Is there a set amount of money a Trinidad citizen needs to enter US on a tourist visa?

Question

I know to get a tourist visa to enter the US from Trinidad and Tobago you do need a bank statement, and a letter from the person you are visisting. A friend wants to come to visit for two or three weeks in the US and they said the embassy said they need a bank statement showing they have 10,000 TTs or around 1,500 USD to get a visa for the two to three week vacation.

We were going to go half on the plane ticket and other than that, money was never asked for so I'm wondering if this is procedure or not and what other documents/fees are associated with getting a tourist visa into the US.

Also, MY bank statement suffice?

Answer 1

The bank statement of $10,000.00 TT mentioned in your post is correct, however, if you have assets in TT such as a house, car, permanent job, etc, it is possible to get the visa with less than the stated amount in your bank account.

confident to all your questions, aside from diplomatic group the place the situation is extra complicated. on the time of start, the father and mom ought to be undertaking to US jurisdiction, which some diplomats are no longer. undergo in ideas that girls people who're interior the late stages of being pregnant are no longer continually allowed to fly for scientific reasons, and that border officers who have faith people may be getting into the U. S. to have babies can deny people get right of entry to. the guideline is very handy, in that it helps to circumvent circumstances the place people are American in each way, having been born right here and raised right here, yet who're no longer voters. a lasting situation, in spite of if, is that babies born in a foreign country who immigrate to the U. S. won't have citizenship if their father and mom did no longer naturalize.
