Dear Everyone,
I urgently seek your response regarding my mother's USA visa, which expired on June 12, 2020. I would like to ascertain if she still qualifies for an interview waiver, considering she has not yet paid the new visa fee. If she is eligible, is it possible for her to secure an appointment date before the interview waiver window expires? Your prompt and kind response would be greatly appreciated. |

Ferdinard266: Good evening everyone, My best friend who is in the US is getting married and he wants me to be his bestman. He wants to send an invitation but doesn’t know the documents required to send an invitation. Please what documents do I need too for this to happen? "bestman" come on, man. Find a better reason to travel to the US. If you were a VO, would you approve your own visa? 5 Likes 1 Share |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by TeeD(m): 8:17pm On Jan 14 |
nnewsnjobs: Good morning all, please I need your advice on the way to go about my visa application because I don't want the VO to see my application as being inconsistent or as if am not being straight forward.
My plan was to go for a seminar in my Field of study and experience. I filled DS160 for B1/B2 and applied for visa appointment date in 2022, I got date in August 2024, after trying many times to reschedule, I finally got May 2024 and I have no other option to reschedule so I have to stick with this date for my visa interview.
Now my challenge is that the seminar comes up ones in a year and this year own is coming up in March before my interview date which is in May 2024. So I will be going for my visa interview in May after the seminar for this year has been done with.
So my question is, when filling my new DS160 form and during the interview, what will my travel plans/purpose to the US now be?
1. Should I maintenance that I will be going for a particular seminar (this my intended seminar) next year 2025, since this was my initial plan and is still my plan. But my concern here is that I can't pay for the seminar now and will not have invitation letter or any contact in the US nor have any correspondence from them since 2025 schedule is not out yet.
OR
2. Should I change my plan to vacation (tourist visa) and during the interview I tell the VO am going for holiday/tourist in the US this year and I also want to attend so so seminar next year if my visa is granted because that was my initial plan for this visa but I can't go for the seminar this year because the seminar date for this year is done already.
Please kindly help me out here, what is the best way to go on this my situation in order not to look suspicious or inconsistent on my travel plan. Option 2. Call and ask for emergency appointment for the 2024 conference. Otherwise, ask to reschedule to late 2024 so it's closer to the conference time. The "tourism now and conference later" reason looks sus when you hear it. Always stick to one purpose. Use conference (stronger term than seminar/workshop.) Telling mediocre stories as reason for travel will always weaken your application. Go big or go home. |

Congrats. Guys, let's provide more critical information as that's the purpose for posting here. Stuff like, what you do for work, what took you to those countries (eg school,) how old are those other visas, etc are what helped your application significantly, and not disclosing them is not that helpful for those here. Try to be as descriptive as possible without doxxing yourself. "Me and friend are planning to visit Niagara Falls... my friend's house in New York" will weaken the average person's visa application, but not for a profile like yours, hence the importance of those. Note how the VO went further to ask for your old passport and verify your travel history, it meant they were still undecided until they saw the history, age, and status of those visas, and could as well have denied your visa application if you didn't have your old passport with you. Therefore, your interview wasn't that great, your travel history 'saved' you. Average folks with no travel history should not "visit a friend and 9/11 memorial" not gonna work, just saying. PS: A friend's visa success didn't make sense to me until I found out they were born in the UK (shown on passport) and it obviously played a huge part. 5 Likes |

Are people supposed to come here to ready posts and decide on the purpose of their trips? No one owes you a feedback on their interview.

The feedbacks you get from interviews are just an expo for your preparation. Whether detailed or not, you should pay attention to the area which they always hinge on for these exercises. 1. Composure 2. Communication level 3. Travel history 4. Coherence in data and precise purpose for visit.
Anyone can add to it.
If you successfully prepare for these critical areas, you will scale through. Has anyone found a B1/B2 applicant get a visa with no travel history? Not many I think, unless for the "lucky ones"
