    • @alexsist5571
      @alexsist5571 Год назад +3

      @@L.Coxhead I would say have it clear in your mind how you're going to answer why you're going there and why you overstayed, be over-prepared so there's no question that'll catch you off-guard and no paperwork they'll want to see you don't have. I think if you're prepared for anything then there's less that can go wrong and you'll be more confident. bring any supportive documents such as proof of flight cancellation emails and ties to your home country, a main one's work so a signed letter from your workplace would be good (even though they didn't ask to see a single one of mine lol) I would give answers that are to the point so you don't waste their time but you don't want to be too brief, that's why it's good to know in your head what you're going to say. I went to the embassy in London and there were a lot of people waiting, maybe over a hundred, so I can imagine they don't want to hear your life story as they have a lot of people to get through, make sure you have a good reason for visiting the US, but don't make out that you love it so much you won't come back! Make sure you have enough finances and you can briefly explain that. Also be polite and be positive. Speak when you're spoken to, don't just start rambling when they don't ask you anything, imo they will likely approve your B1/B2 Visa as they didn't seem too interested in why I overstayed, they just wanted to know why I wanted to go there, the lady I spoke with was nice and asked me about my work situation and when I plan to go etc. I was pretty nervous and probably came across that way but luckily the interview only lasted about 2 and a half minutes. Hope that helps! And good luck! 🤞🏼

    Thanks.for updates. I have interview for B1,b2 on 26 October in Riyadh. I am a doctor working in Saudi Arabia since last 3 years. But I am an Indian and this will be second renewal of my B1,B2 which was issued first time from India. I have visited USA 4 times in last 12 years.
    My brother is USA citizen to whom I visited all the time.
    I am concern about the application place is not my home country i.e India. I can't apply from India as it's difficult to manage appointment schedule in India during my 1 month holiday.
    I do have family back in India wife and two kids.
    What do I expect and how should I present all this positive information to consulate officer for second renewal visa?

    Hello I have a question regarding having a B1/B2 visa. Mine is both B1/B2 and last time I travelled for business and travel so both. This time I'm going only for travel this time. Is that ok since its' partly the same reason but not entirely the same? I assume it would be ok since this visa should cover both pruposes for travel.

    i respect the consul but i know he didn't tell all the truth, of course if he tells the truth the american gov't may file a lawsuit against him, the thing is before your the interview in US embassy they already review your application and they already investigated you, it is not true that the consul didn't know about the applicant and only rely on the DS160 that the applicant sent to them, because if that is true then many unwanted visitors may come to US, so i believe that US embassy already investigated all the applicant before their date of interview in embassy, and i believe that the interview is only for the appearance of the applicant, i believe that the consul already knew if the applicant is passed or denied before interview, that's the reason why some of the applicant asks only one question by the consul and others has 3 to 4 questions, because the consul already knew who's passed and denied applicants, that's what i think

    My B1/B2 Visa Interview is scheduled for the third week of December 2023 and I have plans to travel to the US in May 2024, for about 2 weeks. But the issue is, my Passport expires in August 2024, i.e two months after I have returned from my trip from the US. Should I be renewing my passport before the Visa interview or after my Visa Interview? Will this affect my chances of not getting the Visa approved? Please help me with this.

    Hi, my purpose of visiting the US is to see my boyfriend of 1.5 years, he already visited me twice here in the Philippines and he's coming back again on June this year. He wants me to visit him in the US next year to meet his parents who are lovely people, I met them thru video call. I'm working as the head secretary to the president of a company here in the Philippines for almost 12 years. I'm helping my father take care of my sick mother at home as I'm the only child, no sibling to assist them. I cannot be more honest and truthful enough about my reason to visit the US to see my BF and his family. Will I be approved for a visa in this case? Thank you for your insight.

    Hi guys - Wondering how much more likely it would be to get a B2 tourist visa for my Thai girlfriend (I am an American) if we got married in Thailand? We do not want to live in the U.S. We just want to visit my family, then back to Thailand. I will also be getting an Elite Visa in Thailand. Since this is a long-term visa showing I will be living in Thailand, will this help her to get the B2 tourist visa? She has family in Thailand, a good job and even owns a little land. Do you think her chance of getting the B2 tourist visa is good? And I've read the process could take only about 1 month. True? Thanks!
