I want to make this topic live again!My wife and I have recently become PR in Canada. We haven't received our PR cards yet. I've been living (studying+working) in Canada for last 7 years and possess 5-year long US Visitor Visa (B2) which will expire in 2013. Now, I want my wife to apply for it as well.
Apply for, Renew, or Replace a Green Card. A Green Card (Permanent Resident Card): Gives you official immigration status in the United States; Entitles you to certain rights and responsibilities; Is required if you wish to naturalize as a U.S. You can ask for a US visitor visa (B-1, B-2) whether you are a Canadian Permanent Resident or not. Most US aliens (not only Canadian PRs) can apply for a visitor visa, but that does not mean they will grant it.
She landed in Canada few weeks back and not working or studying at this moment. I know that she should stay in Canada for a considerable time before applying for US Visa.I was long planning to fly to Texas to meet my old school friends who are either working or in post-grad level. And I have like 10 days off from work during this coming X-Mas. Moreover, I live only 2 blocks away from US Consulate-Toronto.So, what's your thought on this? Should she wait much longer before applying for a US Visitor Visa?
Or, we can give a shot. You need to prove to the US consular officer that you will leave the US after your visit.he/she will look at your ties to Canada or any other country. Unless you've established some solid ties in your very short time in Canada you risk a refusal.ties effectively means a solid job that you will come back to.others include family, education, bank balance etc but they carry less weight on review.

If granted visa then duration may be from 3 - 120 months depends on your citizenship and if consulate decides you are low risk. Msafiri is right.Basically any US visa applicant seeking to get a non-immigrant visa to the US has to prove to the consular officer that he/she is not an intending immigrant to the US. The burden of proof is on the applicant. The biggest factors are having a job and family ties.My friend applied right after he landed as PR and he was rejected. The consular officer said he didn't have enough ties in Canada to come back to.The same goes for Canadian citizens and visa-waiver countries citizens seeking admission at the port of entry in to the US.
Although they do not need visas, they have to prove to US Customs and Border Protection officers that they are not intending immigrants and they are in the US for temporary visit and that they have strong ties to the countries they reside permanently.I know quite a few stories of even Canadian citizens denied entry to the US as they couldn't convince a CBP officer they were not intending immigrants to the US.
