Two passport-sized photos are required, which need to be taken within 6 months of applying for the visa application.

This form is used as part of an electronic application process at most US Embassies or Consulates and provides biographic information about each applicant.
4. Visa Fees:
A non-refundable fee is charged for a B1/B2 visa application, which can either be paid online or at the embassy or consulate.

Documents that verify travel plans are needed to apply for a B1/B2 visa, such as airline tickets, hotel reservations, and any other information on expenses during the stay.
