Hi Guys ,

I have two questions within the U.S visa form that i am not quite clear ,

I am applying , and just got stuck on these followings
A questions telling about the U.S contact in the option "Relationship to you"
I only have my uncle and aunt living other there, what i have to choose regarding for the concern of relationship to me :
Is it Relative or Other ?

The other question is about the type of visa :
I want just a tourism visa , the purpose of trip is ok , " Temp. Business Pleasure Visitor (B)
But i doubt what to specify , is it Business & torurism (Temp Visitor) B1/B2 ?
Or
Tourism/ Medical Treatment (B2) ?

Look forward to your reply.

How long do you plan to be in the US - or how often over a number of years?

Sorry but I don't have any recent experience in applying for a US visa, but hopefully someone reading this will have an answer for you.

Your profile says you're from Haiti, which if true, means there is a 71% chance of your Visa being refused. If you're a young adult, single or unemployed, then the refusal rate rises to nearer 100%.

I can't assist on the relative issue, especially whether nominating an uncle/aunt will assist your application. Is it compulsory that you must nominate a US contact? You are applying for the B1/B2 Visa ... that's my understanding. Good luck ... sounds like you might need it.

The B1 visa is a business visa, but not for employment. It is for attending business meetings, giving speeches, attending a short training class, etc. The B2 tourist visa is for tourism (including visiting friends & family), plus coming to the US specifically for medical treatment. Many people apply for the combined B1/2, even if they don't anticipate business travel, because the cost and paperwork are the same. If you do not envision any business travel to the US, you may want to only apply for the B1. Most Haitians receive a B1, B2, or B1/2 that is valid for multiple entry over 5 years.

The two main tings you have to demonstrate is that you have sufficient funds for your trip and that you have such strong ties to Haiti that you will definitely return. The strong ties are more important than the money.

Strong ties include things like a job, ownership of a business, being accepted into university, owning property, having a lease on a flat, having bank accounts or other investments. Then there are "social ties." A spouse and children, or at least lots of friends & family in Haiti, Belonging to a church, a sports group, or a club that is very important to you. Needing to return to attend a wedding or celebrate Grandmother's 100th birthday. Your elderly parents rely on you for money or other support.

Yes, put down "relative" for your ant & uncle.
