Flight itinerary for a US visa interview: proof of onward travel and hotel booking for Indian applicants
For U.S. B1/B2 and F1 applications, reservations are optional supporting evidence of your travel plans — the U.S. State Department advises not to buy final tickets before your visa is approved. Here’s what genuinely helps, and how to get it verifiably.
Quick answer — United States visa
What each document means for your United States visa
Flight reservation
For U.S. B1/B2 and F1 visas a flight reservation is not a mandatory checklist document — the State Department advises not to buy tickets before your visa is approved. If you want itinerary evidence for your DS-160 or interview, we can issue a genuine, verifiable reservation that supports (never replaces) your stated plans.
Hotel reservation
Hotel proof is likewise optional for a U.S. application — useful only to describe where you plan to stay. We issue a genuine, verifiable hotel reservation matching your intended dates, so your travel story stays consistent without paying for accommodation upfront.
Travel insurance
The US expects proof of onward travel (ESTA/visa) and an address on the DS-160; travel insurance is strongly recommended. Our policies are issued by a licensed insurer with an instant certificate for your file.

United States visa — frequently asked questions
Do I need a flight reservation for a United States visa?
Not as a mandatory checklist item. For U.S. B1/B2 and F1 visas, the State Department advises applicants not to make final travel plans or buy tickets until a visa is issued. If you want to describe a planned itinerary in your DS-160 or at the interview, we can prepare a realistic, verifiable reservation as supporting evidence only — never as “proof” the U.S. requires.
Do I need travel insurance for a United States visa?
The US expects proof of onward travel (ESTA/visa) and an address on the DS-160; travel insurance is strongly recommended.
Do I need a hotel booking for a United States visa?
It’s optional. A hotel reservation can support the travel plans you describe, but it is not a required document for a U.S. visitor or student visa application. Book refundable options, and only buy final arrangements after your visa is approved.
Are SureshotTravel's reservations real?
Yes. Every flight and hotel booking is a genuine reservation held in the airline or hotel system with a reference you can verify at the source. We never issue fake or edited PDFs.
How fast do I get the documents?
Most reservations are delivered to your inbox within minutes, ready to attach to your United States visa application.
