Which are the B1 B2 visa renewal requirements?
Requirements
The requirements for B1/B2 visa renewal are similar to those of the initial application. You must provide proof of your identity, such as a passport or other government-issued ID, as well as evidence of your financial stability. Additionally, you must provide proof that you have a valid reason for traveling to the United States, such as business or pleasure.
You must also provide evidence that you have not violated any U.S. immigration laws in the past and that you do not pose a threat to national security. This includes providing information on any criminal convictions or arrests, as well as any previous applications for visas or other immigration benefits.
Application Process
The application process for B1/B2 visa renewal is relatively straightforward. First, you must complete an online application form and submit it along with all required documents and fees. Once your application has been reviewed and approved by the U.S. Department of State, you will receive an approval letter in the mail.
Once you have received your approval letter, you must then apply for an USA ESTA. This is an electronic travel authorization that allows you to enter the United States without having to obtain a physical visa stamp in your passport.
Fees
The fee for B1/B2 visa renewal is $160 USD per person (plus any applicable processing fees). This fee must be paid at the time of application and is non-refundable.
In addition to the application fee, there may also be additional fees associated with obtaining an ESTA or other travel authorization documents.
Processing Time
The processing time for B1/B2 visa renewal varies depending on the individual case and can take anywhere from two weeks to several months.
It is important to note that if your application is denied, you will not be refunded any of the fees associated with the application process.
