Applying for a US visa in Serbia

Updated 17.09.2026 · 2 min read

For a trip to the United States, three things need to fit together: the right visa category, an eligible place of application and a clear travel purpose. Serbian residence is part of your residence history, not an independent basis for approval.

1. Which visa we are considering
2. Can you apply in Belgrade?
3. Documents and steps
4. What often weakens an application

B1/B2 categories are intended for short business and tourist visits. Employment and full-time study require a different visa route. Before completing the form, establish exactly what you intend to do in the US, who will pay and how long you will stay.

Before paying the fee, check the current place-of-application rules for your nationality and residence status, as well as appointment availability. Do not assume that any trip to Serbia automatically provides convenient access to an interview.

Waiting for an available appointment, processing after the interview and passport delivery are separate stages. If the trip is tied to a conference or family event, allow extra preparation time.

1. We gather accurate information about employment, income, travel, family and previous visa applications.
2. We complete the DS-160, check the photograph and save the confirmation.
3. We check the payment and appointment procedure for the chosen consulate. The basic B1/B2 fee is 185 dollars; any additional charges are checked separately.
4. We prepare the passport, confirmations and material explaining the purpose and funding of the trip and your circumstances.
5. We prepare for the interview: brief, consistent answers based on real facts, without a memorised fictional story.

• The form states one job or purpose, while the documents show another.
• There is a large deposit in the account, but the source of the funds is unexplained.
• A previous refusal or significant trip has been omitted from the history.
• The plans involve employment although a tourist category has been selected.

There is no universal B1/B2 requirement to pass an English-language or US history test. It is more important to prepare truthful information and understand your own trip.

We will help make your circumstances clear and consistent by checking the form, documents and explanation of purpose. A thick file or a polished story cannot substitute for the consulate's decision.

We will review your starting position, set out the steps and prepare a cost estimate. You will receive a scope of services, indicative timing and a clear next step.
