United States Tourist Visa: This way you can prove that you are financially solvent for your trip

For your consular appointment in processing the US Tourist Visa B1/B2, in addition to the documents, you should also learn tips that even include dress codes. The goal is to demonstrate financial solvency to travel to the United States and everything counts.

To avoid having your US B1/B2 tourist visa rejected because of that detail – and not a small one – namely the lack of financial solvency, suggestions are offered on the Vive USA site.

Basic questions and answers for applying for a United States tourist visa

How to demonstrate financial solvency

Write down these tips:

1. Complete and submit the DS-160 form correctly

Please note that the consular officer will use the DS-160 form to conduct the interview. Fill in the information about your current job, your previous one, your income and the activities you carry out carefully and in detail. During the job interview, indicate whether your salary has improved.

2. Process the visa at a time that is convenient for your economy

If you are unemployed, they advise against doing this. “It is best to apply for a US visa if you have a permanent job or a business that provides you with a good monthly income for the destination you want to visit.”

If you are a student, housewife or do not have a paid job, be honest and say who pays for your trip and show proof of payment for that person.

3. Have proof of work on hand

If they ask you where you work, answer where and offer to show them your proof of employment. “These certificates are issued by the HR departments of the companies and can be addressed to the US embassy,” they point out.

Is it possible to have a tourist visa and a student visa for the United States at the same time?

4. Bring extra receipts

Take receipts or account statements with you, in case the official wants to see them. They say in Vive USA:

5. Know the destination and what you will spend

Describe and detail what the route will be in the United States.

“Name the specific places you are going. The more detailed your itinerary, the better your chances of getting the visa.”

6. Clothing: the first impression always counts

Dress formally and preferably in neutral tones. Going with dress pants and a shirt (or blouse) is a good choice.

Pay attention to the information they provide and it is appreciated: Don’t wear dirty clothes. Everything in the right dimension, you are going to a consular appointment… “not to a wedding.”
