Getting a very short visitor visa for the US as an Indian citizen
I'm an Indian national and I have a friend in USA who got stuck and I wanna go and get her. The thing is I can't show bank balance, as I don't have any, but I have credit cards worth 5000 USD and I have no intention of staying in the US. I just wanna get in, collect my friend and get back on the same day itself.
I know the consulate officer would reject my visa due to insufficient funds, but I'm not planning to stay and it's just one day visit, and it's like life saving emergency. Would I be given a chance to explain to consulate officer? Any idea to get visa.
My friend is having H4 visa and she can't sponsor me. I've tried for sponsorship from my friend, but he says he has already sponsored enough people for his quota.
Is there any chance that I can get a visa, at least 12 hour visa would do fine, but there seems to be no such thing. Can anybody suggest a solution for this situation ?
Best Answer
The situation in question sounds like something to be solved with the local police department rather than in-person, however you could still try applying for a visa. Your options are:
Apply for a single-entry tourist US visa for 3 days, book the hotels and flights. Assuming you can satisfy the normal visa requirements you shouldn't have any troubles.
Book a flight through the US with a 24 hour layover and apply for a transit visa. US airports don't have a sterile transit zone, so once you've passed immigration nothing stops you from visiting your friend. One good country to fly to would be Ecuador, since it doesn't require Indian citizens to apply for a visa.
