The B-1/B-2 is a combined visitor visa that allows temporary travel to the U.S. for both permitted business activities (B-1) and tourism/family visit/medical purposes (B-2). Many applicants choose this option if their travel needs may include both types of visits over time.
Who this visa is for
This route may suit you if you:
- Sometimes travel for business meetings and also for tourism
- Want flexibility for different short visit purposes (within visitor rules)
What your application should show
Your application should clearly explain:
- Your primary purpose for the upcoming trip
- Your background and ties to your home country
- Your funding plan and trip timeline
- Any invitations, event confirmations, or visit plans (where applicable)
Typical supporting documents
Most applicants combine evidence from both categories, such as:
- Employer/business documents + invitation letters (business purpose)
- Tourism/family visit plan + host details (if visiting)
- Funding evidence (bank statements / sponsor support)
- Clear itinerary and return plans
How we support you
We help you present your travel purpose clearly (without confusion), organise both business and tourism evidence in the right order, and reduce refusal risks caused by unclear intent or weak documentation.
