Application & interview process

DS-160 Form Completion & US Embassy Interview Slot Tracking

Every B1/B2 applicant must complete the online DS-160 form accurately before booking a mandatory in-person interview at the US Embassy. Errors on the form or a poorly prepared interview are among the most common reasons for refusal under Section 214(b).

Accurate DS-160 Submission

We complete your DS-160 form field by field, cross-checking every entry against your passport and travel history to avoid the inconsistencies that commonly trigger refusals or interview delays.

Interview Appointment Tracking

US Embassy interview wait times fluctuate significantly across UK consulate locations. We monitor available interview slots and guide you toward the earliest realistic appointment date.

Common refusal reasons

Why B1/B2 Applications Are Refused Under Section 214(b)

The majority of B1/B2 refusals happen at the interview stage, not on paperwork alone. Consular officers assess whether you have sufficiently strong ties to the UK to demonstrate that your visit is genuinely temporary.

Weak evidence of ties to the UK, inconsistent DS-160 answers, and unprepared interview responses are the leading causes of B1/B2 refusals. GoSchengen reviews your full profile and prepares you for the exact questions consular officers commonly ask before your interview.

Frequently asked questions

USA B1/B2 Visa FAQs

Yes. Almost all first-time B1/B2 applicants must attend an in-person interview at a US Embassy or Consulate as part of the standard application process.

British citizens holding a full UK passport can typically travel to the US for short visits under the Visa Waiver Program (ESTA). Our services are for UK residents holding non-EU passports who require a full B1/B2 visa.

Section 214(b) presumes every applicant intends to immigrate unless they can demonstrate strong ties to their home country. Most B1/B2 refusals happen under this section, making thorough interview preparation critical.
