LadyG NOOOOOOOO what I'm saying is that you can print ds160 page after submitting it so far you've not done the interview not EDIT it.

mkmyers45:
If someone is to travel by 25th september to attend a program and the earliest date is 22nd september can the individual apply for emergency?

seyewest:
The ISSUE IS THIS:
-You have a DS160 FORM you submitted and you want to correct it even though you've submitted it
Well you can change it... from the cgifederal site so you won't have 2 different ds160 when you go for interview.
Is that what we are talking about? YES OR NO?

seyewest:
Not a submitted ds160 form but a submitted ds160 number can be replaced in the appointment site by yourself.

seyewest:
when you do that... The US embassy will still have your previous info... but by filling another form and re submitting it.. You've erased the previous DS160.
I will like to share it but the embassy will stop us from using it and I feel like we can help people with this small knowledge instead of waiting for the email which can sometimes take up to 12 hours.

OmoBendel24:
A trip back to our discussions on this subject matter from pages 98-100 will suffice bruv! Do you still remember I pressed you for a particular code/way round at some time then? It was the assumption that there was a key to editing an already submitted DS160 that we were on then Na. Noticed just today that we were all not in perfect sync on the exact topic area in our minds, a few misconceptions here and there that ws.

hello house

i have been a silent reader all this while

went for my interview yesterday and was denied.

one guy on window 4 attended to me

the guy has been dishing out blue paper even before it got to my turn,the ladies where a bit more kind and they listened better.

vo:hello mam,good afternoon kindly pass me your passport please
me:passed the passport and said good afternoon
vo:why are you going to the usa?
me:i am going to attend an advanced leadership training conference organised by the keystone project.
vo:what is the keystone project?
me:explained.
vo:who paid for the conference?
me:they paid for it,but i am paying for my visa fees and flight tickets
vo;are you married?
me:no
vo:do you have any kids:no
Vo:have you travelled out before
ME:told him
vo:where do you work?
me;told him
vo:what is your position?
me:business development executive and PA
vo:sorry we do not bla....................................and passed me the blue paper.

the truth is having read everything on this thread,i kind of knew i dnt have a chance since i put church conference.would have looked for a conference related to my course of study or work related.and also no travel history.

i would re apply but not this year again.

good morning house,
I started following this thread few days ago, nd it's really been awesome learning frm people's experience

please I need someone to shed more light this issue

I have my brother's wedding celebration to attend in the US on 24th of September
but I schedule my appointment before submitting the ds - 160 application form so as get enough space prior the interview, but fortunately I got 13th of September as my interview date. but I'm yet to submit the ds - 160 application.

1. scheduling appointment before submission of ds - 160, hope it's not detrimental?
2. the time frame btw my interview nd intended date of departure (22nd), wat effect does ave on my chance

though, I ave good job nd good pay, parents nd other siblings are here, but I'm single

hello,

I had my B1/B2 visa refused today under section 214/b. I heard the VO officer say she noticed some inconsistencies in what i said during my first visa interview which was denied last year and what i said earlier today. Does that mean i’m permanently banned?
Your response will be much appreciated.

kapela3:
here is the transcript of what transpired btw me and the VO
VO: Good morning Sir,
me: Morning
VO: Can i have your passport please?
me: of course
Vo: Why are you travelling to the US?
me: To attend the fourth annual conference on Bleep
vo: How many days you staying?
me: 5 days
vo: how long have you been in this country?
me: two years
VO: What do you do?
me: I'm a student- I'm in the final semester of a Master's prog in SDM.
Vo: Who is paying for the trip?
me: Myself- I did a summer job at Mercedes where i was able to save a considerable amount of money.
vo- Do you have any family member here?- i was gonna say no but i ended up saying yes(a distant relative-my uncle ...my dad's brother...i was just stuttering- coz the first time i applied, the vo gave me a blue paper immediately i answered no to that question
vo: he's been in this country for how long?
me: about 7 years now
Vo: You see, the American immigration system is a bit strict and i'm convinced that you are not qualified at this time.
me: Well, i applied last year, your colleague said the same thing. VO jumps in" i can see you were once refused a visa i also noticed some inconsistencies in the information provided.

** In my two applications, i didn't mention that my fiancé lives permanently in the US. We have intentions of getting married next year.Should i reapply before we get married or should i just wait until she files for me?

Thanks

kapela3:
Of course not...I didn't pad it. What i noticed is that the first time i applied, i was studying economics and finance which i filled in my application, but late last year, i changed my program and i filled in the new course in the new application. In the first application, i told the VO i didn't have anyone in my country of residence, during my second interview i told the vo i have someone here.

Also, i made some errors in the first ds-160 form that i submitted, i then cancelled my appointment and submitted a new ds-160 although there were some discrepancies in the information i filled in the first and the second ds-160 form regarding my income in the first one, i filled in €1120, in the second one i filled in €520- reason being that i have a student job that pays €520 and an account with the govt where i get €670 monthly.

could these be the inconsistencies she was talking about?

siina:
Previous denial/Lack of change in circumstances since previous denial. Consular officers often reflexively defer to a previous denial, citing to a lack of change in circumstances. Obviously, there may be personal or political considerations as well. This may occur even if an applicant is re-applying within days of the original approval, presenting new evidence. “What has changed since your last application?” is a common initial question. A widespread myth among applicants is that if they change the purpose of their trip — instead of going to visit Disneyworld, they decide to enroll in an ESL program — they will increase their chances of obtaining a visa. In doing so, they are of course digging their own visa “grave” deeper, exhibiting desperation, which may reflect on their ability to get a visa for years to come.....culled

kapela3:
would you advise i reapply again to clarify this inconsistency issue once and for all? i really don't mind paying another visa fee

LadyGuinivere:
Excellent. Where did u extract this from?
I wish folks can understand that change in circumstance is different from purpose of trip.

Cc:Fareedah please be careful to note that distinction when reapplying. Your ties (in my opinion ) weigh more than purpose of trip. If you hol' your side well, you can decide to go for a conference on global warming or on if dragons exist.
Take for example, if Uncle Dangote should apply for a visa to go for a conference on the possibility of dinosaurs making a comeback (God forbid ) he'll just be considered an eccentric person. But will that make the vo deny him? Most prolly not because he has more in Nigeria than in the US

LadyGuinivere:
No idea. Only she and you can know. But any inconsistency no matter how minute u think it may be casts aspersions on your intergrity and genuineness (I dunno if such a word exists sha)

milkydaddy:
Dear Freedah,
I do cherish people with great ideas......mostly people who knew where things were wrong wit them and who seek for remedy.Thank God u realised that the conference you chose was nt in any way tally with ur career,and course of study and no travelling history.
U are difrrent frm some folks that we come up here and asking silly questions why they were denied visa,as if Lady G and other gurus went with them to the interview. Wishing u d best in ur next application
