Backpacking with visa B2 in USA
I have quit my job recently to travel the world in a few months. I am planning to visit the USA as my first step and would like to stay there for at least 4 months. So I have applied for a tourist visa (B2).
From what I can read on different websites, I see many people getting their visa refused because they cannot show enough ties with their home countries (married, children, property, promise of employment).
I don't have any of these and getting worried as I cannot see anyone with similar experience. I am young, wishing to travel the world. And it is precisely because I don't have those ties that I can do it. I have prepared a sheet with details of my itinerary, budget and contact details of every hostels I'll stay in. Also bank statements showing sufficient funds. But that's all I have basically.
I have my appointment with the embassy in a few days. If anyone has some advices - which would help me support my application to the consular officer - it would be much appreciated!
