I think a lot of people try to give them what they want but instead end up shooting themselves in the foot.Personally,what they want to see is that you have strong ties to Trinidad and you not going to the people place to hide or live.
Things like a decent amount of money in a local account,employed by a reputable employer,a spouse/fiance,a house,cars....basically anything you own of value that you have to come back for.Of course not looking like a Muslim/terrorist/crackhead/gangmember/lady gaga would also help as well.
Whatever you do, if you have the choice do buy yourself a return ticket and not one way.

They should raise it to $5000tt , dumb trinis will still pay

Do you make it your mission to look like a complete ass in every thread or does it just accidentally happen when you post? Just wondering.

Dude or dudet do you know that there are other Nations that dont PAY for a USA visa? Trinis dont need a visa for UK.

Ever wonder why only non white Nations need a visa?

Why should trinis have to pay when we are 1.3 million?

What does the USA do for us?

Who supplies the US with the most LNG?

And trust me on this one I know of people that are non-afro/indo that dont even have to visit marly street to get a visa.

Maybe its you that is the complete jackass by not understanding these facts.

[hustla_ambition101]

People still using the old passport

I got through with 10 Years as well last month.

Same age bracket as ABA.

The Consular asked for my bank statements and job letter, then he said I'm granting you the Visa but don't go for 6 months and come back and tell us that you was on vacation... *not sure if he was making a joke*

My interview lasted about three minutes.
Got back my passport from the TTPOST couriers 3 days later.

Saw a good few young professionals get denied as well as an old couple.

A family of 4 (2 primary school kids) was also denied, that's $4000.00 and change spent for a "I'm sorry"

that hard
why is it not compulsory for them to refund your money if you dont get through or at least a fraction of it?
i always got tru but found that to be crap.

[Chimera]

got my passport today

10 years:D

[Stephon.]

@S_2NR it's not uncommon though. Reminds me of my friend. His parents, his sister and brother went, they gave everyone visas except him. My guess is that they wanted to keep him here as insurance.

i got my appointment for this Thursday @8:30am, last time i was issued a visa was in 2008 and i was 18 and wasn't working, the guy told me because of my age he think i'll go to stay but he'll still approve it, when it came in the mail i got 6months and i traveled to the us once for 4 days, now am 22, own 2 cars (have the both certified copies showing my name) i own my own business (i have the business registration to carry also), i have just around 100k or so in my bank account and i work for the government for 6 years now and still counting, the reason i wanted to renew my visa is to go for stock for my business personally and probably vacation one time, on the application where they asked reason for travel i stated business/vacation, since most of u all know the running's there do u think i stand a good chance now? (i dont wanna stay in the ppl place, jus business in & out in about 3 days for the max)

[Gem_in_i]
