How To Apply For A US VISA For International Tourists?

The USA is the most prominent destination for Indians to migrate to. It is the melting pot of cultures for the past few decades. Everyone who harbours the American dream makes efforts to migrate there for higher education or employment. However, there are still thousands of applicants who wish to travel to the USA only temporarily. It could either be due to medical reasons, tourism or visiting family members. For all those aspirants, here are some tips and tricks from Rudraksh Immigration Group in Mohali. Let us take a look at the details of the entire process of US visa for international tourists.

US Visa

A US visitor visa, categorized as B-1/B-2, grants temporary access to the United States for purposes like leisure, business, or medical treatment. With this visa, you can visit friends or family, attend conferences, explore tourist attractions, engage in shopping, or seek medical attention. To initiate the application process for a U.S. tourist visa, you should:

• Follow the standard procedure for any US visa application.
• Provide evidence of your intent to stay in the United States temporarily.
• Demonstrate strong ties to your home country, including a permanent residence and other commitments, ensuring your return after your visit.

Eligibility for US Visa

• Complete Form DS-160 accurately.
• Schedule a visa interview at the nearest US Embassy/Consulate.
• Pay the visa application fee.
• Gather and submit essential documents (passport, photo, travel purpose proof).
• If required, obtain a petition or invitation from a US sponsor.

Green Card

A US green card, officially known as a permanent resident card, is distinct from a visa and serves as an official document affirming your authorization to reside and work in the United States on a permanent basis. Along with this status, a green card carries certain privileges and obligations, including tax payment, limited voting rights in select elections, and the eligibility to apply for US citizenship. To embark on the journey of obtaining a US green card, certain essential steps must be taken:

• Eligibility: Initially, you must meet the eligibility criteria set out in one of the various green card categories established by the US government.
• Immigrant Petition: In most cases, you will need to have an immigrant petition filed on your behalf by a sponsor, unless you fall under a category allowing self-petitioning.
• Visa Number: Ensure that an immigrant visa number is available in the specific category for which you are applying.
• Application Process: Depending on your current location, you will either need to apply for an adjustment of status with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) if you are already within the US or undergo consular processing with the US Department of State if you are residing outside the United States.

These steps lay the foundation for securing a US green card and the accompanying permanent residency status.
