American visa for elderly parents, can others accompany them?

Yes, you can. The whole process of accompanying parents to apply for American visa:

1 Fill in the form

This step of filling in the form is no different from before. Still filling out forms and uploading photos on ceac.state.gov/genniv/ website. For details, please refer to "Fill in the Form" in the latest Vancouver visa application process in June165438+1October, 2008. It should be pointed out that:

-One application form for each adult, that is, two formal application forms for both parents.

-Use the "Test Photo" function to upload photos of each parent before filling out the form to see if the photos meet the requirements.

-Every time you fill out the application form, you will get an application ID and ask a security question (such as your grandmother's name). This ID is very important, so it's better to keep it separately. Because there are many questions to be answered in the process of filling out the form, if you can't finish it that day, you can click "Save" to save the application form. The next time you fill in the form, you can call out the unfinished form and continue to fill it out.

-Be sure to print out the confirmation page (the one with the barcode) after filling it out. This is a document that must be carried with you during the interview. The form itself can be printed. If you are worried that you will forget all the contents filled in, you can also print it out and back it up yourself.

2 make an appointment

After filling out the form, make an appointment for an interview on the new American visa booking website: usvisa-info.com/en-CA/...vice/login. If your parents' nationality is China, please note that when you fill in the nationality, you must change it to China, and Canada is the default. Select the visa type: business or leisure tourist visa (B- 1/B-2), and select the city (DHL branch) where you want to get your passport/visa, and then enter simple information such as name, gender, phone number, email address and confirmation number on the confirmation page. After entering, the system will display the earliest available time (usually 7: 00 a.m. or 8: 00 a.m. on a certain day), and then enter the page of selecting specific time, and you will see many morning and afternoon times to choose from. After choosing the time, you can click "Add Family Members" to add another person's information, and then pay the visa fee for two people online by credit card (now it is $65,438 +060 per person). Print out the appointment information letter after payment, and show it to the embassy staff at the door on the day of the interview.

3 interview

The letter of appointment will list in detail the materials that need to be prepared during the interview and various precautions. If you are accompanying your parents to apply for a visa to the United States, it is best for one of your children to prepare the employment letter, salary table, assessment notice, bank statement and your passport issued by the company (citizens only need to bring their passports, and immigrants need to bring their passports and maple leaf cards). One parent prepares a passport, and if he has emigrated, he must bring a maple leaf card. If he has an account in the bank, he must bring a bank statement.
