    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!

    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.

      It's sometimes difficult to explain why you're going to obtain a second degree at the same level. You may want to check out our online F-1 visa courses at www.zfvisaguides.com, where we explain how to explain your unique circumstances to your Visa Officer to improve your chance of success.
