Just thought to share my experience since I have learnt a lot from this forum myself. I had my interview earlier today although the outcome of my interview wasn't so pleasant, regardless I'd share to educate all intending applicants. I was very relaxed, truthful and tried to be very precise. A few people were issued Visa in my presence and a bunch of liars were denied as well. My advise to all intending applicants is to evaluate yourself and try to be as truthful as possible. If you lie you will most likely contradict yourself and jeopardize your chances. The guy before me claimed 3 different ages/DOB to the extent the VO had to ask if any part of the application was real. In all fairness to the VO's everyone they denied deserved it and everyone they issued visa deserved it, no exception to me. By the way it was my first Visa application ever. The interview was somewhat brief. Below is the transcript, VO : What do you do do ? Ans : I'm a fashion designer/Tailor VO : How long have you been doing this ? Ans: Since 2009 VO : Do you do this full time Ans: Yes VO : Have you traveled out of the country before? Ans: Yes to Benin Republic & Togo other than that I haven't had any genuine reason to be out of the country. VO : What are you going to do in Texas. Ans:I'm going for my cousins wedding scheduled to hold 25th of this Month. Will be there for 5 days. VO : Unfortunately you don't qualify for a Visa 2 Likes |

@abujaniv Hello , For sometime now I have been an avid reader of this particular forum and based on the knowledge I have gathered from this forum I filled my form DS120 myself and correctly to the best of my knowledge. I had my interview this morning unfortunately my application wasn't successful despite been 100% sincere with my application , intent and answers to question asked during the interview. Nevertheless the whole time spent at the consul was insightful and totally worth it. The interview was somewhat brief. Below is the transcript, VO : What do you do do ? Ans : I'm a fashion designer/Tailor VO : How long have you been doing this ? Ans: Since 2009 VO : Do you do this full time Ans: Yes VO : Have you traveled out of the country before? Ans: Yes to Benin Republic & Togo other than that I haven't had any genuine reason to be out of the country. VO : What are you going to do in Texas. Ans:I'm going for my cousins wedding scheduled to hold 25th of this Month. Will be there for 5 days. VO : Unfortunately you don't qualify for a Visa The reality is that I'm 30, Educated, Single with a viable business and a 67 year old Mother back home. There's no way I would abandon this for the US. At least from what I understand the VO has reasons to believe I wasn't sincere about my intention to travel for the wedding and return as stipulated on my application. My question to you goes thus. Considering I'm not planning to get married anytime soon. Suppose a year or two from now the need arises for me to reapply for a different reason entirely. Should I just refrain from applying for a US Non-Immigrant visa until my status changes. Thanking you for your kind response. |

Dear VO, I want to find out if I can still make any modification to my already submitted application . It just occurred to me that I wasn't asked to state my previous travel history. I'm afraid I may have clicked a wrong option when asked if I had traveled out of the country before . Or perhaps there was no part where I had to state my previous travel history. Unfortunately I had gone ahead to schedule my interview so I can't start all over again. I don't want it too seem like I deliberately picked the wrong option to mislead the VO. Thanks for your anticipated response |
