Hello Everyone,

Just found this thread and I am so glad I did. Thanks to all who respond in helping others.

My situation is this. My husband is a lpr who has filed i 130 for me. Anyone know if I can successfully get a visa with a pending i 130?

Also when applying, should i use my statement or my husband statement since he is the one sponsoring me and the trip. My statement of account is not too adequate. I am also a hair dresser, are there any documents I can use in backing this up in terms of my job?

Thanks in advance

Kieranfrench:
once i 130 is filed, u are not entitled to apply for visa because you will be refused by the VO.

Thanks for your response, regarding account statement, I intend going with the company account statement, and letter of sponsorship.
Do I have high or low chances of getting a visa approval?

Hello Good day everyone. my story is quite strange. I got a 2 years US tourist VISA in 2016 to expire november 2018. Have travelled twice with the visa and was planing my third travel right around when the visa would expire so i opted to renew it via dropbox even before it expires. When i got my passport i saw a 221g letter attached to it asking me to schedule an interview.... i didn't know wrong i did. was very disappointed. i ended up still travelling with my visa because it had 3 months still valid. Reaching d border, i was interviewed as usual and passed through with ease. Made me even more confused why my visa wasn't renewed via dropbox. Now this is what you have to know too, i got a new passport with my surname changed (because am married so wanted to answer my husbands name). My husband however is an American with a foreign name. So have been thinking if my change of name on my new passport had something to do with my visa not renewed. I scheduled my interview on april with the first available date that i saw.... Just few days ago i received a mail from the embassy that they have rescheduled me for next week..... bringing my interview date closer ...lol i don't know what i did to them. am confused....

any advice please? thank you
NB: never overstayed, first trial i got the visa so not been rejected before, have a good travel history.

See the above again and see the below too....



These guys can call you up for any random reason. As long as you never overstayed nor fail to abide by the visa conditions, you should be good, especially that you made a trip to the US with it as earlier scheduled and came back should be a plus too methinks.... I personally believe if it was anything major, you wouldn’t pass the radar of the CBP on arrival to the US POE, I may be entirely wrong on this though but I doubt I am.

You could be a young adult hoping to get to US and hustle for your family. You may not come back.
Ghana is not a migration destination for Nigerians, so it's not really weighty.
But I am of the school of thought that insufficient evidence of strong ties back home influenced the VOs decision.

Hello Everyone,

Pls i need some clarifications. My spouse did dropbox in November for a travel slated for December and got the 221g interview. His interview date is 21st March,howevwr his pasport expires in May and he has gone to renew but passport is not ready for pick up.

My Questions:

Can he attend the interview with his soon to expire passport?Yes

If he's able to get his new passport before the interview,is he suppose to do any amendment to his DS160 or he should just go with both passports?

Anyone kindly respond..

Thank you

I'm sorry to hear about what happened but I think you've not painted the full picture of what happened in New York, I see no big deal in entering through New York except you have no onward flight to Florida or maybe you have suspicious stuffs in your baggage, suspicious messages on your phones and probably you've posted a lot of info on SM that you have no plan to return to Nigeria before taking this trip.

I'm not sure you will get a U.S visa in a long while and I wondered why you never tried our countries like E.U, UK and Australia.

Please forget about U.S for now.

awumen:
Yes he can attend interview with soon to expire passport

Dear Members, Please just a clarification. If one does a Dropbox visa renewal application and was called for a 221g interview and the interview was successful and B1/B2 Visa issued. When filling a renewal form when the current visa must have expired, what would be the answer to the question have you ever been denied/refused a US visa before?

Cc: @Justwise, seyewest, omobendel

justwise:


Have you ever been refused a visa to US? You should know the answer

ozymes:
@seyewest, Justwise, Omobendel,

Was sent a mail to go collect passport after Dropbox submission with an attached letter asking to schedule 221g interview to speak with a VO and the Visa was approved and issued.

Kieranfrench:
whats the difference between a regular interview and a 221g interview ?
