In this article, we are going to cover some tips to help you get your visitor visa application to the United States approved. 

 

When you apply for a visitor visa or when you’re seeking entry to the U.S. as a visitor,  U.S. immigration officials will look to ensure that you are seeking to enter the U.S. for the proper purpose.  With visitor visas, the immigration official must be convinced that you are truly coming to the U.S. as a visitor, and that you are not intending to overstay your visa.

A. Show That You Have Strong Ties to Your Home Country

 

When you go into your interview for your visitor visa, the immigration officer is required to presume that you are an “intending immigrant,” which means that the immigration officer is required to believe that you plan to stay in the U.S.

 

In other words, the immigration officer will initially believe that your intention in coming to the U.S. is to stay in the country. It is your burden to prove that you, in fact, plan to return to your home country pursuant to the terms of your visitor status.

 

How do you prove that you are not an intending immigrant?  

 

One way is by demonstrating that you have strong ties to your home country.  Some examples of strong ties to your home country include:

 

  • Mortgage or lease documentation, indicating that you have a home or an apartment in your home country.
  • Information that shows that you have a business in your home country.
  • Documentation that proves that you have a job in your home country.
  • Documentation showing that you pay taxes in your home country.
  • Proof that you have close family in your home country.
  • Documentation showing that you have a bank account in your home country.

 

All of those types of information will support your contention that you have strong ties to your home country, and that you have no intention of staying in the U.S. permanently.

 

Remember, the more information you have in support of your ties to home, the more persuasive you will be with the immigration officer in proving that you plan to leave the U.S. as required.

 

B. Show That You Have a Specific Reason for Your Trip

 

Another way to prove to an immigration officer that you do not intend to stay in the U.S. permanently is to have documentation that shows that you have a specific reason for visiting the U.S. for a temporary period of time. For example, if you are coming to the U.S. to visit Disney World in Florida, then it would be very helpful to have an itinerary of your vacation plans.  You could also show your tickets to Disney World and your hotel reservations. 

 

Similarly, if you are attending a business conference, it would be helpful to have your invitation or tickets to the conference handy to show to the immigration officer.  

 

These documents may help to persuade the immigration officer that your intention is truly to visit and not to stay permanently.

 

C. Show You Have Enough Money in the Bank to Cover Your Trip

 

When you are in the U.S. on a visitor visa, you are not allowed to work.  Thus, an immigration officer will want to know if you have enough money to cover the expenses of your trip.  If you cannot show that you have the finances to cover your trip, then the immigration officer may likely believe that you are coming to the U.S. to work, which is prohibited while on a visitor visa.

 

Accordingly, you should have documentation showing that you have enough money for your trip.  If your expenses in the U.S. will be minimal (for example, if you will be living with a friend or family member during your trip), then you should have documentation showing why your expenses during your stay will be minimal.

 

D. Be Ready to Explain Your Relationships with U.S. Residents

 

You should also be prepared to explain any relationships with people in the U.S. that could potentially sponsor you for lawful permanent residence.  For example, if you are in a relationship with a US citizen or lawful permanent resident, an immigraiton official may have concerns that you will come to the United States, get married, and that your spouse will file a immigrant petition on your behalf. Therefore, you should be prepared to explain any relationships with people in the U.S., if you are asked about them.

Exceptional Immigration Representation for EB1A

After a previous self-petition for my EB1A was unsuccessful, I knew I needed expert support from a legal team that could truly understand the uniqueness of my background and help me present the strongest case possible. Ashoori Law came highly recommended and the firm exceeded my expectations by pairing me with the perfect attorney for my case, Catalina Leff.

From the start, it was clear that Catalina brought a depth of knowledge, strategic insight, and an incredibly sharp eye for detail. My professional profile didn’t fit the “typical” EB1A mold, but that didn’t deter her. Instead, her versatility, legal creativity, and experience with complex and non-traditional cases made all the difference. She helped me organise my evidence in a way that told a compelling story and made spot-on recommendations that significantly elevated the quality and clarity of my petition.

Communication throughout the process was seamless. The coordination between Ashoori Law’s support team and Catalina was excellent. I always felt supported, informed, and confident in the next steps. Every interaction with Catalina was professional yet personal, and I was never left wondering about the status of my case. Catalonia’s guidance and complete control of the process was unquestionable.

Most importantly, the case was successful, and I believe that’s a direct result of the exceptional representation I received. It is one thing to have an attorney who knows the process and confident in her work but also most important to follow and trust the attorney’s direction(s). I enjoyed working with Catalina Leff and I am thankful for every support rendered. . I wholeheartedly recommend Ashoori Law, especially Catalina Leff, for anyone pursuing a high-stakes immigration petition such as an EB-1A. Their ability to identify the right legal strategy and deliver with precision and care was exactly what I needed, and I’m incredibly grateful.

I would like to express my most heartfelt gratitude and thanks to Michael Ashoori and the entire Ashoori Law team. I just received my passport with my E2 visa stamp this morning and I boarded my flight to the US tonight. It has been a long and stressful journey with many stops, starts, pivots, and redirections. Along the way my assigned attorney Pardeep Singh was patient and very generous with his time accommodating the twist and turns of my application. He understood how important the application was to me personally; it was not just “another file” for him. He used to tell me, that “on game day (interview date) to ensure the best chances of success, it is critical that the Consular officer have a well-prepared application in front of him” so he was always focused on the smallest details. He delivered on what he and Michael promised, and I was approved. My family and I are very happy!

Thank you again Michael and Pradeep!

I would like to thank Michael Ashoori and his entire team for my E2 approval! I would like to give a very special thank you to my assigned attorney, Pardeep Singh for his dedication, attention to detail, mastery of the law, and the excellent application he presented to the Consulate. Being a seasoned executive with decades of business experience, routinely interacting with “icons and titans” of the hospitality industry from around the world, I already had my own vision of how to portray my business, what documents to produce, and how best it should be presented. Pardeep took all the data, completely dissected it, disregarded nonrelevant items, and reorganized the data and documents so that they were a “natural” fit with all the required elements of the visa. He over engineered my entire file, prepared me for the interview thoroughly, had me repeatedly watch Michael’s interview prep videos, and at the interview all went smoothly and I was approved. I whole heartedly endorse Michael Ashoori, his entire team, and Pardeep! To anybody looking for immigration services, the Ashoori team truly care and take a vested interest in your success.

My business is multinational and the crown jewel is opening my US office. With my E2 approval, I can now pursue my dream of expanding my business in the vast US market. Again, thank you Michael, I am glad I found you!

It was tough, but the Ashoori Law firm made it easier than anything. It was within 4 months, and the case was closed. Officers at Ashoori Law, including John Walton, Charlotte, Matthew Larsen, and especially Attorney RYAN MORGAN KNIGHT. Ryan was exceptionally efficient, knowledgeable, and dedicated to his clients. I was impressed by his promptness and expertise. I actually had concerns about my case and was worried when ICE was deployed to our area, so I requested Attorney Knight to accompany me to the USCIS office. He kindly accommodated my request. John Walton was always busy, but he would surely sort one out.
If you're looking for reliable and skilled immigration attorneys, I highly recommend Ashoori Law, particularly Attorney Ryan Morgan Knight.
NB: I still want to talk to Attorney Michael Ashoori himself.
