US: Apply for travel visa through embassy or consulate.

To apply for a United States travel visa, also known as a B-2 visa (Visitor Visa), follow these steps:

1. Determine Eligibility: Determine if you are eligible for a B-2 visitor visa. B-2 visas are typically issued for tourism, visiting family or friends, medical treatment, or participating in social events or activities.

2. Complete the DS-160 Form: Visit the U.S. Department of State's Consular Electronic Application Center (CEAC) website and complete the DS-160 Online Nonimmigrant Visa Application form. Provide accurate and complete information about your personal details, travel plans, and background.

3. Pay the Visa Application Fee: Pay the non-refundable visa application fee (MRV fee) as required. The fee amount may vary depending on the country from which you are applying and the visa type.

4. Schedule Visa Interview: After completing the DS-160 form and paying the visa application fee, schedule a visa interview appointment at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in your country. Visa interview appointments are typically scheduled through the embassy or consulate's website or designated visa application center.

5. Gather Required Documents: Gather the necessary documents for your visa interview, which may include:

o Valid passport

o DS-160 confirmation page

o Visa application fee receipt

o Passport-sized photograph meeting specific requirements

o Proof of funds to cover travel expenses and stay in the U.S.

o Travel itinerary and/or flight reservations

o Evidence of ties to your home country (e.g., employment, property ownership, family ties) to demonstrate your intent to return after your visit to the U.S.

6. Attend Visa Interview: Attend your scheduled visa interview at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate. Be prepared to present your documents, answer questions about your travel plans, purpose of visit, ties to your home country, and other relevant information.

7. Submit Biometric Information: Depending on the country from which you are applying, you may be required to provide biometric information (fingerprints and photograph) at the visa interview appointment or a designated Visa Application Center (VAC).

8. Wait for Visa Decision: After the visa interview, wait for a decision on your visa application. If approved, you will receive your passport with the visa stamp allowing travel to the United States.

9. Understand Visa Conditions: Review the conditions of your B-2 visa, including the duration of stay allowed, entry and exit dates, and any other restrictions or conditions specified.

It's important to note that the visa application process and requirements may vary slightly depending on your country of residence and the specific procedures of the U.S. Embassy or Consulate where you apply. Always refer to the official U.S. Department of State website or contact the relevant embassy or consulate for the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding visa applications.
