The U.S. visitor visa for family members is a type of visa for applicants who wish to visit the U.S. for a short period to see relatives, family, and friends.
To be able to go to the U.S. for family visits, you need to apply for a B2 non-immigrant visa, also known as a U.S. family visit visa. This visa is issued to individuals holding Vietnamese nationality, allowing you to enter and stay in the United States for the purpose of visiting family or receiving medical treatment, with a maximum stay of 1 year.
However, the actual length of stay is usually a maximum of 6 months, depending on the decision of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services based on the applicant's file.
Preparing all the necessary documents and files is an extremely important step. If there are any omissions or mistakes, your application may be rejected or delayed. So a complete visa application file for visiting relatives in the U.S. includes the following documents:
