Hi all

I am a Ukrainian citizen who just got married to an Israeli citizen and I live in Israel. I don't have an Israeli citizenship yet but I have paperwork permitting me to work and live in Israel . My husband came up with an idea to fly to the United States and have a trip over there. He has been there many times (only as a tourist) and now he wants to take me.  What are my chances in getting a visa and for how long it would be valid for? 

I have never been in America and only in 5 months I will get a temporary identification card stating that I am a temporary citizen in the state of Israel  till I get the permanent one which may take a few years.

Thanks

If you have no real ties to the US, and you have strong ties to Israel, you probably have a good chance of approval as a tourist.  You won't know until you apply.  Good Luck....

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

It all depends on you showing ties to your home country- Israel in this case.  Do you have a good job, are you enrolled in university, will you have kids left behind?  That sort of thing,

 

There are two main types of tourist visa:  one visit visa, valid one year and multiple visit visas, good for ten years.  Many low risk travellers are given the second right away, but don't be surprised if you get a one visit one the first time and then, if you use it correctly and don't overstay, the longer one next time.
