    Hi Ben,
    I had an American friend that was inviting me to visit her and her family as we got acquainted and became really good friends. And she had written me an invitation letter as well.
    I was refused this past Tuesday 16th may 2023 under article 214(B) because I applied from a foreign country. In addition to that I sounded quite nervous.
    What do you think I should do to get approved the next time I apply? Any advice please?

    Hi Ben I wish I had found u before,
    My case is so complicated, I got B1 visa approved n traveled to USA to visit my sister, after seeing her confident n full of knowledge in her master’s degree I wished to apply for my masters degree in USA. Then I got my i20 from one college so I applied for change of status from B1 to F1. And waited for USCIS decision, mean while I kept calling on uscis phone numbers which I got on the uscis website and kept tracking regularly regarding my case n when will I get the decision and what’s my status can I stay in usa or should I leave and all the time the answer I got was stay in the country till u get the final decision on your case, and I stayed for 20 month n finally I got the decision denied so as soon as I got denied I returned to my home country. And then I started applying for masters from my home country n four times I got rejected. The officer won’t listen to anything just ask me why I over stayed and denie my visa. One officer gave me revoke on my B1 visa now my husband is in USA n I applied fir my F2 visa and still got denied … m going crazy as what to do …. How do I correct this .. I have a baby too 3 months old n m not able to crack the interview plz help me out …

    Does filling out multiple DS 160 affect your interview ?

  • @adigunopeyemivictoria.8910

    Hello Ben,
    I'm an F2 Visa applicant. Previously, I have been denied Visa. However, I have applied for another one(F2). In my previous interview, VO asked of what I do as job and I said I'm a fashion designer, although I wrote "learning fashion designing " in my DS-160.
    I sense this might be one of the red flags.
    Please, guide me on a better way to package my job?
    Secondly, I indicated I'll be staying for 6 months whereas my I-20 reads 2021-2026. This, I guess, could be another red flag. Please guide/advise me on how to go about those grey areas in my next interview. Thanks.

    I also applied from a foreign country Malaysia KL, and I had to demonstrate some ties back also I am a rich businessman here in Malaysia, I did my best but my Malaysian Visa for bachelor expires in November 2022.

    Quick question: I was recently in the US on a J-1 visa as an international exchange student or secondary student. And I eventually came back at the end of the program year, in fact I had to wait to apply for the spring semester instead of the fall, since I had to take all the test and exams that are missed during my exchange year. Now, I've already being accepted into the US college and am now just preparing for the interview. Do the 2 yr. rule of the J-1 visa does apply to me?
    Also, I kind of already know the answer to this question because of my colleague that I personally know from my country was also the same situation as I'm now and was granted his f-1 visa. (But I'm still in doubt)...

    If you misplaced your passport after your appointment and make a different passport and take it to the interview will it be valid.
