Obtaining a tourist visa for Syrian nationals

[jmt111 0]

I understand that it is very difficult for Syrians to obtain tourist visas because of the difficulty in proving that they will leave the US after the 6 months of their visa. Does anyone know whether foreign service officers are granting tourist visas anymore? If so, what can possibly prove that a Syrian will return? For example, if a Syrian wants to visit the US to attend a wedding, is there anything that can convince an officer that the Syrian will leave the US afterwards?

6 months is that maximum usual permitted stay, most visitors I would expect come for days/weeks.

Unless you are doing general research, presumably you are interested in whether you can obtain a visa. The only way to find out is to apply.

The legal time to stay is what the CBP stamped in your PP,

after 6 months in the country on a tourist visa one becomes

an illegal, many ppl seem to think they can stay the complete

6 months over the 3, 4, 6 wks given, to stay past that time would

be a good idea to apply for an extension with evidence of

reason, staying until the day B4 six mths is up will have U been

questioned most time by the CBP upon rturn here...with the possibility

of denial to enter.
