Good evening
I have been searching online considering the procedures of applying for an American (US) Tourist Visa.
Is it really that difficult to obtain one?

No getting a US Visa is not difficult. Over 95% of applicants recieve one. If you have a job and ties in Malaysia, you will have no problem.

Being a freelancer? That might be tough.

applying tourist visa is easy- whereby you would be given 3 months visa upon arrival.

working visa or work permit is quite tough... a person must have an offered from a company (based in Malaysia) to have a work permit/ working visa.. unless.. contact me at hutzenterprise@gmail.com  or visit : hutzenterprise.webstarts.com to have a view on working visa, company incorporation in Malaysia, etc..

Thanks

You just ask Us embassy then they will let you know.
Case by case they do it.

I'm from Philippines and currently working here in Kuala Lumpur with professional working visa, I have been working here for about 3 years and current visa expires on July 2014.

My auntie in the US is inviting me to visit her and her family to celebrate their wedding anniversary.

Can I apply for a tourist visa here in KL or I need to go back to Philippines and be interviewed there? and do you think my employment is strong enough as evidence that I will not immigrate there? I am single but I have some personal ties in Philippines (e.g car and bank accounts)

Will be grateful with your replies.
