Chances of Approval?

[IslandGirl4 0]

So im a 21 year old single female from an Island called Trinidad in the Caribbean. When the US Embassy opens back up in my country I am planning to apply for my B2 Visa.

I am unemployed however, In March I will be starting University. I'll be doing a two year program in Business Management. 

My grandmother will be visiting the US next year (when borders open back up) and im planning on going with her only for 7 days. Technically, i'll also be visiting my relatives as well since thats the purpose of my grandmother's visit.

The trip will be funded by my parents who owns their own small businesses. My entire immediate family are in Trinidad. However, I have 5 relatives in the US who are citizens. 

My family and I have applied for our B2 visas before way back in 2011 but we were denied. 

I have traveled once before to a Venezuelan island called Margarita back in 2019. 

If I were to give a consular officer the same information that I gave here, what would be my chances of approval.  

(PS-I know for a fact ties are not something that I have a lot of.)

The only way for you to find out is to apply. However, based on what you just said, there's a higher probability of you getting denied than approved. Being single, unemployed and a trip funded by someone other than yourself - these things don't help much. Not only that, you have family members in the US and some COs would be assuming you try to enter and stay illegally beyond a holiday visit. You need to show stronger ties to your home country. Prior overseas travel history would be a great advantage too.

 

Sorry if that sounds harsh but I've prior experience as a single lady, subjected to unwarranted interrogation during visa interview, accused of stuff I never thought about doing and also denied a B-2
