Hey everyone,

I applied for a visit visa and submitted my application online on November 1st.
I have been to the US 7 times during the last 5 years (which obviously should be enough to tell that I don't intend to stay anywhere illegally).

I just had a couple questions..

1. I have two jobs but get paid in cash for both, therefore there are no salary transfers in my bank account. I clarified that in the application. I attached my bank statement as well as the bank statememt of my father and a letter and ID from him stating that he will is taking care of me financially during my trip, also stating that I work for his company (also provided commercial permits and an employment letter proving I work for/with my father). Would any of that be an issue?

2. Travel plans: I stated that I am waiting for my US visa to be renewed, and that's why I dont have a ticket/plans. I visit the US every year, and it just would be great to be great to see the other side of the border when I'm on vacation.

3. The family information form couldnt detect my native language, and I tried 3 or 4 different devices. so i mentioned that on the explanation letter. Any issues?

Thanks in advance, any feedback is appreciated.

Except for the part about the family information form is the issue here.

When I applied for my TRV I only submitted bank letter from the past three months without any order of deposited. So that should not be a problem, the same if you provide with a letter of employment from your dad and proof that you really work there.

Thank you good sir for responding!

I really hope that not writing my name in my native language in the family form wouldn't be a big deal. Worst case scenario they can request I re-send it.

Yesterday I got an email saying there is an status update on my application. When I checked, my application status was still the same, "open". Any idea what that could be?

Hi Fari22,

No I did not receive any update on my application after 4th November. I just received message only once. I am also waiting for my result.

From where you have applied for TRV?

Rohit

Hi Rohit,

I applied online from London office. I sent a message about the application to London office on 17/11 and got reply today, given bbelow:

I think the message you have received in standard format when your application is under process. I saw this same message in various other posts.

Wish you a luck!!

Keep updating about your application :)
