I was denied a US visa last year despite having a travel history that entails Rwanda, Uganda and France, where i had gone, two months before my visa interview. Actually, i reapplied for a US visa two months after jetting into the country from France.
Unfortunately, travel history (while often helpful) isn't a guarantee that you'll qualify for a visa. The Visa Officer will look at as many details about your situation as possible when making their decision. Schedule a consultation with us at zfvisa.com before your next interview, and we'll help you prepare!
@iamochieng how long did you request to stay in the US? Are you employed with the same company for at least 5 years? Do you have family ties back home ?
@@edwingarcia9626 @edwingarcia9626 I told them that i will be there for only one week. Yes, i have worked for the company for 11 years. I am not a married person and my marital status should not be a hinderance because i cannot forge a marriage just to please the embassy.

Please help!!! Hi, I am a US Citizen, my wife was granted an IR1 Lawful Permanent Residency (LPR) and a Social Security number on 5/19/1997, and lived in the USA with me until 3/17/1999 and she had not returned to the USA since that date. Her Resident Alien Card expiry date is 06/10/2007. My QUESTION is; if her LPR status still active or not, and if I should file Form I-90 or Form I-130 all over again.

Hi Sir, I have traveled twice to U.S before and had many Schengen visas (England, Germany, Austria ..) but all that was 13 years ago. I still have the old passports to prove that. What are my chances of getting a visa now if I apply now?
Hi, can you please help to answer a question? I was in USA a couple years ago with J1 visa and I had social security number. Now that I’m applying for C1D visa should I put that SSN in my DS-160? Or not need?
If you have a social security number, you should include it where asked. Remember: the key to the visa application process is to be honest, and answer all questions truthfully!
I was denied visa two months ago and vo told me I can reapply any time again. When I reapplied I got an earliest slot in 2025 although on website the waiting day was 1 calendar day. Could you please advise what happened
This depends on the type of visa you’re seeking and where you intend to apply. Schedule a session with us at zfvisa.com, and we will help you evaluate your options and prepare for your interview.
Hi I just want to ask on ds160 asking the social media account. Would the VO officer will check all the social media accounts all my picture in my travel upload on my social media account it is matter for the VO.. forgive my English thank you

Yes! Be honest and forthcoming about previous travel. It can often help you qualify.

Does this mean that anyone who has never traveled before has no opportunity?
Not at all! Previous travel is just one way you might improve your chances. Many people spend their first trip abroad in the United States!
