We at Murthy Immigration Services are often raised with this question. How can your firm help us? In this article, weare providing information specific to Business Visa applications.

Understand the Purpose of Travel:

The first step in a business visa is to identify the purpose of travel and make sure that the proposed activities is within the purview of law. We find that many organizations just mention the purpose as “Business Trip” or “Attend Meeting”. The purpose should be clearly explained. The requirement could be for a senior personnel to attend abusiness meeting to seal a contract or for someone to inspect some machinery prior to purchasing, a technical person may have to inspect the equipment in such instances; it could be for a training program, the purpose could be within a very wide spectrum but needs to be identified clearly and mention the same on the forms and cover letters.

Educate the Applicant:

There have been many instances where the applicant(s) state that they have an urgent business need. But when asked to explain the urgency and the need, they are unable to do so! In many instances, the applicant may not know which part of the U.S. s/he is planning to visit, the address in which s/he will stay and the names of the person s/he is scheduled to visit. We make sure the applicant(s) understand the importance having a clear and unambiguous knowledge over all of the above.

Assist with Documentation of Purpose and Ties:

In several instances, the adjudication officers rely on the information provided by the applicant at the interview to decide on the application for visa. However, one needs to carry documents to evidence the purpose of travel and the applicant(s) ties to the home country. We assist in documenting this information.

Review the Visa Application Form:

We review each entry on the application form and make sure that the applicant is honest and provide accurate information. Providing wrong information or not providing relevant information could result in a denial and if crucial information is withheld or misrepresented, the denial could be permanent. We make sure that the applicant is aware of the consequences of submitting the data and make the applicant realize that he is not just submitting some data to get visa.

Prepare the Applicant for Interview:

Many applicants tend to become timid and tensed when they think about the interview. We help applicantsunderstand the process, to be themselves at the interview and to be very honest and upfront with their responses. This helps in communicating well which is critical for the interview which may last less than 2 minutes in most instances.
