What materials are needed for visiting relatives in the United States?

Visiting relatives in the United States requires an American visiting visa. The required materials are divided into materials that American relatives need to prepare and materials that China relatives need to prepare. Details are as follows:

1. Materials that American relatives need to prepare:

Original invitation letter (the invitation letter must be in American paper, the content must be in English, conform to the American letter format, and the signature should be in Chinese and English), and the original should be sent back to China by express or scanned to the domestic applicant.

Copy of the visa page of the inviter when going abroad for the first time

Outdoor photos of the inviter in the United States (it is better to have more photos, and there should be obvious American imprint in addition to the inviter).

Copy of the driver's license of the inviter.

Copy of social security number

Copy of green card or citizen card

Return transit record

Certificate of bank deposits

(The materials required by the US are mainly the original or scanned invitation letter, and materials No.2-8 are only auxiliary spare materials. )

Second, relatives in China need to prepare materials.

DS- 160 Visa Application Form (fill in online: https://ceac.state.gov/GenNIV/Default.aspx, and print the confirmation page)

Pay the visa fee online and print the payment voucher.

Passport (valid for at least 6 months, with at least one blank page)

identity card

household registration

property ownership certificate

Driver's license or motor vehicle registration certificate

Semi-annual bank flow details

Marriage certificate (or divorce certificate)

Work certificate or leave approval certificate (issued by the applicant's work unit and must be on the company's head, including basic information such as company name, address, telephone number and fax number). The contents of the certificate must include the applicant's name, passport, working hours, position, work content, monthly salary and time to go to the United States. Finally, there must be a guarantee statement issued by the company that the applicant will definitely return to China (Note: if the applicant is a student, the school needs to issue a certificate of studying and prepare the original student ID card).

Four business cards

Retirement certificate (if you have retired, you only need retirement certificate, and you don't need the certificate from your company)

Salary card or salary passbook

A few family photos, photos of traveling abroad (with obvious symbolic content in China)

It should be noted that to apply for a visa, you need to fill in the DS- 160 form online, complete the payment, and then make an appointment for an interview online one to two weeks in advance. Because the American visa officer is most worried about the applicant's immigration tendency, the applicant must show the visa officer his domestic economic strength and personal love for tourism, and express his plan to return to China on schedule after going abroad.
