It is always best to be honest with your application. What do you do at the moment? Are your parents still working and who is sponsoring the trip?

saintobi009:
Guys please when filling the DS-160 they asked if I am a permanent residence of any country , What is I have a residence permit but not permanent residence, what do I fill ? the permit is for 3 years , Please is it the same or I fill No.

Kimbebe:
Keep checking, you’ll get an earlier one or pay an agent to get you an earlier date.

Pls who else was invited for interview after drop box visa renewal? This is my 4th visa renewal and I haven't had problems renewing in the past. My first interview was in London while I was doing my masters. My husband has a valid USA visa. He travelled in Jan spent 2weeks and came back. (He too was invited for interview after drop box and was issued visa). I don't have family in USA. The last time I spent 7 weeks as against 4weeks ( i was stamped 6months entry). I was supposed to stay because I had conjunctivitis (Apollo) and shifted my ticket till I felt better. I have a good travel history with uk and eu. I am not pregnant and don't have kids and I would be travelling alone. Any idea why this happened and possible questions? Thanks a lot!

What is the difference?

mrprolifik:

USING ITALY FOR EXAMPLE AND SAME GOES FOR MOST OF THE COUNTRIES IN THE EU. A PERMANENT RESIDENCE PERMIT IS THE EQUIVALENT OF WHAT IS KNOWN AS GREEN CARD IN THE USA . IN MOST EU COUNTRY IT'S CALLED THE E.U PERMIT FOR LONG PERIOD AND IN ITALY IT'S CALLED CARTA SORGIONO PER LUNGO PERIODO . OTHER PERMITS IN THE FORM OF 6MONTHS, 1 YEAR , 2 YEARS OR 3 YEARS ARE NOT PERMANENT HENCE IT NEEDS TO BE RENEWED UPON EXPIRY IF CERTAIN CONDITIONS ARE MET. PLEASE NOTE THAT PERMANENT RESIDENCE PERMIT IN ITALY DOESN'T NEED RENEWAL.
IN ITALY IF YOU HAVE A PERMANENT RESIDENT PERMIT YOU CAN STAY OUTSIDE THE E.U FOR A MAXIMUM OF 1YEAR AND STILL BE ALLOWED ENTRY TO ITALY, OR STAY OUTSIDE ITALY FOR 6 YEARS BUT REMAIN WITHIN THE E.U DURING THIS 6 YEARS OR ELSE YOU WILL LOOSE IT. BUT WITH OTHER PERMIT YOU CAN'T DO THIS.
I HOPE YOU NOW KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

He can tell where is applying for. If he has a card, he is a permanent resident even if it's two years. If he is not a resident, he can't apply from the country. He must go to his country of birth.

mrprolifik:

FOLMUS DON'T MISUNDERSTAND ME. I DIDN'T SAT HE OR SHE CAN'T APPLY FROM WHEREVER HE OR SHE IS LIVING AT THE MOMENT EITHER TEMPORARILY OR PERMANENTLY . I WAS ONLY TRYING TO PASS A MESSAGE TO THE ORIGINAL POSTER BECAUSE HE ASKED ABOUT RESIDENCE PERMIT AND WANTED TO KNOW IF TO SELECT PERMANENT RESIDENT BASED ON HIS OR HER QUESTION. .
HERE IS A LINK FROM WIKIPEDIA THAT TALKS ABOUT THIS MORE. WE ARE ALL HERE TO HELP EACH OTHER OUT. I AM JUST GIVING THE ORIGINAL POSTER AN ANSWER BASED ON MY OWN UNDERSTANDING OF HIS OR HER QUESTION.

folmus:


Sure! I quite understand your message. Since we don't know his country of residence, we may have this divergent opinions. However, 3 years is not a temporary residency. If he has a resident card, he is a permanent resident of the country. He is different from a tourist who can't enjoy enjoy what he can enjoy. We are all here to learn. someone wrote the content on wikipedia and quora based on what he or she knows. I am telling you too what I know. Cheers!

mrprolifik:

FOLMUS I THINK YOU ARE RIGHT IN YOUR OPINION REGARDING THE RESIDENCE CARD.
BUT FROM MY OWN UNDERSTANDING, THE POSTER WAS REFERING TO RESIDENCE PERMIT AND NOT RESIDENCE CARD. FROM WHAT I KNOW A RESIDENCE PERMIT AND A RESIDENCE CARD COULD MEAN 2 DIFFERENT THINGS. BUT JUST AS U RIGHTLY SAID SINCE WE DON'T KNOW HIS COUNTRY OF RESIDENCE ONE CAN'T BE TOO SURE. THANKS

Bros, the way you write in capital letters is doing me somehow...

kelEmi:


.
Now my questions are:
1. Do they need to fill separate DS-160 forms?
Yes they have to.

2. Should the letter indicate that she and her husband are invited or just her?
Both. Or the whole family since you suggested it below in


3. Aside filling the form, paying the fees and booking an interview date, is there any other thing we're missing?
Evidence of financial capability.

4. What and what should they go with during interview to help their case?
Self confidence and other items the gurus will post about. Alongside the appointment confirmation. GTPay. Passports


5. Is there any way they can include their kids so that subsequently in the future they can all travel for holidays? Or should they apply for just themselves now and apply whenever they're ready to holiday as a family?
If they can show financial capability and the dates don't fall during school period. They can apply for the whole family.

Rule number 11

kelEmi:
Hello guys!
Thank you all for the great work you're doing here.
Please guys, I have few questions that I could sincerely use your help with and it's quite urgent.

A friend of mine (and her husband) wants to attend her friend's wedding in the US, the said friend that is getting married is willing to send her invite. They have 3 kids, she owns a registered business (a school) and her husband owns another registered business, they have landed properties and other tangible ties. Their intention is sincere and will return back to Nigeria to face their lives.
Now my questions are:
1. Do they need to fill separate DS-160 forms?
2. Should the letter indicate that she and her husband are invited or just her?
3. Aside filling the form, paying the fees and booking an interview date, is there any other thing we're missing?
4. What and what should they go with during interview to help their case?
5. Is there any way they can include their kids so that subsequently in the future they can all travel for holidays? Or should they apply for just themselves now and apply whenever they're ready to holiday as a family?
I promised her I'd help her get as much information as I can because the agent they wanted/want to use is asking for almost a million naira. So I consulted few pages from each part of this wonderful thread, and I might not have enough time to go through the thousands of pages. More so, some of the info are as far back as 2011-2015 and i believe some rules or procedures must have been changed, knowing fully well how sensitive US immigration is at the moment. So please if you all don't mind assisting as much as you can. Thank you all so much, God bless you

@Seyewest @justwise @hiatuses and everyone please help
