B2 visa from Riyadh to attend house warming party ...

[nimmiboy 0]

HI Guys,

I am Pakistani citizen living in Riyadh-KSA. My sister has just passed US citizenship test and will be appeared in oath ceremony in next 2 weeks. I am living with my family here in KSA for last 8 years and want to apply for B2 visa to attend house warming party in January 2017 invited by my sister. Although it was planned in April 2016 but delayed for some reason. My plan is to stay there 2-3 weeks and I have $10K in balance. (offcourse my stay will be in my sister's home and all my expenses of foods and others will be covered by them)

My question is, I will apply next week so It could be a problem if I apply alone because my kids will be engaged in exams those days. And If interviewer may ask about my sister what do I tell him/her, is she green card holder or citizen because she didn't receive her citizenship paper or passport yet? how many chances of my visa acceptance. Although I didn't visit any other country before except KSA. Please share some useful interview tips.

Thanks

If anything, it will help that your kids are staying behind, because you have ties to KSA, to return.

Say that she is a greencard holder unless she has her oath before your go to your interview. But you could mention that she is about to become a citizne, it will be a nice thing to talk about, and another reason for you to visit her to celebrate.

Tell the truth.

Be prepared to tell/show ties to KSA.

Same as every other B2 application.
