Frequently Asked Questions

What is B1/B2 visa?

B-1/B-2 visa is a nonimmigrant visa to enter the United States for a combination of purposes, B-1 visa for business and B-2 visa for tourism.

What is the validity period of a US B-1/B-2 visa?

The validity of a US B-1/B-2 visa is determined by your passport’s country of issuance. For many nationalities, the visa can be valid for up to 10 years with multiple entries. This means you can visit the United States several times within that period, usually for stays of up to 6 months per trip. If you hold a passport from another country while applying in Dubai or Abu Dhabi, your visa validity will follow the US visa reciprocity agreement for your nationality, which may be shorter.

Is there a difference between applying for a US tourist visa and a business visa from UAE?

Settling an estate
Negotiating a contract

B-2 (Tourist Visa) is for:

Tourism or vacation
Visiting friends or relatives
Medical treatment
Attending social events hosted by fraternal, social, or service organisations
Amateur participation in cultural or sports events (unpaid)
Short recreational courses (non-credit, e.g., cooking class)

My US visitor visa (B-1/B-2) expires after my intended date of arrival in the United States. Do I need a new visa before departure?

You can enter the US up to the last date of validity printed on your visa. The Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer at entry decides how long you may stay. Your visa may expire while you are in the US, just do not overstay the period granted by CBP.

My US visa will expire in the next 6 months. Can I apply for a new visa in advance?

You do not need to wait until your current visa expires. You can apply for a new visa at any time, even if your current visa is still valid.

What should I do if my US visa application from UAE is refused?

You may reapply in the future. Submit a new visa application and pay the visa fee again (except for 221(g) refusals). If refused under section 214(b) of the INA, provide evidence of significant changes in circumstances since your last application (e.g., stronger ties to your home country, financial changes, new travel purpose).

Is my US visa still valid if my passport has expired?

Yes, a valid U.S. visa in an expired passport is still valid. Unless canceled or revoked, a visa remains valid until its expiration date. You may use your valid visa in your expired passport along with a new valid passport for travel to the United States.
