Plan Before Applying for a USA Visa

July 12, 2013 by Chiranth Nataraj

A Visa is a document which is issued by the person’s country of citizenship. It is next to impossible to travel to United States till an individual has USA Visa. In order to obtain a visa to visit USA, one needs to fulfill the necessary requirements.

Visa Application

Classifications of US Visa:

Immigrant visa- This type of visa is provided to the people who have decided to reside permanently in United States. The person is required to be sponsored by anyone who is a resident of America. What is needed to be submitted is an affidavit in US Embassy giving the details of the financial capability of the person who is sponsoring the visa application.

Non Immigrant Visa- This type of visa is provided to those people who are living outside the domestic circle of United States of America but wish to enter the territory of America for some specific purpose, for example, medical treatment, education, commercial meeting, visitors, etc.

How to apply for US Visa
One needs to take an appointment from the local visa consulate to visit the US Embassy. You can take the appointment through telephone, internet or mail services and better confirm the fees and mode of payment for US visa interview before approaching the embassy.

To be at a safer side take all the necessary documents to the US Embassy like completely filed application form, valid passport, specific reason to travel to the USA, documents to support the application form that contains details of employment, financial capability. You have to submit the proof regarding payment of visa fees to the visa consulate.
You will be provided a visa after 4 weeks of interview and what is important to know is that there is no such guarantee that you’ll get the visa as it solely depends on your interview with the visa officer.

The submitted information by the USA visa applicant are scrutinized deeply and thoroughly by the help of a popular security database and in case the name of the applicant is wrongly mentioned, it will automatically delay or halt the process due to security concerns. So make sure you fill all the forms very carefully and without any mismatch from the related documents.

How To Get Green Card For Your Parents

July 5, 2013 by Chiranth Nataraj

Many people living in the US as a lawful permanent residents like to have their family members to come and join them. Green Card holders or permanent residents are authorized to live and work in the US permanently; they are eligible to sponsor their relatives or family members to become permanent residents too. Most people get a green card through their parents, spouse or siblings living in the US.

Indian family
Getting a green card for your family is a two step process. The first step is Family Immigration Petition where a qualifying relationship needs to be established between the petitioner who is a US citizen and the Green Card applicant. While sponsoring a family member, The US citizen needs to file an Affidavit of Support, he or she also needs to file a Form I-130 or petition for Alien Relative for the applicant. Once the petition is received, it will be checked for completeness and supporting evidence. If the applicants are the parents of a US citizen, then they come under the category of immediate relatives. However, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and other extended family members do not come under this category.

The question is how long relatives need to wait before they get their green card; immediate relatives can get a green card without worrying about long waiting periods. It is important to remember that only a certain percentage of green cards can go to any one country each year. If a particularly high number of people from a certain country submit petitions, as is often the case with India, Mexico or China, their family members end up waiting longer than others. There are annual limits on the number of green cards that are given out and given the unpredictability of the number of people submitting petitions each year, one cannot exactly predict the waiting period for applicants. As a general rule, applicants in higher preference categories will have a shorter waiting period.
