Dear VO. Please i need your candid opinion on a particular issue , I was to apply for a us tourist visa for my myself and my ex-wife and 2 kids in year 2012, I filled the ds 160 form for each of us then and an application code was generated , we didn't schedule an appointment nor did we appear for interview because myself and my wife had martial iasues that eventually lead to dissolution of the marriage, I have remarried now with a daughter . now I had intention of applying for us tourist visa for my wife and 3 kids , I know I need to fill another ds 160 form for each of us, but their is no place in the ds 160 form to state I was divorced and now re-marry or I should just state that am married by stating the name of my new spouse on the new ds 160 form, please advice me further cos I don't want it to be misrepresentation of information , I have copy of the divorce certificate and marriage certificate of my new spouse . |

Hello Elandhas. You can list yourself as married and just explain the divorce situation during your interview. Keep in mind that both parents must consent for children to travel to the US, so that will be needed for the two children from the previous relationship. Elandhas: |

abujaniv:. @ VO, thanks for your response. My relative that I was planning to visit did not make proper arrangement to receive me at the poe. However he has suggested he want to write a letter to homeland and the USA embassy in Nigeria explaining the situation and he wants to re-invite me in Dec. Is this the right thing to do, if not what is the best way for him to go about this. |
Re: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening by abujaniv: 10:53pm On Mar 29, 2017 |
Good evening democrat4. Don't shift the blame--the applicant/traveler is ultimately responsible for their arrangements. It would behoove you to read more than a few pages of this thread--if you had, you wouldn't be bringing up letters and invitations, and perhaps you wouldn't have had your unfortunate experience at the border. democrat4: |

Dear VO, I did my MBA degree online and I have been invited to attend the commencement ceremony scheduled to hold in some weeks time. Since I am not going for tourism, business, medical or schooling, kindly confirm what visa category i need to apply for. |

Hello VO My wife was issued a B2 Visa to come and birth in america this month. She was issued a 2year Visa. Can she use it to birth our next child or should she come for another interview before proceeding for the second child birth even though her Visa is still valid? |
Re: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening by 321d: 12:16pm On Mar 30, 2017 |
Hello VO. I was refused a b2 visa to deliver my baby in the US and to see my parent who suffers amnesia after 2 cardiac arrests. I have previously been to the US and delivered my 1st child with all bills paid & receipts presented. However, during my interview i was asked if i used medicaid which i did not and just got the general refusal letter which doesn't state what the problem is. How do i ammend wrongs that even i am unaware of. Please advise. |

abujaniv: Dear VO, Thank you for the help. My nanny was refused the visa. She told the officer there was a contract but he did not get to view it. None of my documents for sponsorship/travel documents were requested also. Another thing I need to clarify was that the application made was for B1/B2, maybe I kindly ask that would domestic employee be strictly B1 and could this be the cause of refusal as a wrong category was chosen? Travel period is soon and I plan on reapplying for her ASAP. I would appreciate clarifications please |

Hello kels007. If the school has never issued you an I-20, the program is finished and you're going for just the graduation, it sounds like the standard B1/B2 visa is appropriate. kels007: |
Re: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening by abujaniv: 4:00pm On Mar 30, 2017 |
Hello kcprince. Birth tourism is legal, provided the applicant is open about their intent --at the Embassy/Consulate and the border-- and they pay their bills in full. kcprince: |
Re: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening by abujaniv: 4:05pm On Mar 30, 2017 |
Hello 321d. The situation you describe is one where the applicant has very strong US ties via the AMCIT child, parent, etc. Via previous inquiries from you on this forum, we can also see that this applicant has ongoing immigrant visa petitions. In that context, it can be difficult to show that the applicant in question overcomes the presumption of immigrant intent. 321d: |
Re: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening by abujaniv: 4:20pm On Mar 30, 2017 |
Hello Faree28. Domestic employees (nannies, stewards, cooks, chauffeurs, etc.) must over come the presumption of immigrant intent like everyone else applying for a tourist visa. On top of that, they must satisfy the conditions described in the website we cited. Principally, they must show a contract stipulating that the employee will be paid and protected to US standards, and we must be reasonably sure that the employer will abide by the contract. The power dynamic is tilted heavily toward the employer, and we must be vigilant against exploitation. [quote author=Faree28 post=55099702] Dear VO, Thank you for the help.

I have a B1/B2 Visa to the US and was suppose to travel by April 4,2017 for vacation as filled in my DS-160 Form but now am engaged with an official assignment that would not make my travel on that date feasible. Do i need to inform the US embassy of this development or can enter the US at any date more convenient. |
Re: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening by kcprince: 5:53pm On Mar 30, 2017 |
abujaniv:Thank you for the reply but my question was not well answered. My wife was given a two year Visa and she stated she was going to give birth. Can she still use the visa to give birth a second time before it expires? Or does she need to seek permission to birth the second time even if her Visa is still valid? |
Re: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening by Faree28: 7:03pm On Mar 30, 2017 |
abujaniv: Thank you for the info abujaniv. I quite understand better now. She demanded for an interpreter also but was told to communicate in the little she could speak. I also expected that details of the sponsor could have been looked at too. Is it OK to reapply for the B1 immediately as travel date is 1st May. I am actually just in a fix now. This would be against the norm of waiting for 90days. Hoping for a better experience for her |
Re: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening by abujaniv: 7:51pm On Mar 30, 2017 |
Asking repeatedly will not change the answer. kcprince: |
Re: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening by abujaniv: 7:53pm On Mar 30, 2017 |
There is no 90-day rule about reapplying. That said, an applicant should deeply consider whether their circumstances have changed or they have fresh information to offer before applying again. Faree28: |
Re: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening by Faree28: 8:50pm On Mar 30, 2017 |
abujaniv: Agreed! Thank you One last question- Domestic worker visa accompanying a person with a passport with visa waiver should be B1 and cannot be B1/B2 as earlier done. Kindly advise |

Hello Faree28. As we indicated recently, we hardly ever split up the B1/B2 categories. If an applicant applies for one and is qualified, we usually authorize both. Faree28: |
Re: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening by 321d: 7:31am On Mar 31, 2017 |
abujaniv: Hello VO, Thanks for your response! Wow! Just sad and unfortunate uhn? So it really doesn't count that i have been to the US multiple times and did not stay back. Or that I am married and have a well paying job and property? Although I stated conjugal relationship than married in my application because i do not have a marriage certificate (had only a traditional wedding) ... so does this mean reapplying is like trying the powerball? Lol |

Re: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening by JonJon2017: 3:20pm On Mar 31, 2017 |
Hello Sir, in the event that one is denied renewal of visa because she gave birth on a b1b2 visa, is it possible for her to reapply and be given another visa? Or is there a ban? In order to prevent spending more resources on the visa fee. Thank you. |
Re: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening by abujaniv: 1:42pm On Apr 01, 2017 |
Hello JonJon2017. First of all, giving birth in the US is not grounds for denial. As we have said many times here, birth tourism is legal, provided the applicant obeys the rules. Not following the rules damages one's credibility, and that can be grounds for denial. The most common refusal is section 214b, which covers a wide range of ineligibilities, from weak ties to one's home country to doubts that the applicant will use the visa appropriately. There is no appeal for a 214b refusal, but those denied under it may apply again at any time. More serious refusals do carry travel bans, from three years to life. If an applicant is given a travel ban, he/she will be told about it, what the consequences are and if it is possible to request a waiver of the ineligibility. JonJon2017: |
Re: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening by Faree28: 7:54am On Apr 02, 2017 |
abujaniv: Is my domestic worker supposed to have a contact in the US as this is also required on the DS 160 The contact person filled was my contact as she knows no one, she was asked for name and address of where she was going to stay in the US. She mentioned state and didn't know the address considering she's not very good in speaking English. This was where she was handed the blue paper. |

Good day VO Please I have been able to submit my DS-160 form without these questions 1.Have you ever travelled before. 2. Work/Education history. 3.Have you made specific travel arrangements. These questions above did not show up when I was filling the form yet I was able to submit it. It was after submission that I realized they did not display. Best, |
Re: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening by abujaniv: 1:33pm On Apr 03, 2017 |
The application is the same for domestic workers as it is for anyone else. So yes, a contact must be listed. Faree28: |
