How much is the US visitor visa fee from Pakistan?
The B1/B2 application fee is USD 185 and is non-refundable. A separate USD 250 Visa Integrity Fee has been enacted and may apply at issuance.
Do I need an interview?
Most applicants in Pakistan need an in-person interview at the US Embassy in Islamabad or the Consulate General in Karachi.
Why are B1/B2 visas refused?
Most refusals are under Section 214(b), when the officer is not convinced you will return. Strong ties, consistent answers and a clear purpose are key.
Can I work or study on a visitor visa?
No. B1/B2 visitors cannot work in the US or enrol in a full course of study.
How long can I stay in the US on a B1/B2 visa?
The visa's validity is not the same as your permitted stay. The officer at the port of entry sets your stay on the I-94 record, usually up to six months per visit. You can check your I-94 online.
Do I have to list my social media on the DS-160?
Yes. The DS-160 asks for the social media identifiers you have used in the last five years. Leaving them out or giving false answers can lead to refusal.
Is there a new USD 250 visa integrity fee?
A USD 250 visa integrity fee was enacted in 2025, but its collection has not been applied consistently. Check the US Embassy in Pakistan's website for the fees in force before you pay.
Can I reapply after a 214(b) refusal?
Yes, there is no waiting period. But reapplying with the same facts usually gives the same result. Reapply when your circumstances have changed, such as a stronger job, travel history or family ties.
Talk to us about your DS-160, documents and interview before you book.
