All You Need To Know About Us Tourist Visa(b-2) ,and The Psyche Of Visa Officers. by Gbenge77(m): 5:50pm On Apr 19, 2011 |
A B-2 visa is required by people who want to travel to the U.s as tourists.The maximum period of stay is 6-months in any particular year.For example,A 10 year B-2 visa allows you to stay for a period of(theoretically) 6 months in year 1 6 months in year 2(please dont repeat this every year,you may have problems). 6 months in year 10. A B-2 visa is a non-immigrant visa(NIV) which means the candidate does not intend to immigrate to the US.An applicant has to schedule an interview at the U.s consulate in their domain.Many ,usually travel to the U.s mostly during summer(April-October).Its advisable to book an appointment as early as possible. The Visa officers are rigorously trained by the U.S government before being assigned to different embassies around the world.Sometimes,the spouses of the V.O's also work in the same embassy. The visa officer's learn about the psychology of the visa seekers by interviewing different candidates for U.s visas.This learning process provides the visa officers with a fair idea about a potential candidate's motive. Since they are human,they could possibly reject visa's for genuine candidates.Also,multiple short trips in a year may have consequences,like,being denied entry to the U.S ,warning or strict cautioning,or reducing the duration of stay in the U.S A pointer about the PSYCHE of visa officers: 1.They dont forget liars.(Their Database has information about lying candidates). 2.They dont forgive liars. 3.They can sense fear(if you observe any visa interview,you can always figure it out). 4.They dont like their decisions questioned)if you are denied a visa,keep quiet and leave.Any abusive action goes into your record and could be used against you.Its just like a U.S cop giving you a speeding ticket;take it and do not react unless asked. 5.They make quick decisions. 6.They do make their judgements,quickly. 7.They are honest gatekeepers to the U.s,and act in the best interest of the U.S and not the visa seeker. 8.More frequently than not,the make correct decisions. 9.They are fair and balanced(unless you misbehave). REASONS FOR SUCCESSFUL B-2 INTERVIEWS. The following are the reasons for a succesful Visa interview. 1.Candidate was truthful and confident in his or her answers to the V.O. 2.Candidate has a good,valid and truthful reason to travel to the U.S(Tourism and visiting the kids) . 3.Candidate has sufficient ties (and the consular officer must find his answers convincing) back home which proves that he will return home within 6 months. 4.Candidate has a good idea about his/her destination in the U.S 5.Candidate has got sufficient funds and properties in his home country which would not portray him as a poverty stricken fellow ,who might want to remain in the U.S,permanently,for better living conditions .Candidate did not appear hell-bent on getting a VISA to the U.S. 6.Most important: The Visa Officer is convinced that the candidate is sincere and truthful in his answers .He believes the candidate intends to visit the U.s for tourism only,and not for some other petty jobs(candidate does not intend to work in the U.s) |
