Do you need a background check for a US visa?

Before submitting an application for immigration to the United States, the US Immigration Service will ask the applicant to fill in some information and submit some documents. After filling in the information, sometimes the Immigration Bureau will investigate the applicant's background.

1. The American consulate will check the background.

Yes, but they are based on the information filled in. So if parents are sensitive and don't have to write truthfully, they won't find out.

The applicant is not an immigrant, but wants to go to an American language school. However, before the visa was issued, relatives in the United States told him to conduct a background check with the Immigration Bureau. There's 200 yuan to pay. How and where to handle this matter.

This is not a background check of the Immigration Bureau, but the identity of all students must be recorded in the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) of the Immigration Bureau.

SEVIS's fee is $200, which must be paid. If you don't pay this fee, you won't get 20 forms and you can't apply for a visa. You can pay by yourself on SEVIS's website or ask your relatives to pay.

3. I sent you an email from the US Immigration Bureau, informing you that the information is being processed and an interview will be held soon. How long does it take to go to the interview?

In general, applications are submitted and queued according to the application type. It varies from a few months to ten years, depending on the type of immigrants. In the meantime, queries and replies are being processed. When the waiting time is up, the Immigration Bureau will inform the applicants and craftsmen to submit the materials, and then there will be a formal waiting date. When the general materials arrive in Guangzhou, we will wait about three to four months for background investigation and then arrange an interview. During this period, the waiting time largely depends on the speed at which the applicant submits the materials.

As mentioned above, under various circumstances, the US Immigration Service may investigate the applicant's background, so companies competing to invest in the United States need to prepare relevant documents.

(1) Company registration certificate, business license and other relevant company documents;

(2) a business plan;

(3) Documents provided by other lawyers according to the requirements of the investment plan.

(4) Articles of association, articles of association, certificate of company merger, joint venture contract, limited joint venture certificate, joint venture contract, commercial trust contract, business contract, organization records and articles of association, lease, bank account certificate (indicating that the company's funds have been or will be transferred) and other similar company documents.
