Good morning Gurus, so I applied for IW in Feb which I was refused but was scheduled for follow up interview My interview comes up in April 26, my initial plan was to go last month for 2 weeks break, My circumstance has changed as I got promoted last month too with increased salary and also time to travel has changed too Can I fill another DS160 to update my status before the date or I’m not allowed to change anything? Thanks |

You are asking to get swindled if you are looking to buy a visa appointment. It is not worth it even if you can afford to buy it. Folks who have bought these appointments have had more problems than solutions. Agents have completed their DS160 forms with completely different information. Do not risk messing up your immigration history for nothing. Pay your MRV fees and select a date. You can always check periodically and you may be lucky to get a closer date. 2tallman2: 1 Like |

Hello House,i have 2 quick questions. 1. When completing ones IVR, there is a part that asked "if you have been denied visa within 12months under the same visa class''. Last year i applied for tourism and i was refused under B1/B2 and now i am applying for conference. Does conference B1 belong to the same visa class? And do i have to click on the box or opt for the none of the above? 2. when you are applying for a B1 visa for a conference. If approved, will you be issued a 5yrs B1/B2 visa? |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by LadyCaplin: 4:47pm On Apr 01 |
Did you spend a long period on your last trip to the States? Or was your visa used for child birth? Just curious to know why you were asked to schedule a follow up appointment. All the best in your interview! iyanuakin: 1 Like |

Yes, You can fill a new DS 160 and be sure to update the NEW DS confirmation number in your application. Alternatively, you can retrieve the information in the old DS 160 you already submitted, that would only requiring you updating or changing only the relevant information. You can do this by going through the retrieval option and then click on create new DS information. I hope that helps! iyanuakin: |

Xplicit007: Hey 🤠 1 B- 1 is a visitor for business , and B- 2 is a visitor for pleasure, but they can issue the combinations of both for you (especially when you are applying on behalf of a company or an organisation) in order for you to be able to juggle the visa types , eg if your employer is sending you on conference or seminar, you will use B-1 and during the holiday if you want to visit , you will use B-2. 2. In your case , mark yes , you have been refused under the same visa type before . Honesty is the best policy , it won't affect your present visa process if you qualify for it . 3. Yes , you will possibly be given B1/B2 5 yrs multiple entry , especially if your employer or an organisation is sending you to represent them. Best Wishes 🙏 |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by arama2022: 3:29pm On Apr 03 |
Thank you so much and apologies for my late response. I am currently enrolled for Fall 2024 in another school to pursue a higher degree. Someone told me that it was difficult to get a date in Canada and advised I applied in Dominican Republic which I did and got an interview date for April 21. My question is, what is the success rate in DR? Do I wait for my current visa to expire on 6 June before renewing? (I have plans to travel out of the country in Summer and December) My current OPT/EAD expires July 13 and I have an admission for a new school, do I renew based on OPT or new i20? What are possible interview questions? Also, can I email you. JohnZak: |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by arama2022: 3:32pm On Apr 03 |
Hi, thank you for responding. I would like to re-enroll and continue my studies and I also don't want to be stuck in the US unable to travel while I am studying. My interview in Dominican Republic is in April, do I wait a bit longer (May/June) to renew since it's closer to resumption date. biikeys: |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by arama2022: 3:35pm On Apr 03 |
Also,Is it better to renew before or after your visa expires and do you think I should renew in Canada/ Mexico and not in Dominican Republic? arama2022: |

Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by megastu(m): 3:37am On Apr 04 |

Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Debbieeeeeee: 6:30am On Apr 04 |
Skorse:It used to be thrice but it is now twice(initial scheduling plus one reschedule) if you need a second reschedule option you’ll need to purchase a new mrv 1 Like 1 Share |

Abdomox: Please anyone with this info? |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Abdomox: 8:46am On Apr 04 |
Also anyone with reliable info on when the rate for visa fee will be adjusted? Paying 185 x 4 at N1800 exchange rate is unfair when dollar is now 1200. |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by MrMagnetic: 11:26am On Apr 04 |
Abdomox: I asked the Teller at GTB today, and she said they have not been instructed to adjust the fee. I paid 333k this morning. It's well. 1 Like |

Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by JohnZak: 6:32pm On Apr 04 |
Hi, It sounds like you are going to DR for your interview since you have an interview date already. Even though renewal interviews are pretty straightforward, never take them for granted. You will be renewing based on the new I20 since your OPT expires in 7/13 and you have a new I20 for the upcoming school year. I can’t speak to the success rate in DR because I never renewed there and do not know of anyone that renewed there. I renewed in Canada and Mexico but I frankly feel that because it is a renewal with a valid I20 and as long as there is nothing adverse in your immigration (e.g. falling out of F1 status or another visa category) or U.S. criminal history, your chances of success are very high. Besides Canada and Jamaica, I have friends that have renewed without issues in Jamaica. There are many reports on this thread of seamless F1 renewals in third countries. You likely won’t even be asked about any of the documents that I will list (except current I20) but I believe that it is better to have them and not need them than to need them and not have them. You must go with your current I20 and I suggest also going with your old 1-20, hire letter from OPT site (if you have one), letter from your current OPT site confirming your current employment, previous transcripts, and paystubs from your current OPT site. If you have anything other than a traffic citation, I suggest that you go with the final court disposition. My friend had an issue once because of this. Though I was never asked about financial documents when I went for visa renewals, I still went with them. If you have a scholarship, fellowship, or financial statement that explains how you will fund your PhD, I suggest going with them just in case you are asked. I renewed my FI visa twice and got a J1 and a J1 renewal, all in third countries (countries other than Nigeria). In all cases, the interviews lasted less than 60 seconds (no exaggeration). I was just asked for my I20 (F1) or DS2019 (J1) for all but one interview. In this one interview, the consular officer asked me about my study area and the rest was just small talk that was unrelated to my visa application. You might be asked to talk about your upcoming program, but I am sure you have that covered. The renewal interviews were a breeze for me, and I sincerely hope that it is a breeze for you. Because you have a valid visa, they will cancel your current visa with a stamp that says “canceled without prejudice”. It is likely that the issue date of the new visa will be backdated to the issue date on the old visa so that you can enter the U.S. immediately. That is what they did for me. Plan to stay close to the embassy, pre-arrange transportation, and get there early. Don’t forget to enjoy DR while you are there during the days between your visa interview and when your visa comes out. Santo Domingo is a beautiful, old city by the coast with great food and beautiful beaches. However, be safe while you are there because it can get wild at night. If you have other questions, you can post on this thread and I will respond. Enjoy and good luck!! arama2022: |

@OyoTunjiUSA I will be attending a conference in October 2025. I want to book an appointment date, and I'm seeing dates from June 2025. My question is this: Should I choose a date that's two or three months before my expected date of travel? Or should I choose one month to the date or even a date in the same month of my travel? |
