The B1/B2 is a combined US non-immigrant visa covering business (B1) and tourism/family visits (B2). It is valid for up to 10 years with multiple entries. To get a B1/B2 visa from Dubai, you apply at the US Consulate Dubai by completing the DS-160, paying the application fee, and attending a personal interview. Veeserve handles all preparation and appointment booking.

The DS-160 form and document preparation takes 1–3 days with Veeserve’s help. Appointment wait times vary — typically 2–6 weeks for regular slots. After your interview, visa processing takes 3–10 business days. Total timeline is usually 3–8 weeks. For urgent cases, emergency appointment requests can sometimes be resolved in days.

Yes. The US Embassy accepts emergency appointment requests for genuinely urgent travel — medical emergencies, bereavement, critical business trips, or fixed-date events like weddings or graduations. Veeserve prepares your emergency request documentation and submits it correctly to maximise your chances. Note: the Embassy — not any agency — decides whether to grant the emergency appointment.

Core documents include: valid passport (6+ months), UAE residence visa and Emirates ID, DS-160 confirmation, MRV fee receipt, interview appointment confirmation, US-spec photo, 3–6 months bank statements, employment letter/NOC, and your travel itinerary. Supporting documents depend on your specific situation. Veeserve provides a personalised checklist and reviews every document before submission.

The US government’s non-refundable B1/B2 visa application fee (MRV fee) is USD 185 — approximately AED 680. This is paid directly to the Embassy. Veeserve’s consultancy service fee covers DS-160 preparation, appointment booking, document review, and interview coaching. Contact us for a full quote.

Yes. The UAE is not part of the Visa Waiver Program, so Emirati citizens must apply for a US visa (typically B1/B2) through the standard process at the US Consulate Dubai or Embassy Abu Dhabi. Veeserve provides full support for UAE nationals throughout the application.

Yes. Any person holding a valid UAE residence visa can apply for a US visa at the US Consulate in Dubai. This includes all nationalities — Indian, Pakistani, Filipino, British, European, and more. You do not need UAE citizenship to apply in Dubai. Veeserve supports applicants of all nationalities residing in the UAE.

An ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) is available only to citizens of Visa Waiver Program countries (e.g., UK, most EU nations, Japan, Australia). It allows stays of up to 90 days without a formal visa and costs USD 21. A US visa is required for all other nationalities and involves an application, fee (USD 185), and consular interview. If you hold a passport from a non-VWP country, you need a visa — not ESTA.
