USA B1/B2 visitor visa document checklist
A visa document checklist lists every document you need to submit for your application, often grouped as required, recommended, and optional. Using a checklist reduces the risk of missing documents and speeds up processing. Requirements vary by country and visa type. For a US B1/B2 visitor visa, the consulate focuses on your ties to your home country, purpose of travel, and ability to fund your trip. There is no single official document list; these are commonly submitted.
