United States Immigration Attorney in London

Are you looking to travel from London to the United States for a professional or commercial business purpose? Do you need to settle an estate, negotiate a contract, or participate in short-term training on a temporary basis in the United States? If so, you will need to apply for a B-1 temporary business visa at the U.S. Embassy in London or U.S. Consulate in Belfast. At American Immigration Law Office LTD, the firm's US immigration attorney in London can help you simplify the process of applying for a B-1 visa and maximize your chances of securing a successful outcome.

Who Is Eligible for a B-1 Visa?

In order to obtain a B-1 visa, you must be able to demonstrate the following:

1. You wish to enter the US for an approved B-1 visitor for business purpose.
2. You plan to stay only for a finite period of time.
3. You have the necessary funds to cover your expenses for your entire stay in the United States.
4. You reside outside of the United States and have binding ties that ensure you will return abroad.
5. You are otherwise admissible to the United States.
6. You agree to only engage in B-1 approved activities while in the USA and abide by any limitations imposed by your visa classification.

If you satisfy the above criteria, you may then apply for a visa at a U.S Embassy or Consulate abroad. This involves completing Online Nonimmigrant Visa Application Form DS-160 and providing a recent photograph along with your application. Once your application is reviewed, you will be required to attend an interview with an Embassy or Consulate official. Preparing for this interview involves paying an application fee, gathering valid documentation. Depending on the outcome of this interview, your visa will either be approved, denied, or subject to further administrative processing.

Individuals who are granted B-1 visas will be permitted to stay in the United States for a period of anywhere from one to six months, unless an extension is approved. The maximum amount of time a person may stay in the United States under B-1 status, if an extension is sought and granted, is one year. All dependents of a B-1 immigrant must apply for a separate B-2 visa and must adhere to the regulations of that visa in order to accompany them during their stay.
