B2 Visitor Visa from Morocco to USA

[moroccan love 0]

We have a friend we have invited to visit us in the USA.  

 

He know what is required per the website, however, we have heard a certain amount of money MUST be in his bank account before being considered. 

 

Has anyone experienced this and if so what is the amount?

 

He will not have any expenses to travel or while he is in the USA.  

 

He has a  car, an apartment, a good job and a family all in Morocco.

 

He has traveled outside of Morocco previously, as a student. 

 

We are aware nothing is guaranteed, but we would like to help him have everything ready before submitting an application. 

 

Thank you

I thought that the main caveat in getting a visitor was being able to prove ties to your home country. I had never heard anything about a required amount of money except maybe if it was a long (several months) visit then they might want to know how you'll pay for it. 

It sounds like your friend should be able to prove ties with his job/family/home.

There is no set amount of money that needs to be in the bank. It is a misconception.

 

What should be shown is that the applicant has enough funds to pay for a trip to US. Also, be wary of friends and family trying to deposit large sums of money into the bank account of the applicant to show they have more money than actually. This may cause more harm than good as the CO may see it as a red flag.

Yes, this.
