You need a B1/B2 visa.

For more advice please post;

*How long have you been living in australia as a PR?
* What is the purpose of your visit to US?
*Is some one spnsoring you from US?
*Do you have any family ties in australia?
*What is your work and what is roughly your salary in australia?

*Lack of family in australia,
*not very good income,
*recently got PR
* brother and sis in US and
*casual purpose of visit

may let the officer think you wish to settle in US like you settled in australia.
Please do not mind but chances are slim.


If you still want to try;

*You should NOT get sponsorship from bro and sis.
Show you are spending your own money.
* Get 3-4 friends and buy a refundable tour package. Do not show you are going to meet bro and sis.If asked, say you will meet bro and sis if
you get time out of itinerary.
*Get a leave cum employment letter from your employer.

Chances are still not great but you could get lucky with a lenient officer.

Australian Permanent Resident visiting US

Hi Peace,
I'm also an Australian Permanent Resident who plans to travel to the US and Canada for 21 days (holiday only) with my husband.
He is an Australian citizen, whom I believe will qualify for the VWV.

My questions are:
- Do I still need B2 visa?
- If so, do I have to be interviewed in person? (Where we live, there's no US consulate)
- My passport is not a machine readable one, will this be a problem?

Your help will be much appreciate!

[peace]

*Yes, your husband will qualify for a VW but you will need a visa.

*Yes, you will need to appear in person to a consulate that serves your area.

*Please visit the website of US consulate in the city closest to where you live.

*If you have a visa you do not need a machine readable passport because the visa is machine readable. Your jusband will need a machine readable passport because he won't carry a visa.
