It is known that Americans are very sensitive to their statehood and the well-being of their own. Many would like to settle in. However, as they say, America is not rubber, they love guests in it, but uninvited guests who remain on the territory of the country without permission are not very favored. At the American embassy, ​​visa applicants are denied more often than at the embassies of other countries. This is due to the fact that there are too many people who want to stay in this country.

What does a US tourist visa look like?

If you decide to go to the States, then you need to prove your ardent desire to return to your homeland. One of the strongest evidence is a certificate from work. Often it is she who motivates the positive response of the consular staff.

Quite a painstaking process. Each document submitted must be perfect. A certificate from the place of work is something that will definitely be paid attention to. It will be your evidence that you:

  • Are required to return home and do not plan to stay in the US.
  • You receive a salary, which means that you are solvent and will be able to pay for your stay abroad.

You should not discount the fact that people who work in reputable companies and have decent experience are trusted. This suggests that they are responsible, law-abiding citizens who will not create problems and pose a threat to American well-being.

When contacting the Human Resources Department for a document required for obtaining a visa to the United States, do not rely entirely on the specialists of your enterprise. Be sure to check whether the certificate from the place of work is correctly drawn up, whether it contains accurate and reliable data about you, whether the necessary signatures and seals are present.

This is what a certificate of employment looks like

To have an accurate idea of ​​what should be issued at the enterprise, carefully study the sample. Take information only from the official website of the embassy, ​​which contains updated current data. Take the form seriously, as it can open your way to the States or become an obstacle to visiting them. It must contain:

  1. The exact details of your company.
  2. Company address.
  3. Name (brand and trademark, if different).
  4. Phone, preferably more than one.
  5. Registration number and date of registration of the document.
  6. Information about you (position, monthly salary, since when you have been employed at this enterprise). Why the document is being submitted (for submission to the US Embassy).

A certificate from work must contain information that you are going on vacation, and the position is reserved for you. It would be useful, if possible, to indicate exactly when you should start working again.

Please note that at the end of the document, after the text, there should be two signatures: the director and the chief accountant of your company, sealed.

Signatures of the director and chief accountant

Having two signatures is essential. Instead of the chief accountant, another official can sign the document.

Common mistakes US visa applicants make

A certificate of employment is an extremely important document, but honesty is the main thing for obtaining a visa to the United States. Therefore, in no case do not submit fake documents. You are more likely to get a visa to America without a certificate than with a fake document. Because of it, you will be blacklisted, and then getting into the States will be very problematic even with perfectly executed documents and an impeccable biography.

Another mistake is the discrepancy between the data of the certificate from work with the data that you indicated in the questionnaire. For example, the dates of vacation will not coincide with the travel plans indicated in the questionnaire. Be careful and compare the documents so that there are no discrepancies in them.
