Are there any special requirements for a child to be granted a visa?

Yes, there are special requirements for children to be granted a visa in California. Generally, the requirements are based on the purpose of the trip, the applicant’s age and the type of visa requested. A minor under the age of 16 must obtain a nonimmigrant visa to enter the United States. The parent or legal guardian must accompany the child to the visa interview and sign a consent form on the child’s behalf. Parental information, such as birth certificates and marriage certificates, may be needed as part of the application process. For those under 14, at least one parent or legal guardian must accompany the child to the visa interview. Furthermore, the child may need to submit additional documents, such as a medical exam or proof of financial support, in order to obtain a visa. For those under the age of 18, if the parent or parents are not able to accompany the child to the visa interview, a Form I-134, Affidavit of Support must be completed. This form is used to demonstrate that the child has adequate financial support and is not likely to overstay or become a public charge to the United States. Finally, applicants may need to provide proof that they plan to depart the United States within a reasonable amount of time. Evidence such as the child’s school records, address and contact information may be used to demonstrate the individual’s intent to leave the US. Overall, California has specific requirements for children to apply for a visa. It’s important to familiarize yourself with these requirements in order to ensure that you are well-prepared for the application process.
