    My sister has the nationality of Us, and she has been staying outside US since more than 10 years. I’ve answered the question of the immediate relative or siblings in US with “yes”. Is it considered as a wrong answer or not ? as she is staying outside US at the current moment.

    Good morning. How are you ? As a former officer, what do you think of someone who is in the process of family reunification and wins the American lottery? Given that family reunification takes quite a long time, if he continues with the lottery and goes to the embassy, the consular officer will give him the visa or refuse it to him under the pretext that he already has a procedure in progress before the lottery? THANKS !

    Hi @ArgoSocial/Christa. Thanks for your informative video. I am completing a DS-160 and am confused by the Family Information: Spouse section, specifically “Surnames” for my Spouse. In the single provided textbox, I would really appreciate if you could advise on the following: Do I provide Married Surname and any other Surname prior to marriage (inc. Surname changed by UK Deedpoll) in the same single textbox? Thanks for any advice you can provide.

    Thanks for your video ,in fact I have a question about my F1 visa case now it's my second attempt and for the first one, in my ds-160 form, I didn't fill it out well in my prior I've written I've started my school in 2014 and that was over in 2021 but it was a mistake ,I started my school in 2014 but I finished in 2020 and this time I need to fix it ,if I fix it the consular officer can decrease my opportunities to be granted a visa ??
    and also for the question my visa was refused and to give informations,I'm obliged to really write about that or I can only account for in the interview?
