MajidS makes the point that in his wife's case:

 "Her entire case rested 100% on my credentials for job, salary, strong ties to Canada, history in Canada..."
 
Would the visa have been granted to MajidS (or any other husband) if the case was reversed? Just curious (my feeling is "not as easily")!

So it could very well be that gender and the spouses credentials may be the deciding factor.
I do personally know a few other couples in which the wife was the PR and they also got a US visa, no problem.
In fact, for those of you who did get a visa, did you apply for a single entry visa only to get your passport back with a 10 year multiple entry visa stamped in your passport?
This happened to my wife and at least 1 or 2 other "wives" that we know.
 
Best of luck.

i had the same feeling as canvis and yet I am British from UK

and I was only just fying thru US to save money.....
we get this stressful experience because immigration is always introducing new, more stringent barriers...

but the happy ending is that it all worked out for me.
I went thru US and in canada...

but I am not PR yet

Any other experiences?
 
Just curious as I am employed and demonstrated  proof of good salary, strong ties to Canada etc, as did my husband (though he is self-employed so perhaps his proof was not seen as demonstrating strong enough ties), and my husband was refused....would like to hear if any male PR's were sucessful in obtaining a US visitor visa.
 
The visa officer noted that for my husband, proof of business licence, his lease for his office, and other evidence (in addition to a letter from my employer stating my salary) and our apartment lease was not enough - he would need to show better proof of economic stability with taxes.

Hi, 

I was wondering about what documents to take to the US consulate when applying for the Visitor Visa for a vacation. I've been a PR for 10 years and have a job in the government sector. 

Should I take a letter from my employer, tax statement, bank statement.... ? What else would help? 

Thanks!

You must have all supporting documentation to support your ties to Canada, and enough money, and all the paperwork about work, etc and perhaps a itinerary for the flights, etc
