Overview

USA Visitor Visa for Indian Passport Holders

Explore a New York city itinerary or visit relatives across the United States with the appropriate temporary visitor route. A B-1/B-2 visitor visa can cover qualifying business meetings and tourism; it does not authorise employment.

Choose the right route

Complete the DS-160 and follow the US mission application and interview instructions. Each traveller needs an individual application, including children. An interview waiver is available only when the current rules and the mission allow it.

Budget and application timing

The published non-petition visitor application fee is USD 185. Check the official fee and appointment portal before payment for any additional charges that apply; a quote here is supplied on request.

There is no fixed visitor-visa decision time. For context, the official table dated 17 September 2026 showed a 10-month next interview wait in New Delhi. The 300-day catalogue indicator represents that appointment reference only; adjudication and any administrative processing are additional.

Read the decision carefully

The India reciprocity schedule lists multiple-entry B-1/B-2 validity of 120 months, but the consular officer may issue a different visa. Visa validity never grants a 10-year stay: CBP determines admission and the I-94 deadline.
