B2 Visa Application - Supporting Documents?

[golferadam 0]

I hope everyone is doing well.

We are applying for a B2 visa at the Beijing Embassy for my father-in-law. Seems like the required supporting documentation is much less than what it was when I applied for my wife nearly 10 years ago. Can someone tell me their recommended list of Supporting Documents that my father-in-law should take to the B2 interview in Beijing?

Thanks in advance!

He has to apply on his own merit. He has to show strong ties to home, so that they understand it is his intention to return.

You aren't applying at all. He is and must understand how to comply with the strongest ties rule to have any chance of getting a tourist visa.

Good points. Thanks. Can you elaborate on the best way for him to doucment strong ties? What are family members typically taking to the B2 visa interview at the embassy?

Elaborate? About how someone I don't know should present the facts about what ties him to his country? He has to be able to prove beyond doubt he MUST return.

People don't need to take anything other than a complete understanding of what it takes to present the case.

Documents have very little positive effect on the tourist visa interview.
