It seems that temporary visits are considered to be an immigration issue, so here goes. I'm a citizen of a non-VWP country, but a permanent resident of a EU VWP country. This year I'd like to come to the US for my vacation, but here's the catch: I was already denied once like 4 years ago. No reasons were given, of course, but I suspect this didn't help:

Whoa, thanks, that's a lot of useful information! I should've been clearer there, I was not issued a visa after the interview at the consulate, but at least was smart enough not to try to enter anyway . I'm single, but do have my parents here, as well as a lease, two cars, and some other property to show. I'll try to arrange the invitation, tickets, and all the other stuff as you suggest, and hopefully this would work out better this time. Thanks again for the detailed guide!

Alright, as I just now got the invitation, I have a few more questions before I go for it:

Thanks to your great help, Ashcans, I just loving nailed the interview . Just one final question that I messed up and didn't ask right on the spot: what's the validity period on the B-2 visas, and would I be able to, say, go to Canada and back in within a week? I didn't realize that a) I might want to go to Canada from New England and b) I might not be allowed to do that.

As I needed to start discussing the plans with my hosts ASAP, I emailed a question to an address I dug up on the consulate website. The reply was that it's 60 months and multiple entries, which is as good as I could've wished for, hopefully this is also what's actually going to be in my passport . Thanks again for the information, it's going to be very helpful for confirming what I actually got.

So... hypothetically speaking, how bad would things in Ukraine have to get before a citizen could apply for some kind of asylum?

Hey Ashcans, thanks again for your suggestions earlier I do have a couple of things however:

Hey Ashcans, another question. I applied for a position located in NY within my company. The hiring manager, who's a former teammate, claims he'd be happy to have me, but he'll need to talk to his boss about relocation. Assuming this is true and they really want me, what are the possible scenarios? Anything I can do to make things smoother from the immigration point of view? I worked in our Germany-based company for about 4 years, about 60/40% as contractor and now employee. EU permanent resident and have been preparing stuff to apply for citizenship but haven't done so yet. I also already have a 5-year B2 visa thanks to your help . mobby_6kl fucked around with this message at 11:08 on May 6, 2015 |

Great, thanks guys. Well I mean not so great, but thanks anyway Does the current citizenship of the applicant (ie., me) make any difference to the process, whether L-1 or H1-b?
