Where is the strongest strategy for applying for a US business visa?

First, let's take a look at the frequently asked questions about American business visas:

1. How long should I apply for a visa in advance if I want to go to the United States?

Please apply as early as possible before the scheduled departure date. Because the number of applicants is not fixed, the waiting time for interview is not the same, ranging from a few days to weeks. (It is best to consult the time in advance before making specific arrangements)

2. How does the visa officer decide to approve or reject the applicant's visa?

Article 2 14 (b) of the Immigration Law and the Nationality Law stipulates that:

When applying for entry, every foreigner must be able to convince consular officials that he has non-immigrant qualifications, otherwise he will be regarded as an immigrant.

To meet the requirements of non-immigrant visa, you must be able to convince the consul that you have the binding force to return to China as scheduled, otherwise you will be refused a visa according to law.

3. If the visa is refused on the basis of Article 2 14 (b), can the visa be refused? How long is the interval?

No, if you have new materials that were not examined by the visa officer when you first applied, or if your overall situation has changed significantly compared with the last refusal, and you can establish a convincing relationship outside the United States, you can apply for a visa again. There is no time limit for reapplying for a visa, and you can make an appointment for an interview at any time.

4. What is a firm "binding force"?

Strong "binding force" varies from country to country, from city to individual. "Binding force" refers to all kinds of relationships that force you to live in the motherland or somewhere, such as your property, occupation, social and family relationships.

It is said that when applying for a visa, traveling is better than traveling or visiting relatives. Is it true?/You don't say.

Not necessarily. You should apply according to your actual situation. If it meets the requirements, the binding force in China can overturn the assumption of "immigration tendency" and get the corresponding visa.

6. Will it help me if I ask a senior official or an American friend to contact the visa officer after my visa is rejected?

It's no use. American law gives overseas visa officers the power to issue and refuse visas. The final decision on visa cases is in the hands of visa officers. Moreover, American law does not allow the visa officer's power to be influenced by the outside world. Applicants should prove their relationship with China through new materials and change the visa officer's decision.

7. If I am a foreigner living in China, can I apply for a non-immigrant visa in Guangzhou?

Foreigners can apply for non-immigrant visas, but such applicants must have legal residency in China (foreigner residence permit or work visa) and have lived in China for at least 1 year. Applicants must prove that they will definitely return to China after a short stay in China.

8. Why is the interview time so short that the visa officer only asked me one or two questions and refused my application without reading the documents?

Visa officers handle thousands of visa applications every year. With experience, they can quickly check other supporting materials on the form to reduce problems.

9. When I applied for a visa, I told the visa officer that I would definitely return to China after a short stay in the United States. Why doesn't the visa officer believe me?

The visa officer must weigh your overall situation before deciding whether to grant you a visa. Although my oral statement is helpful to get a visa, according to American law, oral guarantee alone cannot prove the conditions of your visa.

10. The document I submitted was prepared as required, but it was rejected. What documents do I need to bring?

Submitting documents does not explain the problem, but the overall situation shown in the documents does not refute your assumption that you are inclined to immigrate. Remember, American law assumes that you are inclined to emigrate, and you must be able to prove that your overall situation forces you to leave the United States for home after your visit to the United States.

1 1. Why are American visas so strict?

America is an open society. Tourists in China are not controlled like other countries, such as forcing tourists to register with the local government. In order to let foreigners travel in the United States without any burden, foreigners have the responsibility to prove that they will leave the United States and return to China before obtaining a business or tourist visa. American immigration law requires visa officers to regard every applicant as having an intention to immigrate unless the applicant can prove that he has no such purpose.

12. Attention!

When you leave the United States for home, please don't forget to return the white departure card I- 94W in your passport to the Department of Homeland Security [FS:PAGE], which means that your departure will be accurately recorded. This will make full preparations for your next visa or entry.
