Good evening house. Please I want to ask how long does it take to reapply for US visa after being denied?


It depends on the reason for refusal, if it has something to do with financial ground then you need to wait for at least 6 months, but for no just reason, you could reapply immediately and be ready to demonstrate that you have a strong ties to your country and your purpose of travel is genuine.

I could have sworn I didn’t see anything as such when I filled for my family on May 8 using Abuja. I think it’s either a new thing or just for lagos
RefKing:


Are you sure these
PREVIOUSLY DENIED & REGULAR visa priority option is not a new development?. Because, I didn't see anything of such(previously denied option) while schedule appointment some months ago.

Hello House, thanks for the knowledge you people have been sharing.

I have some couple of questions to ask hopefully people will be able to help out.

I have been denied b1/b2 twice last year. Was seeking to go to the US for a conference although i blamed myself for the refusal because i wasn't prepared at all ( shy and lacked confidence) and yet to know about this site( This must have been the most underrated site ever). I was asked some question that i would have answered but fear catch me i con dey stammer smiley. I had just a single travel history to India before my refusal but i have strengthen that by visiting Abu dhabi after i was refused.
Secondly my role at work has changed and my salary has improved and i own a car now.

I have scheduled my interview for July and still applying for the same conference.

My questions are:
1. what reason should i give for my initial refusal in my ds160. Should i just say according to 214b i failed to demonstrate i have ties that will compel me to return to my country or is there a way i can juice this up a bit
2. how bad Will the initial double refusal affect my chances
3.If you make a mistake in your ds160 form and you update and correct it after you have submitted initially, will the consular see the edited info.

Thanks.

I want denial beacuse of insufficient ties or that the VO was not satisfied with my ties. I believe my circumstances av improved, my role at work has changed and my salary has improved.
2. The double refusal will not affect y chances of getting visa. Just prepare your self well.
3. I d'nt really get question 3. Some1 else can assist ps

Thanks for your swift response. what i meant by the 3rd question is: assuming i filled my date of birth to be January 2017 in my previous form and i changed that unknowingly in my second form to January 2018 and then realised i have made a mistake after i had signed and submitted the document. i filled a new document and corrected the mistake. Will the consular know that i filled another form?

I am not sure they will know that u fill another form. The application form they will use is the one u presented the barcode on the day of interview. Just make sure that the barcode is the same with de schedule appointment. Others can also contribute ps

2. What are the necessary things to expect please
3.What are my chances of getting a visa with no travel history and with the passport bearing my oldname


1. There is no need changing y name. The name u will use in the application form is the name on your recent passport. If the passport is bearing y madien name that is what u will use, if it is bearing y hubby name u use it. The instruction given on the application form is input the name as it appears on y passport.
2.if u go through this tread well (from part 1-3) u will see similar questions the VO asked applicants that av the same honeymoon vacation like u.
Likely questions :- VO will like to know the purpose u are traveling. Just tell VO that u and hubby are going for honeymoon, u just had y wedding and u choose to visit USA to enjoy y moon.
The VO can ask u were u are working, position, duties, monthly salary, how long u av been working in the bank. The VO can also ask u about y hubby,tell him he has a visa already, carry a photocopy of hubby visa or u take his passport with u to interview.
VO can ask about y hubby job.The VO may ask if u and hubby av travel together. May ask why u choose to travel to USA for moon, may ask tourist attractions u will like to visit.
3. No body can tell u the chances of getting visa only the VO knows. Some people av testify getting visa with no travelling history. However for y hubby aving travelled to USA i think that can also help. The old name on y passport does not matter.
Just parpare very well and pray. All the best

Does the previous form get deleted? No. Can it still be accessed? Yes. Nothing stops the US Embassy from bringing up every record they have in their system about you. A previously completed DS160 form is part of their records.

That being said, what kind of mistake did you make?

My interview appointment was this morning. but I was turned back and wasn't allowed to attend my interview, reasons was because I edited my DS-160 form and hence a new confirmation code was generated, even though I Duly contacted CGI to have my profile updated with my new confirmation number and it was successful, only for getting to the embassy to discover that they still had the old confirmation. I was given the opportunity to reschedule after 3 business workimg days.but can I make use of the recent DS-160 to reschedule another appointment or I will need to fill another D'S 160-form and start all over again.

Really? What has changed lately in this process that made yours fail? Did you even try updating your profile with the new DS160 number yourself? But you should have checked too if the one on your profile matched with the one on your interview appointment letter before and after printing. I don't think this is their fault per se but yours due to an oversight on your part.

If the info on the new DS160 form is still valid at the moment and will still be valid as at the date of your rescheduled interview, then go ahead and use it, update your profile with it. If not, fill a new one and use it to update your profile....

Do this profile update first before rescheduling your interview oh, don't for any reason miss that step! And do let the house in on your mum's interview transcript too. Regards....

1. It depends on what you like and how you want to spend your vacation. Google is your friend, and there loads of tourist/holiday destination review websites.
2. Depends on what plans you make. IMO, it is good you make your plans known. It might save time at the interview, especially if it makes sense.
3. If you make travels plans, you need to put the address. If you use the hotel as your USA contact, you better have a reservation with them.

"My cousin has an issue with retrieving his half completed DS 160 form. When he tried to retrieve and complete the DS 160 form, he was told that "Data cannot be found".

I already talked on it right on this page even, you could take a cue from it.

Well, login to your profile and click on update profile and change the DS160 confirmation number to the new, then save. If you scheduled an appointment already as it seems, just click on appointment confirmation in one of those boxes on your profile page and print or send yourself a new one (be sure everything tallies sha oh, cos I dunno if the CGI people have shifted goalpost on this matter just lately).

A quick one, as you rightly observed, an appointment has already been booked. If the profile is updated with the new confirmation number and saved, a box indicating "appointment confirmation" will pop up uh?

No, it won't pop up nothing. After updating profile, click on "Home" at the top left, anytime you are on the home page, the six boxes are always there, not conversant with all their content unless I log into my profile now to quickly jog my memory, but I know one of them, a clearly recognizable one, will help you out in printing a new and updated Appointment Confirmation. Dazzol!

U can only tell them if u were asked. If u were not ask just keep quiet. Moreso they d'nt ask for other countries denial in the DS-160 form, what they only ask is if u av been denied visa for USA , then u state it for them. I have been previously denied UK visa 2011 and 2012 but USA pple no ask me if I was denied visa for any country in my DS-160.

My colleague was denial visa for UK in 2015 and she quickly applied for USA with her daughter and she was given that year despite UK stamp the refusal in her passport, she was still given. Ps if I may ask did Canada stamp refusal in y passport?

The VO can only see the refusal when he check y
passport , that was why I asked if Canada stamp refusal for y passport? USA d'nt stamp sha, but I know that UK stamp. However the VO only check y passport as soon as soon as u get to him or when he ask u if u av travelled before, if u say yes, then he check the new and old passport. At the beginning when he ask for y passport, he might not check it. While they request for y passport at 1st is to enable them check y confirmation code to retrieve y D-160 application. During y check in to the embassy, they will stamp y confirmation code on y passport, so that is why they ask for y passport as soon as u get to Vo. They d'nt even look at y confirmation print out. Only the confirmation stamp on y passport.

No need to tell the VO, except he sees it and ask. Just be calm and focus more on your USA interview and make sure u really fill the form well and work on y work details very well. They are more concern on y work, y years of expeience, duties and y salary. If u have any other issue u can ask or mail me. I will be glad to put u through everything because I will not like anybody to make silly mistake and y hard earn money goes like that. It is just silly mistakes and lack of knowledge that made most of us get visa denial.

Anyone experience this before, non - immigrant application - not rejected but got you must undergo additional administrative processing but your passport was returned to you.

Anybody got this before and what was the outcome?

Thanks

2 options
Ist.
1. Get an international passport
2. Go to the altar at your local mosque or church
3. Cut yourself with a knife like the prophets and call down fire like Elijah
4. Wait for the fire to imprint the visa on your passport.

Or 2nd
Research /Use Google and follow the steps clearly spelt out in the US embassy website.

Either option works fine
