Bangladeshi citizens apply for US visas through the DS-160 form followed by an in-person interview at the US Embassy in Dhaka. THB VISA prepares B1/B2 and F1 applications and helps applicants present clear, consistent evidence of ties to Bangladesh — the most common reason visitor visas are refused under Section 214(b).

Visa Categories

Which US Visa Do You Need?

B1 Business Visa

Document Checklist

What You'll Typically Need

This is a general checklist — your coordinator confirms the exact document set for your specific case and helps you prepare for the interview itself, which matters as much as the paperwork.

Common Refusal Reasons

What Trips Up US Visa Applications

  1. 214(b) — insufficient ties to Bangladesh — the officer isn't convinced you'll return after your trip, based on the overall picture presented.
  2. Inconsistent or vague interview answers — responses that don't align with the DS-160 form or supporting documents.
  3. Unclear purpose of travel — travel plans that seem vague, open-ended, or inconsistent with the visa category.
  4. Incomplete financial documentation — for F1 applicants especially, funding that doesn't clearly cover the full study period.
Frequently Asked Questions

USA Visa — Common Questions

What is a 214(b) refusal for a US visa?

Section 214(b) is the most common ground for US visitor visa refusal. It means the consular officer wasn't convinced the applicant has strong enough ties to Bangladesh to guarantee they'll return after their trip, rather than a specific document being wrong.

Do I need to attend an interview for a US visa?

Yes, in almost all cases. Most US visa applicants, including B1/B2 and F1 categories, are required to attend an in-person interview at the US Embassy in Dhaka.

What documents prove strong ties to Bangladesh for a US visa?

Common evidence includes stable employment with an employer letter, property ownership, family circumstances, and a clear, consistent travel and financial history — presented as a coherent picture, not just a checklist of documents.

How long does US visa processing take from Bangladesh?

Interview wait times and processing vary and are published by the US Embassy in Dhaka. A coordinator confirms the current estimate at the time of scheduling.

What's required for a US F1 student visa?

An F1 applicant needs a Form I-20 from a SEVP-certified US institution, proof of SEVIS fee payment, and evidence of funds to cover tuition and living costs for the study period.

Can THB VISA help after a previous US visa refusal?

Yes. We review the refusal record, help strengthen the ties-to-Bangladesh evidence and application consistency, and prepare you thoroughly for the interview before reapplying.
