Unclear about visa type: US tourist vs transit
score:3
Accepted answer
In your situation, I would apply for a transit visa.
- You can still go out of the airport on a transit visa
- The primary reason for you being in the US is transit, so it's a more truthful visa application
- I am pretty sure that a transit visa is easier to get (i.e. lower chance of denial) than a toursit visa. A visa denial looks really bad on your record. Better to get the easier visa first, and then get a tourist visa later when you really need it. At that point, you will already have international travel on-record (including a transit via the US) - it would be a stronger tourist visa application at that point.
