Dear VO,
My wife and daughter have submitted their application and have also scheduled for an appointment. I intend to travel with them and so I have asked my wife to cancel the appointment till when I finish my application and that she has done.
However, there are some little problems,
1) Our accommodation will now change as I intend to join them,
2) Sponsorship has also change
3) Earnings for her have also changed.
My questions now are
1) Hope she won’t have to pay another visa fee as she has canceled the appointment although she is yet to reschedule.
2) Is it possible to retrieve the already submitted application to make these changes?
3) if no 2 is not possible, how else can those changes be made to avoid complications
4) Can she fill another application form and use the D-160 confirmation no to book for interview/appointment.
Thank you

To God be the glory. I sent a note but no assistance came . My God did it to him be the glory .my visa has been renewed. Thank God.

Good day VO.
My question relates to the procedure of finger printing during the visa interview. I have battled with dry hands for years which is made worse with chemicals in soaps and deterrgen when I wash. I suspect this is the reason why my fimgers cannot be captured electronically, I discovered this recentlyu when I went for my passport and renewal of drivers license. Even though I was issued both irrespecrtiv, am worried it will affect me getting a US visa.
I want to apply for visa in a few weeks and i will appreciate your response before I do. Thank you

Dear VO, still waiting for your response please.

Hi House,

Please can someone help with the procedure for doing drop box to renew US visa.
am i going to fill any other form apart from the DS-160?
do i need to snap the US passport size photo?

awaiting your prompt response

Dear VO
Please what sort of visa do I need to go to the US to write an exam and how long before the scheduled Date for the exam do you advise I apply for the visa?
Thanks for your your prompt response.

Hello Dear VO,

Good Day. Please I intend to sponsor a relative for education in the united states and therefore I need to show the US embassy a statement of account. He has a been offered admission from a US school for a graduate program.

Is there any way of doing this while keeping the details of the account with a good record and enough money to show that I will sponsor him away from him (private and secret)? e.g. sending it to the embassy / consular officer directly

As much as I want to sponsor him, I also want to keep the details of my earnings, spending's and financial information as private as I can...

Hoping for a response soon... Thanks...

Hello VO,

I must commend you all for your responses and time taken to answer all our questions.

The drop box time line states 7-10 working days! Is there a reason that time line is being exceeded of late??

Can you enter the US on a tourist visa and get married? I got married during my second trip and returned to my home country.

My spouse holds a H1 and we are thinking of applying for H4 soon. What I am really worried about is because I entered the country on a visitor visa and got married, would it make the whole process of applying for H4 make difficult?

What would happen to my B1/B2? Will be revoked upon applying for the new visa? What would happen if my the H4 gets rejected?

Help,please..

Dear adeshtech,

Thank you for your question. You do not need to provide any other forms. You simply need to select dropbox when you complete your application, Then, you will submit your passport, DS-160, and passport photos at your designated DHL location. Make sure your passport photos are from within the last six months. We look forward to seeing you soon.

Thanks for your your prompt response.

Dear nwannenna,

You can use B1/B2 visas to complete written exams in the US. If you are doing training for the exam, however, then you might need a different visa class, like an F1.

We advise applicants to apply for a visa as soon as they know they will be taking an exam in the US. The next available visa interview date might be several weeks out, and we wouldn't want you to miss your flight.

We look forward to seeing you soon.

Dear VO.

I want to travel to the US to deliver my baby in August and also for tourism.

Which option of visa type should I select on the DS160 form.

Is it B1/B2 (which is for business and tourism) or is it B2( which is for tourism and medical)?

please you candid advise is needed as I want to apply immediately
Thanks

Dear teeboy95,

The appropriate visa class for adults seeking medical services is B1/B2. This is also the appropriate class for tourism. We look forward to seeing you soon.

Dear NaijaHulk,

Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, if you wish the Embassy to see your statement of account, you will need to give it to your relative to bring with him to his interview.

Dear ethicalUser,

Thank you for your question. We do not respond to individual cases, but the US Embassy does not discriminate against applicants based on age. You are welcome to apply for an F1 visa.

Hello VO @Abuja NIV....

Greetings, and thanks for the good work you are doing here. I personally do appreciate this! Gone through the thread and quite impressed/enriched/enlightened.

A quick one here please...

Help,please..

Dear ying2000,

Thank you for your question. It is perfectly legal for you to have married an H1 visa holder while you were on a B1/B2 visa so long as you did not overstay given your visa class. Now that you have returned home, you can apply for an H4 visa. If you are found eligible for an H4 visa, you will have two visas concurrently as they are for two visa classes.
