Overview
About the USA Visa
A US B1/B2 visitor visa is the most common non-immigrant visa for tourism and business visits to the United States. The process involves completing the DS-160 online form, paying the MRV fee, and attending an in-person interview at the US Consulate or Embassy. Big Bird Travel assists UAE-based applicants with DS-160 completion, document preparation, and interview guidance. The interview decision is made by the US Consulate officer.
Who Can Apply
- UAE residents visiting the USA for tourism, family visits, or leisure
- Business travellers attending meetings, conferences, or trade events
- Applicants who are not US citizens and not eligible for ESTA/Visa Waiver Program
- Visa renewal applicants with an expired or soon-expiring B1/B2 visa
Processing Time
US visa processing time is largely determined by interview slot availability at the US Consulate in Abu Dhabi or Dubai. We recommend monitoring the appointment system and applying as early as possible, especially for summer or end-of-year travel.
