So I’ve put in for the 60 day T visa with a return date several days past the 60 day mark, just like I have done in the past, and this time they are asking for proof of outbound flight within the 60 days.
I’ve got all of the previous 30 day extensions documents but for some reason I feel like I should just pick up an onward ticket for the $15 and submit that instead.
Anyone try and succeed in receiving the 60 day visa by showing the original flights and proof of previous extensions after getting the letter requesting the additional flight info?
I applied with the NYC office.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user applied for a 60-day T visa but was asked for proof of an outbound flight within the 60 days, contrary to previous applications. Comments suggest obtaining a cheap onward ticket as many embassies, including the NYC office, now require this proof. Others share their experiences, including successfully securing visas with a signed declaration for future extensions or using a refundable ticket. Some provide examples of services for acquiring 'fake' onward tickets for visa applications.
