Short-stay entry for family visits, tourism, and general travel — expert DOS (US Embassy Colombo)-compliant applications managed by our specialist team in Colombo.
The B-1/B-2 visa is the standard US visitor visa combining business (B-1) and tourism/personal (B-2) categories. Sri Lankan applicants apply at the US Embassy in Colombo and must attend a consular interview. A successful B-1/B-2 visa is typically issued for 10 years with multiple entries, with each stay limited to 6 months as determined by CBP at the port of entry.
Our team prepares Sri Lankan applicants for every stage: DS-160 completion, interview coaching, financial documentation, and petition management for employment-based categories.
Our consultants maintain current, working knowledge of U.S. Department of State & U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services requirements — not outdated general advice. Every United States Visitor Visa application we submit is reviewed by a senior specialist before filing.
Three reasons our United States Visitor Visa clients consistently achieve results.
Incomplete or poorly structured visitor visa applications are the leading cause of refusals. We build watertight document packages that address every criterion the officer will assess.
Before submission, we assess your profile against the key refusal triggers: insufficient funds, weak ties to Sri Lanka, and unclear travel purpose. We address each one before you submit.
If you've had a prior refusal, we conduct a root-cause analysis and build a stronger reapplication strategy that addresses the specific reasons for the previous decision.
A clear four-step process from your first enquiry to visa grant.
We review your travel history, financial position, and purpose of visit to assess your application strength and identify any risk factors.
Your consultant builds a complete, tailored document package covering financial proof, purpose statements, and ties-to-home evidence.
We prepare and submit your application through the correct official channel, whether online portal or consulate, with a thorough pre-submission review.
We track your application, respond to any requests for additional information, and keep you updated at every stage until a decision is issued.
