I'm 23 years old and got my Bachelor degree last year. I want take a break and visit U.S. and want to stay 3 months or more, but my dad is financing my trip because I don't work. Is there a problem that I want to stay that long and I'm not financing it myself?

    In order to be approved for the visa, you must demonstrate that you have a reason to leave the US at the end of your stay. What reason do you have to leave the US and return to your country? – Michael Hampton Sep 23 '19 at 22:14

    Reason to leave is as important as finances. You have to overcome the presumption of immigrant intent. – Traveller Sep 23 '19 at 23:26

    23, no job, probably no spouse, you're from a country that needs a visa. You look like someone who will overstay and work under the table. I would be surprised if you get a visa. – Loren Pechtel Sep 24 '19 at 04:22
  • Can you clarify your citizenship? – jcaron Sep 24 '19 at 05:52
  • Thank you all for your answers. Yes, I do need a visa because I'm from Kosovo. The thing is I'm not planning to immigrate because if I would, I probably immigrate illegally somehow, but I always wanted to visit U.S. so that's why I want to stay that long. I know that the system works different but I have my family here and I've built all my life here so why would I let everything and stay in U.S. – Agnesa Sep 24 '19 at 15:13

  • They want clarity where the money comes from. A parent funding a 23-year-old is normal, so that is no problem if your father can afford it.
  • They want confidence that you will leave again. That will be difficult for a 23-year-old who can spend several months on vacation -- that is, someone who has no job or studies lined up soon.

  • Thank you for answering. That's why I asked because I know it sounds that I want to overstay there but the thing is I have my family and everything here, so I just want to stay that much to explore as much as I can because always wanted to visit U.S.. – Agnesa Sep 24 '19 at 15:17
