Help on self sponsored B2 visa

[Wondergal]

Hello Everyone,

I am glad to see this community where people are sharing their experiences and helping others.

So this is going to be my first ever visa interview. I wish to travel US next month <wanderlust>, this trip will be self sponsored and for three week with proper leave sanction letter from my organization.

I have two doubts:

1. i have around 2200 USD in my bank account but 5000 USD in form of liquid cash (mutual funds and other investment) which are reedemable, is it enough to show funding for tourist visa.

2. i have a friend in Seattle where i am planning to stay in my starting days to cover Washington and other nearby places , Does he need to furnish any documentation as i am giving his name for contact person and place where i am going to stay.


Thanks in advance

1. There are no set guidelines on 'how much' but VO would like to see good monthly income to convince him that you will not stay back in USA. They generally don't see your bank accounts or other properties.

2. No
