... have been to America, what should I do now if I want to get a ten-year visa?

Online application, payment and face-to-face signing

1. Complete the application for DS- 160 electronic form.

Enter the visa page to find out your "business/tourist visa" type. Enter the DS- 160 page to fill in online.

After entering the DS- 160 page, first select the city for the interview. At present, you can choose the nearest Beijing embassy and consulates in Chengdu, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Shenyang for face-to-face signing. You will also find that as long as you put the mouse under English, Chinese translation will be very humanized.

After choosing a good city, select "Start Application", fill in the security questions after jumping, and remember the application ID in the upper right corner and your security questions, so that you can continue to complete the form in the next 30 days. If you don't want to complete the application within 30 days, you can also choose "Save" at the bottom of the form to facilitate the filling of the form in the future.

On the left side of the DS- 160 application form, starting from "Introduction", there are 1 1 sections to be filled in. Let me list some confusing items:

All the forms are filled in English, except the "full name in the mother tongue alphabet" in the picture above.

"Do you have a fax number representing your name? "Select" Yes "and find the standard Chinese code in ChaseDream and fill in the numbers.

"Person/entity paying for your travel", fill in the investor of your travel, which will be related to the subsequent financial proof.

Upload a 2 "x2" (5.1cm x 5.1cm) photo taken in the last six months.

Fill in all the contents and sign after uploading the photos. After signing, the system will tell you which page to print, or you can choose to send the DS- 160 page to the designated mailbox and print it later. Pay attention to inkjet or laser printing, and the bar code is clear.

Second, register and establish personal files and pay visa fees.

On the above page, select a new user and complete the registration.

After the registration is completed, complete the personal data update, then select "New Visa Application/Schedule Interview Time", make the selection step by step, enter the payment page, and pay RMB equivalent to 160 USD.

There are three payment methods, but all of them only support the payment of CITIC Bank.

Method 1: Use the "bank card" of CITIC Bank for online payment.

Method 2: Choose CITIC Bank to pay at the counter (you need to bring the printed American Visa Payment Form and passport), and the bank will get the receipt after the payment is completed.

Method 3: Choose the ATM of CITIC Bank for payment (the last step of web application will get a CGI code for ATM payment identification), and you will get a receipt after completion.

Third, face-to-face signing.

After the payment is completed, with the payment receipt number, enter "Appointment Interview Time" in the upper left corner of the "Personal Information" page to reserve an interview time.

At this point, the online application and face-to-face appointment are completed, and the relevant paper materials are prepared below.

Paper material preparation:

Necessary materials:

Print the interview appointment form.

DS- 160 confirmation page printout.

A 2-inch x2-inch photo in the last six months.

Old and new passports.

Proof materials (preferably original):

Current income certificate, tax bill, real estate license or enterprise property certificate and asset certificate.

The route and/or other description of the travel plan.

Letter of introduction from the applicant's unit, detailing the applicant's position, salary, entry time, whether to allow vacation, and the purpose of going to the United States for business activities (if any).

Criminal/court record (no matter where you were arrested or convicted, even if you have served your sentence or been pardoned).

In addition, according to the purpose of the applicant's travel, it may be necessary to bring the following materials:

Students: Bring transcripts and degree certificates/diplomas, as well as bank statements, time deposit certificates and other proof of funds.

On-the-job personnel: bring the on-the-job certificate issued by the unit and the salary table for the last three months.

Interview (taking the American Consulate in Guangzhou as an example):

When you arrive at the consulate, the staff will guide you to the window of the visa hall to hand in the form. Then, it will be directed to the fingerprint team to wait in line for fingerprint collection. Finally, I will come to the interview team and wait in line for the interview.

Matters needing attention in face-to-face signing:

The interviewer's Chinese is very good. Please say "hello" to him as soon as you come up, not "hello", otherwise it will be easily bypassed and answered in English.

Questions are generally about the confirmation of the content and itinerary of the application form, so answer the questions as concisely as possible and conform to the content of the application form.

The general interview question is: Have you been to America before? /What are you doing in America? /What's the route to America? /How long will it take? /Who are you going with? /What's your occupation? What is your monthly income? /How many years have you worked? /Which countries have you been to before? /When did you go? /Do you speak English? /Which university did you graduate from? ......

Be polite and confident in the interview. After the interview, you can wait for your passport at home.

Passport can be delivered to your home by express delivery or picked up by China CITIC Bank.

Description:

10 years multiple-entry visa and stay time are different. The length of each stay is determined by the US border officials, and the longest stay will not exceed 6 months.

The United States has no clear requirements for proof of funds. The100000 real estate license circulating on the Internet is a rumor made by travel agencies to get more visa customers. In fact, as long as your income proves that you can afford your travel expenses, there is no problem.

The online travel agency says it is inevitable to provide you with visa services, so the most convenient thing is to prepare your own materials to avoid inconsistent information during the interview.

Travel light: visa applicants are not allowed to bring electronic equipment, wallets, backpacks, food or umbrellas into the consulate.

You can't wear makeup contact lenses when taking pictures.

Finally, when you finally get an American visa, you will know that with an American visa, you can also:

1, visa-free in Mexico (single stay 180 days).

2. The Philippines is visa-free for 7 days (you can leave the country directly, but the border inspection is not allowed, and you can also travel from a third country).

3. Honduras is visa-free (30 days).

4. Dominican visa-free (30 days).

5. Panama is exempt from visa for 30 days (provided that the US visa has been used at least once: you can go to the United States first and then to Panama; American public transportation also meets this requirement).

6. Montenegro visa-free (7 days).

7. Bermuda is visa-free (180 days).

8, transit South Korea visa-free stay for 30 days (remember: the premise is that you must go to the United States and go to Guam, an overseas territory of the United States. And you can't enjoy this policy; 30 days each round trip).

10, visa-free for 96-hour transit to Singapore (valid for at least 1 month, only one round trip).

1 1, Costa Rica stays visa-free for 30 days (valid for at least 3 months).

12, Turkey (e-visa requires valid visas from Australia, Canada, Ireland, Japan, Korea, Mexico, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, the United States, Schengen and Israel).

Need to explain a few nouns:

Visa-free: you can enter the country with a passport (including a US visa) and a ticket to a third country.

Transit sign: you can stay in a third country for a specified time with your passport (including American visa) and air ticket to the United States.
