English Winners. Do you want to travel or do business in the United States? Then
you will need a non-immigrant visa. So, here is how to get a non-immigrant visa
to the US:
A non-immigrant visa is important for traveling or doing short-term business
things. You can also use it for things like medical procedures or non-
professional sporting events. Step 1: let's find out if you even need a visa.
to travel or do business in the U.S. There are around 38 countries that have
exemptions, where all you need to do is show up in the United States with your
passport and you can travel in the United States for up to 90 days. So check
out the list. If any of your countries are on this list,
get your passport, buy your plane ticket and come on over to the USA for your
vacation.
Like I said, if you're a citizen of any of those 38 countries, you are good. If
not? Too bad. Let's move on to step two. Step two: find out what kind of visa you
need. There's usually B-1 or B-2 visas for these kinds of purposes. A B-1 visa is
for business things, like meeting business partners in the United States,
going to a conference, settling an estate, dealing with contracts... things like that.
And a B-2 visa is for people who are going on vacation, doing tourism, or - if
they're participating in a non-professional sports event that they
are not getting paid for - or if they're attending merely a social event. For
those things ,you need a B-2 visa. Step 3: whatever country you live in, I want you
to go to the website for the US Embassy in your country. Now you do this to find
out what papers you need to get your visa. Some of those requirements... some of
those documents... may be different depending on which country you live in.
However, there are some things that you will be required to have, no matter what
country you live in, and here they are. You will need to go
online and complete the non-immigrant visa application form. That's called the
DS-160. You will also need a passport-style photo of yourself
A visa application fee, which is, usually, a pretty small amount of money.
And, of course, you will need to schedule your visa interview. This is where you
will talk to someone who works in the consular department of
the U.S. embassy. Consular services... those are the people who make the decision
whether or not you can go to the U.S., so very important to make a good impression
on these people, yes? Step four: you will need to bring
everything I just mentioned, as well as any documents the US Embassy in your
country - their website - says you need, to a Visa Application Center. Now, the Visa
Application Center may be in the capital city of your country at the Embassy, or
the US State Department might have a consular office or a mission post
somewhere closer to where you live, and usually in a major city, where you
can go and do application for a visa. You will have to look that up yourself
because I don't know which country you live in. During the interview, you have to be
ready to discuss the following points: The purpose of your trip.
What city do you plan to visit and why? Who are you visiting?
What do you do for a living? A detailed explanation of your job or of what you
do on a daily basis. That will help the consular office understand your
situation. 3: You will need to discuss your direct family. You will have to
answer questions about your family life, like, "Are you married or single?" "Do you
have children?" "Grandchildren?" "Does your family have visas?" And, for students who
are still in the process of building their career, it's important to speak
about your degree program, your courses, and your plans for the future. You may
want to also assemble some documents. You know, bring extra documents with you that
prove the things you say. This could be your degree. This could be your bank
statements. It could be your birth certificate... anything that can help prove
what you say is true. Now, the consular officer might not ask
those questions; it depends on where you are and what the policies are. But, it's
good to have them with you just in case, ok? Now do not... do not.... do NOT create fake
documents, or buy fake documents. That may prevent you from ever getting a visa to
the U.S., or a lot of other countries. The consular officers frown on that activity,
right? They don't like it. So don't do that. If you are in an unsafe country, or
a situation where you cannot get the documents you need, you may just need to
be a refugee of a country closer to where you currently are. The closer a
country is to your current country, the more cultural things you are going
to share with them, so it will be easier to adjust
to a newer life. From there, you can work with that country's government, get
documents, build a case, and from there, maybe you can get the paperwork and the
documents you need to one day get a visa to the United States. That's what I would
advise, and I think that's what many consular officers would advise as well.
If I'm wrong, please tell me, okay? I really want to know. I hope this helps
you. If it did, please tell me down in the comments below. And if you need any more
info, I left a link in the description below that has most of the information I
just said. But if you need a little bit more information, that website can
certainly help you, okay? To review, you need to: step one, see if any of the
countries that are on that list are a country that you're living in. If they're
not, continue to step two, where you determine whether you need a b1 or b2
visa. Step 3, apply for an interview and get all the documents you need, and step
4... you go to the interview, bringing your documents, and be ready to
answer questions about your family your career plans... where you live... and things
of that nature. I've included a link to another playlist
and one more video I think you might like. So I will see you over on those
lessons.
