Business Visitor Visa (B-1)
Business Visitor Visa (B-1)
If you are not a US citizen and you will be coming from another country, you may be required to obtain a Business Visitor Visa (B-1) for business-specific purposes. Business Visitor Visas cost $185. J-PAL does not cover this cost. Detailed information on the B-1 Business Visitor Visa can be found here.
While we can help you by providing a Letter of Support (if you fill out this visa form, one will be sent to you), it will be your responsibility to go through the steps required by the US embassy or consulate in your country of work. It is the US embassies and consulates abroad that have the ultimate authority in accepting and processing visa applications and deciding to issue visas for foreign citizens to travel to the United States.
Please be aware that applying for a US visa can take time, so we recommend that you apply as early as possible. Every applicant is required to present for an interview; often, there are not interview spots immediately available.
