## Frequently asked questions

Which USA visa is easiest to get?

It depends on your situation, but sponsor- or admission-based categories (work and student) often start from a higher base once the sponsor or offer is in place. Visitor visas hinge most on ties to home and finances. Use the estimator for your specific route.

How accurate are these USA odds?

They are approximate educational figures drawn from public statistics, then adjusted by your profile. They are a planning aid, not official odds or a guarantee — only an officer decides your application.

Is the estimator free and private?

Yes. It is free, needs no sign-up, and runs entirely in your browser — your answers are never sent anywhere.
