Thank you very much for your effort and the lots of information you provided, God bless you Simon

There seems to be quite high numbers in the refused column! Any insight on these? Lack of funds, public charge? Lying on forms.

Hi, dv23 winner and visa received for my wife and I. On the additional sheet provided together with the envelope to present the arrival immigration and customs office, it list documents to provide to the customs officers. These documents are almost the same we provided at the consulate during our interview. Unfortunately, we didn’t do photocopies of police Certs and we also weren’t given back the original. Do we need to request for new ones and travel along with or not providing them won’t cause a fuss

[Siv]

Thank you for your insightful videos Simon. I have an OC Dv2024 case but my interview location is Tokyo since I reside here in Japan. How is Tokyo in terms of embassy performance?

[daria]

Hi Simon, I was wondering if I visit the US this year should I unlock my DS-260? There was a question where I had to list 5 last times that I was in the US, I am wondering if this would be important to include the new visits in my DS-260 after it was already submitted. I am thinking of just going there for a few days to visit friends

[alandka]

Hello mr Simon what is the highest case number you expect for AS to go current

[uksetsx]

Hello Sir, if you could please answer me this quick question. based on the AS region, my number is AS21193, I've lived in the US for 11 years and i'm hoping for some good news this September, do you think its likely ? I'm not sure why i cant read the charts or confirm my math.

[Yasz]

Hello sir, I'm a dv 2024 winner and my case number is in AF50k. Do you think Nairobi embassy could interview high case numbers or it's better to change interview location. What's your take on Nairobi and Abudhabi embassies at dv visa interview performance..?
