Secure Your B-1/B-2 Visitor Visa with Ease

Your Path to U.S. Travel Starts Here

Welcome to the Law Offices of Chris M. Ingram’s B-1/B-2 Visitor Visa video! We’re thrilled to guide you through obtaining a B-1 (business) or B-2 (tourism/medical) visa for temporary U.S. entry. Let’s boost your approval chances!

Visa Waiver Program vs. B-1/B-2 Visa

From a Visa Waiver Program (VWP) country? Travel visa-free for 90 days with ESTA registration—check the VWP website for eligible countries. Not VWP-eligible? Securing a B-1/B-2 visa is challenging due to Section 214(b) INA, requiring proof of intent to return, financial stability, and legitimate travel purposes. Our experienced attorneys craft compelling cases to overcome these hurdles.

Length of Stay

B-1/B-2 visas are issued for 1, 3, 5, or 10 years, with each U.S. visit capped at six months. Entry officers typically grant six months but may reduce it based on your case. We strategize to present your case effectively to maximize your stay.

Why B-1/B-2 Visas Are Tough

Section 214(b) presumes applicants intend to stay permanently, especially from high-risk countries (e.g., India, Pakistan). You must prove intent to return, financial independence, and valid travel purposes. Many applications fail without thorough DS-160 preparation and documentation. Our team ensures your case addresses these concerns.

Gateway to Opportunities

A B-1/B-2 visa allows applying for other visas (e.g., H-1B, O-1, or EB-1/EB-2/EB-3/EB-5 Green Cards) without returning to the consulate, making consular scrutiny intense. We build robust cases to boost approval odds.

VWP Travelers: Proceed with Caution

From a VWP country? Consult us before applying for a B-1/B-2, as a denial could terminate your ESTA privileges, blocking U.S. travel. Our expertise prevents costly mistakes.
