Do I qualify?
I am 24 from Ghana Africa. I haven't submitted my application yet. I want to apply for tourist visa, I am engaged to be married later in the year maybe after my visit, I don't have a good paying job but I can sponsor myself on this trip. What are my chances of being accepted if I apply and go for the interview?

Need your opinion on my case.
I am a 24-year-old, software engineer, working in Bangalore for a product based US firm. I have applied for a B1/B2 visa to visit my uncle in the US and have mine interview scheduled next month in Mumbai. My uncle is a citizen there, living for the past 25 years and will be sponsoring me the trip. In the past, my mom, grandparents have all applied for B2 visa at all different times under his sponsorship and have always been approved. I do not have any travel history and this shall be my first trip overseas.
What are my likely chances of getting it approved?

Chances of approval?
hi guys. first time posting here,
- I'm a 35 years old, female , unmarried
- I work in a quite successful family business of restraunts and currently giving my time to a startup as well
- I'll be travelling with my dad and mom (owner of the business) sister and her son
- Mom and sister have a valid visa
- I have had 3 US visas before, 2 b1/b2 and latest one was a j1. I returned last year , never overstayed my visa
- father has had 2 tourist visas before

What do you guys think of our chances of approval?

Do I also need to print my bank statement if my dad is the sponsor?

Thank you!

Sponsorship related question
My husband had applied for B1 Visa an year ago and was denied.
This time 3 of us (my mother in law, him and me) are applying for B2 visa. His sister and her husband lives there and we want to visit them.

Even though my husband and I hold good jobs, his brother in law is sponsoring our trip.
My mother in law is retired and gets a small standard pension.

Our interview is in 2 weeks.

What is the probable question the interviewer might answer and how do we answer? Any help is appreciated.

Reapply for B2
Hello,

My sister in law applied for her first visa when she was about 28, fresh in a job, not married and was denied. My husband, her brother, was not a citizen at the time either. She applied again about 5 years later (3 years ago) when she first got married and my husband became a citizen, however, she was denied again even when her husband was staying behind. We would like to apply for her again now, she has an 8-month-old daughter. We would like for her and the baby to come for just a visit. I don't know what to put on her application to make her seem she will go back soon. Her husband is not applying this time either and she will be traveling with her mother who already has a b2 visa.

B1/B2 visa approved
Hello,
Late 20s female here from VWP country, who had previously overstayed 1 day by mistake on ESTA 3 years ago. Stupid, stupid I know!! Reading this forum was very helpful, so I wanted to share my experience.

My interview was early in the morning, i arrive 15 mins early and the embassy is packed out. Went through security clearance, checked in where I had my fingerprints scanned. Then I lined up in a queue leading to two open booths. You can literally hear everyone's interviews before you, which was quite terrifying!!! One officer seemed very casual- smiled lots, stamped approvals more often than not. On the other hand, the other officer was bit more stern, asking lots of detailed questions and turned people down a LOT. I felt bad for the guy before me who had IT conference coming up, with his ticket booked, proof of income and everything.. The CO continued to ask questions abt his salary, while flicking through his resume. I was praying to the Lord like, please please don't let him interview me!! But then guess what... Next came my turn! And he called out to me!!! What happened next is as follows:

Me: *Nervously approaching* mornin'!
VO: Good morning. Let's see your passport
Me: *hands it over*
VO: So why do you want to visit USA?
Me: well, for tourism and leisure.
VO: *typing* What do you do for living?
Me: I have a small business where I resell vintage clothes and I also work as a freelancer for abc industry.
(Ok I was so nervous I mumbled and talked really fast here- he suddenly like, laughed and asked me to repeat myself again, which I did lol.)
VO: Ok. How long have you been at your current job for?
Me: I am a freelancer and I've been at my current job for last 2 months. I have good contacts in my industry tho, where I'm able to pick up work on constant basis and travel in between jobs.
VO: Ok. Your application says that you stayed 91 days last time. Can you tell me more about that?
Me: Yes! Last time I was there, i wanted to get the most out of my travels and pushed my dates to what I thought was the allowable limit. I am really, really sorry. This was an extremely stupid thing to do. This won't happen again. I know travelling to USA is a privilege and by submitting a b1/b2 app, I really wanted to make things right.
VO: Yeah. *types* Cool.
And how long will you be travelling?
Me: well, probably 4-5 weeks-
VO: *types*
Ok your visa is approved and will be mailed to you in the next few days.
Me: OMG thank youuu!

So... there it is! I was so nervous my hands were dripping with sweat as I waited in line. I am so so so happy now though. I mean, I had all the red flags- single 20s female traveller, past overstay, also history of work visa in USA, unstable work, not that big a income. But I feel like being honest and ernstly expressing that you are genuinely sorry helped... Oh and waiting as long as I could, before attempting to travel to USA. The officer didn't look at any of my documents, which I thought was weird as he was going through them for some of the interviews before me. Anyways I just wanted to share my experience for some of yall that may be in a similar situation to me. I hope this is helpful! Happy to answer questions.

B2 Visa
My daughter who has been rejected B2 VISA thrice, I failed to understand the reasons although she had shown enough ties for her home county as she is practicing when applied for third time. First two time when she as a last year student. Third time we had a senator letter also. Is it that us she is not married so a potential migrant ? or other than her all of us ( parents and daughter has US visa ) is this the reason ? I failed to understand what should be done as we have no intention of migration. Should I approach the consulate general for review ??
