Tourist visa issues for high school students who are over 18 years old and traveling to the United States on their own

A tourist visa is a type of non-immigrant visa. You must pay attention to the following two points during the interview:

First, let the visa officer believe that you have no intention of immigrating, and you will not Staying in the United States will increase the burden on the American people;

Second, let the visa officer believe that you have sufficient funds to finance your trip and will not increase the burden on the American people due to lack of money.

So you must pay attention to the above two points when preparing.

As for the preparation of materials, there are two aspects:

First, for necessary materials, you can log on to the homepage of the U.S. Embassy in China, where you will find the necessary materials for visa requirements.

Second, auxiliary materials, this is to help the visa officer trust you better. When preparing materials, you must pay attention to the above two points.

There is nothing to say about the necessary materials. Just prepare whatever is required on the homepage. There are two parts of auxiliary materials: property certificate and non-immigration intention certificate.

Property certificate:

Your property, name, etc. can be notarized, as long as it is proved to be yours.

You can present a certificate of deposit for your time deposit.

Proof of your father’s assets. The kinship relationship between father and son can be notarized. You can go to the notary office and ask them what materials they need.

Non-immigration tendency:

You have good connections in China: you have domestic real estate, you have student status, and your parents are both in China (photos of your parents’ relationship can be shown)

You have good credit for returning to your country after traveling abroad: European travel, you can show photos

The materials you are missing:

Your travel plan and invitation letter from the other party!

Especially in your situation, where will you stay after arriving in the United States? Who to contact? You said that a classmate picked you up (do you have an invitation letter from them?), what is his name, where do you live, and what is your contact information? Since you are on a tourist visa, what are your travel plans? The visa officer is likely to ask these questions. Be prepared in advance and don’t say you don’t know anything. That would be silly.

Your conditions are good. I feel that if the visa officer performs normally, there is a high possibility that the visa will be approved.

As for air tickets, you can first ask the airline whether it is peak season and whether air tickets are tight. If you are not very nervous, there is no need to rush to book a ticket.

You do not need to provide your air ticket during the interview, but if it is included in your travel plan and you are willing to show it, you can also show it.

I feel that the threshold for tourist visas is now wider.

Good luck!
