Tourist/ Visitor visa

The U.S. tourist visa, officially known as the B-2 visa, is a non-immigrant visa that allows foreign nationals to enter the United States temporarily for tourism or pleasure. The B-2 visa is designed for individuals who wish to visit the U.S. for reasons such as tourism, vacation, visiting family or friends, medical treatment, or participation in social events.

Key Features of the U.S. Tourist Visa (B-2):

• Tourism and Leisure: The primary purpose of the B-2 visa is for tourism and recreational activities. This may include sightseeing, visiting national parks, attending cultural events, or simply enjoying a vacation.

• Family and Friends: B-2 visa holders can visit family members or friends in the U.S. It's important to note that the B-2 visa does not permit employment, study, or participation in business activities.

• Medical Treatment: Individuals seeking medical treatment in the U.S. can apply for a B-2 visa. They should provide documentation related to their medical condition and treatment plan.

• Duration of Stay: The initial period of stay allowed on a B-2 visa is determined by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer at the port of entry. Typically, B-2 visitors are admitted for up to six months. Extensions may be possible in certain cases.

• Multiple Entries: The B-2 visa is usually issued as a multiple-entry visa, allowing the holder to enter and exit the U.S. multiple times within the validity period of the visa.

• No Employment: B-2 visa holders are not allowed to work in the U.S. Employment, whether paid or unpaid, is strictly prohibited.
