What is the B1/B2 Visa?

The B-1/B-2 visa is a visitor visa for foreign nationals who wish to travel to the U.S on a short-term basis for business (B-1) or pleasure or medical treatment (B-2). These visas are often combined as the B-1/B-2 visa.

B-1 Visa

The B-1 visa is usually issued to applicants who are conducting or negotiating business with U.S business associates, or are attending business, professional, educational or scientific conferences in the United States.

B-2 Visa

This is the most common type of visa for those travelling to the U.S for tourism purposes, or to visit friends and family. This visa is also available for those who are travelling abroad for medical treatment, or who wish to volunteer for an organisation.

How Much is the B-1/B-2 Visa?

The new fee for the B-1/B-2 non immigrant visas is $185 USD per applicant. This is around ₦ 349166.36 (check latest exchange rate)

The visa fee is non-refundable, even if your application is refused. This fee does not include other additional fees, such as cost of travel to your interview, obtaining or translating essential documents for the application process, or any legal support that you may require.

Some applicants are required to submit proof of funds for being able to support yourself financially during your trip. Usually, a minimum amount is expected to be shown in the form of a bank statement.
