I'm from a visa-exempt country (Canada) but upon entering the USA they ALWAYS want to see my return fare booked. Usually they'll overlook the rest of the 'suggested supporting evidence' if I have at least that (not suggesting you don't supply it though!). I think if you're fairly certain they'll accept your application then it will only help your case to show it.nakatago wrote:bumping this thread because i don't want to start a new one.
this may sound silly but would an airplane booking/itinerary be highly recommended as a supporting document? because for some countries, they'll tell you NOT to book a flight first but they require to see a flight itinerary issued to your name for your visa application. catch-22, i know, but there are ways around it.
The last time I did my visa to go to USA they specifically told me to do the visa first and not buy a ticket.nakatago wrote:bumping this thread because i don't want to start a new one.

Ah, because what I did for another country was call up a travel agent to send me a booking in my name. I had three days to pay up or let it go. I was just worried that I had to this again (fyi, I let go of the booking because I saw better fares).carlsum1986 wrote:The last time I did my visa to go to USA they specifically told me to do the visa first and not buy a ticket.nakatago wrote:bumping this thread because i don't want to start a new one.

I did a sort of a travel plan like this date I plan to do this this and this..
Then I plan to take this flights time dates and flight number.
This was satisfactory for them.
So I guess dont buy a ticket till you get the visa.

Hmmm.....
It can't be used as a supporting document.nakatago wrote:bumping this thread because i don't want to start a new one.

well, that's the idea, given that US visa guidelines are vague*--I was basically asking for anything that has a chance--even a slim one--of helping me prove that I will not overstay. anyway, I've decided to pester my hosts for info and addresses and will be booking a flight with an agent (see prior posts) as soon as I clear another hurdle.longstebe wrote: They have asked how long my stay is for. Of course it's better to have one with you to show if needed.
