Indian passport holders generally need an appropriate U.S. visa before travelling to the United States. The visa category depends on the purpose of travel. B1/B2 visas are commonly used for eligible temporary business and tourism visits, F and M visas for study, J visas for approved exchange programmes, and petition-based categories such as H and L for eligible temporary employment. Applicants for most temporary U.S. visas complete Form DS-160 and may be required to attend a visa interview at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate.
U.S. nonimmigrant visa application fees depend on the visa category. Fees are generally non-refundable and may change. Additional SEVIS fees, petition-related fees or nationality-based issuance fees may apply depending on the visa category.

| B1/B2 Visitor Visa | US$185 application fee |
| B1 Business Visa | US$185 application fee |
| F-1 Student Visa | US$185 visa application fee, plus applicable SEVIS fee |

The United States offers several temporary employment visa classifications. Most employment-based nonimmigrant categories require a U.S. employer or authorised agent to complete the applicable petition process before the applicant applies for a visa.
U.S. work visa requirements vary significantly by category. Most petition-based employment visas require an employer or other qualifying petitioner, USCIS approval and a separate visa application. An approved petition does not guarantee visa issuance.
Determine the appropriate visa based on your purpose of travel, such as tourism, business, education, exchange or temporary employment.
