USA Tourist Visa from India
Planning a trip to the USA? Indian citizens need a B1/B2 visitor visa before travel. Mapshore assists with DS-160, appointment booking, and document preparation.
Why choose Mapshore for your USA visa from India
We have filed this before
Mapshore has been arranging visas alongside flights and holidays since 2005, so the checklist we hand you is the one that is working at that consulate now.
Your file is checked before it goes in
We read every document against the current requirement list first. Most straightforward refusals come down to a missing statement or a photo at the wrong size, and those are cheap to catch early.
Honest timelines, not best cases
We tell you the turnaround to plan around for your nationality and the season you are travelling in, and we say so early if your dates are too tight to be safe.
A refusal is not the end of it
Bring us the refusal letter. We work out which ground it was refused on, fix that specific thing, and file again rather than resubmitting the same file.
One named person on your file
You deal with the consultant handling your application rather than a queue, and we still pick up when something shifts mid-holiday.
USA visa questions from India
Yes, Indian applicants can reapply for a USA B1/B2 visitor visa from India after a refusal by strengthening ties to India, finances and purpose for the next interview in India. You must declare prior US refusals. There is no ban from India. Mapshore in Kerala helps you prepare for the consular interview in India after reviewing your prior refusal.
Travel insurance is not mandatory for a USA B1/B2 visitor visa from India, but it is strongly recommended because US medical care is extremely expensive without cover for Indian visitors. Policies bought in India should cover the US stay. Mapshore in Kerala advises insurance for every Indian traveller to avoid hospital bills and show preparedness at your visa interview.
USA B1/B2 timing from India is driven by the interview wait at US consulates, which varies by season and can be weeks to months, plus a few days for passport return. Check the State Department wait for your Indian post before applying. Apply at least three months before travel from India and keep your appointment early.
From India the USA B1/B2 fee is USD 185 per applicant, unchanged since May 2023, plus a USD 250 visa integrity fee at issuance under the 2025 One Big Beautiful Bill Act where collected in India. The USD 185 remains non refundable in India even if the US consulate refuses the visa, so Indian applicants should budget for both fees before booking travel.
From India you need an Indian passport valid for six months beyond your US stay, a completed DS-160 confirmation page, appointment confirmation, US specification photo, six months of Indian bank statements, employment proof in India and evidence of ties showing you will return to India after visiting the USA.
From India a USA B1/B2 visa may be valid up to ten years for Indian passports, but the border officer decides the permitted stay per visit, usually up to six months on your I-94. Visa validity and authorised stay differ. Check your I-94 after entry from India and do not overstay, as violations harm future US visas from India.
