How to get the American visa for Ukrainian people?

It’s not so difficult to get the American visa as many Ukrainian think. There are only five steps and you can see a “green light” on the way to America.

Step No. 1 — Estimate your chances

If you have an “empty” international passport and there is no official work. You are going to visit your American boyfriend so the probability of obtaining the American visa is very small.

You may try your fortune but remember that a consular fee of 160 dollars and it will not be back to you.

Step No. 2 ­­­— Register to the interview

If you estimated your chances as high so register to the interview in The Consulate Embassy of the USA in Ukraine.

– The interview is appointed to the first free date, but I advise to call not less than in a month, – writes on one of the forums Michigan.

Step No. 3 — Prepare documents

During the time which remained before interview, you take necessary documents for opening a tourist visa in the USA.

The most important is to confirm your close connection with Ukraine. Savings in the bank, the  existence of the real estate will help to ensure  that you will not leave Ukraine for long time. But we never advise to give false documents. If you work as a teacher at the university. You give a reference from the work that your salary is $2000 a month. Surely this fact will be “too good to be true”.

How to receive the visa of the USA

It isn’t necessary to book air tickets in advance and to provide a hotel booking in the USA. Also it isn’t obligatory to have the invitation. On the contrary invitations cause more questions and increases a risk of the visa refusal.

But the most ridiculous is the fact that all pile of documents isn’t required to you and the visa officer won’t even look at it. But it is necessary to have all documents.

Step No. 4 – Fill in the visa questionnaire

In 2-3 days prior to the appointed interview you visit the official site of the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine and you fill in the questionnaire of DS-160. It is one of the most important steps.

Read how to fill in the questionnaire on the visa of  the USA.

The questionnaire is filled only in English and 20 minutes are given for this. It is necessary to answer all questions accurately. It is necessary to attach a photo to the questionnaire.

There are some important points in filling in the questionnaire. Remember to save the questionnaire more often to not loose just written information.

It is also possible to look answers to frequently asked questions on the official site of U.S. State department. When you finish filling of the questionnaire you’ll receive the page with confirmation of DS-160 giving. So you will take it to the interview.

Step No. 5 — Attend a visa interview

Interviews take place in the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv.

Usually, interview lasts no more than 5 minutes. Questions from the visa officer can be very different. The main thing is to behave quietly and to answer self-confidently to the questions.

We hope you will hear the phrase: “Your visa is approved” from the visa officer.
