Is it possible to get a B-2 visa?
How realistic is it to get a B-2 visa without having a permanent job, provided that my friend, who is not my relative, not my fiancé, invites me to the USA. He bears all expenses. Is it possible for me to get a visa? How high is the acquisition percentage?

If you manage to prove your close connection with your homeland, then everything is possible. And the proof of such a connection is a well-paid job (whether permanent or not, the main thing is that the income should be good), the presence of real estate here (your personal), family, children. Although miracles do occur, I do not recommend believing in them.

The height of the percentage in this situation is zero + visa costs (payment for an interview is taken in advance) + for arrival in the city where the embassy, accommodation .. Do not bother. I fully agree with the last phrase of TERPSIXORA.

If you convince the consular officer that you will not stay in the US illegally and return back, they will give you. I think it's better not to say that you have friends in the USA. Personally, from the docks, I only submitted a passport, a questionnaire, a plan (route) of my stay in America and that's it. The interview lasted max. 30 sec. They asked only one question: where and when was the last time you were abroad? And that's it.

In free form, write when you plan to arrive in the United States, where. What are you going to visit, attractions, cities where you plan to live, etc. For example, 09/01/2010 - arrival in New York, JFK / flight No. 111. Transfer to the hotel - ...... 09/2/2010 - visit to the Statue of Liberty, etc. Return flight - 09/10/2010 No. 222. Print it out and staple it to the application form. There will be more questions, I will be happy to answer. Good luck

Thank you! The question is, how long ago was that? Did you submit these documents for a B2 visitor visa? And why, then, is there no invitation and a copy of the passport of the inviting party in the list, or are they not needed? And if you do not specify that you are going to a friend/relative, then what place of residence is better to indicate? I heard that there are agencies / people in Kyiv who help prepare for an interview, do you think you should use their services?

I'll chime in a little - I think it's worth using such services. You have a lot of questions, here they advise based on their experience, and everyone’s experience and situations are different, and there you will be answered by those who sent people to your local American embassy more than once, those who know that they are asking there. When my daughter received a student visa, they were collected by the student center (program administrator) for a consultation, where they really coached the children, what and how it would be, how to behave, what to come, what questions they would (or could) ask, what to answer, they told how everything will go from the gates of the embassy. Because you can answer all the questions and not get a visa - this often happens, and without explanation.
By the way, I confirm the above - indeed, during an interview, your visit to any foreign country plays a role right away (most of all they appreciate your visit to America, if it was - and they practically don’t ask any more questions). Why? - because this, in their understanding, suggests that since you went to another country (especially the USA) and returned back, this means that this is another confirmation of your lack of intention to lag behind in their precious America.

Another question is whether such services cost such money, for example $ 1000 (as I was told in one of these offices)?

It may be worth contacting such consultants, but how can you find them? Accidentally met an advertisement where schA 2500 promise to open a cartoon for 5 years without ATTENTION: certificates of income from work, interviews. Don't get fooled. If you are promised an easy way - this is definitely a scam! The maximum that such offices can do is to check the correctness of filling out the questionnaires, the availability of all necessary documents, and, well, psychological assistance in preparing for an interview. Roughly speaking, when issuing a visa, it all depends on whether the officer likes you or not.

There are such consultants, it is worth typing in the search engine "US Visa" or "US Visa Help". And all of them are taken only for assistance in preparing documents, making an appointment for an interview and preparing for an interview. For an interview yourself! That's the question, was the above worth the money. As for me, such - RED price for such services is $ 100-200!

I completely agree! a thousand dollars is too much.
Look for an office not by ads, but by recommendations, or find student centers, for example, where they actually send students abroad, ask for a consultation or similar meeting for a nominal fee, since there are managers who are constantly interviewing at the embassy and each group of students is led there personally. I mean, they really know the nuances there, they can help, and they don’t promise any whim for your money.
