I want to ask you, I have submitted an application for a US tourist visa on the website. All I need to do is print the confirmation letter?

Yes, the form DS- 160 is only used for confirmation letters. But it's best to back up the detailed application form.

Of course, the time to apply for a stay can be three months, but I suggest that it is better to go to 1 month. If the visa is approved, you can stay as long as you come back within the validity period.

About a friend's reception in America, you are only a tourist visa, so this friend doesn't need to provide anything. If the visa officer asks if there are any relatives and friends outside the United States, it can be said that there are friends outside and I really hope to be my tour guide.

The required documents are as follows:

1. Valid passport: If your passport will expire or be damaged within six months of your expected arrival in the United States, or there is no blank visa issuance page on your passport, please apply for a new passport before coming for an interview.

2. Confirmation page of DS-160 form. Please indicate your name code, Chinese name, China home address, company name and address. Please print your form confirmation page vertically on A4 paper. Please bring the printed confirmation page of DS- 160 form with you during the interview. Do not use the fax confirmation page.

3. One photo: a 2-inch by 2-inch (5 1mm x 5 1mm) square color front photo taken within 6 months. Please stick your photo on the cover of your passport with scotch tape.

4. Original receipt of visa application fee: You can pay a visa application fee of 966 yuan at any branch of China CITIC Bank in China (effective from 20 10). Please stick the receipt on the lower part of the confirmation page with glue or tape.

5. Evidence that can explain why you will definitely return to China: produce documents that are binding on you in economic, social, family or other aspects to help you prove that you intend to return to China after a short stay in the United States. Due to different personal circumstances, the evidence that the applicant should produce is also different. The following documents can help the visa officer to evaluate whether you intend to return to China: household registration book, ID card, employment certificate, payroll that objectively reflects your monthly income, passbook with regular entry and exit records, etc.
