Hi my name is Suzette from Kenya. I 'm a new subscriber. I have an interview appointment in one month. I have a question: I was invited to my aunts graduation which is this month and I was given a far date in March. Can I say, I couldn’t get an earlier date but since I already have a ticket and made plans to tour US after the graduation, I still wanna come. Is it the best way to convince a visa officer?

My Visa Appointment Story (January 13th, 2025) Consulate: Karachi, Pakistan Visa Type: B2 I had mentioned in my visa application that I would be traveling with my mother, who already holds a US visitor visa. I had a printed copy of her visa sticker at the top of my documents, which I held in a way that made it easily visible to the visa officer. The visa officer greeted me in a serious tone, but was not rude. I responded with a smile. He asked for my passport and reviewed my visa application. Visa Officer: Is that your mother's visa sticker scanned printout that you're holding? Me: Yes. Visa Officer: Why do you want to travel to the US? Me: I want to visit my sister, brother in law, and my nephew, who is due in April. Since he's the first baby in our family, we're really excited to meet him and spend quality time with our family. Visa Officer: When will you be traveling? Me: June. Visa Officer: For how many days? Me: Three weeks. Visa Officer: What do you do professionally? Me: I've been working in the xxx industry for the past xxx years, and my role is xxx. Visa Officer: I think we'll stamp your visa (still in a serious tone). He kept my passport and handed me the blue slip. Me: Thank you! I took the blue slip and left. My takeaways from this experience are: - Dress well - Have a smile on your face - Be confident - Be honest - Try to have a conversation, rather than just giving one word answers - Look into their eyes while answering questions In my opinion, travel history is important to some extent. My travel history: Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia The Visa Officer did not look at any of my documents. They rarely do but I suggest carry them anyway. P.S. I was refused a US B2 visa in 2017 when I wanted to visit my cousin brother for his wedding. Hope this helps. Good Luck!
