Hi

I would really appreciate some help regarding US Visit Visa please.

My Wife ( British National ) is going to USA for a Conference in San Francisco and staying there for couple of weeks, so me and my daughter ( British National )are planning to go with her as I already booked holidays from work. My understanding is they both can get ESTA but I need to apply for a Visit Visa. The hotel is booked under her name from work so I need to know what documents do I need also do I need to tell them on a form I have FLR FP Visa and I overstayed my visa previously ??
Documents I am attaching

Hotel Booking ( Wife's name )
Payslip
Bank Statement
Work Letter about my job
Biomatrics residence card
Passport
national ID Card ( Pakistan )
Council Tax

Do I need any other documents ??


Thanks

I believe the visa to which he referred is a UK visa.

It was confusingly stated. The US doesn’t care if he overstayed in the UK. His post could be that he currently has a UK family visa but previously overstayed a US visa. They will obviously care about that.

 

Not clear if OP currently living in the UK or elsewhere (Pakistan?) OP, your list of documents sounds fine, most important will be the ones showing ties to return home, wherever that is at the moment. If it was a US visa you overstayed previously obviously that must be declared on the application and could be a problem.

Hi thanks for prompt reply, I never travelled to US before and yes I did overstayed my Visa in UK. Currently I have UK family Visa which I have to extend every 30 months before I get Citizenship in 24 months.

I can also attach my Mortgage papers to show strong ties to UK, my Mrs travelling end of March so I think I am going to apply ASAP, also how much do I have to show in my bank, as currently my statement is overdrawn..... we are planning to spend atleast 2 weeks in US.

 

No I cannot apply for ESTA but I will book an appointment with US Embassy in London.

I am assuming they are British Citizens, British Nationals is something else.

 

You apply and find out, your situation is what it is.

 

How you can afford the trip is confusing, but not usually a question.

Sounds good.
