What documents are required for a United States visa?
For a United States visa, you'll typically need: Valid passport + all previous passports; DS-160 online application form + confirmation page; MRV fee receipt (USD 185 / ~₹15,725); Photo per US State Dept specs (5x5 cm, white background); Last 6 months bank statements; ITR for last 3 years.

How much bank balance is needed for a United States visa?
There is no official fixed amount, but a healthy, stable balance across your last 6 months' statements is strongly recommended for a United States visa. Visank advises on the ideal figure for your specific trip and drafts a supporting cover letter.
Do I need travel insurance for a United States visa?
Travel insurance is required for most United States applications. Visank can arrange a compliant policy that meets the embassy's minimum coverage, so you don't have to source it yourself.
Do I need to book flights and hotels before applying for a United States visa?
No, never book real tickets before approval. Visank provides free, embassy-accepted verifiable flight and hotel reservations for your United States application. You only book real travel once the visa is granted.
Is biometrics required for a United States visa?
A United States visa is handled via the embassy/consulate; Visank guides you through each step.
