Answer 1

Non-Immigrant Visas
General Information
The Nonimmigrant Visa Unit of the U.S. Embassy's Consular Section processes applications for nonimmigrant visas by appointment only. During busy seasons, such as the Summer months and the holiday season, applicants will experience a delay between the time they pay the visa fee, and the date of their appointment. Telephone inquiries are accepted between 1:00p.m. and 3:00p.m. at 223-7011. We are closed for all U.S. and Haitian holidays.

A valid visa is required for most aliens who wish to apply for entry into the United States. Under U.S. law, all aliens seeking temporary admission into the United States are presumed to be immigrants until they establish that they are entitled to receive a visa in one of the nonimmigrant visa categories. For security purposes, all applicants must be cleared through the name check system before a visa can be issued. If the applicant's name and date of birth closely matches an entry in the name check system, the applicant will be asked to provide fingerprints. This could delay processing of the visa request by several weeks.


Appropriate Use of a Nonimmigrant Visa to Enter the United States
A visa is not a guarantee of entry into the United States. Under American law, a visa is simply permission to apply for entry into the United States. The person (or persons) to whom a visa has been issued is subject to inspection at the port of entry by officials of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). DHS determines the length of stay authorized to the alien upon entry. Additionally, the validity of a visa is not related to the length or number of extensions of stay, which may be granted subsequently by DHS. A nonimmigrant visa for a particular category is valid for entry only for the purpose for which it was originally issued. For example, a student visa cannot be used for entry as a visitor, nor can the holder of a visitor visa enter to study.

Passback Service
When applications are approved by the Consular Officer, applicants have the option of receiving their passport and visa within 24 hours. To do so, applicants must pay a fee of $5.00 (or the equivalent in Haitian currency) to a representative of RBC services. This representative has a booth adjacent to the interview windows and will provide full information about the service, including where to retrieve the passport and visa.

If applicants do not wish to pay the fee for the passback service, they must so advise the consular officer at the time of interview. They may then return to the Consular Section after 10 business days and retrieve their passport and visa without charge.

Section 214(b) Refusals
Section 214(b) is part of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). It states:

"Every alien shall be presumed to be an immigrant until he [or she] establishes to the satisfaction of the Consular Officer, at the time of application for a visa, and the immigration officers, at the time of application for admission, that he [or she] is entitled to nonimmigrant status."

To qualify for a nonimmigrant visa under Section 214(b), applicants must show that they have a permanent residence and other ties abroad that would compel them to leave the United States at the end of a temporary stay. The law places this burden of proof on the applicant.

You friend needs to prove that he will return to Haiti.
Thats means proof of a job, money in his bank account and ownership of a house that helps

Answer 2

He goes to the US Embassy, fills out his paper work, pays his money and waits, along with the thousands of others!

Of course his reason has a lot to do with whether he gets one, which includes business and family ties.

As the DR is on the same Island it should not have been hard to get a Visa. Except for the weather, large Hotel complexes and beaches which are guarded, DR is very poor and the main reason people, especially German's, go there is that it is cheap!

Answer 3

You just have to contact the US embassy and they will detail out the procedures to you

Answer 4

All you do is phon..... oops,I was thinking of a Dominos` Pisa.
