Thank you so much. Do you know any app she can use from there? I did the same for my brother. The sender will use wire transfer which can "BEST" be done inside the bank to avoid errors or stories I sent the funds into his USD dom account and he inturn transfered it into the GIC account easily! 1 Like |

@Flo123 I just filled a new DS-160 form and submitted. According to the advice I got here, I went into the CGI portal and updated the DS-160 number in there and saved. I'll give it 3days and then check if the interview has been linked 1 Like |

1. Use another browser ie mozilla, chrome or Microsoft Edge and using a computer might be easier than a mobile phone . Also try to clear catches and browsing histories because the website is naturally sensitive.
2. See attached for guidelines and how the page looks like. You have to choose a location and input the code as instructed. You also have to be quick in filling the form or better jotted down every info you want to fill because you would be timed out and have to start up again if you hesitate more than expected on a page.

1. @Debbieeeeeeee has given you the best answer. You have to fill a new DS 1-60 in order to align with your new travel itinerary and upload a recent passport photo. After that go back to your cgi and update the DS-160 after which you must print out another VISA appointment letter after 72 hours.
2. Login back to your cgi and click on update profile look out for where your old DS-160 number was written and clears it off and type your new DS-160 confirmation number in the space then stroll downward towards right hand and click save.
3. Login to your cgi after 3 days and click on Appointment which will give you the option to print out another VISA appointment letter. The new letter will contain your new DS-160 confirmation number.

It was initially filled in 2023 and he got the interview date for July 2024. All info on the previous form he filled remains the same. Does he only need to take a recent passport photograph along for his interview? Or do we have to fill another DS-160 form again? If yes, pls advise on how to do that.....thanks in advance! 1 Like |

Limits to how much you can transfer are only applicable to balances funded by cash lodgements, If you receive the USD via inflows directly into your account, there are no restrictions to how much you can move.
So you need to fund your dollar account via inflows before you can outflow without restrictions @duchynwa see response i received above Did you fund yours by cash or direct inflow/transfer? |

1)Yes, Your dom account can receive from US.
2)Once the student's dom account is funded... go ahead and initiate a GiC application from a participating Canadian financial institution then wire the money using the payment instruction provided by the Canadian bank. Thanks a lot. God bless you 1 Like |

Open a USD domiciliary account, buy dollar and fund the account ....then initiate a GIC process with a participating Canadian bank and wire your dollars to the bank from your dom account..there are charges for it Can you pls explain how this GIC funding works. 1. Can the funds of $20k be wired from the US into the students dom account? 2. Can the student wire the $20k received to dom account into the Canadian GIC account OR how does it work? |

Teshoma111: I have a friend, who didn't use hers at all as well (2years B1/B2). After her visa expired, she applied via dropbox, it was renewed and got the regular email that her passport was ready for pickup without being called for any interview.
It works both ways....You may or may not be called for an interview. A similar situation happened to my cousin and family. They were called for an interview and Visa granted. My own case was I chose to be interviewed rather than do the drop box as the recent trend was calling most people back for interview and i couldn't afford to waste much time back & forth with scheduling for a closer date....got the Visa again! 4 Likes |

Thanks for your response I believe I have a good reason for not using the visa at the said time ,I was pregnant and we decided not travel until I have the baby .That seems like a good enough reason? My uncle,his wife and 1st child were in the same shoes. They had 2yrs visa but didn't use it. Along the line, baby no 2 came and they all went to renew with the new baby. Vo asked why they didn't travel and my uncle mentioned he didn't intend his wife birthing with the B1/B2 visa as their intention was for a vacation. Their visas were renewed and baby also got d visa. You can try ur luck(ensure to take copies of ur visas like someone suggested). All d best 2 Likes |

Landmark445: Hello guys,
I have a friend in the US. An American citizen who can send me an invitation letter.
I am looking on visiting the US in August.
My questions are 1. Will the letter be sent to me or to the embassy 2. Is there any particular format to follow when writing an invitation letter and is there any authentication that needs to be done on it in the US before he sends it to me. 3. These days, do invitation letters still serve any purpose? Will it increase my chances of getting the VISA?
Thanks guys The invitation letter should be sent to you(N/B- The VO is not interested in it & wont even ask you for it) Your invitation letter is not adding to your chances of getting a visa In fact ,don't stress yourself bout the letter (dint even print out my own when i went) Focus more on your binding ties and travel history.

Hello everyone, Went for our(my brother & i) interview this morning and twas half successful I tried as much as possible to take note of every single detail while on the queue. From the queue to get our document checked outside, i noticed some VO's (about to resume their shift) alight from the ferry. There was a particular lady looking at all of us on the queue and shaking her head profusely as if to say "All of these people coming for interview today? Transcript below Me- Good morning (got no response) VO- Passport please (we handed over to him) VO- You guys a couple? Me- No we're siblings VO- Okay great but u'll both qualify at this interview based on your individual merits VO- Where in the US are you guys going to Me- Indiana VO- where do u work and how long? Me- I replied coy Bleep and for 2years VO- Pointing at my bro- Where do you work and how long Bro- coy Bleep and 2years VO- How long are you staying Bro- About 3weeks VO- You guys married? Me- Single Bro- Single VO- Any kids? Me- No Bro- Yes i have a 4yrs old daughter VO- She stays with her mum? Bro- Yes VO- Have you guys travelled before Me- Dubai & S.A Bro- Dubai VO- Can see you've had a visa & been to the US(talking to me) Me- Yes VO- So you qualify for a visa.....blablabla(hands over the white collection paper) VO- Turns to my brother and says sorry its not a good time. You can try again later. Sad for my bro as we had plans to rock this summer with our sister & family who're already looking forward to seeing us. He'll spend his vacation elsewhere & try to reapply sometime next year The blue paper kept flying everywhere. A family of 6 were denied(tears dropped on d wife's face). Even the oba of( dont know where) in his full regalia was denied. The cele couple(oh how i smiled when i sighted their grand entry in white) were also denied to mention but a few.

Babbie23:
Sorry I couldn't post yesterday, I was exhausted to the bone So here it goes : I must say I enjoyed the process so much though tiring from all the queuing. I'm in Ghana, 23 and a student. Straight DENIAL! This whole idea of visiting the US was from my parents. I won't lie I doubted I stood a chance after going through people's experiences but I had already done a lot and was only awaiting my interview day. I was positive all the same because my intentions were good. I thank God all the same . Interview day I woke up around 4 or 4:30am I don't remember because my mum woke me up while I was just trying to enjoy my sleep. So fast forward to 6am when I and parents reached the embassy. First timer, completely lost and confused. I asked a personnel what I had to do before my 7:30 appointment and he told me to hang around a tree where I saw lots of people standing and waiting. I went ahead and stood there for a while till some police officer asked those who had their interview to form a queue. I did go through the checks etc it was already past 7:30 and I was already waiting my turn to be interviewed. I wasn't paying attention to those being interviewed except one pastor who was approved a visa and one university lady who was denied and another guy who was also denied. So after the guy who was denied, I was asked to go to that VO. One chubby guy with beard and in his mid 30's . Honestly he was cool. VO: Hi good morning Me: good morning(cheerfully) how are you? VO: fine thank you (looking at his computer typing) May I have your passport please? Me: sure(smiles) I caughed lightly and said sorry and he said no problem (still typing) he wasn't looking too serious as I said he was cool VO: So why are you going to the US Me: I'd love to spend my long summer break sightseeing and exploring interesting places in the US and also I'll be visiting my uncle VO: typing what I said and even repeating what I said I was smiling (now I know they type our answers for future purposes) Where in the US are you going to? Me: Columbus ,Ohio VO: What do you do? Me: I'm a student of bla bla VO: What course do you offer? Me: I'm a 1st year student pursuing a 4-year degree programme in information technology but I'll be progressing to my 2nd year after the break VO: okay. He nodded still typing. Have you traveled before? Me: No sir. VO: okay. Are you married? Me: I'm very single with a grin VO: looks at me and smiles Okay do you have kids? Me: No sir (smiles) VO: okay. I'm sorry bla bla (y'all know the rest already lol) As he was handing me my passport and the 214b paper I asked wasn't being a student a strong enough tie to return (even though I knew the answer already lol still wanted to know all the same) Surprisingly he suggested another thing for me. Asking if I've heard of the J-1 visa for exchange program to which I nodded and said yes ,that I did plan on applying for that next year and he went ahead to say it'll be the best choice for me as a student and not only would I be able to visit some places in the US but I'll also be able to work (summer work and travel) So I said ok and thank you with a smile and elegantly left the premises to announce the outcome to my mum who was waiting anxiously for some good news. She felt bad but I assured her it's alright and the next time I'll go through with the J-1 visa successfully. So that's it. No docs checked as usual. This forum helped a lot. Kudos to the brains behind it and to those awaiting, all the best.
Your interview was interesting despite the denial. The VO seemed to be very friendly & also advised you on the way forward(getting a J-1 visa)....I'm suprised! All the best in your next step to trying again. Thanks 4 sharing. 3 Likes |
