USA visa. Is the devil as terrible as he is painted?
I ask experienced to consult on the visa. I work officially, but the official salary is minimal. My husband has a decent income. He has already been to the US. In Ukraine, I have two apartments. There are a lot of Schengen visas in the passport. No children. We can also show deposits. Will I get a visa? For my husband, I don’t see any special reasons not to open it. Thanks to all!

In principle, it’s not so scary, only 34.5% of failures.

So if the husband had a visa, he didn’t even have to go to the consulate, just a questionnaire and a passport by mail.
As far as my personal experience shows (the whole family had visas and many acquaintances) there were both refusals and openings the first time, all this info is the availability of other visas, real estate - movables do not play a special role, a lot depends on the consul himself and on after you fill out your questionnaire, the purpose of the visit and the compliance of the questionnaire with the documents provided

This is a lottery. Everything is unpredictable. I came to the embassy with a bunch of papers, certificates and extracts. Quite by chance, in the folder with all this waste paper was my work pass. A piece of cardboard wrapped in plastic. The organization where I worked rented a room in a building that belonged to the Russian Peace Foundation. On the pass it was written - "United Nations Organization, Council of Europe, Russian Peace Fund" and below the name of my office. "Wow!" said the consul, "United nations! Ai have know quesces." This ended the interview. I received the visa. But the athlete standing in front of me, a participant in a bike ride across the United States planned jointly with the American sports committee, is not.

On the other hand, if you really want to, then you have to give in and not listen to anyone. Even if they refuse, life is not over, there are so many visa-free countries in the world that it is possible not to reach visa-free countries in 50 years.

The two main concerns of the American consul are security and illegal work. It is accepted (I think that all over the world) to fill out a questionnaire and pass an interview. If your family income is stable and not below the national average, if you do not have a criminal record and you are not trying to hide something, the purpose of the visit is clear and transparent. America will submit to you).
Yaroslavas, of course, you need to try, the maximum that the devil can do is eat the fee).

There are two denials. The second time - filed through the company. Paid $500. There was also a tour reservation in America. And booking tickets. And all references. Again refusal. I am from Crimea, but I applied in Kyiv and did not indicate Crimea. It was a year ago....
Is there a chance, again?

I am demonically sorry, but what does "Crimea did not indicate" mean? You should have indicated some place of residence in the questionnaire. And if they indicated false information, then they justly refused, consulates do not like liars.

After two failures, a chance? In the European Union, before the visa-free regime, such tricks were banned for 10 years. I don’t think that America is more generous in this regard, especially since you already got caught twice ...

Well, about the ban is nonsense.
I had 3 rejections so what? I know to whom and for the 6th time a visa was opened.

AllOverTheWorld , Yaroslavas,ollennka -. Thanks for the comments.
If I indicate Crimea as a place of residence, I am unlikely to get a visa.
If I lie, I won't get it either. Interesting movie!
Maybe you should try to get it at the Russian consulate?
But I don’t think Crimea will work..
My friend lives in America. And I want to be there too.
But I honestly would go back! Why complicate the future?

Yuliasaki, you are not looking for a problem there, they give visas to Crimeans (if you do not lie in the questionnaire).
But with an American friend, a tourist visa will not be given. You are a potential immigrant. And even if you also modestly "did not indicate" a friend in the questionnaire, the consul is not an idiot, he sees the level of income in the questionnaire, compares it with the list of countries visited and understands the presence of a secured "sponsor".
If the relationship is serious - apply for a fiancee visa, the consulate will not believe in tourism.

ollennka, read my mind...) AllOverTheWorld, who gave you the reason for the refusal? My opinion, as usual...the culprit is the host. She (the party) was supposed to take part in filling out the questionnaire .... Today, in the age of Facebook and Odnoklassniki, everyone knows about us ... I take my words that I need to try .. I take it back). Now, only he is to you, or on neutral territory.

what is the reason for the refusal?)) they never voice it), or they say duty phrases, I repeat, from personal experience, the first refusal was with a sponsored Canadian visa (it was 2002), when another 10 year olds were not given and it was necessary to wait a year before next submission, then submitted several more times, while the parents already had multiple visas and visits to the United States, the questionnaire was always filled out by myself, there may not be a host (I had one, a brother with US citizenship (not to be confused with a residence permit) the questionnaire indicates only the address and who the host is, if you have a close friend, it is better not to indicate it, but simply choose tourism with the expected route)
99% depends on the consul and how the application form is filled out.
my friend’s parents have been living in the states since the 80s and she was there when she was small, while there were no such visas, and so, she was already denied 6 times, despite the fact that her family is very wealthy and there is a family and children in Ukraine .
but the visa was opened the first time for a friend who purposefully traveled illegally, having previously married fictitiously and indicated in the questionnaire that they were going on a honeymoon trip to Vegas.

AllOverTheWorld What exactly is there with a friend? Maybe it suits me too.
ollennka - Traveling to the other end of the world and getting married there is difficult, without prior intelligence. I have to understand the situation with school, work, housing, etc.
It is better to see once than to hear 100 times.
Thanks everyone! There will be new ideas - write!
