NEED GUIDANCE ON US TOURIST VISA FROM PAKISTAN

[Boiler 45,956]

There are no statistics that would help.

I am surprised that so many people in Pakistan wish and can afford to visit the US.

Boiler,

Sara,

My job and business is not sufficient to show strong ties to my home country?

Aaron,

Yes you're right. The only thing to know if I get visa is to apply.

But I want to know by you peoples expert advice that what are my chances of getting visa from Pakistan.

You qualify for the visa based on your circumstances. You can't change them. No one here is an expert on chances of getting a visa. You are asking a bunch of unqualified people on the Internet about something that none of us can give you an answer to because no one here has the statistics from the US Embassy.

Everyone has an opinion based on guesses. No one has facts you can rely on.

[Boiler 45,956]

It is predominately a fact based process.

No experts on here.

Why do you care what others think the chances are?

Aaron,

Yes you're right. I should apply first. Because nobody knows anything about this.

But experience gives some idea. That's why I have decided to start this topic. But I think the best thing is to apply.

One more thing. Should I hire any consultant to help me with this whole process?

Boiler,

I'm just here to get some idea.

[Boiler 45,956]

I have applied for a B.

From memory the application is pretty straightforward, what is it that you need help with?

Boiler,

Is my age very less to prove that I do not intend to settle there?

I have business along with a job. I'm working for one company since 4 years.

The forms to apply for a tourist visa are very simple to complete. There's nothing a consultant can do with them that you can't do yourself and there's nothing a consultant can do to guarantee your approval (no matter what they might tell you) so that would be a waste of money.

Just apply, answer all questions honestly and you'll be either approved or denied. There are no tricks or secrets to increase your chances. It all comes down to if the CO interviewing you believes if you'll return home or not.

It's not a fair process, it's not an efficient process, but it's the only one the US has for tourists.

[Boiler 45,956]

People of your age obviously have less ties usually.

People move Jobs all the time,

MacUK,

Thank you for your response.

Boiler,

I'm a taxpayer and working for one company for 4 years which is a plus I guess.

And I have my own business started recently in 2014.

I think you may have chance. But like they keep telling you no one knows for sure. You can do this stuff yourself. Just apply and then reply back when you get approved or denied. Then you can pay it forward for someone else in the same situation. Good Luck to you

based on experiences of people from this site, which is what you are asking, your chances are just about zero. The only way to find out for sure is to apply. Period.
