Please share if you/family members have recent experience in applying tourist visa. According to the US Embassy website, the only required documents are passports (any prior), DS-160 confirmation page, application fee receipt and photos. I even contacted the embassy and got this reply "Please be advised that applicants for business/tourist (B class) visas and student (F class) visas will not be allowed to bring into the Embassy any documents other than those that are strictly required. Documents which are not permitted inside the Embassy include letters of invitation, land titles, property valuations, audits, and documents from financial institutions."
We are planning to apply for tourist visa for my parents. They have been to US twice before. Looks like things have changed now. At this point, we are in the dilemma about what financial documents we need to submit. Most of us Nepalese used to submit letter of invitation, bank statements, audit reports,property evaluations and bunch of other financial statements. So, this new requirement just sounds not too convincing for folks like me (who went thru all the hassle of making so many financial docs). We want to make sure we include all the required documents but also do not want to overwhelm the application with unnecessary documents.
