Hello sir, im married to a us citizen two years ago, but i dont have the intention for the immigration. However, i wanna study in the usa and i got accepted in the j1 program for bachelor's. So my question is, would there be any red flag for me in the j1 visa interview that im married to the us citizen.

Hi,

After my embassy appointment, I received a pink 221(g) letter and am currently in Administrative Processing. They sent me an email containing multiple questions, one of which was, “When did you begin and end your military service?”

Unfortunately, I made an error while filling out my DS-160 form, where I mistakenly entered my military end date as January 19, 2018, instead of the correct date of April 19, 2018. Should I mention this DS-160 error in my reply email to the embassy, or should I only provide the documents and the correct date?

Thank you so much for your invaluable, informative, and helpful videos.

Hello there! Warm greetings. I got a question.
I'm student and I like solo traveling. I want to apply b1b2 visa and my dad is going to sponsor my travel but he won't apply his visa only I will. What are the chances to get the visa? I am going to apply from 2nd country I mean like I live in other country not from my home country. What are the documents required if a student apply b1b2 visa?

[soniasequeira]

what are the chances of approvel of j1 visa in the second interview

[doritazadeh]

Oh please I have this question and I don’t know what to do. I filled out a ds-160 and made mistakes. A little backstory: i’m applying for a B1/B2 to see my daughter who’s going to study in Stanford in September. Firstly for relatives I mentioned I have no relatives because I’m filling the information right now and completely missed it that right now she’s not in the States now but by the time I have my interview she’ll be there. Second for point of contact I chose the school official since I don’t know anyone but then again forgot by that times my daughter will be there. I completely missed this and now there are discrepancies. I canceled my appointment and want to fill out a new one when she arrives there in September. Are they going to access the old one? Will this cause them to deny me? Please I’m so so nervous and I have no idea what to do

Thanks for making the video of the J1 program

Hi there!!

[rayaparthinithin]

Sir my US J1 visa got denied under 214b in delhi india in the month of May and again I'm thinking to book an appointment next month in September in same consulate
Could you please give me some information regarding this

[scopgee]

I have made a mistake on my departure from the USA 🇺🇸 instead of saying 2028 I made it 2025 how can I go back and change it from the DS 160 because on my i20 it’s 2028 and can that be a big problem for me?

Hi, Rob. Is this process specifically the interview (the way we answer to the VO) part also applicable here in the Philippine US embassy ?
