USA visa for Chinese girlfriend
I'm surprised this isn't a bigger topic on here. Like most guys, helping a foreign girl come over for a long visit (2 weeks) is better than dealing with local B. S.
We are both the same age (advanced youth, I suppose). She has a good job, no car, but money in bank and has traveled extensively. She made a mistake of telling the consulate interviewer she would want to work in USA if she found a job-out of naivety.
I know VAWA was expressly made to prevent foreign women from casually visiting the USA, but there must be loopholes. Given the two time limit of spousal visa issuance, I don't want to go down that road.
Looking for good, relevant information. (What other nationality's ability to gain a visa is more practical?)
Money in the bank for visa
[QUOTE=Jesterl; 1493937]I was under the impression that the USA would be the main barrier to a visa. From my understanding, China does not factor in.
I have some ideas, but would like input from the forum.[/QUOTE]You are correct, at least with regards to the USA issuing a visa. The applicant must pay the non-refundable visa fee with application. Applicant must show a bank statement with xx amount of money in the bank. Doesn't make sense in today's ATM world, but perhaps is more for showing the person has income generating work / business. Applicant must also show ties that would for the most part prove the applicant will depart the USA and return to his / her homeland.
Of course, an applicant's home country may put up their own "regulations" for allowing someone to depart the country at point of departure. But that has nothing to do with obtaining or not obtaining a USA visa.
