goFLY Limited — a trusted visa processing agency in Bangladesh — provides comprehensive support for US visa applications from Bangladesh. Our experienced team assists with Nonimmigrant categories including Visitor (B1/B2), Student (F-1/M-1), Exchange (J-1), and provides advisory for Family/Fiancé (IV/K) steps.
Any kind of job/work visas (e.g., H-1B, L-1, O-1, EB-3). Work visas require employer-sponsored petitions with USCIS-approved I-797 before visa application. Any agency promising "guaranteed work visa" without legitimate employer sponsorship is running a scam.
US visa from Bangladesh, US visa form Bangladesh (DS-160), USA visit visa requirements from Bangladesh, USA student visa from Bangladesh, fees, photo 2×2, and CEAC/U.S. Travel Docs tracking.

📊 Realistic Bangladesh Approval Rate (Official Data)
US B1/B2 visa approval varies heavily by interview performance and profile strength. No official Bangladesh-specific rate is published; interview preparation and documentation quality are the biggest levers.
goFLY's difference: We decline 50+ weak applications every year during free consultations — because approval for us means selecting the right cases AND building the right documents. Our 90%+ rate on accepted cases is what happens AFTER our pre-assessment filters out high-risk profiles.
| Topic | Details |
|---|---|
| Forms | DS-160 for NIV; DS-260 for Immigrant (IV) |
| Portals | CEAC (DS-160 + status), U.S. Travel Docs (profile, MRV, appointment) |
| Interview venue | U.S. Embassy, Dhaka; passport return via designated courier/pick-up |
| Biometrics | Taken at Embassy during interview (ten-print + photo) |
| Passport | Valid, undamaged, 1+ blank page |
| Medical | Panel physician exam required for IV/K only (not B/F/J) |
| Insurance | Not mandatory for B1/B2, but strongly recommended |
| No e-Visa/VOA | U.S. doesn't offer e-Visa or visa on arrival for Bangladeshis |
The B1/B2 Visa is the most common visa type for Bangladeshi travelers visiting the United States for business (B1) or tourism/medical treatment (B2).
Consistency wins. Your DS-160, cover letter, employer leave letter, bank statements, and itinerary should all tell the same story. Contradictions raise red flags and lead to refusals.
The visa itself doesn't mandate IELTS. Your school sets English requirements — waivers and alternative tests vary by institution. Focus on meeting your specific school's admission requirements.
Standard decisions are targeted within weeks; some cases face 221(g) administrative processing which can extend timelines significantly.
We do not process any job/work visas. We can only provide high-level information. Employer-sponsored petitions must be approved (I-797) before visa application.
Extremely long queues. Plan for extended wait times spanning many years.
Typically F-1 from a SEVP-certified school + U.S. guardian/arrangements. Evidence of tuition and living funds required.

Yes. The U.S. has no airside transit — all passengers must clear immigration. Apply for C-1 (transit) or a suitable visa category for your final destination.
Interview waivers exist but are limited and policy-dependent. Check U.S. Travel Docs notices for current eligibility criteria. Most applicants still require in-person interviews.
No. We do not process any job/work visas or arrange employment. Work visas require employer-sponsored petitions with USCIS-approved I-797 before visa application. We only provide high-level information.
Not unless you hold a passport from an E-2 treaty country. Bangladesh is not an E-2 treaty nation. Consider immigrant investment (EB-5) which has different rules and high capital thresholds.
