When preparing for a B-1/B-2 visa application, it is essential to base your request on information from official sources. This way, you demonstrate not only respect for United States immigration laws but also a commitment to follow proper procedures.

A practical way to prove that you reviewed all official sources is to save records (such as dated screenshots or links) of the relevant pages from government websites. For example, the U.S. Department of State website and the official website of the U.S. embassy or consulate in your country contain updated information about visa requirements. These records can serve as evidence that your decision was based on accurate and official information.

Additionally, I recommend noting the dates of access and checking official announcements whenever there are updates to the information. This way, you show a commitment to staying informed about any relevant changes in the procedure.

It is crucial to remember that following United States immigration laws prevents future issues and meets the standards required during the review of your application. Finally, it is important to be aware of scams and marketing campaigns that promise miraculous or guaranteed results. By relying only on official information and, if necessary, seeking guidance from reputable sources – without ever making commitments or promising results – you place yourself in a safer and better-prepared position for the visa process.
