Swaziland in last ten years.
My Question is when I check the visa status on US embassy website it says ISSUED under my wife’s visa application & ADMINESTRATIVE PROCESSING under my visa application. How long we have to wait for our passports back or what is the maximum time of it or is it the delay because of clearence as its been over 7 months now?
Salam, No one can tell for sure how much time it take for visa processing, usually people with common names like Muhammad, Khan etc experience delays in their visa processing, my father and father in law both are over 60 still their visa processing took 7 and 8 months.
AoA,
I would like my parents and my younger sister to visit for month or so. I am on H1B. I am providing them affidavit of support. My father is retired and mother housemaker. I have a couple questions.
1) Should my father show any docs of his own bank account, he does gets pension. Btw, I have sufficient funds to show for all 3 with my bank.
2) They own the house as well, what document/s can give more evidence of their connection back in country if any you think?
3) most important is about my sister. She is studying/unmarried 23 and will graduate from MPhil in June next year. Now she will be getting a semester break for one month possibly in jan 2014. Would it be ok if they tell that a reason for all of them to visit during that time? Given she can show academic transcripts so far.
Would it be ok if all 3 apply together?
Thanks
Dear yasir,
you should give your bank statement + your father must bring his bank statement as well even if you are supporting his visit. He should take the original property papers with him but they hardly take a look at it, but still he should have it at that time.
They should all apply together, parents visas are very easy but your sister must attach her school letter that she is taking a break also a letter mentioning that she is a full time student and taking a break from university and will continue once she come back.
Its best to tell them you have selected the time due to her studies.
Apply at least 6 months in advance as your father visa might take more time in administration processing. Women visas are usually issued within days.
hi
im doing BBA and only last 2 semesters are left.my uncle in a permanent U.S resident and he owns hospital there.i want to go there and work and i also want to do my MBA from USA. i want to do MBA on my expenses. im confused which thing to do first, is there any way that he can sponsor me to go there and work in his hospital as a manager or may be as an accountant as he told me that he needs an accountant there.please admin guide me regarding this matter how can i apply and which thing should i do first.
regards.
Dear Urooj,
I am not sure if he can sponsor you the visa for this job because the visa sponsorship is for special category jobs where the talent is usually not available in USA. If you uncle think he can sponsor you work visa, he might have a way. Regarding education, its very expensive and as an international student you will have to pay full fees which cost more than $10,000 per year. If you have accommodation its good, but if not its too costly too so its better to get a job first to save money for the tution fee unless you have family who can sponsor your fee.
Dear Admin

1.By your experience and knowledge, roughly what amount in PKR should one have in his account while applying for a US visit visa?
2.If you have accounts in more than one bank, is it advisable to attach statements of both for supporting your case?
Dear Ahmad,
1. It depends how many days you are planning to stay in United States? roughly 10,000 for one day if you are staying in a hotel, 5000 a day if you are telling them that a relative is providing you a place to stay.
2. Yes, take all statements in all bank accounts.
Admin,thanks for your response. However, I do not see any check list of documents required to be provided as supporting material to strengthen your case. No mentioning of a sposnorship letter from the person inviting you for visit, his Taxation/Identification Number, his Passport copy, your bank statement(s), a bonafide letter from your employer, so on and forth..why is this so? aren’t they documents required? I remember being asked (indirectly) for all while applying for visit visa of other countrires
Dear Ahmed, Thanks for your input. I have modified the page with the list of documents for specific reasons. As far I know you don’t need the passport copy of the person you are visiting neither his tax number for the visit visa. Such documents are needed if they are sponsoring you a visa which is mostly an immigrant visa.
For other countries like UK its different because a family member can sponsor a visa so they have to provide a sponsorship letter along with their visa and passport details but in United States a family member can’t sponsor a family visit visa. It is treated as a tourist visa only with different reason.
Thanks Admin for the response. Please correct me if I am wrong, but checklist of supporting documents mentioned at http://www.pakistaniinusa.com/documents-for-united-state-visit-visa-for-family-visit/ are ONLY to be taken as a proactive step during the interview and not to be submitted with the application at Speedex, right?
Yes, you should take these documents on interview day. I have updated the page a bit more to explain this. Please refer to the family visit visa documents page and if you have any further question please feel free to comment on that page. Thanks

dear sir i buy two homes in USA.now i wants to go there to open an bank account for the rent.how can i get visa for vist and there is chance of visa for me
yes there is always a chance however if you are going for a business point of view you must have a very good bank statement that shows that you can buy two homes in United States. You can mention your intention on visa letter and apply.
Dear Admin,
I am looking forward to visit US with my wife and kid for 10-15 days to visit my sister and meet friends. I will be going to book hotel and flight in advance before interview. I am working in a multinational company originally based in US, i will take letter from company to prove my job ties here in pakistan. I have no property to show and not a considerable amount to show in bank for visa purpose. Can you guide me about how much amount should i have in account before interview? and any other precautionary to take !
Dear Mohsin, if you are staying at hotel it depends where to get a hotel because charges differ drastically in different cities and states. If your sister can accommodate you at her place then you will need to show less money other wise hotel rent + $50/day is good otherwise add $100/day for hotel in big city or $60/day for hotel in smaller city + $50/day for expenditure etc at the minimum. For a 15 days tour I wouldn’t show a statement less than $2000 but its up to you there is no hard and fast rule in this.
DEAR ADMIN
I HAVE VISITED USA 2 TIME WHEN I WAS 16 AND 18 YEAR OLD NOW MY AGE IS 20 YEAR OLD CAN I GET A VISA EASILY I DONT HAVE A SPONSER BUT MY 2 AUNTIES LIVE IN USA

haris kahan
Dear Haris, US embassy don’t fast process the visas except if its an emergency like death of relative etc. If you don’t have much time its better not to apply for a US visa as you must apply at-least 3 months in advance.

from haris khan
Dear Haris – No one can tell you the processing time but if you have Khan in your name, it is presumed that your visa processing can take months, but again no one can tell you for sure.
