VISAS TO THE USA
The Department of Homeland Security issues approximately 15 million visas to the USA last year to tourists, students, businessmen and skilled workers. Around 3 million of them were refused because applicants did not meet the specified requirements for the type of visa for the USA they applied for. The choice is vast and applicants need to ensure the following points:
- that they are applying within the correct visa category
- that they have completed the application form acceptably and accurately
- that they have submitted all of the correct supporting documents to the right authorities
- that they have paid the correct fee and undergone biometric tests
