American Visa: what factors influence its obtaining?

The United States of America is one of the largest countries in the world with a rich history, stunning nature and modern technologies. It is rightly recognized as one of the best countries for travel.

America has absolutely everything: a variety of attractions and activities to suit every taste and budget, perfect infrastructure and transportation accessibility, delicious food and incredible nature. Here you will encounter otherworldly landscapes of Arizona and Utah canyons, tropical forests and swamps of Florida, majestic mountains and high-altitude lakes of the Sierra Nevada, gigantic sequoias of California and geysers of Yellowstone.

Hardly anyone doesn’t dream of personally seeing these incredible places at least once in their life. But there is one difficulty on the path to this dream – the process of obtaining an American visa, which largely depends on the outcome of the interview at the consulate.

“What are my chances?” – one of the most popular questions from those who are applying for an American visa for the first time.

Obtaining a visa to the United States is a lengthy process, and every applicant wishes that efforts culminate in a stamp in the passport. Visa center services, as well as the correct package of documents and confidence during the interview at the consulate, can probably increase the chances. But the main thing is to remember the important factors that influence obtaining an American visa.

Factors that influence obtaining a visa to the United States

Lack of compelling reasons to return to one’s home country
The main factors that can ensure your return to the home country are owning property, having elderly parents, young children or a spouse. The fewer pieces of evidence demonstrating ties to one’s home country provided when applying for a visa, the lower the chances of obtaining it.
A “clean” passport
Employees at the American Consulate do not appreciate it when a trip to their country is the first on the list of travels in your life. Previous travel experience, particularly to countries that are friendly towards the United States, confirms your financial stability. The more visas you have in your passport, the better.
Violation of the US visa regime during previous trips
If you have previously violated US immigration law, your chances of obtaining a new visa are very low. In this case, at least two years must pass since the violation, you must have compelling reasons to return to the USA and enough money in your bank account. Another way to increase your chances is to apply for a visa in a different category (for example, to study, by obtaining an “F” visa).
Invitation from an American
Official invitation from a US citizen (preferably with an excellent reputation and credit history in America) increases your chances and gives a significant advantage when applying for a visa.
Close relatives in the USA
American authorities have long been creating barriers for people who want to stay in the USA simply because they have relatives there. The presence of a close relative in the USA often raises concerns for immigration services and is often the reason for refusal to obtain a tourist visa.
A sufficient amount of money in a bank account
US consulate employees must be confident that you have enough funds to live in the USA during the period specified by you. The more money you have, the higher your chances of getting a US visa. If you have loans, it is important to remember that their mere presence cannot be grounds for visa denial as long as there are no court decisions regarding the debts.
Criminal records
If you have been previously convicted or served a sentence, the chances of obtaining a tourist visa are low. In any case, it all depends on the length of time since the conviction and the severity of the offense.
Serious illnesses
If consular officers determine (based on certain criteria) that you are traveling to the United States for medical treatment, they will most likely deny a tourist visa for you. There are special programs available for such purposes, and it is necessary to prove that you have a specific clinic waiting for you and the means for treatment.
Alimony and Custody
If you are divorced and your child does not live with you, there is a chance of being denied a visa. In the case of your attempts to stay in the United States, your child may be left without a parent, and the American authorities take this very seriously.

If you want to minimize the risk of visa denial, contact The Visa Services specialists.
