Protected person Family Applying for B1/B2 USA visa on their Refugee Travel Documents

[Jaffery007]

Hi,
We are family of 5 and protected person. We do had USA visitor visa earlier and it’s expired now.

4 has Refugee travel documents for travelling purpose and 1 new born baby has Canadian Passport.


Questions:
1- On Refugee travel documents how much log duration visa is granting by USA embassy ? Is it multiple entries for 5years or 10 years ??

2- We have to fill DS-160 for 4 family members separately right?
As 5th member has Canadian passport he doesn’t need USA visa to travel , he will get on arrival visa stamp ?

It depends on your country of origin. If they give you 10 years it will be 10. But for some countries they issue 5 years. Also if you have your pr card they issue 10 years I heard.

What about visa application do we have to fill only 4 Ds 160 forms ? As 5 person in our family has Canadian passport ?

Did you use your USA visa to go to the USA then come to Canada to claim asylum ?

Very hard to compare to pre-Trump era. US is becoming much stricter about who they award visas especially if you entered Canada via the US. Whether you are PRs will also likely be a factor. All you can do is apply and see what happens.
