Hi guys, i know this topic has been discussed several times but many of them seems like renewing. I want to do a fresh visa application. Planning to travel this year probably during winter time cool myself Can any good souls give me the correct ways to get this done the easy way? Thank you so much

What easy way you want? This is USA Visa, not Malaysia Visa got jalan one nudge, nudge, wink, wink, just senyum sinis.

Go the website, make your application according to the instructions. Make sure you have all the supporting documents and evidencs, even down to your mader fader birth dates. Arrange the interview, and hope you are given the Visa.

There is no other way for a normal tourist visa to USA.

This is exactly why i asked because theres way too many websites with links and so on. I just want a help on layman steps to go thru since many have done it before. Some guidance will be great

The correct answer would be

"Follow instructions as requested"

https://my.usembassy.gov/visas/

This. Follow the exact steps.

I just did in Dec last year. Once the application submitted and fees paid, I scheduled for an interview.
Turn up to the embassy an hour before the time following the exact instruction given. No electronic, big bags and so on.
Went in for the interview, follow the queue as instructed, and answered exactly 3 questions;

1. Which state are you visiting?
2. What is the purpose of the visit?
3. Who is funding this visit?

Total of 45 seconds interview. The officer informed "approved" and passport will be ready for collection/delivery immediately once answered all the questions.
Interview time at 8am and out of embassy at 820am.

May I know how many years visa they give u? I saw some ppl only give a year or 5 years, some lucky even 10 years

excuse me, what do you mean??

just use the official website and instructions on the embassy website

do not get scammed

only you can apply for yourself,

and its very easy

besides having to go queue outside on the interview day

Because as Malaysians, we are programmed to look for jalan belakang first, or maybe got runner can do for us easily

TS, you must be honest if you have any social network account in the last 10y

Friend been reject because lying

Normally give 10y

Like seriously, stop that bunch of trolling nonsense in a serious thread. It wasnt that way i meant this thread for.

What i meant the easy way is, instead of go cracking my head all over the net for answers, i can easily get the answers here from the experienced ones on the exact steps to do they have done this before, it makes my life more easier to go thru it.

Make sure a had return ticket, hotel reservations doc, if go like Disneyland.. get ticket ready first

Prep this if TS has this in mind.

Immigration officer still can deny TS masuk even have b2 b1 visa

You need to prove yourself has intention to return and not like others intention not to go back

But US website already said do not book anything in advance till visa approved worr

You google for "USA visa" and the very first result is the official embassy website. On that website everything is given to you: the steps you need to take, the documents you need, the process, the waiting time, the length of your visa, what you need to do and don't. Everything is explained to you.

You ask here you get someone saying "make sure a had return ticket" which the website specifically cautions you NOT to do. So which do you follow?

You say the other threads are about renewal, but I know that most threads have been about their first time. I also have posted my experience with my name having First, Middle and Last using Taylor Swift (Middle name Alison) as my example of what to expect in the interview.

So you call my post trolling, which is fine. But at least be honest with yourself about why you started the thread la.

not just social media,

all of your emails tooo

lucky my racism align with usa, and i have never posted anything about palestine

but got a lot even with private ig they found anti jew posts, and questioned
visa rejected

and you stated as well

Just follow what is stated on the website for the process and instructions. Only get the personal experience from within this forum.

But I can tell you that I have heard stories from a friend of a friend, they said that they heard of someone who got their visa application rejected. But I personally, nor any of my family and friends, have been rejected. I think as long as you are not a criminal, have the funds and can prove a link back to Malaysia like owning a house, have a job, parents still around, you won't be rejected. Heck, I've never married, no kids, at the right age to overstay, working in the industry easy to get employed in USA and I still got my visa approved! And they were right, because I have visited 3 times already over the last 10 years, and have never done anything illegal there or overstayed.

But I can't say for sure for you, because I'm not embassy staff. You just have to follow the instructions with your backing documents and apply. No other way about that.

This finally made sense to me why people sit in the park in the afternoon after I visited that first time


Edit to add : You must have a plan of what you want to do if they ask you in the interview, but don't buy any tickets yet.

You can get flight itinerary from any travel agency. The ticket is on hold and not ticketed (upon complete payment). Just present that be sufficient. The 'on hold' ticket will lapse by certain days

10 years. I applied the visa for a conference visit in Atlanta. So maybe professional given 10 years automatically.
