1.Overview
1.概述
The
B-1/B-2 visitor visa is for people traveling to the United States
temporarily for business (B-1) or for pleasure or medical treatment
(B-2). Generally, the B-1 visa is for travelers consulting with
business associates; attending scientific, educational, professional,
or business conventions/conferences; settling an estate; or
negotiating contracts. The B-2 visa is for travel that is
recreational in nature, including tourism; visits with friends or
relatives; medical treatment; and activities of a fraternal, social,
or service nature. Often, the B-1 and B-2 visas are combined and
issued as one visa: the B-1/B-2.

Supporting documents are only one of many factors a consular officer will consider in your interview. Consular officers look at each application individually and consider professional, social, cultural, and other factors during adjudication. Consular officers may look at your specific intentions, family situation, and your long-range plans and prospects within your country of residence. Each case is examined individually and is accorded every consideration under the law.
支持性文件仅是签证官在面谈时需要考虑的众多因素之一。签证官将综合职业、社会、文化和其他因素,根据每位申请人的具体情况进行相应的分析和判断。签证官需要权衡申请人的赴美意图、家庭背景、在原居住国的长期规划等各方面信息。每一个签证申请都将视为独立个案处理,并依据法律给予充分的考虑。
Note: Do not present false documents. Fraud or misrepresentation can result in permanent visa ineligibility. If confidentiality is of concern, the applicant should bring the documents to the Embassy or Consulate General in a sealed envelope. The Embassy or Consulate General will not make this information available to anyone and will respect the confidentiality of the information.
