My cousin who is a permanent resident is going to send me an invitation to attend the event which is a charity concert, and also would like to explore some places, So is this a tourism visa or a business? And is it a red flag to stay for 6 months for this purpose?

Would it rather be preferable if they pay for themselves? Btw, Subscribed to the channel! You are doing an awesome job and making informative videos not just advertising for a 1:1 consultation.

    Thanks! Who funds the trip- it really depends on various factor. Since your sister is married now, if they can fund it themselves they can say that so that they are communicating strong finances. They can still state you're hosting them at you're home via invite letter with your job and income listed.

    Usually, the officer does not look at documentation, but if you are visiting someone on an H1b or F1 visa, you can carry a copy of their visa. You can also have finance documents in a folder in case you are in a country where the officer checks finance docs. If you are visiting someone for a wedding, you can have things like the wedding invite. These are just a few examples of docs you can carry in case they are asked for.

    It's hard to offer communication on that without your whole profile and background. Visiting a bf can be tricky but really depends on various factors. You can always book a consultation on our website to clear doubts and have the best shot at a visa. If denied, it will be harder to bounce back.

I want to apply for a us visa, but i'am a confused what to write in the passport section, because i'am a Romanian citizen, however, my passport was issued in Berlin, Germany, but it's no information which specify that in my passport, the issue authority is a city/region from Romania, but the residence is Germany! So, in your opinion, what I should write in the issue place section, which country and city? I looked everywhere for this information but I didn't find anything for my situation!Many thanks for your help!

    When filling out the visa application form, it's essential to accurately provide the information as it appears in your passport. In your case, since you are a Romanian citizen and your passport was issued in Berlin, Germany, you should follow these guidelines: 1- Passport Issuing Country: Write "Germany" because your passport was issued there. 2- Passport Issuing City: Write "Berlin" as the city where your passport was issued.

    The decision to approve or deny a visa application is based on various factors such as the purpose of the visit, ties to the home country, financial stability, and intention to return. While the nationality or race of the person inviting you may be considered, it is not the sole determinant. Consular officers assess each application individually. It's important to provide honest and accurate information during the application process.
