US Visit Visa from Dubai

Our US B1/B2 visitor visa service fees are AED 1,000 (Standard), AED 1,500 (Priority) or AED 2,000+ (Express), depending on how soon you need your interview slot. The US government's own MRV visa fee is separate and paid directly to the US government at booking.

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.

Interview wait times at the embassy currently run around 6 to 12 weeks, and this changes over time, so we always confirm the current wait before you book. Once your interview happens, the embassy usually responds the same day or the day before. Our Standard, Priority and Express packages affect how soon you get an interview slot, not the embassy's own decision timeline.

Generally yes, but this is one of the most common worries we hear right now. Regional developments have caused temporary closures or reduced capacity before, so it's a fair question, and it's why wait times can shift with little notice. When that happens, confirmed appointments are typically honored once operations resume rather than cancelled outright, but the exact handling depends on the situation at the time. If your interview 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, and it works both ways. Once you have a confirmed appointment, you can log back into your scheduling account at any time and rebook into any slot that's currently open, earlier or later than your original date. Earlier slots do open up, because other applicants cancel or reschedule their own appointments, and whoever is checking at that moment can take it. The real limit is that it takes actually checking regularly, we log into these accounts daily as part of the job and catch slots as they appear, but someone with one appointment months out won't see an earlier one unless they check the portal themselves fairly often.

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.
