Please can u book appointment before completing and summiting ur ds 16O??

Consular Officers use the information entered on the DS-160 to process the visa application and, combined with a personal interview, determine an applicant’s eligibility for a nonimmigrant visa.

So there is the answer.

Please am an ardent follower of this thread and have been reading how you advise against using of agent. But I want to ask if you make payment for visa fee and you created a profile,booked an appointment but didn't later show up for the appointment and failed to cancel it. What's the implication?? Please I need urgent answers

As far as my research,

1.You will need to wait until the appointment date has ed to reschedule a new one.
2.You will need the original Appointment Letter which includes your case number.

Fool Agent...

I requested Kenya only to be stamped but the guy stamped other countries like Ghana Togo Benin same day arrival same day exit for the three countries ....loool

You are still talking?

Who told you that having only Kenya stamped is a good enough gesture?

So you feel having your port stamped with a country's visa that you didn't apply for is a good thing?

Look let me tell you, even if it's only the Kenya that was stamped on you port, the gravity of the outcome is the same as when you have Ghana Togo, etc stamps together.

I will tell you a story. I once met a USA immigrant applicant who had been invited for USA immi interview. As at the time to his interview, he had a fake Tanzania visa on his port, immediately I detected this, I advise him not to attend the interview with that port, rather he sud declare the port damaged. and go get a new port, then explain at the embassy the new port number. He had very short time but he quickly got a new one done. Thank God he listened to my advise as he got his visa. Supposed he attended the interview with the port with d fake visa, not only will he be banned, he might never visit the USA and some other A rated countries.

So my brother, your case is even more complicated becos you have already 10printed at the usa embassy with a port with fake visa(s) (it doesn't matter how many countries visas the consequences is d same) so no escape even if you do another port.

Maybe you may not be banned if you come out clean during the interview concerning your fake visa but the.chances of you getting the visa is very slim; you may be pardon but chances are you will definitely be refused except you explain/convince to the VO beyond reasonable doubt.

A word is enuf for the wise! Listen to the words if the elders.

DaddyB01:



Please, explain to me more on my own experience...
I traveled to Ghana without my port and filled it in my profile that i have been to Accra Ghana but my port wasn't stamped. Is it a "misrepresentation" also

Yea. Even though Ghana is visa free for port holders like you, you are still required to travel with some form of travel documents eg, eport, ecowas port etc.

So if you are yet to attend you interview, you better fill another form and state no for travel history then update your new ds160 ID with your interview ID.

To before warned is to before..... pa ri e

salsera:


Yeah you can travel without port to Ecowas countries by road.

Misrepresentation is when you get visa or entry stamps for countries you have never visited. Such stamps are fraudulent and attract a ban if presented.

To add to seyewest comment.
DON'T GET VISA/ENTRY STAMPS JUST TO CLAIM YOU HAVE TRAVELLED TO PLACES YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN

Visa application forms require you to sign that ALL information presented by you is TRUE. When you get an 'agent' to fill forms or package on your behalf it does not ABSOLVE you of any consequence because it's YOUR NAME on the form not anybody else's. Agent loses nothing.

Just to buttress/explain on the bolded, getting a VISA(s) to a country you didn't travel to is not misinterpretation as long as you rightfully obtained these Visa and you didn't claim to have been to these countries.

But where these visas/stamps were fraudulently obtained and yet claimed to have travelled to this places is misinterpretation.

I have had several A rated Countries visas that I didn't travel too yet have renewed my USA visas after words.

he should go and declare his port missing and get another one , don't believe any agent in your life again .

You don't need it to obtain usa visa.

But off course, you can choose you do one once you have your visa and intends travelling just to cover for unforseen circumstances or situations

None!

You only generated revenue for then and reduced work for them that day that's all

petemail2all:

Even at that, he cannot escape the consequences as he has already been 10printed regardless of the number of times he gets another port.

Wrong!

oluwadunxy:
Thank you sir, but in what case will you get a message that the visa fee has been used already

When you have used the payment receipt number to book appointment already

Please how do I know my visa fee payment is still valid even after I didn't show up for interview

But in a case that you didn't show up for the interview, how come you still get message that it's been used when trying to book another appointment

oluwadunxy:
Thank you sir, but in what case will you get a message that the visa fee has been used already

Your MRV fee receipt has one year validity on it. If you haven't done any rescheduling with the fee before your unattended appointment, you haven't lost your 64k, and no consequence yet too. You can go ahead and reschedule appointment once it's 48hrs gone past the missed appointment. If you encounter challenges doing this, call up their customer care unit to unlock the receipt for you.

Fill another DS160 form, and upgrade your profile with the new.

oluwadunxy:
But in a case that you didn't show up for the interview, how come you still get message that it's been used when trying to book another appointment

It's either you haven't waited for the stipulated time to or you still need to call them to unlock and reactivate it for you....

oluwadunxy:
Please how do I know my visa fee payment is still valid even after I didn't show up for interview

When you have NOT used the payment receipt number to book appointment already

oluwadunxy:
Please how do I know my visa fee payment is still valid even after I didn't show up for interview

How do you still expect it to still be valid when you have already used the receipt number for that payment to book an appointment?
