USA Visa — Overview

Planning a trip to USA? Tripgation's dedicated visa desk assists Indian travelers with USA tourist, business, student, employment, transit and family visit visas. We help you understand the right visa category for your trip, prepare an accurate and complete document set, book your embassy/consulate/VAC appointment where required, and track your application through to a decision — so you can focus on planning the trip itself.

Because visa rules, documentation and fees are set directly by the USA government and can change without notice, this page provides a general, up-to-date structure for what to expect rather than fixed fee or processing-time figures. Our consultants confirm the exact, current requirements for your visa type and travel dates before you apply — get in touch for a free consultation.

Visa Types

Tourist Visa — USA

For leisure travel, sightseeing, and visiting friends or family for short stays. Our consultants handle the USA tourist visa application end-to-end — from eligibility checks and documentation to embassy/VAC submission and status tracking.

Eligibility

Eligibility depends on your travel purpose, length of stay, sponsor/host details and passport validity. Speak with a Tripgation visa consultant for a free eligibility check specific to your profile before you apply.

Documents Required

Core

Every application needs these

  • Passport — original, valid at least six months beyond your intended return, with two or more blank pages
  • Recent passport-size photographs to the mission's exact specification (size, background and recency differ by country)
  • Completed and signed visa application form, with no field left blank
  • Confirmed return or onward flight itinerary (held, not necessarily purchased)
  • Accommodation confirmation covering the whole stay
  • Bank statements for the last six months, stamped by the bank
  • A covering letter stating who is travelling, why, who is paying, and what you return to
  • Previous passports, if held — your travel history is assessed from them
Purpose

Added for the tourist visa

  • Day-by-day itinerary matching your hotel and flight dates
  • Proof of funds sufficient for the stated duration of stay
  • Leave-sanction letter from your employer, on letterhead
  • Travel insurance for the period of travel, where required
Your profile

Added by your own circumstances

Salaried
Employer NOC and approved leave letter, last six months of payslips, and Form 16 or ITR for the last two years.
Self-employed
Business registration, GST returns, business ITR for two to three years, and business bank statements kept separate from personal ones.
Retired
Pension order or statement, proof of assets, and a service or superannuation certificate — steady income is what the mission looks for.
Homemaker or dependant
The sponsor's complete financial file plus relationship proof; the case is assessed on the sponsor, so their documents must be as thorough as a principal applicant's.
Child under 18
Birth certificate naming both parents, both parents' passport copies, and notarised consent from any parent not travelling — missing consent stops applications.
Previously refused
The refusal letter and a covering note addressing the stated grounds directly. Concealing a prior refusal is treated far more seriously than the refusal itself.
