The USA has several types of visa, but among all the most popular is the B-1/B-2 visitor visafor nonimmigrants traveling temporarily for business (B-1) or pleasure (tourism) or medical treatment (B-2).
B1 and B2 visa applicants must demonstrate their intention to enter the country temporarily and verify that they have the necessary financial funds to cover the expenses of their trip. In addition, they must prove that they have social and economic ties in their country of origin to guarantee their return.
The tourist visa currently in Ecuador is being given for ten years, although this does not mean that they can remain uninterrupted on US soil for that period of time. The granting of this visa allows you to a person to go to any U.S. port of entry to ask for permission to enter to that nation.
Upon arrival at a port of entry, the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer will determine the length of your visit. Usually, a stamp is placed in the passport detailing the maximum time of the visit (duration of status or D/S). This term can vary between one and six months.
It is important that the temporary visitor leaves on or before the date indicated by the customs official. Otherwise, you accumulate unlawful presence and may face immediate deportation and other penalties.
To apply for the visa, the first thing you need is to have a valid passport.
The second thing is to fill out the DS-160 application. This application takes approximately 90 minutes and there you must enter your personal information, travel itinerary, family information, education and work, among other points.
The cost of a B1/B2 visa is US$ 160 and is valid for 10 years, in the case of Ecuadorians. That same amount applies for renewal.
If the visa is approved, it will be delivered via courier. (YO)
