USA Visa Documentation
USA Visa from Pakistan
A US visa application from Pakistan works differently from a UAE, UK, or Canada application — there's no formal attestation chain for most categories. Instead, it centers on the DS-160 form, a fee payment, and an in-person interview at the US Embassy in Islamabad or a consulate in Karachi, Lahore, or Peshawar. Pick your route below — B1/B2 Visitor or F1 Student — for a dedicated document checklist.
We provide documentation assistance and consultancy support only, for B1/B2 visitor and F1 student visa categories. We are not a US immigration attorney or accredited representative and don't file USCIS petitions (H-1B, family-based I-130) or represent you before US authorities. All applications are submitted through the US Department of State's official channels, and the final decision rests entirely with the consular officer.
Which USA Visa Do You Need?
B1/B2 Visitor Visa
Tourism, visiting family, or short business trips — the most common category for Pakistani applicants.
See USA Visitor Visa requirementsF1 Student Visa
For applicants holding a Form I-20 from a SEVP-certified US school, after paying the SEVIS I-901 fee.
See USA Student Visa requirementsWhat's Outside Document-Preparation Scope
- H-1B and other employment-based petitions — filed by your US employer with USCIS, often subject to an annual lottery
- Family-based immigrant visas — require a US citizen or resident relative to file Form I-130 with USCIS
- Diversity Visa (DV) lottery filings — eligibility is set and revised by the US State Department directly
We can help with document organization once you're already at the consular processing stage of one of these routes, but the petition-filing stage itself requires a US immigration attorney.

What determines your total cost
The MRV visa application fee and, for F1 applicants, the SEVIS I-901 fee are fixed and set directly by the US government. Our service fee is separate and depends on how much document preparation and interview-readiness support your case needs. We confirm both before you commit to anything.
