US Visit Visa from Dubai

Our US B1/B2 visitor visa service fees are AED 450 (Standard), AED 2,450 (Express) or AED 360 per person for families of 3 or more (Family). The US government's visa fee (MRV) is separate: USD 185, about AED 680 per applicant, mandatory to open the appointment calendar and not refundable. You can pay it yourself or through us, at exact cost, and it is not part of our fees. For Express, we commit to an appointment within 40 days or we refund our fee in full the same day.

You'll need a valid passport (6+ months beyond your stay), your UAE residence visa, a DS-160-compliant photo, the DS-160 confirmation page, the MRV fee receipt, 3-6 months of bank statements, a salary certificate or employment letter, and proof of ties to the UAE such as property, family or ongoing employment. Requirements vary a little by profile, so we send you the exact checklist for your case over WhatsApp before you start.

Yes. Unlike Schengen or Canada, a US visitor visa requires an in-person interview at the embassy or consulate. We prepare your DS-160 and full file remotely over WhatsApp, but the interview itself is attended in person, that's the US government's process, not something we can do on your behalf.

The DS-160 is the US government's own online visa application form, and it asks for more detail than other visa types: full travel history, family information, employment history, and security questions. Small inconsistencies between your DS-160 and your interview answers are a common reason for delay, so we prepare it carefully with you rather than treat it as a formality.

Appointment dates are set by the US government and change often. Based on what our latest clients report, the first available appointment has recently been around 2 to 3 months away, and we always confirm the current wait before you book. Once your interview happens, the embassy usually responds the same day or the day before. Standard books the first available date and keeps watching for an earlier one, while Express commits to an appointment within 40 days or a full refund of our fee. Neither package changes the embassy's own decision.

Yes. Appointments can be booked on the official US visa scheduling system, in limited numbers and on dates that change often. Availability can shift with little notice, so we confirm the current situation with you before you book. If your appointment date is approaching and you're unsure of its status, we check the official scheduling portal with you rather than leaving you to guess.

Check your own scheduling account first. Updates, including a postponement, show up there and are usually sent to you by email proactively, so if nothing says your appointment is cancelled, it stands, and calling just to ask for reassurance won't get you a faster answer than the portal already gives you. It's a different story if the problem is technical, you genuinely can't log in, especially after a site update. In that case, call the number listed on your confirmation or the scheduling site directly, that's exactly what it's there for. An appointment can still shift at short notice if something unforeseen comes up, but a postponement is a reschedule, not a lost booking.

Yes, but only one change is free: any further change is subject to additional fees. Once you have a confirmed appointment, you can log back into your scheduling account and rebook into a slot that is currently open. Earlier slots do open up, because other applicants cancel or reschedule their own appointments. That is why we monitor availability on your behalf, send you an update every Friday and move you only when a clearly earlier date appears.

The paperwork side, yes: DS-160 preparation, document review, and interview slot booking all run through WhatsApp. The interview itself is the one step that happens in person, at the embassy, because that's how the US visa process works for every applicant worldwide.

Yes. We start by reviewing your previous application and interview outcome before anything else. A common reason cited is Section 214(b), which means the officer wasn't convinced of your ties to the UAE and your intent to return, not a permanent ban. We'll give you an honest read on whether reapplying now makes sense or whether part of your file needs strengthening first.

No, we handle B1/B2 visitor visa applications (tourism and business) only, not work visas or immigrant visa categories.

No. Immigrant visas are the category that leads to permanent residence, a completely different process from the non-immigrant B1 (business) or B2 (tourism) visitor visa. A policy that pauses or restricts immigrant visa processing doesn't change how B1/B2 applications are handled. If a US policy update ever did affect visitor visas specifically, we'd flag it to you directly rather than let you find out mid-application.
