My cousin lives in the US but I barely contact with him, I do not have any idea how he came to the US. Should I mention him?
I just need help with a visa question.. i don't want to pay 350usd just for that.
Tell me if there are postdoc opportunities in usa, any good university in usa that offers postdoc and job as well in relevant field
Does travel history matter
Hi!
I have my uncle who's in the usa with a PR and I'm going to the university which is very far from his place of residence
So will this have any effect on my interview if i mention my uncle and yes I'm in contact with him and I've been to the usa 4 years ago with a B1/B2 VISA
Savya, you have nothing to worry about! The fact that you have been to the US previously and returned back without any visa overstays - this will give you a tremendous advantage. I see no issues with mentioning your uncle. Good luck with the interview!
Hey.! 2 of My brother are on h1b visa status.. and i have been to US twice.. once for 4 months and again for 5 and half months.. now i am back to my home country and trying for an f1 visa.. so does my visit to Usa and by brothers on h1b effect my visa acceptance?
@sarawaheed6985, The fact you have been to the U.S twice and have gone back home is an excellent proof that you won't stay back in the U.S without proper status, and you are likely not an 'intending immigrant'. However both of your visits are quite long, which means the visa officer will presume that you likely stayed with family/sibling. This will likely be viewed against you. Because this indicates that you have the familial support to stay back in the U.S. after graduation. To avoid any misunderstanding by the visa officer, consider selecting a university far away from your sibling, different state.
How about blood relative(bother and his own family) on work visa in the same state as my university? I didn't choose to be in same state. That's the only admit i got..😅
With a relative this close we have no choice but to disclose. Now the visa officer will likely infer that because your brother is now based in the US, albeit on a work visa, you will follow suit the same path. Or worse, you have someone that will support you to overstay your visa, which is a red flag. Don't give them this impression. Instead, turn the situation with your brother into an advantage - show that you have every intention of coming back home because he has chosen to stay in the U.S. For example - because your brother is in the US, this means that you HAVE to come back to home country to care for your parents, or run the family business, or something else? Do you see - you have turned the fact that your close relative is in the U.S. into a plus point for your case!
@@AmericanColleges thanks.
The reason my parents allowed me to study abroad and preferred the state my brother is in.. is only because of their concerns for my safety. Hoping i would be reachable if something unexpected happens.. And seems like that has become an obstacle now.
@@venn6099 if you are successful in covincing the visa officer using the above mentioned argument and secure the visa, once you are in usa, you can live with your brother without a problem
I have a sister in USA completed her masters and in opt status so what should I say
I would absolutely disclose this. More than likely the embassy would have this information. Now you just need to convince the visa officer that you have strong ties to home country and will be coming back home
My own sister is in USA with Green card, but I have no any information about her, she is not in my contact,
What should I reply to USA consulate during interview for B1 /B2??
PLEASE REPLY ME..
You should say " my sister is in USA!"
first thing u have to say YES and then say, I DONT NO WHERE IS MY SISTER..... and get denial immediately
Did I make the biggest mistake of life by answering yes to a relative that I just heard of cuz I didn't want to lie? 😳😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
I did this mistake too 😞 when is your interview btw??

@@ikramlazaar6849 How was your interview?

@@ikramlazaar6849 update?
My husband is in the US with H1B visa ? Should I mention it ?
You must. The DS-160 clearly states that immediate relatives include fiancé(e), husband/wife, child(son/daughter) sibling(brother/sister). You will see the list of immediate relatives when answering the question.
Ed is correct, please mention it
did you mention it? how was your visa interview? could you update please
