Three basic rules for Non immigrant Visas:
Disclose everything honestly on the forms. Discrepancy on the visa form data and fake documentation 'flags' you for sure.
- Non immigrant Intention or temporary stay - You can document this through presenting job evidences in Nepal. Include pay stubs, appointment letters and most importantly leave approval letter for the period you have mentioned on the form DS-156/157. In addition, present evidences that your stay will be temporary "outside" Nepal viz You are definite to come back. Evidences of such may be but not limited to visa stamps of other countries in the past, "genuine" reason of temporary stay such as last few months of spouse's education in the US, graduation ceremony, summer break tour, winter break vacation etc. Requesting visa for short period such as a month to 3 months may be beneficial to demonstrate your intention.
- Strong Social and economic Ties with Home country - Evidences may include property ownership documents such as land ownership certificate, house-land tax documents, income tax document, company ownership/shareholding documents etc. A spouse or child who remains back in Nepal while you will be away for a short period in the US is a primary factor too. Documents evidencing your social strata and involvement such as certificates, awards, membership of leading organizations etc may look bleak but are very strong in terms of proving your stance. If you own a company or your family has a traditional business, include business registration, tax registration and share holding pattern. Yes, even though you have your own company, you have to include a Board Resolution approving your leave of absence and if any financial assistance is being offered. If you have strong recommendation letters from nationally known figures who mention that they know your personally and that they firmly believe that you shall return back, proves to be more supportive.
- Financial Ability: Documents such as pay stubs of you and/or your spouse, Affidavit of financial support (Form I-134) from the spouse in the US, evaluation of land-building, bank statement along with last 3 to 6 months of regular transaction in your name or any of your family members (supported by a notarized affidavit of support for sponsorship - see figure), etc. The more the better.
