US B2 Tourist Visa from UAE

[Jahan 0]

Hello. 

 

I have plans to apply for US tourist visa, I am working as Accountant in UAE for more than 2 years at the same Company, earlier worked in Oman only for 4 months. I have recently made a trip to Georgia, my intention for US trip is on September 2018, the month my annual leave is due. 

 Last year my Canadian Visit Visa was rejected.

 

I have a Secure Job, I earn AED 5000 (around $1400) monthly so far my savings at bank reache $5000. I have plans to book for destination to destination and keep the documents to exhibit during my visa interview. My employment letter, NOC from Company, Approved leave letter would also be with me. I will be mentioning to stay in US only for 2 weeks at interview (which is genius intended period of my stay at US). I don’t have any relatives or friends in US. There is nothing to lie.

 

What are my Chances of US B2 visa getting approved. 

please guide me.

Thank You for your Reply. 

 

What is the Minimum Salary that would Enough for this purpose?

Does sound low, are you Chartered?

[Auds 223]

Its much more than salary amount!  This amount is very low for Dubai - I lived there all my life so I know.  Applicants with 4 times that - about 20,000 get refused.  I think you are single - that doesn't help either.

 

So if your salary was at least 18-20K
You are married with kids

have property in Dubai

or business in Dubai

travelled to at least 2-3 'Western countries' in past 5 years

It may work - still with all of above many get refused.

its a long way for you...

I am working late and too tired to explain - but it is what it is.  Your ties to Dubai are considered weak.

I have spent hours sitting in the embassy on 4 occasions and I observed closely.  Also, know lots of people and have done extensive research.

Jahan - 5000, will barely get you a room of your own + basic food in Dubai.  That doesn't constitute ties to Dubai.  If you are comfortable with at least 35K per month, married, senior job, travelling often (low cost holidays like Georgia don't count) it would give you a real chance.

Thank for sharing your experience

Now you’re sounding desperate to go to the US....

 

I don’t know anything about specifics of Dubai, but what I do know is that’s it’s unusual (and therefore suspicious) for companies to sponsor overseas trips for low-paid employees (on the last statement, I’m just going by what Auds has said). In the cases where such visas are approved it is usually for a specific conference or training and the visas are often single use and limited to short time periods around said conference or training.

My Brother is an Accountant and visited the US many times on business.

 

You never answered what sort of Accountant you are?

On the face of things on first post I would have thought had an ok chance at getting a visa, but that is without considering it is apparently not well paid.

 

OP didn’t mention what passport he holds. May or may not be a factor.

[Auds 223]

In Dubai bookkeepers get called Accountants...

 

No your company sponsorship would not work.

Something no doubt the Consulate  will be aware of.

[Auds 223]

Yes - when someone says "There is nothing to lie" just randomly in a first post - they don't understand that many of us have been round the block and know what that means... trained consular officers for sure.

You are correct sir. But don't say anything about it because then you will be called rude.
