I'm needing any information on what needs to be submitted for the B-2. What forms, what documentation needed or that would be helpful.
B2 visa is kinda tricky as the major responsibility goes to the person overseas, the most criteria for the visitor visa is going to be based on the consulate being convince that the person will go back to their country after the visit. Here's a sample of the letter i sent to my sister in law from india to come to visit us.
United States Consulate General
