Hi Mandy, Thank you so much for your videos. I’m a medical student outside the US and I applied for an elective rotation in the US but my Visa got denied earlier this year after requesting an expedited date which got approved so I rescheduled my rotation date and reapplied for Visa after few months. However my interview date is way after the rotation start date. I applied for an expedited visa request with detailed documents to back up my claim but got denied. Can I reapply for the expedited visa to try again maybe I will get lucky?
I have made full payments for the rotation and I really don’t want to loose it.

They will believe you unless they are paying special attention to your case and then they might investigate.

I'm a Visual Artist from Philippines and recive an artist residency started this Agust 1 2023 in folorida USA , I already booked an US Visa interview but the earliest schedule I aquire at the moment was October 24 2023, Do I have a chance to approve to an expedite Visa Schedule, I'm worried that i can't have a visa which 2 months away before the residency, any advice or suggestions so I can get a Visa before the Agust 1 2023, your response is a big help.
Good day Mam, does appointment interview really takes long long months before they send an email to us the applicant? Were working on spousal visa and were in nvc stage waiting for appointment we did submit our I-864 last January 29, 2024 .Does the immigration as the preparer will receive an email once they will send an email to the applicant? Another thing is thay my husband did check online a public inquiry? And he inputted the name of the immigration lawyer but then it replies not on record /N.A?, confusing? Is these online system generated reliable?
Hello Mandy please i would like to know if i am qualified for a B1B2 visa due to my current job. I have worked as a nanny for a particular family for 8years now and i love working with them, cause my employer and her husband are great people even the kids. But i got an invitation letter for a discipleship training in south Dakota and i will be coming back because i love my current job. Will i be denied a visa for that? Please i would like to know
My parents are us citizens. Staying with my brother. My brother is traveling with family. My dad work as night audit. My mom is afraid to stay alone, can i spend 10 days with my mom unless they are back.
Nice video, and info 👍 I have a question though, why is it that USA doesn’t offer a “family visa”? Like, even China has options like this. Just seems like applying for a tourist visa to visit family is counterintuitive. Wondering if you have any insight into this?
I honestly am not sure.
Thank you Mandy! I've built great confidence in your guidances.
I had submitted my DS-160 application as an individual going on holidays last year and was given an appointment date for November, 2023. However, my children (girls aged 15 and 13) recently got an invitation for a World Youth conference in my church for summer 2024 in the US.
Can I change my same individual application to a family application on this same DS-160 and pay for and include my wife and my last kid to make of 5 of us on that file?
BTW, we had always travelled international trips together.. We even gave birth to our last kid in the UK in 2014.
Or you can have them apply after you.

How can book a third country National appointment ?
Ask you ma Need now ❤
Hello Mandy Thank you for this info
I can’t also get an appointment for my france visitor visa I’m planning to apply for a third country
Should the ds160 form be filled in the third country too ??I will be glad if you help thank you
You should be able to use your existing DS-160 even if you plan to apply in a different country. Just be sure to use the Applicant ID from the DS-160, and the Embassy/Consulate should be able to pull up your details from the form.
I am new to your channel Ms Mandy! I am working currently in Taiwan! My Question is if i apply a visit visa to USA what would be the requirements?

Hey! Thanks very much for all of your helpful videos. I was in the US since Aug 2022 but when I was coming back to India after almost a year to see my parents, my passport was lost and then stolen in Chicago. There are barely any videos about getting a new or replaced one. Also, is there any quick process so that I can fly? Also, I am appointed as an RA of my university dorm and I do not want to miss this golden opportunity. Please help! :)
You will need to contact the Indian embassy or consulate.
My first time to apply USA because I see appointment time wait
hello mandy, my class is on 14 August as I have assistantship. My initial date is mid-November.
In my country, ER is already running with September. As this moment,what can be wiser decision as I'm worried for my PhD journey.
You may have to apply outside of your home country - find a place with earlier appointments.
Please, is only married couples eligible to obtain a visa? Because i single !!
Hey Mandy, I just want to know if you speak Mandarin Chinese？ because my English is not good enough. I just started wanting to apply for a US visa, should I book a session before I submit my DS160 form or wait until the visa interview is successfully scheduled. thanks
Yes, I speak Mandarin Chinese. You should book a session after you complete your DS-160 but before you submit it so you can send it for me to review. I'm booked out until next week so please book soon to save a spot on my calendar: www.zfvisa.com.
Hello Mandy, I received a Notice of Approval for a K1 visa for my fiancee in Colombia with valid dates between 5/17 - 9/16/2023. She contacted the Colombian embassy on August 1, 2023 and was told to complete the DS-160. She got a confirmation page when she finished. Today is August 31st, 2023 and she has had no notice of instructions through email or physical mail from the US Embassy in Bogota, Colombia. It has been 4 weeks of waiting and we don't know if this is normal waiting. We are getting concerned about the validity dates of the I-797 NOA. If she does not hear anything by September 16, 2023, does that mean that she is disqualified in applying for a visa interview and will not get further instructions? Thank you Mandy.
This is me right now. I am waiting on available interview date
Hi Mandy, what would you do if your appointment falls on a holiday?
Check with the Embassy or Consulate where you plan to apply to ensure that your appointment will remain as scheduled. Embassies and Consulates operate on US calendars, so they may sometimes be open during local holidays, and they may sometimes open additional interviews on other days to address lengthening wait times.
Went to work tourism visa my could architect disgne business development I need to travel go everywhere and is my determined need Canada etc I am about the visa

Take a look at the visa wait times on the Department of State’s website: travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas.html
How to apply the visa to US
Hi Mandy, I have a question
I will be going to the US for a fully funded PhD program. My immediate relatives are at my home country but one aunt of mine is in US. I don't have much contact with this aunt. Will this situation cause a problem in my visa interview?
It shouldn't.
Thanks mandy for the video ,the US embassy in Sudan have been closed while they have my passport and my visa was on approved status, do they send passports to neighbouring countries in case the person requests that. Any advice will be highly appreciated
It is unknown because of the situation. You will need to wait until they get in touch. I have a feeling visa processing is the least of their concerns right now in Sudan.
@@ZFvisa
Thanks mandy.
I already paid for my US visa and have my DS 160, but now that I'm in Canada, my appointment schedule is just too full. It appears that the earliest appointment that is available is in 2026. I'm returning home to the Philippines in 2025, can I utilize my DS160 and visa fee there to continue with my appointment schedule?
While you can likely use your same DS-160, you'll need to pay a new interview fee when you schedule an interview at home. Remember, you may try to request an earlier interview slot before you leave Canada!
Hello ma

If someone has already been approved F1 visa, but his classes will start after 4-5 months. Can he apply for B1 visa if he is looking to explore the USA before getting busy with classes?
Yes.
Do I have a second chance to apply again if my emergency appointment was denied?
You can try, but I would not expect to be successful if you have already been denied once
Greetings Mandy
My school start date is Oct 21st and the earliest appointment date is Aug 14th, is it ok? Or approval chances are low?
Yes that's enough time.
Do we have to say that we are planning to come back to our country after finishing our high school studies during our f1 visa interview for high school
It's better that you demonstrate that without having to say that.
Hi miss again am from Ethiopia I prepare for f1 Visa interview for last August already finished all steps but only Visa interview Left Miss

How many times can one reschedule an appointment to an earlier date?
if you're asking about seeking an expedited interview appointment, usually only once per application.
hey Mandy! I win the DV lottery 2024, But I made a mistake on my spelling on my surname (one word error) is that makes it hard to get approved in the DV lottery Visa interview ?
You will need to tell the consulate at the time of your interview.

Hi Mandy, so great for doing this video's on RUclips.
I completed my undergraduate degree in July 2022 and after that started preparing for the USA like applying Universities and I'm going to attend my f1 visa interview in June. There is no experience in this gap but started applying Universities and simultaneously completed certified courses on programming languages.
Will it be a rejection for my profile at the interview?
No, it shouldn't be a negative factor.
How many days before we can apply for an expedited visa appointment ?
You can generally request an expedited appointment as soon as you schedule and pay for your interview. Check with the website of the embassy or consulate where you plan to apply for specific instructions.
Thank you for the information. Will my name pose a problem on me getting the visa? Can the visa officer deny the visa based on my name?
No.
hello, i have been rejected twice in visa interview and i can't seem to know the reason behind it. The second time my scholarship came late, I plan to go to the same university with updated i20 for f1 visa. will this be a significant change for me for my thrid interview or should I go with the different university again.
Don't change your university. Just prepare for the visa interview with an expert. You can book with me at www.zfvisa.com.
Hi Mandy,what can someone do if I can't get an appointment,if the date almost due to submit my petition for k1 visa?

Hi Mandy, I am unsure what to put in the ds160 question Are you a permanent resident of a country/region other than your country/regon of origin (nationality)?
I am Philippine origin and expatriate working in dubai with valid residence visa ID only with validity date and is renewable depending on the employment status if the employer or employee will renew the contract. UAE is not issuing a permanent residence to expat. Can I say No in this question? I answered NO when i was denied in 2018, but a friend told me she applied US visa in abu dhabi she put the residence visa ID on this field and got her visa approved. I am not sure what to answer please can you advise as i dont want to have mistake in ds160. thank you so much for answering questions here ❤
Yes you can say no.
Hi there. I am Javaid from Karachi. Pakistan. I was with American Express for 17years and was in u.s. visa services as a supervisor over there. I used to go to the consulate on interview days as a section incharge Greeter services. Here in Pakistan we are not allowed to get interview dates from Third country. Why it is so that you are telling we can apply in the 3rd country. Hope you won't mind asking this question to you
You can apply in a third country if you have good reason for it. This is true for all visa applicants, including in Pakistan.
Mandy you are just beautiful ❤
Thank you!

Hi Mandy, I’m Chinese and working in Thailand as a volunteer at nonprofit organization. Last year I had a student visa refusal. Do you think is it better that I go back to China to have the student visa interview again? Thanks!
Might be a good idea. They prefer people to apply in their home countries in case there are complications.
Thank you for reply! I’m thinking of to book a one on one session with you and I sent the email on your website. Could you have a look first?
