Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about USA tourist visas

Do I need a visa or can I use ESTA?

If you're staying less than 90 days and meet ESTA requirements, you can use the Visa Waiver Program. For longer stays or more flexibility, a B-2 tourist visa is recommended.

What questions will I be asked at the interview?

Common questions include: Why are you visiting the US? How long will you stay? What ties do you have to the UK? Do you have sufficient funds? We'll help you prepare for your interview.

Can I work in the US with a tourist visa?

No, the B-2 tourist visa does not allow you to work in the United States. It's strictly for tourism, visiting family/friends, and medical treatment.

How long before my trip should I apply?

We recommend applying at least 2-3 months before your intended travel date, especially during peak seasons when interview appointments may be limited.

What if my visa is denied?

While our success rate is 97%, if your visa is denied, we'll help you understand the reasons and guide you through a reapplication process at no additional cost.
