Frequently Asked Questions
The United States requires a personal interview for almost all nonimmigrant visas to verify your purpose, assess your intent to return, and confirm document authenticity. The interview is your opportunity to explain your trip and demonstrate strong ties to India.
After scheduling your interview, slots are typically available within 2 to 4 weeks. The visa decision is usually made during your interview or shortly after. If approved, your passport is returned with the visa within 3 to 7 working days. Total time from DS-160 to visa in hand is typically 4 to 8 weeks, though it can vary by season.
A US visa is a sticker visa physically affixed to your passport. It is not electronic. You must carry your passport with the sticker to travel to the United States.
There is no fixed minimum. You should demonstrate sufficient funds for your planned stay, return travel, and a safety margin. For a two-week trip, showing funds of USD 3,000 to USD 5,000 (roughly INR 2.5 to 4 lakhs) is typically sufficient, but the amount depends on your trip duration and lifestyle.
No. You must wait until your visa is approved and the sticker is in your passport before you travel. Once approved, your visa is valid from the issue date. Most tourist visas are valid for 10 years, allowing multiple trips within that period.
