Entering the United States temporarily requires the appropriate non-immigrant visa. While many travelers use the Visa Waiver Program, citizens of non-waiver countries—or those seeking longer stays—must apply for a B-1/B-2 Visa.
The challenge is not the form; it is the law. Under U.S. immigration law, every applicant is presumed to be an intending immigrant until they prove otherwise. Wang Law PLLC helps clients overcome this presumption.
Allowed: Consulting with associates, attending conferences, settling estates, or negotiating contracts.
Strictly Prohibited: Gainful employment or receiving salary from a U.S. source.
Allowed: Vacation, visiting family, amateur sports/music events, and Medical Treatment.
Note: B-2 is often issued as a combined “B-1/B-2” visa.
The most common reason for denial is Section 214(b): failure to prove non-immigrant intent.
To qualify, you must demonstrate strong binding ties to your home country (e.g., property, stable job, family) that ensure your return. Wang Law PLLC assists clients who have been previously denied by preparing a comprehensive evidence package.
When attending your consular interview, you must present:
A visa does not guarantee entry. A Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer makes the final decision at the airport.
Check Your I-94 Online
If you need to remain in the U.S. beyond your I-94 expiration date for unexpected reasons (medical, business), you must file Form I-539 (Application to Extend Status).
This must be received by USCIS before your current status expires. Wang Law PLLC can handle this time-sensitive filing to prevent you from falling “out of status.”
A denial is not always the end. If your circumstances have changed or if you need a waiver for a prior inadmissibility, we can help you re-apply.
