Qatari passport holders need a visa to enter the United States. Qatar is not in the Visa Waiver Program, so ESTA is not available. Apply for a B1/B2 visitor visa at the US Embassy in Doha. The application fee is $185 (non-refundable). Steps: complete the DS-160 form online at ceac.state.gov, pay the fee, schedule an interview at the embassy, and attend in person with your passport, DS-160 confirmation, photo, and supporting documents (bank statements, employment letter, travel itinerary).
Interview wait times at the Doha embassy run 2 to 6 weeks depending on the season. B1/B2 visas are typically issued for 10 years with multiple entries, allowing stays of up to 180 days per visit. The CBP officer at the US port of entry determines the actual admission period (usually 90 to 180 days stamped on your I-94). Have your hotel address, return ticket, and itinerary ready. Fingerprints and a photo are taken at the immigration counter.
