Obtaining a U.S. Visa of Any Type Is an Achievable Goal
If you carefully follow instructions and prepare your documents correctly, getting a U.S. visa is entirely possible. However, it’s important to remember that visa decisions are subjective. Your country of residence and how you present yourself during the consular interview play a key role.

During the application process, a consular officer will evaluate:

  • Your employment history
  • Education and professional background
  • Financial stability (salary, savings)
  • Purpose of your visit to the U.S.
