hi,

my family is from south africa. they have plans to visit canada. during there stay in canada they asked me if at any point they could apply for USA tourist visa's while in canada in order to travel there if they wanted to? i told them that i dont think that is possible. i am not sure but isnt it that you have to go back to your own country to get a USA tourist visa? anybody who knows anything would be really helpful.

Thanks!

They can apply, but the chances in getting a visa are slim. You can check the link below to fill the application, get more information, and/or get an appointment.

For Visitors in Canada they Said:

"Note to Visitors of Canada:

If the applicant is not a resident of Canada, interviewing officers at the U.S. Consular Sections in Canada may not have experience in evaluating the circumstances in the applicant's country of residence. The applicant will, therefore, have greater difficulty establishing eligibility for a U.S. visa in Canada than would be experienced in the applicant's home country.

A substantial percentage of visitors to Canada are denied visas under these circumstances. Consequently, visitors to Canada are strongly urged to apply for U.S. visas in their country of residence."

FYI: My Dad was approved a B2 Visa, being a visitor in Canada.

The worst that could happen is getting a "no", but you don't lose that much with trying (US$140).

Much better to apply in South Africa.
