Visa to USA for Canadian permanent residents

[harirajmohan]

Hello friends. Need some suggestion.

I lived with my family in USA from Jul-2012 to Sep-2018 thru H1B visa. My daughter was born in USA during that time and she is an USA citizen. After that I had to go back to my home country as H1B visa expired. Then by Apr-2019 I got Canadian PR approved and landed in Canada. I am thinking to go back to USA to visit my friends.

1) Can I apply for USA visitor visa now as its only 7 months after I last exited USA. Will there be any problem because of the short duration in which I am applying for visa to go back to USA.
2) What documents/ties should I show to ensure my return back to Canada
3) Is there any website that lists out the details of visitor visa process and steps to be followed for Canadian PR holders.

Thanks!!

1. It depends on case to case and officer to officer. We moved to canada from US in jan2017 and my wife applied for b2 in Aug2017, No issues even though she was not working. I still work in US, not sure if that makes difference. But i know that for some work permit candidates many faced issues like why candidate is not working and why they need visa and will you come back or settle there etc.....
2. Thats the requirement for B2 as you are supposed to show ties to return back. So employment in Canada would be great asset and the time you stayed in Canada too. But again, it all depends.
3. No difference than any person applying for B2 from some other country. Just need to show ties in the country of residence such as job, family, business/assets etc.

Guess you could Google it. Being a PR does not necessarily increase your chances which may still be influenced by your passport.
