Flight Tickets For Tourist Visa

[nick.cryl]

hello everyone,
I have a question regarding tourist visa.As mentioned, I need to show the flight booking dates in visa application.so my questions are:
1. How can I book Flight Ticket as I dont know visa will approve or not.as if i book a flight then no sense and waste of money if visa reject.
2. How this visa dates allocate like I need to go, in certain dates visa granted like for example if visa approved from 1 july 2015 to 15 august 2015...so i need to visit in this time (the dates) Or Its the time period ??
3. And if I need to visit in this time period then what if no flights available .... the time will over and my visa period will over also ??

1. Typically visa is applied when you have a good idea of travel plan. However it can be tentative dates. Other option is to book refundable tickets.
2. Visa is typically valid from the date of stamping to a specific period like 3 months. Your date of entering US must be within this period.
3. US consulate does not have any responsibility on your travel. It is better to plan your travel dates in advance and arrange for visa interview about 1-2 months ahead of that date.
