How do I know if I’m qualified to apply for the B-2 US Visa?

Temporary visitors to the United States usually need to obtain an entry visa, and the B visas are most common. Although the application process for a visitor visa is fairly simple, successfully obtaining the visa is harder than you might expect. The U.S. State Department, via its consulates around the world, denies a surprising number of visitor visa applications. For that reason, it’s important to fully understand your eligibility. You have to state the purpose of your trip, probably to enter the U.S. for business, pleasure, or medical treatment, which is for a specific period of time. You must have have a residence outside the U.S. as well as other binding ties that will ensure your return at the end of the visit. You will also need to provide convincing proof that you meet them.
