What are the requirements for business visa in usa?

The business visa is usually available for foreign nationals to travel to the United States on a temporary basis for business. Following are some of the basic qualifications that a foreign national has to meet to be issued a B-1 business visa. The applicant must be in possession of a valid passport with at least six months' validity from the date of his intended stay in the United States.

1. Purpose of Visit: It is here that the applicant needs to explain the purpose of his travel. This might comprise but is not restricted to business meetings, negotiation of contracts, and conferences or settlement of an estate.
2. Form DS-160: There's an online form that applicants are supposed to fill out. A DS-160 is the official application for a non-immigrant visa, and it needs to be submitted prior to scheduling the interview for a visa.
3. Visa Interview: Generally, an applicant will need to undergo an interview at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate. During the interview, it is the consular officer who shall assess whether the applicant meets the eligibility under the laws and whether the application is made for a proper purpose. The applicants may expect that they would be questioned with respect to their business activities as well as their connections with their own home country.
4. Proof of Financial Support: The applicant has the financial resources to meet all the expenses within the country. This might be supported by bank statements, a letter from the employer, or a letter of sponsorship if other persons finance the visit.
5. Ties to Home Country: An applicant of a B-1 visa would have to establish that he or she maintains ties with the home country by showing family ties, property ownership, or employment to assure their return upon expiration of such temporary visit.
6. Additional Supporting Documentation: This could be an invitation letter from a U.S. company, details of previous travel to the United States, and verification of employment.

It provides a fuller document process for at least visa applicants to check if they are not trying to take advantage of the law but in fact, are coming to conduct business.
