Has anyone with Aus PR applied for a US tourist visa? Madali lang ba or strict pa rin?

    Yes, schedule. Mabilis lang talaga. Prepare pa rin ng docs just in case. Approved 10 years friend ko, hindi pa sya PR, 457 visa.

    Literal 5 minutes, dalawa kong friends na nagsabi like sobrang bilis lang. Mas matagal pa yung preparation nila ng documents at paghahanda sa sarili before the interview. Di ko alam kung factored in na ANZ sila nagwowork pero ayun lang tinanong sakanila.

    What's your occupation and why are you going to US?
    **
    To follow up kung nalaman nila agad na 10 years yung binigay sakanila. I will ask them.**

    Based sa experience ko when I applied last 2014, medyo mabilis lang yung interview. Naka working visa pa lang din ako during that time. Binigay ko muna yung documents ko tapos they asked me to wait for the interview. Tinanong lang kung ano yung purpose ko ng pagtravel sa US. Tapos sinabi lang na wait for my passport kasi send nila. Pagreceive ko ng passport, dun ko lang nalaman na 10 years multiple entry (I did not ask nung nasa consulate ako)
