Applying for a USA B1/B2 Visitor Visa shouldn't be a source of stress. At Mark Us Global Consultancy, we combine deep knowledge of U.S. immigration policy with expert human review to ensure your application meets the rigorous Department of State requirements. From navigating the DS-160 form to providing comprehensive mock interview coaching, we manage the complexities so you don't have to.
Start your application by filling out the online DS-160 (Nonimmigrant Visa Electronic Application). This form requires detailed information about your travel plans, background, and purpose of visit. Once completed, you must print and keep the barcode confirmation page.
Use your DS-160 confirmation number and fee receipt to book your required appointments. In many locations, this includes a biometrics appointment at a Visa Application Center and a formal visa interview at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate.
Pay the non-refundable and non-transferable Machine Readable Visa (MRV) fee, which is currently $185 for standard visitor visas. You must keep your payment receipt, as the receipt number is required to schedule your interview.
Go to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate on your scheduled date with your passport, DS-160 confirmation, and supporting documents. A consular officer will interview you to determine your eligibility, usually focused on your intent to return and financial stability.
We don’t just process applications; we build futures. Our mission is to provide transparent, reliable, and high-quality consultancy services that empower our clients to achieve their dreams of global mobility.
The DS-160 is a critical document where every detail matters. Our experts ensure your information is consistent, accurate, and strategically presented to reflect your true intent.
We stay on top of appointment wait times and slot availability, helping you secure the earliest possible interview and providing rapid responses to all your travel queries.
USA visas often come down to a 2-minute interview. We boost your approval chances through intensive interview preparation, helping you confidently demonstrate your strong ties to your home country.
As of 2026, the standard application fee (MRV fee) for a B1/B2 visa is $185.
Note: Depending on the exchange rate, this is roughly PKR 55,500/-
New for 2026: Be aware that a Visa Integrity Fee (approximately $250) may now be required upon visa issuance. This fee is often refundable if you comply with all visa terms and exit the U.S. on time.
The U.S. Embassy in Islamabad and Consulate in Karachi do not set a “minimum” balance, but they look for financial stability.
Solo Travelers: A healthy closing balance is typically around PKR 1,500,000 to 2,000,000.
Families: For families, we recommend showing at least PKR 3,000,000 to 4,500,000.
Crucial Rule: Avoid “funds stuffing” (large, unexplained deposits right before applying). The officer prioritizes a 6-month history of consistent income.
As of early 2026, demand remains high. While the Embassy has worked to reduce backlogs, wait times for B1/B2 interview appointments can still range from 6 to 11 months.
MUGC Strategy: We monitor the system daily to help you secure earlier “expedited” slots or cancellations whenever they become available.
The most common rejection is under Section 214(b), which means the officer isn’t convinced you have enough “strong ties” to return to Pakistan.
Strong Ties Include: A stable career (like Medical, Engineer, CA, “C” suite positions or business owner), property ownership, or immediate family in Karachi.
Consistency: If your verbal answers during the interview contradict what we wrote in your DS-160 form, it is an automatic red flag.
Yes, the B2 visa is the correct category for the World Cup.
Urgency: Because the 2026 World Cup is being hosted in the U.S., we expect a massive surge in applications. If you plan to attend, you should ideally start your application with MUGC at least 12 months in advance to ensure you get an interview slot before the tournament begins.
