hello everybody,
I am a currently on a student visa in Canada since many years and had USA visitor visa before 2 years from Ottawa- that was to attend an interview at canadian embassy, usa for TRV.
Now I've a USA visitor visa interview at Toronto location in month of May once again. This time I am visiting usa during our long weekend to meet my friend there and would like to ask that in the form they ask the reason to visit usa, I'll mention to meet my friend.
Now my Q's are:
1) Do I have to have an invitation letter from my friend who is in USA or should I just go for an interview with my own documents.
2) How much bank-balance do I've to show? I am not working, just studying.
3) And do the usa consulate in Toronto have a passport pick-up option, if I get the visa, coz i don't want my passport to be in mail.
Please suggest, thanx

Your funds should be enough to cover travel and living expenses during your trip.
Quote:From what I recall, you have to pick up the passports in person the same or next afternoon.

Unless they have changed something in the last year or so, they don't mail your passports.
Good luck.

As far as my knowledge goes they only mail the passport , I got mine last year through courier. They generally dont allow self pick up unless it is an emergency.

Must have been a change during the last year or so.
I got my visa in 2004 and it was a pick-up only.
My family got their visas in 2005 and it was pick up only.
Sorry for the out-dated information.
