How to apply for United State visit visa from Pakistan

Posted on December 21, 2010August 19, 2015 by Admin

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 visit reason:

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.

  • United State visit visa for family visit
  • United State visit visa for Business Tour

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.

        You need strong bank statement or stable job that would show your ties to Pakistan. Agar app Pakistan main apni ties strong show kar saktay hain tab visa lag sakta hia.

        Good evening. Its their decision, if they suspect that you won’t come back of breach the visa condition in any way they won’t grant visa and its not easy to get visa of any western country on Pakistani passport.

        $160 visa fee. Interview to and from embassy. Your conference registration fee. Check conference website for that. Ticket to USA. Hotel or accommodation charges. You can check ticket prices at expedia.com it can be around 1 lac rupee. If you do not have passport, you can apply for one and you can confirm Nadra website for fee.

        Salam,

        App log apni ami k sath visit visa apply kar saktay hain. App log akathey interview denay ja saktay hain. Agar job hai apna job letter ya agar student hain to university se holidays ki permission ka letter le jaiye ga. App log akathey ja rahay hain to phir wo critically dekahina gay k wapas anay ki koi reason ho. Apki country se ties dekhain gay. App logo ki age ya single honay ki waja se visa reject ho sakta hia.

      I had applied the visa of USA with my mother she is 73+ and my daughter she 16. On 18th november when we went to the embassy the visa officer asked some questions from me and my daughter and then he camed to my mother, she didn’t answered some questions rightly because her memory is weak she said “i am going to visit my daughter in USA” but actually in USA was her sister to which we where going to visit, because of this our visa was rejected. Now i need to know that can i apply a new visa with my husband and kids? Just for winter holidays to see new year & chirstmas celebrations in USA or i should apply only with my husband that we both want to visit USA? In which these two situations there are chances to get visa and on which date should i go again? Please let me know. Thank you

      I am a residant of Pakistan and a medical doc n got visa approved lwice before. Once in 2006 and then in 2011. Now after expiry , applying for third time. Interview is on 21st December. Doing job in Govt sector and doing own clinic in evening. Have visited US only thrice in last 10 years, and every time for less tha a month. Have siblings in US, one is citizen and one GC holder. Previously wrote that “Other Person” sponsoring trip and when was asked that its about staying n lodging/dining as both have their own residences there. I have only to buy ticket, and VO accepted that. Secondly in past too, I mention actual salary of what I get from “Govt Department” which is NOT above Rs 50K and when was asked that its just salary, otherwise,I earn much high from own practice and was accepted too, so both times visa approved. My query is this time too, in ds-160 I have entered the same replies, Though got I-134 affidavit and have all the documents in hand to show what I do n own.
      I am 42 yo male, married have family,kids in Pakistan NOT applying/going with me. Just got skeptic, that whether should I have written replies of above two questions this way.? Did so as I did it in past too. Doing own practice for last 17 yrs here, have visited 10-12 countries including US, UK , Denmark,Norway, France, Thailand, in past and many times.
      How much chances to get B1/B2 visa again.?
      Regards.
