USA tourist visa on Canadian work permit

[Dark07 0]

Hii Guys,

 

 

I have a USA visa appointment in Toronto during the second week of August. I am a recent graduate currently on a work permit and actively searching for NOC A jobs. In the meantime, I am working at McDonald's to support myself.

 

My concern is whether the visa officers will ask about my current job during the interview. If they do, is it acceptable to mention my role at McDonald's, or do I need to show experience in a NOC A job? Will my position at McDonald's negatively impact my USA visa interview? Should I consider rescheduling the interview until I secure a more stable job?

 

I appreciate any guidance or advice you can offer.

 

Thanks

Most B2 applications are decided by what is put on the DS160.  The CO may or may not ask any questions regarding work experience, but if they do you need to answer truthfully.

 

Good Luck!

Pretty sure the DS160 asks for employment, so you already listed it there? 

 

From what you have posted, I would be expecting a denial.

The US immigration officers aren't likely to even know what a NOC A job is (not least because the old NOC skill levels have been replaced by the TEER system!), they won't care what your job is - only that you have one to return to. And as above, you must have given that info on the DS-160 anyway?

 

Incidentally, if you're hoping for a skilled job in Canada so that you can stay longer and/or apply for PR, don't focus just on NOC A jobs - without any work experience that may be a stretch. B would do as well and you'd be surprised how many jobs fall under that category, even jobs that you wouldn't think are skilled. Although as above, note that they would now be called TEER's 2 and 3!

 

Good luck.
