3: Your Job, Business, or Other Commitments Can Matter
Imagine two applicants.
One has a large bank balance but cannot clearly explain what they do, why they are traveling, or what will bring them back home.
The other has modest finances but has a genuine job, ongoing responsibilities, and a clear reason for making a short visit.
A visa decision is not simply a competition over who has the biggest bank account.
The Department of State explains that strong ties can include things such as your job, home, and relationships with family and friends.
If you are employed, then be prepared to accurately explain:
1. What you do
2. Where you work
3. How long you have worked there
4. Why you are traveling
5. Why you will return
If you run a business, be ready to explain your actual business activities and responsibilities.
The key word here is genuine.
