Overview
Visa Agents in Pune assists travellers applying for a US B1/B2 visitor visa for tourism, family visits or short business trips. We guide you through the DS-160 form, explain document requirements, help with appointment scheduling and prepare you for the visa interview.
We review your application details for accuracy and consistency, so you know what information you need before you submit, and we explain each step, from completing the form to attending the interview.
B1 or B2: Which Purpose Fits Your Trip?
The consular officer looks at the main purpose of your trip, so it helps to be clear about it from the start.
B2: Tourism and Personal Visits
✓Holidays and sightseeing
✓Visiting children, relatives or friends in the US
✓Family events such as weddings or graduations
✓Medical treatment
B1: Short Business Visits
✓Meetings with clients, partners or colleagues
✓Business conferences, trade shows and seminars
✓Negotiating contracts
Not Allowed on a Visitor Visa
A B1/B2 visa does not allow you to take a job, do paid work for a US company or enrol in a degree course. If your trip involves any of these, it needs a different visa category, which we do not handle.
How We Help Pune Travellers With a US Visa
✓DS-160 review. Many interview problems start with mistakes or inconsistencies in the DS-160. We check your answers against your documents before you submit.
✓A checklist for your profile. Salaried employees, business owners, retired parents and families with children each need different supporting papers. You get a list for your situation, not a generic one.
✓Fee and appointment guidance. We walk you through the fee payment and appointment booking system and explain the biometrics and interview steps.
✓Interview preparation. We go over the questions officers commonly ask and help you explain your trip clearly and truthfully in your own words. We never script answers.
✓A neat document file. You carry an organised folder to the interview, so you can find any paper quickly if the officer asks.
✓After the interview. If you receive a 221(g) slip asking for more information, we help you understand what is being asked and how to respond.

US Visa FAQs for Pune Applicants
Can I attend my US visa interview in Pune?+
No. There is no US consulate or US visa application centre in Pune. For Maharashtra residents, biometrics are given at the visa application centre in Mumbai and the interview is generally held at the US Consulate General in Mumbai, so most Pune applicants travel to Mumbai for both.
How much does a US tourist visa cost?+
The B1/B2 application fee is USD 185 per applicant, paid in rupees before you book the interview. It is non-refundable, even if the visa is refused. A separate US visa integrity fee has also been announced, so check the current fees on the official US visa website before you pay. Our service fee is separate, and we tell you what it is before you start.
Is the US visa interview mandatory?+
For most applicants, yes. The interview waiver for visitor visas is limited, mainly to some applicants renewing a B1/B2 visa that expired recently and who meet other conditions. Even then, the consulate can ask for an interview.
How early should I apply?+
As early as possible once your travel plans are clear. Interview wait times in India change often and can run into several months. Check the current wait time for Mumbai on the official US State Department website before booking flights.
Can my parents visit me in the US on a B2 visa?+
Yes, visiting family is a common B2 purpose. Parents usually need to show their own ties to India and how the trip will be funded. An invitation letter from you and proof of your US status can support their application.
Can I work in the US on a B1/B2 visa?+
No. You can attend meetings, conferences and negotiations on a B1 visa, but you cannot be employed or paid by a US company.
My US visa was refused under 214(b). Can you help?+
Yes. We review your previous DS-160 and what happened at the interview, then help you decide whether and when to reapply. Reapplying is only worth it if something in your situation or explanation has changed.
