Whoever requires a the visa applies they the embassy. Before they do that they need to understand they have to be able to prove beyond doubt that they MUST return. If they cant or don't do this they will not be granted a visa.

prove of business, house or land ownership. Prove of assets...which usually bank statement...etc...also your cousin (who live in USA) must file AOS and write a letter of intent.

No, the cousin does not have to do this.

Why must the cousin file an AOS and write a letter of intent? Can you show me where any of that is required?

- whoever in USA (cousin) file AOS for the applicant so that when he/she visit USA will not burden government or wellfare..etc...

- my bad - it's not letter of intent, it's actuallly invitation letter from USA(cousin) invite the applicant to visit USA

- Assett such as car, house, land, or business, and bank statment of applicant which prove to the US embassy that you will return

An AOS and invitation letter is neither required or helpful.

A visitor visa applicant does not need an AOS from someone in the US.

A visitor visa applicant does not need a letter of invitation from someone in the US.

Where are you getting the information that an AOS or invitation letter is required?

Just wondering why the Nephew is incapable of completing the application?

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Thanks you all.

The nephew doesn't know how to read/write English.

He had few businesses in Cambodia, Jewelry Store, Farm with few employees, rent, etc. So, yes he would go back.

@ RHettVoe

Where is he going to get a B2 visa costume? And why does he want to dress up as this type of visa?

Then what other visa can a foreigner visit USA? All I can think of is B2 visa (for pleasant visit only)

Read a few thread esp from http://www.visajourney.com/content/visitor-visa-guide and some helpful tips:

The presumption in the law is that every visitor visa applicant is an intending immigrant. Therefore, applicants for visitor visas must overcome this presumption by demonstrating that:

  • The purpose of their trip is to enter the U.S. for business, pleasure, or medical treatment;
  • That they plan to remain for a specific, limited period;
  • Evidence of funds to cover expenses in the United States;
  • Evidence of compelling social and economic ties abroad; and
  • That they have a residence outside the U.S. as well as other binding ties that will insure their return abroad at the end of the visit.

Applicants must demonstrate that they are properly classifiable as visitors under U.S. law by:

  • Evidence which shows the purpose of the trip, intent to depart the United States, and arrangements made to cover the costs of the trip may be provided. It is impossible to specify the exact form the documentation should take since applicants' circumstances vary greatly.
  • Those applicants who do not have sufficient funds to support themselves while in the U.S. must present convincing evidence that an interested person will provide support.
  • Depending on individual circumstances, applicants may provide other documentation substantiating the trip's purpose and specifying the nature of binding obligations, such as family ties or employment, which would compel their return abroad.

to OP: you said that your cousin wanted to visit the US 'as a B2 visa'....not 'with a B2 visa'...sounded like he wanted to disguise himself as a B2 visa.

hehehehe got u smile.png

English is the problem? The embassy webpage is also in Khmer. http://khmer.cambodia.usembassy.gov/index.html

Yes it's in Khmer but not the online DS-160
