Good day! Thank you for doing this video and gives us idea on what to do and not to do during our visa interview. I got denied with my visa application for b1 b2 last December under section 214b, after 5-6 questions, the visa consular said that I'm not qualified for this visa and handed me a paper, I had with me all the supporting documents but she didn't ask for anything, and I left that window speechless and sad. Now i applied again but this time my itinerary will be different because im leaving the country where I'm applying from. I will be coming to Canada on March 10 and I planned to visit US on April 1 to 16. My interview will be on February 28, is there any problem you can see from my itinerary?

Honestly it depends on the country you are applying from. When I lived in Jamaica went on work and travel 3 times came back on time finished university and got a full time job and I was denied 3-4 times. I moved to Canada and applied and got through on 1st attempt. In Canada I noticed the officers ask enough question and give a fair chance as oppose to Jamaica one dumb question and then denied.

Great advice!!!....The ironic thing about these types of interviews is that when the person who is applying for a visa speaks the truth, they often times don't get the visa, and the ones who boldly lie are often the ones who get the visas, and those are the one who definitely over stay in the USA and never return to their homeland.

Kind of messed up that they want you back in your country and if they assume you aren't returning they will be denied, if PR wasn't a part of the US and I had to go through that process I'd go insane... I told my mom that if she left to PR then she would probably never hug me again cause I wouldn't go back to that horrible place if it was her last wish, I am 40 and my home is within the State itself, nothing could take me back to PR, so why can't every one else say no I don't want to ever come back???
