Duration of American tourist visa

American tourist visas are still difficult for many tourists. After all, the visa needs to be evaluated by the interviewer, and the information and materials needed are complicated. The following is a list of the stay time of American tourist visas.

Some people say that after Trump took office, the probability that the United States refused to sign became higher. Recently, I also heard that someone around me was refused a tourist visa.

I applied for a tourist visa to the United States twice before, and this time I applied for it for my family, but it was an administrative review, which is what we usually call being investigated. Fortunately, it was successfully released in the end. Let's summarize the application process, hoping to give you some reference.

1, preliminary preparation

Passport: Of course, you must have a passport to apply for a visa (preferably more than one year, at least half a year).

Photo: I went to the photo studio and said I would use it to apply for a US tourist visa. (Online form filling requires uploading an electronic version)

2. Fill in the DS- 160 form.

Log in to the US Visa Center _zh/index.html? First time = No.

First, complete the registration of personal information (passport number and application must be verified

ID), then follow the steps until the payment is made, and then go to CITIC's website to pay online.

5. Make an appointment at noon on15, and you can make an appointment at 5.2 1 at the earliest, which is about a week later. (Monday to Friday, it seems that it is 8 o'clock in the morning at the earliest and 4 or 5 o'clock in the afternoon at the latest)

4. Interview with the American Consulate in Guangzhou

Is the reservation time at 13:30 pm (this time refers to the time of arriving at the consulate, not the time of starting the face-to-face interview), or is it half an hour earlier (13:00) (in the case of the subway, it is at the exit B of Zhujiang New Town, B 1? )。

At the entrance, you will see many aunts there. They will come and ask: Do you need a visa? One person or two people?

I saw these people instinctively walk away and ignored them. Later, it was found that they were helping them take care of things, because backpacks and electronic products were not allowed to be brought in, and non-immigrant visas could not take care of the contents (immigrant visas could).

Fortunately, I am an escort. I will take care of things and wait outside. In addition, the appointment time is not strictly controlled. As long as there are not many people, you can go straight in. For example, if you make an appointment at 4 o'clock, you can enter at 13:00.

Wait outside the American consulate

There are not too many people, and it takes about 1 hour and 40 minutes from queuing in to finally coming out, so in order to save time, you can choose the earliest time to make an appointment in the morning or afternoon.

When I saw a small yellow-looking note, my passport was taken away, and I thought it had passed. I didn't know it was a "refusal" until I got it in my hand. The color of the paper was originally yellow-green, and it said, "According to American immigration and international law,

Clause 22 1(g), your visa was refused due to administrative processing, as shown in the following figure.

List of suspicious yellow notes

At that moment, I felt hopeless and was rejected, so I quickly checked the internet to see what was going on. I checked and found that this is an AP that many people will encounter, that is, I checked it. Generally, there are many visas for sensitive occupations or studying abroad. Not many questions were asked during the interview. Have you ever been to America? Is it a civil servant?

Do you think civil servants will be inspected and afraid to stay in the United States?

Step 4 wait for AP

I looked up a lot about AP on the Internet, all of them are waiting, and the probability of getting a visa after checking is not low, but most of them are one year. The waiting process is always anxious, and I go to CEAC's website every day to check the status. I told my family in the United States the day after the face-to-face interview, and then the next day they said they had received a phone call from the consulate in China, saying that the important documents had not been received. I thought this was the work of administrative reconsideration, but later I thought it was wrong. I'm reviewing things in the United States, so I won't let the China consulate call, so I'll keep waiting. On May 25th, the update information of CEAC suddenly appeared, and the time was updated to 5.25, but the status was still AP. I checked online, and many people said that they would send updates the next day, but they never came out. . . Then check on the visa reservation website, showing that the passport was in the consulate at first, and then it became stateless. . . What the hell is this? . . Check online again, everyone says this is probably the rhythm that will be sent soon, and some people say that I haven't seen a pervert for a long time after this statelessness.

By the way, the website of the query status is _ zh/cn-_ zh/cn-NIV-Passporttrack.asp.

Direct tracking of passport status

Some people say that the inquiry of official WeChat account of CITIC Bank is the most timely. My personal experience is:

The status of the passport before it is sent to CITIC Bank outlets should be that the latter two should be the most real-time; The update of passport arrival information at CITIC Bank outlets should be timely for the official account of CITIC Bank WeChat.

Finally, go to the CITIC Bank outlet to get the original passport. You only need to bring your ID card to collect it. You need a copy of your ID card, a power of attorney (the template can be downloaded from the visa reservation website) and the original ID card of the agent.

Fill in the claim form at the outlet, and then equal the sign normally. There were few people in the morning, and it took ten minutes before and after.

The advertisement given by the counter staff

Before I got my passport, I was worried that my passport could only be granted for one year. As a result, it has been approved for ten years (meaning that I can still get 10 years after being checked, depending on the reason for being checked), and there is no clear word on my passport.

According to the official guidelines, fill in the required information and plan the interview time in advance. I believe everyone can get a ten-year tourist visa. I hope everyone can succeed.
