The B-1 Business visa is for Indian professionals visiting the US for short business activities: meetings, negotiations, conferences, consultations with business associates, settling estates, or specific commercial/professional activities. Cannot take paid employment from a US source. Most Indians apply for combined B-1/B-2 visa — same class, same $185 fee, covers both business and tourism.
What it costs
Paid directly to United States or its visa application centre — these are not our service fee, and we never mark them up.
Figures per travel.state.gov, last verified 19 Apr 2026. Fees change without notice — the official page is final.
All US nonimmigrant visa (MRV) fees are set in USD by the Department of State and paid online in India via usvisascheduling.com. The INR amount depends on exchange rate on payment day. Additional costs: SEVIS fee for F/M/J visas (paid to ICE separately), VFS document delivery charges, photograph, and any USCIS petition fees (for work visas — usually paid by employer). MRV fees are non-refundable regardless of interview outcome.

For a US B1/B2 the consulate does not want your flight or hotel bookings at all — the interview decides it.
0 of 4 are compulsory for United States
Where people slip: Travel dates on the DS-160 that do not match what you say at the interview. Keep one plan and state it the same way.
Book for ₹708 (+₹472 per family member)Where people slip: Carrying a folder of bookings to the interview. Officers rarely open documents — 214(b) turns on your answers and your ties.
Confirmed hotel booking, ₹590 per hotel: message us firstWhere people slip: Assuming an Indian health policy covers you in the United States. Almost none do.
Where people slip: A rehearsed itinerary that contradicts your own answers about your job, your family or your funds.
The letter your itinerary attaches toWe can arrange the flight reservation, the hotel and the itinerary for your United States file — each sold separately.
We are a B2B travel agency as well as a visa consultancy, working with partners including Riya Travel — so the flight reservation and the confirmed hotel booking both come from us, and you deal with one team. Every booking is a real one under your own name. We do not sell travel insurance: buy the policy directly from an insurer.
None of them is part of our visa fee: each is bought on its own, at the price below, with or without our visa service.
Flight reservation ₹708 (+₹472 per extra family member) · Confirmed hotel booking ₹590 per hotel · Travel itinerary ₹1,499. GST included.
Delivery. Usually within 30 minutes during office hours, Mon–Sat 10:00–18:00 IST. Confirmed hotel bookings are not bought online: message us first on WhatsApp or email info@sureshotvisa.com with the city, dates and travellers.

Frequently asked
B-1/B-2 combined is the standard for most Indians — same fee, same visa class, covers both business and tourism. Apply for B-1 only if purely business-focused.
No. B-1 allows business activities but not productive employment. 'Work' means receiving salary from a US source or doing tasks that a US worker would normally be hired to do.
Yes — training paid for by your overseas employer that is not available in India is allowed. Training for US productivity (i.e., the training serves a US business) requires H-3 visa.
CBP decides at the port of entry. Typically up to 6 months, often 3-6 months depending on stated purpose.

Your fee, in one glance
Government, visa-centre, insurance, ticket and hotel costs are separate and charged at cost. Read what each item means, in full.
Before you file
Filed on a guessed checklist, the government fee is gone on a refusal and the refusal follows every future application. Filed after a consultant at our licensed firm has read the papers against each other, the file answers the officer's questions before they are asked. Same United States rules, different outcome. How we do that is written once, in full, on the method page rather than repeated here.
