Done with my B1/B2 Visa application today but sadly, my application was denied. I always watch your videos hoping it would help me. I almost cried for the result 😢 I answered it perfectly and confidently I am happy that the Immigration Consul is very jolly and positive during interview but suddenly after 5 to 6 questions, she says that “sorry but unfortunately you are not qualified to get a visa. Thank you for your visit” I just want to visit and have a vacation in US but suddenly my dream to visit US is all gone. I won’t reapply for tourist visa anymore it is so traumatic to be rejected even you are telling all the truth. Immigration Consul should give a checklist that indicates in what part did I fail. Maybe 10% is have their visa ang 90% got denied. US embassy to the Philippines is very tight.

can immigration attorneys or lawyers really help you get through the process along with the interview?.

How does a travel agency can book an earlier date (Like 2 weeks from now) compared to the actual website that says that the next available interview is over a year from now? -I'm from Canada by the way.

The problem that we are having is that there is no bank account name, , where to send the money. What is the name on the bank account when sending the payments through the bank? Or, , , What do you do if there is no name on the bank account, , shown on the website, , where or who to send the money to? The only thing they give on the website, , is the name of the bank to transfer the money to. Is that good enough? Or do we need an individuals name at the bank to transfer the money?

I've paid the MRV fee you spoke about and submitted a copy of my I-20 for approval (the part before scheduling an appointment), but they seem not to be reponding. It's been showing on my account "pre-approval processing" for four days now. What could the problem be?

Continuously, it showed no appointments or errors, whereas my friend going for the first attempt could easily get their appointment dates. can you please say why could i not get it?

[ZaraSinclair-uz]

Hi how do you reschedule an appointment? We sent our helper for tourist visa but they said to reschedule appointment. They didn’t give her any interpreter so she didn’t understand the lady who was interviewing her and the lady who was interviewing also didn’t understand her 🤦🏻‍♀️ our helper came with a form which said her application was incomplete so we need to reschedule her appointment but there is no option to reschedule. We contacted the Singapore embassy but they don’t know anything 🤦🏻‍♀️ not sure how American embassy in Singapore is hiring uneducated staff. Very disappointing.

[firozahmad]

on the US visa scheduling website I created my account and filled out the application, paid the fees for myself and all my dependants. However during the initial qualification questions for interview waiver I by mistake said 'Yes' to If my previous US visa expired within 48 months. It told me that I qualify for Interview Waiver. However my US visa actually expired more than 48 months ago. How can I go about fixing this?
Even if I do an entirely new DS160 form and pay again how can I reschedule visa interview? Because my account doesn't give me any option to start a new scheduling application.

[JamesHilario]

Hello sir. Hope you are well. I have a question." My university initially provided me with an I-20 and an offer letter for the Fall semester, and I filled out my DS-160 based on this I-20. After deferring my admission from Fall to Spring, the university sent me a new offer letter and informed me that they will provide the updated I-20 within 4 to 6 weeks. When the visa officer takes my documents, should I tell him about this or not? "
