The United States of America is an immersive tapestry of iconic cityscapes, breathtaking national parks, and global cultural influence. Under the B1/B2 tourist and business visa scheme, Indian citizens are eligible for a premium 10-year multiple-entry visa. The US visa evaluation process is entirely unique: rather than depending solely on paper submissions, decisions are made in-person during a brief, high-pressure interview with a consular officer. The DS-160 application form acts as your primary legal profile. A single inconsistent or weak response on this digital form can lead to a prompt 214(b) rejection. How2Go provides expert DS-160 drafting, profile evaluation, interview simulation/coaching, and slot monitoring to streamline this extensive journey.
Yes, for most first-time applicants aged 14 to 79, a physical interview at a US Embassy or Consulate (Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, or Hyderabad) is mandatory. The interview is conducted in English or regional languages and usually lasts 2-3 minutes. Consular officers evaluate your 'ties to India' and intent to return. Our specialists provide simulated interview preparation to build your confidence and help you frame clear, honest answers.
The DS-160 is a comprehensive online application form containing detailed personal, professional, and security information. US consular officers rely heavily on the DS-160 to pre-evaluate your profile before you even stand at the interview window. Any spelling errors, incomplete job descriptions, or mismatches with your spoken interview answers will lead to immediate rejection under Section 214(b). We draft and audit your DS-160 line by line.
Section 214(b) is the most common reason for US visa rejection. Under US law, every visitor visa applicant is legally presumed to be an 'intending immigrant' who plans to stay in the US permanently. It is your job to overcome this presumption by proving strong, undeniable ties to India (family, business, employment, property). We structure your application to highlight these ties clearly.
Yes! The US State Department explicitly advises applicants NOT to purchase non-refundable flight tickets or make final bookings before receiving their visa. You only need to outline a tentative travel plan on your DS-160. Solo travelers are highly common, but we will help you frame your itinerary and travel justification so it sounds highly credible and planned.
Yes! If you are renewing a previous US visa in the same category that expired within the last 48 months, or if you are under 14 or over 80 years of age, you may qualify for an interview waiver (often called Dropbox). You only need to book a biometric submission date and drop off your documents.
