The key to being issued a US visitor visa is putting the visitor visa application together correctly. Here are some tips on putting together the application and what you will need if you plan on applying for an US visitor visa. 
Visa Application
You have the option of filing an online visitor visa application on the US State Department website. If it is easier for you there is also the option of printing off the required visitor visa application forms, filling them out and bringing them to the interview along with the other visa application documents. These forms are
Visa Payment
There is a visa application fee expected at the time of interview. Most consulates require that you pay for the fee at a local bank and bring along a payment receipt from the bank to the interview. You should also bring additional funds for a visa issuance fee in the case that your visitor visa is granted. The US consulate will have more details for you on specific fees for your country and currency on their website.
Identification
You should acquire a copy of your official birth certificate. In some countries this can be troublesome to acquire. Begin the process early. In addition you will need a valid passport that will be valid up until 6 months after your time in the United States is over.
Police Certificates
The US requires police certificates from many countries. This is a letter from the police department in every area you have lived stating whether or not you have had any criminal convictions. If you have, you are not allowed to enter the United States.
Medical Examination
The US also requires that foreigners receive a medical examination from an approved clinic or doctor before being allowed to enter the US. Most often you will also be required to receive certain vaccinations before being allowed to cross US borders. Your specific US embassy or consulate website can give you more information on specific requirements for your country. You will need a letter from the doctor who examined you stating that you meet the travel requirements set by the US State Department.
Proof of nonimmigrant intentions
At the time of your interview you need to be able to provide proof that you have no intention of staying in the US as an illegal immigrant. You need to provide evidence of enough funds to pay for the extension of your time in the US, along with enough funds for a return trip home. You should include ownership papers of property, homes, and vehicles, loan statements and anything else that proves you have reason to return to your home country. If you are a student prove that you are enrolled and have paid for your next semester at school. You should include a trip itinerary with reservation slips for hotels or hostels, which can easily be cancelled if your visa is not granted. Hold off on buying plane tickets until your visa is issued since they are harder to refund. In many cases you are also required to provide a letter of invitation from a US citizen, organization or business inviting you to stay with them. If you cannot pay for your trip, the US entity needs to fill out a financial support form stating they will pay for your trip.
Translate all documents to English
Make sure all the documents you bring are translated into English by an official translator. You need to bring documents in their native language with an English translation attached.
Make copies of all documents
Copies of documents in both their native and English languages are important so that you can leave them with the consulate and keep the originals. Never leave original documents with anyone else so that you can use them again in the future.
Put all documents in an organized folder
Being organized with your visitor visa application package is important. It shows the visa interviewer your competence and professionalism. Your papers will remain unwrinkled and neat. It will be easier to pull out documents as you are asked for them rather than having to shuffle through unruly piles of paper during the interview. Making the experience as professional as possible will greatly enhance the chances of being issued a visa.
