B-2
Explore, Visit, and Reunite—Your Path to Short-Term U.S. Travel
The B-2 visa is designed for individuals who wish to visit the United States temporarily for tourism, family visits, medical treatment, or other non-business purposes. While it may seem straightforward, the application process requires strong documentation to show your intent to return home after your visit. At aiLegal, we help you prepare a clear, well-documented application that maximizes your chances of approval.
