And is it must to have heavy bank Balance for Aproval? And if some is not heaving heavy bank balance but have some property in name so does property papers work ?

[@allurecloud]

Travel itinerary and invitation? Not always necessary, especially considering I aced those 10-year US visa applications twice already. Visa officers focus more on your purpose for visiting and your ties to your home country. In my case, proof of income documents weren't even requested. Strong bank statements demonstrating sufficient funds did the trick.

Your videos are really helpful in understanding the procedure which is new to me. Could you please advise me on the following. My son has to visit New York city for an official business and is first time visitor to US, he has a relative (cousin) in US but never met her practically does not know each other and has no intention to meet her or visit. While filling the DS160 is it necessary to mention the details or can he skip. he is applying for B1/B2 visa
