USA Tourist Visa from Pakistan
A practical guide for Pakistani travellers applying for a US visitor visa for tourism, family visits or other eligible temporary visitor activities.
Step-by-Step Process
Confirm the visitor category
Check that your intended activities are permitted under the B visitor visa rules.
Check your passport
Make sure your travel document meets the requirements for the application and intended trip.

Complete the online nonimmigrant visa application accurately and save the confirmation page.
Pay the visa application fee
Use the current official fee and payment procedure for applicants in Pakistan.
Schedule your interview
Follow the official US visa appointment procedure applicable in Pakistan.
Prepare evidence about your trip
Be ready to explain the purpose, expected duration and arrangements for your visit.
Prepare financial evidence
Be prepared to demonstrate how the costs of the trip will be covered.
Prepare evidence of your circumstances
Relevant employment, business, study, family and other circumstances may help explain the temporary nature of your trip.
Attend the visa interview
Answer the consular officer's questions truthfully and provide documents when requested.
Wait for the decision
Some applications require additional administrative processing or documentation.
Travel after visa issuance
Check your visa before travel. A US visa permits you to request entry; Customs and Border Protection determines admission at the port of entry.
Official Resources
Use official government and authorised sources to confirm the latest requirements before paying or submitting an application.
Avoid Visa & Job Scams
Be cautious of anyone promising a guaranteed visa, guaranteed job, guaranteed admission or guaranteed approval. Verify employers, institutions and application channels independently. PakPardes does not issue visas and cannot guarantee approval.
