amarachi007: If you are a husband and wife in the immigration process (IR-1 Visa)and you separated and divorced before NVC. However you got remarried by the time of interview would you have to start all over in the petitioning? Or with good explanation for divorce and reconciliation be good enough to consider?

Is that one of those be honest up front situations or would you be doomed to being denied and never being able to immigrate?

sholly: I wonder if i should just defer because i just had my sevie done my MBA orientation is 22nd of august and i wonder if i still got a chance to book appointment and meet it before the Orientation begins? Please help me with the right info and best option for me. will i be able to get an appointment day for my interview soon?

VisaOfficer:

Four rejections in one year do paint a negative picture. I would wait until your personal circumstances have changed significantly enough that the next officer can see why he or she should issue a visa, in spite of the past refusals.

VisaOfficer:

Good news! I asked our legal advisor in the U.S. and it turns out there IS a loophole! "Posts often return such cases to USCIS -- who will just reaffirm them as long as the relationship is otherwise valid. However you do have the option to move forward with the case, and not return, where the relationship is legally and otherwise valid, despite the pit stop." In short, as usual, being honest will not hurt your case! (This is an unusual situation, so you may want to print out this post and have it with you to show the officer, just in case.)

interestingleap: Urgent advice needed. A friend has a Visitor VISA interview this week. She would be visiting a friend but she filled a wrong information in the "Organization Name in the U.S." field for her friend.
The friend she would be visiting already left the company she imputed and is now working in another equally reputable firm but she had already submitted the form only for this info to come up recently. What would you advise at the interview if questions are asked in this regard.
Thanks you.

amarachi007:

So just go to interview with divorce papers and new marriage certificate. We also have the original marriage certificate from the first time?

Should we notify the embassy ahead of time. My wife plans on being at interview. I am sure they may have questions.

Thank you for your input.

thuyahky: @visa officer what i mean ‎​į̸̸̨§ that have already change the address and the email when am filling the dsp form,hope have not make a mistake

gustavus24589: hello, i went for a visa interview at the Abuja embassy, and i do not know if i was awarded the visa, the man who interviewed me asked questions, looked at my documents and then after he had done this he advised me too make time for an extra three hours delay if i was taking connecting flights within the us to my destination for additional screening by the us immigration, then he gave me a paper titled collecting your issued visitors visa, and held on to my international passport, and called the next person, and i turned and went home, but unlike the other interviews i didn't hear him say " your visa request has been approved" i'm a bit worried because i realize i saw some people still hanging around whose names were called and they answered some questions, this people were not on the line with me, and so i suspect that the had seen the interviewer and had waited for some additional info, i don't know if there is some additional process i should have gone through or if i was right to leave as soon as the next person was called.

VisaOfficer:

I apologize -- I don't understand your question...

VisaOfficer:
Shouldn't be a problem. Just tell the truth if asked and everything should be fine.

interestingleap: Hi VisaOffice,
My intention is to visit my brother who just started working after haven recently completed his graduate program in the US and also take my son to Disneyland during our visit. I currently work in a well known multinational but my passport is still virgin.I am not sure whether to simply apply to visit my brother or apply to vacation at disney or if I should combine both intentions in my application.Kindly advice on an option that might increase my chances. Could my virgin passport affect my chances?
Just to mention, my spouse is currently undergoing an educational program in Europe hence he wouldn't be going with us. Thank you

VisaOfficer:
Hi there! I'm a fan of telling the whole truth, so, I'd just tell the officer exactly what you told me about your plans. If you're otherwise qualified, having two different reasons to visit the U.S. won't prejudice your case at all. Best of luck!

goldentie4real: Good morning visa officer. Please i need your advise on this issue my. When my dad was filling for his green me and my 3 other siblings where less than 21yrs and he included our names in his application as beneficiary but by the time he got his green card in 2000 most of us were already above 21 and unfortunately both him and his attorney failed to petition for us. He got his citizenship around 2010 and when he felt like petitioning for us different people are saying we will queue for years because we are not in the immediate family category. Now these are my questions 1. Must we wait for many years again despite the fact that we were less than 21 when he was filling for his green card. 2. We all have wifes and some have children but not legally married does that help in anyway 3. If my dad petition for us how long will it take before we can be given visa. Is there anyway you can help. Please we need your expert advice infact things are not working well for us, two of us were disengaged from our banking job few years back we are suffering thanks.

thuyahky: what i mean ‎​į̸̸̨§ that the address and email that i use in the initial stage when applying for the dv am no longer use it again so when am filling the dsp form have change it to the new one,hope have not make a mistake

Malcolm28: Hello CO,
Thanks for the brilliant responses to the questions here. I am a DV2014 selectee and have asked questions and received answers from you before. My question goes thus: In Question 10 on the DS0230 FORM where the following question was asked "Permanent Address in the United States where you intend to live if known (Street Name Including Zip Code) Include the name of the person who currently lives there" My response was " Permanent Address in the United States where I intend to Live not known yet". Will this affect my application? and should I immediately get an address and file to KCC to ensure I am not denied a visa? I'd appreciate your take on this. Much appreciated Sir.

interestingleap:

Thank you for your earlier response. My purpose for wanting to visit the US is primarily for my Vacation at Disney world but I also intend seeing my brother. Based on this, I am at a loss as to which detail to fill into the under-listed fields in my DS-160 form. Not sure if it should be that of the vacation booking company or my brothers'.
