The B-1/B-2 visa is a vital tool for individuals planning temporary visits to the United States, whether for business (B-1) or pleasure and tourism (B-2). At Adam Bernard Attorneys, we specialize in guiding clients through the intricate process of obtaining these nonimmigrant visas, ensuring a smooth and successful application experience.
Understanding the B-1/B-2 Visa
The B-1 visa is designed for individuals traveling to the United States for business-related purposes, such as attending conferences, negotiating contracts, or conducting market research. On the other hand, the B-2 visa caters to those visiting the U.S. for tourism, leisure, or family visits. This visa category also encompasses a variety of additional activities, including:
Who Needs a B-2 Visa?
Most foreign nationals planning a temporary visit to the United States will require a B-2 visa unless they are eligible for entry under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) or are citizens of Canada or Bermuda. Additionally, if your application for travel authorization under the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) has been denied, you must obtain a B-2 visa to enter the U.S.
Where to Apply: U.K. Residents
For residents of the United Kingdom, B-1/B-2 visa applications are processed at the U.S. Embassy in London or the Consulate General in Belfast. Regardless of your nationality or immigration status in the U.K., you can choose to apply at either location.
If you are eligible to apply for a visa by courier, our team will ensure that your application is directed to the correct location based on your residence.
