Tips for International nurse’s VISA interview when securing U.S. Temporary Visitor's VISA in your country's local embassy

Many International Nurses may need U.S. Temporary Visitor's VISA for Examination or Job application interview. Are there tricks, special ways, routes..?

No really not. It is mix of luck and timing. If you get an opportunity to travel to U.S. and that too for work, it is really one time opportunity. I was reading that U.S. is land of opportunities and that is very true. And many people out there in world want to come here to build fortune, and that is very impressive. However when they go to embassies for interview, their VISA get denied. So what went wrong, that one time opportunity goes away for all time? From heaven we fall down to ground zero. I was unfortunate two times to not to get VISA. However luck came through and I am here in U.S. writing this post. I had no tricks, no confiscating, no-misrouting, no consultants...

it is just what I said, being in right place at right time with right luck from God. So I begin now:

if you type in browser travel.state.gov (or type U.S. temporary visitor's VISA in Google), you would reach the Site for one of the U.S. travel authority U.S. Department of State. There is lot of good literature on types of VISA and categories of VISA and so on. I am posting this one for those who want to travel for tourist purpose.

a) The VISA type is named B1/B2 (a type of non-immigrant VISA)

b) Authorizes an individual to travel to U.S. for tourism related purposes.

c) Needs some paper work that would prove to a U.S. VISA interview officer that you are traveling for rightful purpose and do not intend to migrate or stay back in U.S.

One thing to remember that U.S. Government have open doors policy and depend a lot on travelers’ clear and objective statements of purpose of travel. And honesty would your best friend in this.

Tips are:

1) Do your paperwork diligently. State every item true without hiding any facts. For example, form may ask you if you have any blood relative. State truly with indentifying the relative on the form in appropriate box (DS-156 is form number)

2) If you have nay known in U.S. ask them to provide you I-134, a form of sponsorship. This is a big help in your VISA interview as the sponsoring person takes ownership of your rightful return

3) Funding of the trip is a real concern, so make sure you have enough money in your bank accounts that would ensure that you would not become liability on U.S. Government.

4) Take all your bank account statements, marriage certificates, property papers and all such documents that would help you prove that you have all ties in the country you live and you have no intention to migrate using the VISA you are securing

5) Do not try to impress the VISA interview officers by extra smiles, talking continuously etc. Try to be precise and clear to the VISA officer’s questions. Clearly state the purpose. If possible, show the return-tickets

6) Remain normal, dress normally (a little clean and sharp dress do not hurt, but not that there is warm hot weather outside, and you wore an expensive suite to VISA interview)

7) Staying organized is important. Local U.S. Visa websites post checklists for you. So take that checklist and order you paperwork in the required order.

8) Every year VISA rules keep undergoing changes. Definitely visit (one day before your interview) non-immigrant VISA section of your local U.S. embassy’s website to understand any changes in law or travel conditions to U.S. and if changes are needed make sure you address such items by taking appropriate paperwork or material to interview.

9) Photo requirements are very strict for U.S. Visa. So make sure you get your photographs as per specifications posted on U.S. websites.

Travel.state.gov, you can find your local U.S. embassies’ website link and from there you can find paperwork needed.

Honest and clear responses are the one that would help you secure VISA. If you lie or make up things, there are high chances, that you would be denied VISA.

These are some items that can save you last minute troubles. Good luck
