tourist visa to us

[mouse999]

hi guys and girls

sorry if this question has been ask before but I have had a quick look thru the site and can't find anything! my thai wife has just been granted a spousal visa to the uk and is living with me(a uk citizen) in the uk now,we want to take a 3 week holiday to the states to vist a friend and have abit of a holiday around the us,i work full time and have enough funds for the trip.what I need to know is how difficult will it be to get a tourist visa for the USA and what is involved in the process.

As your wife is now living with you in the UK on her new visa, and providing she can provide evidence of her ties to the UK there should be no problem in obtaining a visa for you both to visit the US.

As she is not a UK Citizen she cannot enter under the Visa Waiver Scheme and she will need to apply for a Non-Immigrant Visa, that necessitates completing a form and being interviewed, where she will need to provide supporting evidence.
