    Even if you have immediate family members or friends abroad, it is recommended to apply for a tourist visa, because visiting relatives and friends requires the review of both domestic and foreign documents, while travel only reviews the information of domestic applicants.

    If you want to visit relatives and friends, you must have good information from both abroad and at home. There are relatively many simple applications for tourism, and as long as the domestic applicant has good information, it can be approved.

    If the applicant's information is poor, and there are friends and relatives abroad, it is as if there are still people abroad to accept it, and the immigration tendency is more serious. It's easier to refuse a visa. Therefore, it is recommended that the landlord directly apply for a tourist visa, and the assets also account for a certain proportion, if you are the first time to apply for it, it is still cautious and consult more.

    Hello landlord, in fact, the difficulty of going to the United States to apply for a tourist visa and a visit visa is about the same, and you need at least 10w proof of deposit to be able to apply for a visit visa to a friend You also need your friend to provide an invitation letter, which is also very troublesome, and it is not very helpful If the landlord does not have a record of entry and exit from a large country before, it is better to travel to the United States if you want to travel to the United States

    As long as the applicant meets the conditions, has a clear purpose for going abroad, and has sufficient materials, it is not difficult to obtain a U.S. tourist visa. You should briefly explain the reason for going to the United States, and you must prove that the plan is only temporary, and you have no intention of staying in the United States for a long time, and there is no standard answer to the questions asked by the visa officer, as long as you can express it smoothly and correctly, there will be no unreasonable refusal of visa without special circumstances.

    As of August 1, students with F M visas will no longer be affected by the ban on traveling to the United States and will be able to fly non-stop to the United States.

    The key to obtaining a visa is an interview with the U.S. consulate.

    1. Required Materials:

    1. DS-160 application form.

    2. Documents proving the financial capacity of the applicant or the financial ability of relatives and friends in the United States.

    3. If there is any pre-existing medical history, the applicant should present travel or health insurance for the duration of the trip to the United States.

    4. The applicant has 2 to 4 two-inch **2 to 4 sheets.

    5. The applicant's original valid passport for private purposes (confirmed to be valid for more than half a year, and the last page of the passport must be signed by the applicant), the original ID card, the original household registration book, the original marriage certificate or the original certificate issued by the relevant institution, the original passbook or deposit receipt issued by the deposit bank in the name of the applicant or his spouse, and the original property certificate of the applicant.

    2. Factors for whether the visa is approved or not:

    1. Visa refusal due to information asymmetry.

    Refusal of visa because you do not know the policy information of the U.S. tourist visa or fail to keep abreast of the changing policy information.

    2. Lack of financial ability will be denied.

    There are many applicants who refuse visas because they fail to provide proof of property that makes them suspect that they have a tendency to immigrate.

    3. It is taboo that the material is not true.

    A comprehensive application does help to approve the visa, but it is extremely undesirable to provide false documents. False documents will make the visa officer suspect that your purpose is not pure and will not be approved.

    4. If you do not perform well during the interview, you will be denied a visa.

    Americans are straightforward thinkers, and during the interview process, the interviewer can ask whatever he wants. It is pointless to speculate too much about the meaning behind the interview officer's question, and it will greatly reduce the performance of the interview.

    Legal basis

    Law of the People's Republic of China on the Administration of Exit and Entry Article 4 The Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Public Security shall be responsible for the administration of exit-entry affairs in accordance with their respective duties.

    In fact, there is no essential difference between applying for a U.S. tourist visa and a family visit visa, and whether you are good or not depends on whether you meet the application conditions and the real purpose of the U.S. visa.

    1. If the real purpose of your application is to visit relatives in the United States, and the relatives in the United States can issue an invitation letter, and the inviter's social status in the United States is also good, then you can apply for a family visit visa.

    2. If you are only traveling, visiting relatives by the way, then it is recommended to apply for a tourist visa, and plan the route in advance.

    Hello answer, it's a pleasure to serve you, I've seen your question. Due to the large number of inquiries now, I will answer them one by one and query and summarize the data for you, so please be patient. Please do not close the order too early, and provide more effective information in order to better answer you, thank you for your understanding and support!

    Hello, I am happy to answer for you, for your inquiries about the U.S. visa, whether it is the first time or the renewal, the applicant needs to have a reasonable reason to apply for a visa, and when renewing the visa, the type of renewed visa must be the same as the type of visa previously held. There are many types of U.S. visas, U.S. visas are divided into 18 categories, 48 types, the categories are sorted alphabetically in English, from A to R, and the types are sorted by numbers under the class letters, such as A-1, A-2, etc., and there are two types of special visa-free apostille WB&WT and GB>.

    1. The name and main purpose of the application are different. The family visit visa is mainly for the name and purpose of visiting relatives; Tourist visas, on the other hand, are for the purpose of tourism.

    2. The conditions for application are different. The premise of applying for a family visit visa is that there are relatives who are legally residing in the visa country for a long time, and the other party needs to send an invitation and issue relevant documents; To apply for a tourist visa, you can have no relatives in the visa country, and you do not need to be invited and issued documents by the visa country.

    3. There are differences in the applicable objects. Although it may seem that anyone can apply for a tourist visa, it is best to apply for a white passport (i.e. a foreign visa) with relatives in the visa country who have never traveled abroad. Tourist visas are usually only available to applicants who have been to a visa country or who have not been to a visa country but have a relatively rich history of traveling abroad.

    The above is the difference between a U.S. visa renewal to visit family and friends and tourism, you can learn about it.

    Whether you are visiting relatives and friends, tourism or business, this is the reason for going abroad, that is, why you want to go abroad, and it has nothing to do with the visa approval rate. Whether or not the visa is approved depends on the following factors: Have you ever traveled to a country that is as developed as the United States?

    Are you married, have children, or are you single or divorced? What about the assets under your name? Do you have a stable job?

    Is the household registration a sensitive area? The visa approval rate is only related to these factors, and has nothing to do with what you are doing in the United States.

    Even if you have relatives and friends abroad, it is also recommended to apply for a tourist type visa, because visiting relatives and friends to review the information of both domestic and foreign parties, and tourism only reviews the information of the domestic applicant.

    It's not a question of which one is good to sign.

    Both visas are B visas, but with different emphasis.

    Tourist visas are more focused on one condition of the individual. economic property and the like.

    If you are visiting relatives, you don't know what kind of relationship your relatives belong to in the United States.

    But this kind of relationship must be real, it must be close, and it may not be easy to deal with a relationship that is too far away.

    Since his younger brother is in the United States, he only travels to the United States and does not visit his younger brother, which is unreasonable. It is better to apply directly in the name of visiting relatives.

    As for the notarization of kinship, it is not very troublesome to do it with documents that can prove kinship such as household registration book. Specifically, you can go to your local notary office and ask.

    Is your brother your immediate family? If so, you must apply for a visa to visit your family, if not, you can apply for tourism or family visits. There is no need to do kinship justice (it will be better but not necessary) for family visits, but the length of stay will be somewhat different between the two types, the travel is shorter, and the family visit is longer.

    They are all to the U.S. border crossings to give you a period of stay.

    I don't know what happens to your family's assets. If it's better, it's better to sign it, but it's not a guaranteed sign.

    Travel, visiting relatives depends on the relationship and funds between the two parties.

    However, there are many refusals based on immigration tendencies.

    What is your brother's status in the United States?

    Pour some cold water on you!

    If you tell the truth, the chances of signing either of these two visas are also very small!

    Because you have immigrant tendencies!

    If your brother is a citizen, then your mother has more hope of visiting relatives, but if you do it together, she will not be able to come in the end!

    If you don't believe me, just try it and hit your luck!
