Pakistani applying for tourist visa!! Rate my profile.

[ahmedmasu]

Hi All,

I am 27 year old single male and working as Technical Consultant in Riyadh, KSA.
My annual package is around $30k and I am working here for 2 years now.
I already have 10 year multiple visa of UK and I also visited London last year, but this is the only country I have visited other than Saudia & Pak(my homeland).

I do not have any relative or extended family living in USA.

Please rate my profile and what are my chances of getting a visa. Moreover, how can I improve the chances as I have some friends in USA, should I mention them ?
My original plan is to visit USA in September with my cousin. My cousin is British national, should I mention this during my interview ?


Any help would be great

What is the purpose of your visit?

Is your company sending you for some official reason (B1)?, or
You would like to visit USA on your own for tourism purpose (B2)?

Seems like you applied earlier also? What was the result?

No, I didnt apply as yet but will be applying in coming months.
I will be going for tourism purpose only.

Chances are pretty less for young singles to get B2 visa. You will be treated as "Potential Immigrant" to USA.

Always.. always.. be honest at the interview to any questions about who you know, or whom you're traveling with, if asked by the visa officer.
Last year you said "..I don't know anyone in US.." Now you say you have "..some friends in USA..". What changed?

I said I have no relatives but some friends who are living there.

Come-on, now a days almost everyone has one or more friends living in USA. You don't need to mention details of "friends". Immediate relatives does makes sense to be disclosed.

I was simply pointing out discrepancies between OPs statements. They may not matter here on the forum, but to VOs, discrepancies can be a whole different ballgame.
