Documents for Applying for a B1 Visa to the United States

Below is a detailed list of the necessary documentation to submit a B-1 visa application (business visitors) for the United States. Applying for a B1 visa may seem simple, but from experience, we can say that the B1 visa application is the most delicate to prepare. The reason is that the B1 visa is not based on objective and indisputable elements. Analyzing the application involves significant areas of subjectivity that must be overcome through:

Mandatory Documents:

DS-160 Form Confirmation Page

Valid Passport

Passport-sized Photo

Printout of the interview appointment confirmation at the embassy or consulate.

Receipt of payment of consular fees.
 

Supporting Documentation:

Applicants are strongly advised to present additional supporting documents that verify the purpose of the trip, financial capability, and strong ties to France.

Documents proving the purpose of the trip:

Invitation letter from a host company/organization in the United States
Clear indication of the purpose of the visit, expected duration, and specification of the entity or company covering any expenses.

Letter from the employer
Description of the applicant's role, duration of employment, salary, detailed reasons for the trip, and assurance of return to work after the stay.

Documents related to business events like conference registrations, event invitations, or trade show participation accreditations.
 

Recommended Additional Documents (if applicable)

Financial and Economic Documentation:

Proof of strong ties to the home country:

All documents not originally written in English must be accompanied by certified translations.

Always contact ExportUSA to verify updated requirements as additional documents may be required based on specific circumstances or local regulations.
