How do American students apply for tourist visas?

Travel, entertainment, visiting relatives and friends, medical treatment, attending conferences, going to exhibitions and handling personal affairs in the United States can all apply for a B-2 American tourist visa. B-2 American tourist visas can be divided into three months, 1 year, three years, five years, 10 year and permanent, and the number of entry times can also be divided into single entry and multiple entry. American embassies and consulates in different countries or regions, or different consuls in the same consulate, have great discretion over the validity or number of entry visas. At present, it is easier for Hong Kong residents to apply for a B-2 visa with multiple entry for 1 ~ 5 years, while it is easier for mainland residents in China to apply for a B-2 visa with three months to 1 year, with one or more entry.

The difficulty of applying for a B-2 visa depends on different countries and situations. Recently, the United States has granted visa-free treatment to tourists from some countries and regions, such as Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Spain, Sweden, Britain, South Korea and Taiwan Province Province. However, at present, nationals of Chinese mainland, Hongkong and Singapore cannot enter B-2 visa-free.

In areas where it is difficult to apply for a Class B visa, such as mainland China, generally speaking, the main factors considered by visa consuls are the necessity of the applicant going to the United States and whether the applicant has an immigration tendency. Financial ability is an important consideration in theory, but it is often not the most important in visa cases. Therefore, applicants should focus on how to provide strong materials to prove that it is extremely necessary to go to the United States and will return to China on time.

American tourist visas are different from those of Japan and South Korea in many European countries. There is no third-party contractor in the US visa business. Except for the US tourist visa for tour groups, which can be submitted by travel agencies, other US visa applications generally need to be submitted by the applicants themselves, and even those who travel with tour groups to the United States will be required to sign in person. Therefore, it is best for applicants to know the whole process of American visa in advance in order to improve the success rate of applying for American visa.
