I need some advice here.
I'm flying to U.S this August to study.
Should i book the flying ticket through travel agency or expedia directly?
Which is cheaper?

A big family group of us are planning to travel to USA next year to attend a wedding. But Im lost in trying to find out more visa application information from the above site. Can anyone help me on this please?

1) What is the requirement of applying visa?

2) Is it better to apply in KL or HK? I heard in HK it is simplier and easier, but it costs around HK$1100 for applicationi.

3) Is there a rule that single lady would usually fail in application? even thou she has letter to proof of her employment in Msia and with $ in bank account?

4) what is the requirement of having how much saving in bank account?

5) What are the procedures to apply visa? Since we dont live in KL, it is going to be a difficult for us cos we need to bring the whole family for a trip to KL first.

6) I heard there are interviews with appointment, is it possible that we make it on the same day so that everyone get interviewed on the same day? Cos we have elders and young babies... it is really going to be very messy

7) how long would it take to know the result?

8) how to collect the visa? within the day or few days later? Do we have to go in person again? Imagine the family traveling to gether in KL, preferbly if some go back hometown first, one adult stay back to collect them all, etc.

9) how long is the validity? I heard once approved, it is a 10 year visa? So i can have my first entry anytime within next ten years?

Any of your opinions/sharings will be very much appreciated! Or kindly direct me to continue seeking else where. Many Thanks!

no man, is wear tie nice and tidy guy.

is damn suay yo.

err.. would recommend agency... they know jalan 2 find d cheapest... they charge rm100

cheapest so far is northwest or united

1) requirement is u must have strong evidence that u will return 2 msia and also the reason why u r going there... evidence includes $$$$, propertity titles, businesses, jobs in msia...

2) in msia it is 400-500+ ringgit...

3) there's no rules but single female is very suspicious as they might go there n be a whore.. so it is better she has employment proof, $$$ in the bank, car n property title in msia

4) for WAT it is 500usd, studies it is 25k usd, for tour d more d better... no rules

5) go to a tour agency say u wanna book tix, they will tell u d steps... 1) get all documents, 2nd get ur picta taken for visa 2x2inch, 3) bank in visa $$$ into alliance bank (amount u check on9), after paying schedule for interview and fill in nessacary ds forms... 4) go interview

6) yes, can go interview in a group, no problemo

7) on the day it self.... but new rules got security check so might take sometimes 2 weeks longer if u r unlucky.

8) they will put it in wisma mca, u gotta go back there later... no they will give u a card, any1 with d card can go collect for ya

9) tourist maybe 6 months, 5 years / 10 years... depennds...

10) best is ur contact d counsellor...

working there as a illegal? if u have proper valid h1b/h1a/green card visa i dont see why he cant return...

i wear checkers shity n jeans, spiky hair with earing also can lar XD

as long u know how 2 talk can d... these officers r trained to check ur facial expressions whether u r lying or not... bla bla bla..

so download d CIA interrogation handbook, and see how they profile ppl... then u know how 2 play their game lor

1. Visit https://www.vfs-usa-my.com/

2. It is always simpler to apply for visa in your home country. And if not mistaken you pay the fee in USD and I believe its the same no matter where you go.

6. All interviews are with appointment only. You only need one interview letter per family, but you have to find out their definition of family. From https://www.vfs-usa-my.com/ApplnForms/faqs.aspx#15:

Children 13 and under do not need to appear in person. However, if the child is not present, only the parent or legal guardian of a minor child can apply for a tourist visa on behalf of that child. Parents or legal guardians must provide proof of relationship or legal guardianship status such as an original birth certificate or other court documents. Please note that applicants for student visas (F, M and J) who are 13 and under must be interviewed.

I personally would never go to a private/commercial website, always go to the official US embassy website. You never know what sort of data they're keeping about you. I know the CIA is probably keeping data about me but why the hell should another company be doing so

The official website is http://malaysia.usembassy.gov/

Good call! I never realized that this was a private website.

hi SeLrAhC...impress with ur working experience and earn such big bucks...hrmm...u still studying?y u can join so many times for the program want?

Correct me if i am wrong. If you go to the abovementioned website to check for information for visa application, in the end it will also bring you back to the so called private/commercial website, https://www.vfs-usa-my.com/Home.aspx

experience working lame jobs... lol.. err, done with studies... doing masters end of this year... going graduation in a couple of months... done with classes

coz... errr... why not? engineering 4 years... 3 years WAT and 1 year industrial training in msia ^^

ohh then do u defer ur study?

hey yo, reporting from USA. been working here for 3 weeks. everything is awesome here!


what? the last person i saw with the mask is in japan during transit. in the place that i'm currently located, there is no single person with mask.

If u go west coast, when you touch down LA, you can go Universal Studio, Disney Land, Hollywood, Santa Monica and San Diego Zoo, further you can goto LV and Grand Canyon, all these are nice place to go...
i'm now staying at Santa Rosa, 1 hour drive from San Francisco.

Crime rate in big city USA normal-lah.. no big deal... same like elsewhere too. eg. Melbourne, Sydney, London. As long you stay away from those dark alleys or gangsta area, you are safe.

Malaysian students usually stay on around University campus and very safe. Most people
study in Midwest area - smaller town - more friendly, safe and cheaper. Infact some places cost
of living is cheaper than KL or Penang.

I will visit USA again next month for business trip.
