Financial Statement for a Tourist Visa

[Diamond Lee 0]

Hello!  My boyfriend and I have been dating for almost two years long distance and now have decided to meet in person in my home country because I am unable to travel at this moment.  He is working full time and has his own home however he is not making the type of money America said he should be making.  We have everything to file the tourist visa but his salary is not above standard.  Can he still file for tourist visa and can I show my financial ppapers?

There's no salary requirement for tourist visas. They just look at the totality of circumstances for each applicant. 

 

The only relevant question here on the DS-160 is the "Who will pay for your trip?" question. If you're saying he doesn't have enough to afford the trip on his own, just fill out the question accordingly and have him put your name as the person who pays.

Nothing to do with you, well except as a negative.

 

They do ask about his job, I did not think they asked about his income?

 

When will you be able to travel?

Good to have a back up plan.

Keep in mind he can bring supporting evidence to the interview but the CO isn't required to look at it. It seems in most cases they don't, the decision is usually based off of the DS-160 application alone.

 

Just make sure he is 100% honest and answers all questions truthfully.
