Business meetings, conferences, and commercial activities — expert DOS (US Embassy Colombo)-compliant applications managed by our specialist team in Colombo.
The B-1 Business Visa allows Sri Lankan professionals to visit the USA for business meetings, conferences, negotiations, and short-term training. The B-1 does not permit employment in the US. Most applicants receive a combined B-1/B-2 visa covering both business and tourist activities with 10-year multiple-entry validity.
Our team prepares Sri Lankan applicants for every stage: DS-160 completion, interview coaching, financial documentation, and petition management for employment-based categories.
Our consultants maintain current, working knowledge of U.S. Department of State & U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services requirements — not outdated general advice. Every United States Business Visa application we submit is reviewed by a senior specialist before filing.
Three reasons our United States Business Visa clients consistently achieve results.
Business visa applications require the right combination of personal and corporate documents. We know what each destination's consulate is looking for and structure your file to address every requirement directly.
Business travel runs on fixed deadlines. Meetings, conferences, and contracts cannot be rescheduled around slow visa applications, so we treat every business visa case with urgency.
We handle business visas across all six of our destination countries, with country-specific knowledge of what documentation and purpose statements work best.
A clear four-step process from your first enquiry to visa grant.
We help you clearly document the business purpose of your visit. Whether you are attending meetings, conferences, negotiations, or site inspections, we present your case in a format the visa officer will find credible.
We review your invitation letter from the host company to confirm it meets the destination's specific requirements. If anything is missing, we flag it before submission.
We prepare your complete business visa application covering financial documentation, employer letters, supporting business evidence, and the application form, ready for accurate submission.
We submit your application through the correct channel and monitor its progress, making sure you have your visa well ahead of your travel date.
