		<description><![CDATA[There are many reasons a person may seek to obtain a B1/B2 visa and the evidence used to prove the purpose of your trip will vary accordingly.  Such evidence can include invitations (wedding, graduation, etc.), tickets to events, programs, itineraries, letters from friends and family, medical records, and letters from your employer.  You can demonstrate your intent to leave the US by proving permanent residence, employment, or family/business ties in your home country.  Bank statements, credit cards, traveler’s checks, cash, and pre-paid travel arrangements and hotel accommodations can be used to show your ability to pay for your trip.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When an immigrant visa becomes available to an undocumented person (through a family relationship, an employer, etc.) the immigrant will need to identify the appropriate process to pursue in order to apply for the immigrant visa.  The visa can be obtained either outside or inside the United States.  There are two ways for an undocumented immigrant to apply for permanent residency in the United States and avoid having to return to their country of birth/citizenship.

We must submit tax returns to support various types of applications, including family or business sponsorship and to survive deportation from the US.
