PranavJ Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Hello, I'm planning to visit my sister and brother-in-law next month during my holidays. I'm 22, single and a student of a reputed college. My brother-in-law is going to sponsor my trip and is in a very healthy financial condition. However, I've read on my forums that it is almost impossible to get a B2 VISA for a student. Is it true? What are my chances of getting a VISA? Link to comment
jairichi Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 It is tough to get a visitor visa in your case as you need to establish strong ties to home country. Link to comment
ashuneel Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Your chances are slim. You can apply if you feel confident that all papers are in order and tell them the truth. Link to comment
anands16 Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 If you had traveled outside India before, it would help. That being, I said I have seen students from India getting B2 visa. Dont stress about it, just be honest and prepare for the relevant questions. It will help if you can show that you have college to attend in India after vacations and/or if you have any job offer in hand in India. Good Luck Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 If you treat the Interview as routine and do not overthink responses and answer spontaneously and truthfully , you will get your visa. Keep your educational transcripts and such handy and get a letter from the college stating your course and when it ends and also when summer vacations start. Link to comment

I have college bonafide certificate and college id card. Is that enough? Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Only one way to find out. Link to comment
PranavJ Posted May 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Only one way to find out. haha what i meant is should i get a letter from the principal too along with these documents? Between, I also have educational transcripts of all my completed years Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Keep the certificates handy. Do not show it to the VO unless he asks. Do not answer questions not asked. Tell him you are going for a 5 week vacation to see your Folks and also do some sightseeing based on where they are located. Statue of Liberty, as appropriate. If you do not listen to others and take it cool, you will get your visa. A smile and some eye contact will do wonders for you anywhere. Let us know what happens. Link to comment
