Excellent insight Mandy. From my time as a visa officer, I can say that I completely agree with this video. Officers don't have time to look at documents and depending on the country, you can't trust them either. Another reason that you didn't mention, when Consular Officers are learning the language they will be working on, more emphasis is put on speaking than reading, and so usually an officer is much better at interviewing than they are reading documents in the local language. This is all excellent advice though and tracts 100% with my experience. I can remember approving applicants' visas and then they look confused and saying "but you didn't look at my papers yet?

My experience is limited to a non-immigrant B-2 visa, intervied this month in Frankfurt/Germany.

No documents were requested in the invitation, other than the passport and the DS-160 confirmation page. None. But I have seen other people bringing lots of paper because it seems to be the urban legend it would help or be necessary. - My interview was 2 minutes, while I think my answer to the first question was already suffcient. The following smalltalk helped to support what I had answered then. As far as I could see, none of the about 10 people in my line got the visa denied.- It may be different for applicants from other countries, or if you apply for an immigrant visa.

When I applied last 2014, I again had the slim chance of being approved because I was already petitioned by my sister but I read a lot and watch some blogs from the US Embassy, it was not an automatic denial but you really have to convince the officer that you’ll comeback to your own country.

Visa fees is just another way to rip of people. World wide Visa fees amount to Billions of USD. One of the worst countries for this is the USA. They claim NO visa is needed for example for Swiss citizen's, however, one needs an ESTA, and this costs the same as a Visa. This sucks, doesn't it? NB: Swiss passport holders can have the ESTA to enter the country. This multiple-entry document guarantees visa-free travel and is valid for 2 years. With an ESTA, nationals of Switzerland can stay in the United States for up to 90 days without a visa. The US issues an ESTA for tourism, business, and medical purposes.

[@antonioalfaro5749]

From my experienced, they have already studied and reviewed all your documents and they know exactly what questions to asked their interviewees. All you have to do is listen, listen and listen to what they are asking you. If you do not understand the question, you can ask them to please repeat. Do not be in a hurry to answer immediately, think it over for a few seconds which also gives you a little time to give a good answer. Make your response short and brief. DO NOT offer any information the Visa Officer did not asked. DO NOT mention any Filipino politicians name even if they are your relative, It's a NO, NO! DO give them the best truthful answers to their questions. They already know the right answer or can easily check it.

[@Wog68]

I am with you for most of it. I went with no expectation and didn’t care if they denied it. My compilation of documents were the copies of every documents, photos and letters I wrote with proof of sending them by mail or couriers. They research you well and they ask behavioral questions rather than technical. Don’t even think that they don’t read or check whatever documents you have already sent or presented on the day being interviewed. If you have nothing to hide most likely that you will be granted visa. This also apply every time you are returning at the border in the future (every time you cross the border (even after you may have become naturalized citizen)

Here’s the thing, if they would’ve just looked in the damn packet, IT WAS THERE! Times 2! For multiple years even….all the docs were deemed documentarily qualified in December of 2020, via the NVC website. Didn’t get passed thru for interviews til March of 2023….so some docs on the ceac portal were outdated, but eeeeeeeverything was on point in the packet….only thing they asked for was the kids birth certificates. Not gonna lie, felt some kinda way about that. So yea, she right about this. Go ahead and put her expertise to use. I’m sure the cost will be worth it. Save yourself the hassle I had.

My family now lives in the US as PRs but this video really struck a nerve with me. Over a decade ago, my wife, a PR in Canada awaiting Citizenship ceremony (already approved for citizenship), was denied a simple US Visitor Visa by the Calgary Canada location US Immigration Consulate. She came back downstairs from the "interview" in tears. EVERY single Chinese individual in the group (over 30 individuals) had been rubber-stamped in. What didn't help her horrendous shock and grief was that they all emerged from the elevator jubilant, and giving each other hugs and fist bumps all around us standing there, But she, as a Filipino, was denied entry before she even spoke, not figuratively...LITERALLY. She told me through her heaving sobs (we had prepared METICULOUSLY over six months for that day) that the officer looked her up and down, didn't even look at her folder, and just as you said, literally TOSSED IT ASIDE. He took one look at her and said I'm not convinced you won't immigrate, so I'm going to deny you today. To add supreme insult to painful injury, like all immigrants, she was told DO NOT QUESTION WHY the officer made his decision to deny if he denies you. The applicant is literally TERRIFIED that by simply asking why the officer was suspicious, there will be some type of derogatory note placed into the computer, and they will NEVER get an approval!! This is ABUSIVE and INHUMANE. It is almost like prohibiting a patient from asking any questions after being told they have cancer. She stated that he was extremely cold and terse, not even speaking almost at all. What was even worse to me, as an American Citizen, was the fact that those officers couldn't even be questioned by ME, and AMERICAN CITIZEN as to why my wife was denied! They had an arrangement in that building where they went down a back elevator directly into a private parking garage and emerged through the back exit, and therefore would never have to explain to the denied applicants in any real way, why they just destroyed their life's plans. That was the only day in my entire life, I have been ASHAMED to be an American citizen. When I witnessed how my country treated a kind, honest, truthful human who only wanted to SEE the wonders of this country for a weekend at a time eg. Mall of America, Vegas, Grand Canyon, etc, I was sick to my stomach and felt like vomiting. As we made the 5 hour trip back to central Canada, I did my best to dry my wife's tears after this devastating (DEVASTATING) denial. I tried to make her feel better, all the while wanting to punch my fist in frustration and anger through a wall. She didn't get a simple VISITOR visa for several more YEARS. 1. It is UTTERLY PREPOSTEROUS that the documents are required if the officer is told NOT to look at them! It takes dozens of hours to assimilate those documents, let alone LOTS of money. But then again, NO ONE coming across the Rio Grande is required to present documents so they really should just eliminate all requirements for them for everyone, and just totally rely on a face-to-face interview! What's good for the goose is good for the gander. 2. In the time it takes the officer to deny one legal entry, who complied in good faith, with every single requirement listed by the US Immigration service, ten thousand illegals were ESCORTED across the southern border and released without even a court date. That's correct. As of the past few weeks, they are now being released or even transported (cars, vans, buses, airliners, military aircraft) in to the deep interior of the country and released WITHOUT court dates in many cases. If MILLIONS of sight-unseen, totally unvetted people, are being brought in each year, then WHY DENY ANY LEGAL APPLICANT AT ALL? To deny legal applicants while escorting illegal entrants in by the thousands each and every day, has to be the biggest, most unjust, paradox in history! I just don't get what has happened to Immigration law and order in my country.

That's so true; I have been denied four times and was always sincere and honest. I am not quite sure what it is that they are looking for. I have spoken to them with sincerity, and they sometimes don't look at you. There was an incident when I applied, and the officer's head was down, and he reached for the denial sheet without even thoroughly interviewing me. I don't see the point of going back after being denied four times.

Good Day Mandy, Thank you for giving us tips and information in regards with the US Visa Processing, interviews, documents etc ... Really these information is very much helpful to the people, especially people like me who are appearing for Visa first time. FYI: My File was been submitted in USCIS at early July and my application has been approved on 4th August and original approval (I-797B etc...) documents are posted to me by USPS (United States Postal Service), New Jersey International Registered Mail on 16th August' 2023 to me to deliver in Cape Town. The delivery period supposed to me around 15-20 business days, but its already over 40 business days (55 days) since its posted. At least USPS tracking is not available for South Africa, and No Response from South Africa Post Office as well. I need to attend for my "H1B1 Non-Immigrant Work Visa" urgently in 'US Consulate Office in Cape Town, South Africa'. But original documents are not delivered to me yet and not sure how long that takes further as neither myself nor the USPS not the SAPO could able to track the parcel whereabouts. So not sure whether I get the documents now. My employer submitted application for new copies of approval documents, but it may take further 6-8 weeks to be delivered to them and again it takes another 3-4 weeks to be delivered to me. So, definitely its too long process (+/- 3 months) from now. I have my approval document copies in my mail drive that has been shared by my employer in USA. I can download in colour copies, Can I submit these "colour photocopies of approval documents' to the Visa Officer" when I appeared for availing my H1B Visa. PLEASE ADVISE. Also, please advise, when I landed in USA (upon H1B1 Work Visa approved), should I need to "show my original file/case approval documents (I-791B etc ...) along with H1B Visa at Port of Entry ? OR the Immigration Officials (at Departure in RSA and Arrival in USA) allow me to fly/enter in to USA. PLEASE ADVISE. Request with you to kindly advise and respond back to me as urgently as possible. Thank you in advance for your kind advise and suggestion. Regards, VK REDDY

My Fiancee recently had an interview and the counselor didn't even look at any documents. Asked a few questions then gave her a refusal letter and told her to send requested additional documents to embassy. One was not on list of required documents, how ever my fiancee had a copy. The other was a request for steps taken to re-establish domicile in states and had they looked at proof of relationship, they would have seen that I secured residence two and half years ago. We have since sent requested documents (which I hope they look at), and awaiting next step/decision. Sorry to hear that I wasted many hours, but it is a necessary on the off chance they will peruse.

[@kitty_s23456]

@bruce - if the purpose is "to visit BF/ GF" and the sponsor is the BF/ GF, the applicant is usually denied (esp if she has no financial capacity of her own). Having a BF/ GF is a red flag. Reason: risk of migration/ overstay. It's only rare cases that a GF/BF gets the visa. If she wants to re-apply, then she must have financial capacity & strong ties. If you want her to live in the US, you must file for the K1 (fiancée) visa. Btw if you do file for K1, she shouldn't file for B1B2 during the waiting period because the tourist visa will be denied if there's a pending petition.

[@SecondChanceHiker]

Very frustrating!!! I am a USA citizen married to a Thai. I told the USA ambassador of Thailand my wife was rejected last year at a town hall meeting. I told him I am retired USA military and never want to move back to the USA. I hate the process. His second in command told me to reapply. It’s been a year so this time Going to apply this in Laos as only a two day waiting period. We built an amazing life overseas and documents would help show that imo. Playing by the rules as a green card would be fraud if we don’t move to the USA. In almost 3 years have only visited the USA once. An immigration lawyer gave me advice and said to lie that we are moving to the USA and apply for a green card. Makes no sense.

The most important thing is to overcome section 214b of the immigration act. You have to convince the officer that you absolutely have to come back to your home country after visiting the U.S., ie., u have a great job, property, strong family ties, etc. Showing that u have no ties in the U.S. and there’s no way you can stay there is important too!

I am not sure if this is the practice today. When I applied for a US Visa about 20 years ago, the application form stated exactly all the documents that I had to submit along with my application. It stated clearly that failure to do so would automatically result in a rejection. Since I was traveling to US to attend a work training course, among the documents that were required to be submitted were the letter of invitation from my sponsor, letter from employer confirming me as an employee and purpose of visit, travel itinerary including flight schedules and hotel accommodation and a marriage certificate (presumably so that I don't jump ship in USA and abandon my wife). The consular officer checked that all my documents were there before telling me to wait for the embassy to set the interview date once I get through this screening stage. I noticed that whenever the other applicants failed to provide their documents, the consular officers would reprimand them and tell them that if they don't do so, their application forms will be returned to them without processing.

[@mindadelossantos1736]

I totally agree with you Atty. When my husband & I applied for a non-immigrant visa, the officer did not look at our prepared docs but we answered her questions as honestly as we can.

[@down1tone]

@@alisonj1384 that’s the only visa that matches my wife’s intentions. Like this is that problem with America’s visa policies/options. They don’t understand that there are many expats around the world that enjoy their life abroad. And it is reasonable to want to visit family in the states, with their spouse, once or twice a year. Like, this assumption that everyone wants to immigrate to America is really ridiculous and just an example America’s arrogant world view. Can’t even imagine that life in other countries might be just as good or even better than in the US. And it’s simple: just give folks the option for a ‘family visa’ that can’t be used to adjust status after one enters the country. Cuz it’s truly infuriating that one must “overcome 214b” when they themselves created this system that allows people to adjust status that gets easily abused. Like, why not let everyone with enough money to travel and spend in the US just be approved for tourist visas and simply close the gap for adjusting status?

I answered with a question, "How long before i really have to leave for the US because I still have to go back to the KSA because of the project I'm handling?"
