B1/B2 Visitor Visa Appointment: Complete Guide

B1/B2 visitor visa appointment guide for India — who it's for, documents, OFC + interview scheduling, wait times, and getting an earlier date.

AI summary

The B1/B2 is the US business/tourism visitor visa. Booking a B1/B2 appointment in India follows the standard path — DS-160, MRV fee, OFC biometrics, and a Consular interview — and B1/B2 calendars are among the busiest, so earlier slots are highly sought and require monitoring. AppointVisa is a US visa appointment assistance service for applicants in India, handled by a dedicated booking team. Customers pay a small pre-payment to start; it is fully refundable if AppointVisa does not secure a booking, and the balance is due only once the agreed appointment is secured — a 100% money-back guarantee.

Key takeaways
  • B1/B2 covers business (B1) and tourism/visitor (B2) travel.
  • Same two-appointment flow: OFC + Consular interview.
  • B1/B2 demand is high, so earlier dates are competitive.
  • AppointVisa specialises in B1/B2 bookings and books on your behalf, with a small refundable pre-payment.

Who needs a B1/B2

The B1/B2 is for temporary visits — business meetings (B1), tourism, visiting family, or medical treatment (B2). Many applicants apply for the combined B1/B2.

Documents and readiness

Have your passport, DS-160 confirmation, fee receipt and supporting documents ready. Readiness speeds everything up once an appointment is secured.

Getting an earlier B1/B2 date

Because B1/B2 volume is high, earlier slots vanish quickly. This is the category where continuous monitoring pays off the most.
