Up to ten years' validity
Visa validity is set by reciprocity with your country of nationality; many applicants receive ten years.
US B1/B2 Visitor Visa
10 Year USA Visa
Guided preparation for the US B1/B2 visitor visa — issued for up to ten years with multiple entries to eligible nationalities.
Overview
One application, a decade of travel
The B1/B2 is the United States' visa for temporary business and tourism. For many nationalities it is issued with a validity of up to ten years and multiple entries, which means one successful application can cover a decade of meetings, conferences, family visits and holidays.
Approval rests on a short consular interview and the accuracy of your DS-160 form. We help you get both right: a complete, consistent application and a calm, well-prepared interview.

Benefits
What the B1/B2 visa allows
A flexible visa for people who expect to visit the United States more than once.
Multiple entries
Travel to the US repeatedly on the same visa for as long as it — and your purpose of travel — remains valid.
Business and leisure
Attend meetings, negotiate contracts and join conferences (B1), or travel for tourism and family visits (B2).
Stays of up to six months
The length of each stay is decided by the officer at the port of entry, typically up to six months.
Medical travel
The B2 category also covers travel to the United States for medical treatment.
Family applications
We prepare spouses and children together so that their applications tell one consistent story.
Eligibility
What a consular officer looks for
There is no points system. The officer forms a view of your circumstances as a whole — these are the elements that carry the most weight.
- A passport valid for at least six months beyond your intended stay
- A genuine, temporary purpose of travel — business, tourism, family or medical
- Strong ties to your country of residence: employment, business, property or family
- Evidence that you can fund the trip without working in the United States
- A clear intention to leave the US at the end of your visit
- A truthful travel and immigration history, including any prior refusals

FAQ
Questions we are asked most
If yours is not here, ask us directly — an advisor will reply within one working day.
Is a ten-year visa guaranteed?
No. Validity depends on the reciprocity schedule between the United States and your country of nationality, and on the consular officer's decision. Many nationalities receive ten years with multiple entries; some receive shorter validity. We confirm what applies to your passport during the assessment.
Can Legacy Global Advisory guarantee approval?
No one can. Visa decisions are made solely by US consular officers. What we can do is make sure your application is complete, accurate and consistent, and that you are well prepared for the interview.
Can I apply from the UAE if I am not an Emirati citizen?
Yes. UAE residents of any nationality can apply at the US Embassy in Abu Dhabi or the US Consulate General in Dubai. You will generally be expected to show your UAE residence status and ties.
How long does the process take?
Preparing the application usually takes a few days. Interview wait times vary through the year and by post, so we check current availability when you engage us and plan around your travel dates.
How long can I stay in the US on each visit?
The visa lets you travel to a US port of entry. The officer there decides the length of each stay, which is commonly up to six months. A ten-year visa does not permit you to live in the United States.
My visa was refused before. Can I reapply?
Yes. A previous refusal does not bar a new application, but it must be declared. We review what happened, what has changed since, and whether the timing is right to apply again.
Are government fees included in your service fee?
No. The official visa application fee is paid directly through the US government's payment channel and is non-refundable. Our advisory fee is quoted separately.
Legacy Global Advisory is a private advisory firm. We are not affiliated with the US Department of State or any government agency, and we do not issue visas. Visa issuance, validity and length of stay are decided solely by US authorities.
