The visa categories depend on the purpose of the trip or visit to the United States, so it is possible to apply for two visas at the same time as long as the eligibility criteria are met.
The Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) issues various types of nonimmigrant visas that allow foreigners to travel or work temporarily in the United States. However, the category and type of visa depends on the purpose of the trip, for example, athletes can apply for a B-1 visa category, or exchange visitors can get a J visa. There are several multiple categories that are very specific about the purpose of the trip or temporary stay in the country.
In this sense, it is possible to apply for two different types of visa at the same time. To do this, it is necessary to apply for both visas and fill out the forms corresponding to each one and schedule a single appointment at the Consulate or Embassy. But for this it is necessary to enter the website or communicate by phone to pay the Machine Readable Visa (MRV) fee and schedule an appointment for only one of the two types of visa. When attending the appointment, it is necessary to have all the documentation of the request for the type of visa scheduled and in the same way to carry the additional documents and the payment of the second type of visa without a scheduled appointment.

In this way, during the appointment it will be important to follow the instructions of the agent to consult and complete the application process for the second type of visa, as well as the MRV charge.
An important aspect to take into account when submitting applications for one or more visas is to have and present various documents to the appointment that prove the purpose or intention of the trip, this will facilitate the work of the consulting officers when making a decision on approval. of the visa.
