Quy trình xin visa B1/B2

Theo US Department of State (travel.state.gov), the B1/B2 tourist visa application process consists of 5 steps:

  1. Step 1 — Complete the DS-160 form

    Apply online, upload a compliant photo and save the confirmation code to book an appointment.

  2. Step 2 — Pay the application fee (MRV)

    The application fee is non-refundable and paid before scheduling the interview.

  3. Step 3 — Schedule the interview

    At the US Consulate General (Ho Chi Minh City) or Embassy (Hanoi).

  4. Step 4 — Interview

    The consular officer assesses the purpose of the trip and ties to Vietnam.

  5. Step 5 — Receive the result

    The visaed passport is returned once the application is approved.

02

Overcoming Section 214(b)

Most rejected applications fall under section 214(b) of the US Immigration and Nationality Act (INA): the applicant has not proven strong enough ties to Vietnam to commit to returning. M2W helps you present your financial, employment and family situation persuasively, consistent with your DS-160 form.

Frequently asked questions about visiting the United States

How long is the US B1/B2 tourist visa valid?

For Vietnamese citizens, a B1/B2 is usually issued valid for up to 10 years, multiple entry. The length of each stay is decided by the customs officer on entry, usually up to 6 months.

If my US tourist visa was refused, can I apply again?

Yes. After being refused under section 214(b), you may reapply once circumstances change or you can provide more convincing evidence of ties to Vietnam.

How much financial proof is needed to obtain the visa?

There is no fixed amount. The consular officer assesses income, employment, assets and the overall reasonableness of the trip relative to financial capacity, not just the account balance.

Does M2W only handle visas, or does it also organise US travel tours?

M2W does both: organising US travel tours and handling the full B1/B2 visa application under one roof — itinerary advice, flight and hotel booking, and visa preparation together. Contact M2W for itinerary suggestions and a quote tailored to your needs.

Can I apply for a tourist visa if I intend to immigrate?

Talk directly with M2W. Honestly declaring the purpose of each trip helps avoid being deemed “misrepresentation”, which could ruin your green card case later.
