Is there a difference between an individual tourist visa and a group visa in the United States?

There is a difference, the key is that individual visas are not very easy to get. You can basically go through a travel agency. That's the difference, I hope mine is helpful to you.

1. The U.S. tourist group visa can apply for a U.S. tourist visa (B 2 visa).

U.S. Tourist Visa (B2 Visa): The B2 visa is issued to applicants traveling to the United States for tourism, and the B1 visa is issued to applicants who are traveling to the United States for short-term business activities, including negotiating contracts, participating in exhibitions or conferences, short-term training, or negotiating business with **merchants or customers.

The B2 visa is issued to applicants who travel to the United States for sightseeing, visiting family and friends, and medical treatment. B1 and B2 visa holders cannot be employed in the United States.

2. The materials required for the U.S. tourist group visa are as follows:

1. A valid passport that is valid for at least six months beyond the intended period of stay.

2. Appointment interview confirmation letter.

3. DS-160** confirmation page.

1 color frontal photo of a 2" x 2" (5 cm x 5 cm) square on a white background within a month.

5. Passports with previous visas to the United States, including expired passports.

6. Receipt of visa application fee.

7. Current income certificate, tax bill, real estate certificate or enterprise property right certificate, asset certificate.

8. Itinerary and other instructions about travel plans.

9. A letter of introduction from the applicant's employer, detailing the applicant's position, salary, entry time, whether he is allowed to take leave, and the purpose of going to the United States to participate in business activities (if any), etc.

10. Criminal court records (regardless of location** or conviction, even if the sentence has been served or pardoned).

11. If the applicant is a student, please bring transcripts and diplomas, as well as bank statements, fixed deposit slips and other proof of funds.

12. If you are employed, you need to bring the employment certificate issued by the unit and the salary slip of the last three months. Entrepreneurs and company executives should bring proof of their position and salary from their company.

13. In the case of family visits, the applicant shall provide evidence to prove that he or she has a real and uninterrupted kinship relationship with the inviter, and provide information on the immigration status of the inviter in the United States.

14. If the applicant has been to the U.S. before, please bring supporting documents of the appropriate status or visa status, especially all previously used U.S. visas (including expired visas).

Notes:

1. The purpose (and only purpose) of the visa is to travel, and it is not and cannot be mentioned in the business activities in the itinerary.

2. When asked what countries you have been to, try to mention as many countries as you have been, especially some developed countries such as Western Europe and Australia (developed countries that have visited with official passports in the past can also be mentioned).

3. When proving that you have the financial strength to afford the expenses, you must issue relevant property certificates to the visa officer.

4. When the visa officer asks a question, you should ask what to answer, do not change your words or explain too much, be honest and polite in the question, do not avoid the sight of the visa officer, and talk to him confidently and calmly.

1. The pass rate is different.

The pass rate of group signing is much higher than that of individual signing. Moreover, the U.S. group visa and individual visa are combined, both are ten years of multiple round-trip B1B2 visa, the U.S. visa is originally available with a group or independent travel, after the application is the same as your own processing, you can generously tell the customs your actual purpose of entry, and people will not ask you how to apply for the visa.

2. The binding force is different.

The group sign is different from the binding force, with the group with the whole process of the tour leader and tour guide watching, the tourist must enter the destination country with the group and must return to China with the group, and the whole process can not be separated from the group to carry out their own activities. The general movement of the individual visa is relatively free, and you can arrange the itinerary by yourself.

There is no difference, the visa itself is B1 B2, business tourism visa, and there is no distinction between individual travel and group travel. However, if it is a group, the system of the immigration bureau can see the itinerary and other information submitted by the travel agency, so the group will ask fewer questions when entering the United States, and if it is an individual tour, it will ask a bunch of questions when entering the country, such as how many dollars of cash you have brought, whether you have a return ticket, and whether you have booked a hotel (there is a certain amount of cash, a return ticket, and a hotel are booked, which proves that the risk of stay is low). In addition, after November 12, 2014, the United States will introduce a 10-year business tourist visa for China.

Hello! It is easy to handle the free travel with the group, and the independent travel is difficult.

There are two types of U.S. tourist visas that need to be treated differently, U.S. individual tourist visas and group visas. In fact, they all belong to the United States B2 visa, and the slight difference is that the tour group visa is much easier to pass than the individual tourist visa, and the materials required are simpler. However, in terms of the length of stay, the stay time of the tour group visa is shorter.

From the type of visa:

There is no fundamental difference, after obtaining the visa, the passport shows the B1 B2 type visa.

Judging by the difficulty of the visa:

A group visa is much easier than an individual tourist visa, and the documents required are simpler.

Judging by the length of validity:

The current U.S. tourist visas are generally valid for 10 years and multiple trips, but the validity period of the tour group visa is very short, and the visa may expire after the group period ends. And it's a single visa, go once and you can't go again.

Limitations of the Package Tourist Visa:

After obtaining a tour group visa, you can only join a travel agency's group to enter the United States, and after the tour period is over, you can travel with the group and leave the United States, otherwise it will be regarded as illegal residence.

How to apply: The tour group visa is made by a travel agency for the visa application appointment for the group of passengers, and the individual tourist visa needs to be applied for by the old person.

Whether it is a group or an individual, the U.S. tourist visa is B1 or B2, and the corresponding travel certificate is required when traveling to the United States in a group (an interview is required when applying for a U.S. visa for the first time) and when entering the United States. For group travel, provide information such as the itinerary and date of the registered travel agency, and when you enter the United States, the customs gate** will also ask you for your approximate itinerary in the United States, return flight reservation, hotel name and other information during your stay in the United States.

The documents required for an individual to apply for a visa for tourism to the United States are as follows

2. A valid passport for travel to the United States that is valid for at least six months beyond the intended period of stay in the United States.

3. A 51*51mm color photo with a white background in the past six months, and its electronic version**.

4. A copy of the front and back of the ID card, a copy of the applicant's household registration, and a copy of the marriage certificate (if married).

5. The original bank account record in the past six months (the more deposits, the better).

6. Other economic information: real estate certificate, vehicle property rights, etc.

7. Travel itinerary.

8. A letter of introduction from the applicant's employer, detailing the applicant's position, salary, entry time, and whether he is allowed to take leave.

9. In-service personnel should bring the employment certificate issued by the unit and the salary slip of the last three months.

Once you have prepared the list of documents for your U.S. tourist visa, begin the following steps:

Step 1: Suspicion:

Complete the U.S. Visa Electronic Application Form (DS-160**).

Step 2: Pay the visa application fee.

Step 3: Make an appointment for an interview.

Step 4: Please attend the U.S. Embassy or Consulate General for an appointment at the appointed time.

An accredited third-party agency can provide visa application assistance to applicants, including filling out the DS-160 application form, making appointments, providing guidance on visa documents, translation, review, and interview guidance, as well as urging the U.S. Embassy to expedite the processing during the subsequent processing process.

Differences:1The visa format is exactly the same.

2.Visa results: At present, tourist group visas in first-tier cities (Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou) are generally valid, but individual tourist visas are still rejected.

3.Reasons: 1) The visa counseling for travelers is effective for tour groups;

2) Generally speaking, the deposit of the tour group in the travel agency is about 100,000 yuan, and the tour guide will usually keep the passport for you. Therefore, the U.S. Consulate is more reassuring for visa applicants who are traveling with the group, and the visa rate is naturally high.

3) According to Section 214b of the U.S. Immigration Act, a visa officer may issue a visa only if the applicant can prove that he or she will not be unlawfully detained in the United States. Therefore, it is not possible for an applicant to obtain a visa if he or she fails to meet the requirements of section 214b.

Compared with the group, the applicant's English level will not be very high in the first place, otherwise the independent travel will not know English, and it is not very valid to travel to the United States. Moreover, in the eyes of the visa officer, the group will be more binding if the group enters and exits, and the individual will travel freely. However, whether the visa can be approved depends on the applicant's comprehensive information, including whether he has traveled to developed countries like the United States in the past 5 years, such as Europe and Australia?

Are you married and have children in the country? Do you have a stable job and income? Is the household registration a sensitive area?

Degree? Are there any relatives in the U.S.? Wait.

The better the combination of these aspects, the greater the chance of passing. For specific questions about visa processing, you can also consult Easy Walk Out, they are state-run institutions; There are many difficult visas to deal with, including many U.S. visa refusals, and they have also been approved. I wish you all the best for your visa

The big ones are better, I did it in Namy last year, they will teach you some small methods, such as: what kind of questions the visa officer often asks, how to deal with it, etc., the group visa will be a little easier than a visa, if you are not leaving the country for the first time, you can do it yourself.
