ediz,

As a policy, we don't provide information on specific cases - that being said, there could be a number of reasons (that you haven't even considered) as to why you didn't receive a U.S. visa. Inconsistencies between your application and statement are one key reason (and this is one of the reasons that we don't recommend any applicants go to an agent), but visa officers are also trained to look at your situation in your country of residence, your stated intent for going to the United States, your previous travel history, your financial situation, and a number of other factors.

If you are concerned about this, then you can explain your situation at your next interview. I recommend you look at your situation fully and try to assess whether or not other aspects of your interview also played a part in the decision.

Dear VO,

I applied with my wife and kid earlier this year and were both denied.

Myself, my wife and my kid traveled to South Africa last year however while in South Africa we obtain Swaziland visa but we didn't get the chance to travel there because the visa came out late and we had to get back to Nigeria!

In 2013 i traveled to Benin, Togo and Ghana!

So basically i have traveled to South Africa, Benin, Togo, and Ghana, but as a family we have only visited South Africa!

Due to my ignorance about US application, i told one silly agent to fill our DS-160 for us.
He booked the appointment before filling the form however he later completed the form just 2 days before our Interview!

He then printed the application form for me to see and study. Upon seeing it i noticed an error.

In my travel history he filled (1.) South Africa (2.) Swaziland (3.) Ghana (4.) Togo (5.) Benin,
like i have stated earlier, we didn't go to Swaziland but we have the visas on our passport respectively!

Fast Forward to our Interview, the VO asked where we have traveled to as a family and i responded with South Africa.

The VO Flipped through my passport ( she would have see on her system that i filled Swaziland and i didn't mention if i have been there, and while flipping through my passport she would see Ghana, Togo, Benin stamp and South Africa visa and stamp while she will only see Swaziland Visa and wont see any stamp!

We were denied the Visa and she handed us the 214b paper.

We are planning to reapply very soon and obviously i wont state Swaziland in my travel history for the last five years!

My question now is Hope this wont affect me during our Next Interview because the VO would see that Swaziland was stated in our previous application.

Please what can i do to rectify the error on my previous application

Please your Intelligent advice is needed on this!

Thanking you in advance!

Lady G i'm posting this here as you instructed but am making the long story short.

Hello Gurus in the House!

I applied for B1/B2 Visa with my wife and kid earlier this year, february 4 to be precise, my was wife visibly pregnant and we were denied though the interview didn't go well as i was very nervous and didn't answer all the questions fluently.

Me, my wife and my first child have a travel history!

We are now a family of Four as my wife gave birth to our second child almost 3 months ago and we are planning to reapply including our second child.

Please House is that a change in circumstance?

Thanks in anticipation.
