Guys I have a small problem, I'm working on a particular U.S visa application and the surname is three (3) letters, anytime I fill the first page of ds160 it keep logging me out, do I use the first name which is more than 3 letters or what can I do? Solved, it was a network issue. |

Good evening house. God bless everyone contributing their quotas here. Here’s my problem, my cousin sent me an invite. I made the visa fee payment at gtb myself, snapped and sent the slip to my friend in the USA to help
Me fill it. Cos I don’t wanna make a mistake. He then gave his friend in the UK who’s a travel agent to fill it for free. He didn’t ask of my passport to upload. He only asked of my bio data, I sent him the a copy I snapped with my phone instead of a scanned one. I was at work and promised to scan the bio the following day. I was surprised he processed everything without asking for my passport. Now, he used two names instead of three names on my international passport. And I can’t edit it. He registered via this site: https:// cgifederal.secure.force .com. Someone should pls help me on how I can edit it properly. Thanks 2 names okay for CGI site... you have to provide your full name for your ds160 form. |

2 names okay for CGI site... you have to provide your full name for your ds160 form. Are you sure about this sir? And again, the guy that filled it didn’t ask me for my passport photograph, neither did he collect my bio data to fill the form. Is passport photograph necessary in filling the form? Pls, answer ASAP cos I’m contemplating on paying for another form tomorrow or next. Thanks �� |

Had my appointment and my visa was approved.
A lot of people were rejected. As usual there was a VO rejecting almost everyone and I was praying not to be sent there.
We were all standing in front of the VOs. I was the last on the queue. At some point it was a lady and I left there other people behind us were still taking finger prints. It was the lady’s turn but the VO directly in front of us asked me to come to him and he sent the lady to another VO. The VO who called on me wasn’t the one Viciously rejecting people but he just rejected the 3 People before me
My transcript:
VO: *cracks an initial joke and laughs
Me: *laughing even though I didn’t hear what he said
Me: good morning
VO : good morning, how are you today
Me: im ok , how about yourself?
VO: I’m great ... so why are you going to the US
Me: holiday
VO: how long?
Me: about 3 weeks
VO : where are you going
Me : *mentions name of city
VO: What’s the longest time you spent in the US
Me: 5months
VO: can you tell me about that?
Me: I was on an F1 visa, went as a Graduate student
VO: *cuts me short* was that a semester course ?
Me: no, it was a two year program , I Came home a lot at every chance I got
VO: You were missing home?
Me: yes.
VO: what school did you go?
Me;*******
VO: so what countries have you been to asides the US?
Me: Canada , UK, Dubai and the US.. oh sorry You Saïd asides the US..
VO: *laughs * yes cos I can see here that you have been to the US a gazillion multiple times ... so tell me about your last trip to the US?
Me: I travelled for a week, went on tour(mentioned some tourism attractions in the city I went) , did some shopping.
VO: you married?
Me: yes
VO : how many kids do you have?
Me: A cute little one
VO: are you traveling with your husband and child ?
Me: not at this time
VO: why?
Me: I need some me time really...
VO: *laughs* some me time?
Me: You know what I mean
VO : *laughs* yeah I do ... so what do you do for work?
Me: I’m a surgeon, I work at ***** I do **** surgeries, reconstruct bla bla (my comfort zone so I spent time there)
VO: Wow! you sound like you love what you do?
Me: im pretty passionate about it.
VO: are you visiting family?
Me: no I’m not
Vo placed my passport On the blue paper and my heart sunk. Then he says :
VO: I won’t be returning your passport at this time cos we have decided to give you A visa.
He brought out white paper.
Hé was friendly but more friendly with the 2 people He had rejected just before me. So I was nervous. I was worried also cos for every approval there were like 10 rejections. Most approvals were renewals.
This was my longest us visa interview. I don’t know why. thank God for everything 20 Likes |

Guys, I saw a news today saying that us visa applicants rejected on or after Jan 2020 are being considered to come back for another interview without paying for a new fee/filling new form.
