What materials do students need to prepare to apply for a US visa?

Hello, the following are the materials needed for a US visa.

1, if you need to apply for a business/tourist visa, you need to pay an application fee of $ 160 and submit the following materials:

? Electronic application form for non-immigrant visa (DS- 160). For more information about DS- 160, please visit the DS- 160 webpage.

? A valid travel passport to the United States must be valid for at least 6 months outside the scheduled stay in the United States (except for countries that have special agreements to enjoy visa exemption). If the passport contains more than one person, each visa applicant needs to submit a separate application.

? A 2-inch by 2-inch (5. 1 cmx5.1cm) photo taken in the last six months. For a description of the photo format, please see this webpage.

? If a visa is issued, a visa reciprocity fee may be required depending on the nationality of the applicant. If you want to know the application scope and amount of visa reciprocity fee, please visit the website of the US State Department.

In addition to the above materials, you should also show an interview appointment letter to prove that you have made an appointment for an interview from this service channel. You can also provide other supporting documents to the visa officer.

The supporting documents are just one of many factors that visa officers need to consider in the interview. The visa officer will combine professional, social and cultural factors and make corresponding analysis and judgment according to the specific situation of each applicant. Visa officers need to weigh the applicant's intention to go to the United States, family background, long-term planning in the original country of residence and other information. Each visa application will be regarded as an independent case and given full consideration according to the law.

Note: Please do not use false materials. Deception or distortion of facts may lead to permanent refusal. In order to protect personal privacy, the applicant should bring the materials into the embassy or consulate in a sealed manner. The embassy or consulate adheres to the principle of information confidentiality and will not disclose the applicant's materials to anyone.

Please bring the following materials with you during the interview. If possible, it is better to use the original rather than the copy. Please do not submit any supporting documents to the embassy/consulate by fax, e-mail or post.

? Current income certificate, tax bill, real estate license or enterprise property certificate and asset certificate. (If the money exists in investment projects such as funds, it is also possible to find the corresponding securities company to issue a certificate of equity capital. )

? The route and/or other description of the travel plan. (It is best to write down the approximate itinerary to improve the visa pass rate)

? 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).
