What information do I need to apply for a non-immigrant visa in the United States?

A: Declaration Form:

1, 156 forms need to be filled in online. If your English is not very good, you'd better have your children fill it out and send it to you by mail or post office.

Form 2, 157, you don't need to fill it online, you can fill it out slowly by yourself. Of course, it is best to have your child fill it out and send it to you by mail or post office. (It must be printed by computer, not filled in manually) The specific requirements of the above two forms are detailed on the Internet.

B: materials that children need to prepare:

1, invitation letter,

2. invitation letter from the company,

3. Copy of passport,

4. Copy of work or study visa,

5. Copy of payroll and bank deposit certificate,

6. Resume 7. Copy of marriage certificate,

8. Copy of graduation diploma,

9. Copy of real estate license

C: the materials you need to prepare:

1.50 * 50 * 50mm photo with white background 1 piece, used for pasting on the 156 form. Before pasting, use a ruler to measure whether it meets the requirements.

2, passport,

3. Visa payment invoice,

4. Family photos and children graduation photo,

5. ID card

6, household registration book, real estate license, retirement certificate with spare, mostly unnecessary. The above three sets of data should be packed in three transparent plastic folders respectively.

Second, the visa appointment time:

Older people had better buy a 12 minute (54 yuan) card, so that we can discuss it over the phone. It's best to make an appointment for the visa in the afternoon (you can ask yourself), so you don't have to take the morning and evening train to get the visa.

3. Get off at West Railway Station, take Bus No.9 and get off at Yong 'anli. Go straight through the underground passage, and then go straight ahead. At the crossroads, there is a branch of Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant Xiushui Street, behind which is the visa office. You can spend 50 yuan to find a private house to have a rest, so you can leave your bag and mobile phone at their home when you apply for a visa (such housing visa offices are everywhere). You can go to the visa office to get familiar with the environment when you have time. It is enough to have a rest and have a meal and come back to the visa office one hour in advance. At that time, someone will lead you to the visa, and there is nothing wrong with following everyone step by step.

Enter the visa hall, hand in the form 156, 157, get a lottery ticket, line up with your fingerprints, and then wait in line for your visa. The following is my conversation with the visa officer (my wife is responsible for obtaining information) for your reference. Visa officer; XXX (call my name) Me: Hello! This kind of greeting is very important, on the one hand, it shows our politeness, on the other hand, it also relieves our nervousness of standing for more than an hour. Thank you. Did you go to see your son? Yes, we are retired. We have time to travel to America. Interviewer: Where is your son in America? I: XXXX。 Reporter: Do you have any information about your son? I: Yes, can I give it to you? Interviewer: OK, give him your son's information, and the visa officer will finish it soon. Me: Your Mandarin is really good. Interviewer: Thank you. Do you have a picture of your son? Me: Yes (hand in a family photo and your son's graduation photo). The visa officer checked your son's photo with his passport photo. Interviewer: How long have you been in America? I: 3 or 4 months. Interviewer: You passed. Me: Thank you. Take this note to the waiting hall to go through the mailing formalities. All right. During the whole visa process, we should adopt a normal attitude. After all, our children have obtained visas in the United States, which is related to their future and destiny. For us, it's just to visit their children in America and have fun. Signing in is of course the best, but it doesn't matter if they don't sign in. I wonder if the above will help my friends of the same age to visit relatives in the United States.
