Mancala:


This may sound like splitting hairs, but lets make an important distinction. Converting a B1/B2 visa to something else like a permanent residency while in the US is not illegal in itself. What is frowned upon is immigration intent at the time of obtaining the B1/B2. You should not obtain a visiting visa when your intent is to immigrate or with the express intent to convert to a permanant residency when you get to the U.S. If you tell the VO, as you rightly should, that you plan to stay and convert when you arrive in the U.S., you will most likely be denied and advised to apply for the appropriate visa category (whatever that is, and good luck with that).

However, if you obtain a visiting visa with the original intent of visiting and returning at the appropriate time, but circumstances change while you are visiting... for example, by chance, you meet and fall in love with the "love of your life" and get legally married.... in this case, you are perfectly within the law to change your visa through the AOS process. It all depends on original intent which almost always resides in the applicants head and leads to subjective means to determine. Kudos to the OP for coming clean with his intent and making the VO's job easy. He is either an honest gentleman, or extremely naive

Durchess:

Tnk u , pls can you explain further. All we have right now is the printed pages of what we took to the interview. Even the previous appointment details was not sent us. Everything was through the agent and a third party was involved too. That's why I want to know if we can follow the processes stated on this platform and start afresh.

sign into CGI website with your username and password (possibly create a new one),there you can update profile and request new password.
The agent ddnt give you copy of ds160 form?what printed pages did you take to interview? Agents are bad please stop using and discourage any1 around you too from using them

Hello family, please, my cousin and her family wants to renew their b1/b2 visa. The visa is still valid till August though but they wanna renew it. In case they get denied. Will the formal one still be valid?

Huh?...why do they want to fix something that is not broken

seyewest:


If you apply for Visa renewal, your current visa will be cancelled no matter the expiry date on it (Even though they deny or issue the visa).

Not exactly true.... It can remain valid till expiry date. I've actually seen someone that traveled and came back while awaiting his 221(g) interview appointment lately here.

pained agent number 2

Agent number 3 says "you are an he-goat Azuh"! How dare you list these names in your madness? Seye, MamaOO and LadyG? These are people I've not met but can stake my very self for them as far as this thread is concerned irrespective of whatever shortcomings your mind ministers to you.... Oga, you are a goat and a big time saboteur! This thread will outlive you oh. Taah!!!

i had 5 weeks and 3 days left on my visa b4 dropbox,visa was cancelled and I was advised to pick a 221g date. Different case for different scenario I guess

Sure.... The instance I gave is not too far from your time frame, he got the 221(g) letter, scheduled interview for April and still travelled to the US for Christmas and New Year, back to naija and waiting for interview now. Different case, different scenario.

Good morning everyone. I have a question please. Early this year, I was denied an F2 visa to be with my husband who is a Masters student. I am planning to reapply for a B2 visit visa in July to visit him but I don't know if this is a wrong step, I mean changing the type of visa from F2 to B2. Thank you for your response.

if he is a green card owner let him petition for you

Everyone i greet you all, i would like to extend my greetings to all the GURU's on the platform for helping so many people secure visa on this platform...Well i am new on this thread, i never imagine i could find a thread like this... well i would like to explain my ordeal and please i want y'all to know that i never knew something like this existed on here else i wouldn't have falling victims of been scammed by agent...
All this happened last year, now i really need your help and pls i wanna inquire is it true they can help to clear someone history to make it look like you have not applied before? is this really possible? and again considering my story please what could be done, i visited Dubai and spent 10 days 7 weeks after i was denied US, just to have some history and planning south Africa too because i want to re apply again...

Since you don't want us to criticize you, I don't know what to say to you.... I wondered how come you people stumbled across this thread on NL after paying agent.

MamaOO:

not like i don't want to be critized but some ppl will just talk down on you without giving their advice, thats why, even if you will talk me down please still advice me, when you strike a child with right hand, you path him or her with the other... now my question is, is it possible for history to be cleared? i met someone else who was telling me this.

Wizplynfrosh:
am sorry bro, don't use that agent again if help you package it again and you go for another interview if the consular should leave his seat to go inside bro him going inside is to confirm your identity and he should find out it fake, bro 10years ban or forever ban my advise is that try other european country my 2cent

To be honest, I will advise you to stay away from U.S Embassy for 5 yrs and through that 5 yrs make sure you visit countries with quality visa process e.g UK, EU, Japan, S.Korea, Australia, Canada etc

You must show that you're not a flight risk and also develop your other ''ties'' so that by the time you re-apply to visit U.S and coming clean at the embassy, it will be easy for you to get a visa to visit U.S.

seyewest:


Try the F2 again.

Thank you so much for your response, but I forgot to add that the reason why I want to reapply for B2 and not F2 is because he will be graduating this December. I was worried about the time remaining. Do you think it doesn't matter? Thank you
