The B1/B2 visitor visa: we prepare the form and the file, and get you ready for the interview
About this visa
We complete the DS-160 form carefully, prepare the photos, documents and translations, book the interview as soon as appointments are available, and follow your file until your passport is back.
The US visitor visa (B1/B2) is what Saudi citizens and residents of Saudi Arabia need for tourism, family visits and short business trips. You complete the DS-160 form online, then attend an in-person interview at the US Embassy in Riyadh or the Consulate General in Jeddah or Dhahran, where your fingerprints are taken.
Important: the US Embassy in Riyadh has announced that routine visa processing is not available in Saudi Arabia at this time, while the embassy and consulates remain open, and that it will post updates when available. The State Department also requires applicants to book their interview in their country of nationality or residence. We therefore check the current position with you before you start, and prepare your file in advance so you are ready when appointments reopen.
How we work with you: you send us your request; we send you the document list, complete the DS-160 and review it with you, have your photos taken to specification, and translate your national ID card and family card. We then book the interview, explain what to expect, and follow the application afterwards until your passport is back.
Since 1 August 2022, B1/B2 visas for Saudi citizens are issued for multiple entries and valid for up to 10 years. The length of each stay is set by the border officer on arrival, usually up to 6 months. The decision rests with the consular officer alone, and no one can guarantee approval.
