In order to ensure the success rate of visiting relatives in the United States, American inviters are advised to provide the following b2 visa materials:

2. Bank deposit certificates issued by American relatives and friends (copy is invalid);

3. The employers of relatives and friends in the United States or the materials provided by the employers to prove their positions, tenure and monthly income, and the recent tax payment certificates provided by relatives and friends;

Fourth, the financial guarantee signed by relatives and friends in the United States, that is, the I- 134 form, is uniformly issued by the Immigration Bureau. After signing, the guarantor must also be certified by the local notary office. Tips of professional consultants: The above materials are basic materials, but they are not complete, and can really help applicants get visas smoothly. For example, the income of American inviters is too low to show tax payment certificates. Other documents also depend on the specific situation to decide whether to show them to the visa officer.
