Documents to prepare

Common reasons for refusal

- Valid passport and DS-160 confirmation

Most B1/B2 refusals are under section 214(b), when the officer is not satisfied that you will return to Pakistan. Weak ties, unclear travel purpose, or finances that don't match your profile are common issues. Honest, consistent answers matter more than the number of documents.

- Fee receipt and appointment letter

- Proof of strong ties to Pakistan: employment letter, business registration, property, family

- Bank statements and tax returns showing you can pay for the trip

- Travel plan, invitation letter if visiting family, and previous travel history

Yes. There is no waiting period, but you should reapply only when your circumstances or the way you present them have genuinely changed.

How long can I stay in the US?

Do you guarantee approval?

The officer at the port of entry decides your permitted stay, often up to 6 months for visitors.

No one can guarantee a visa. We help you present an honest, well-prepared application.
