South Korean national here looking to apply for a B1/B2 visa. ESTA got denied on the grounds of past overstay. I have previously overstayed on ESTA before getting married in the US (us citizen) and adjusting status successfully. But I ended up getting divorced so I came back to South Korea. It's been 3 and a half years and I'm looking to visit as a tourist, maybe next year. Lawyer's asking $2,000 for the process but I'd like to do it myself if it isn't necessary. Also, I have no intention of staying in the US. Currently a freshman in college at the age of 27. Here's some relevant dates. 12/20/2018 - Entry to the US (I-94 expired on 03/19/2019) 07/2019 - Marriage 10/2019 - I-485(AOS) filed 01/2020 - 2 year conditional GC approved 01/2022 - Left the US before GC expiration 03/2022 - Divorce finalized (Zoom court) 06/2023 - Surrendered GC with I-407 2022-2024 military service 2025 started college Is a lawyer my only shot here?

I happened to fill g639 accidentally and ticked i94. I didnt knw at that point i had to use cbp.gov to check my travel history. I did get a reply from uscis saying nothing was found. I have to reapply for a b2 visa soon since it will expire in few months. Will this g639 be an issue?

Hello, I would like to hear your insights on this matter: I am an LPR and filed for my husbands F2A last year. Our priority date is March 2024. Since decision is still pending on his I-130 and there has not been any changes in the visa bulletin lately, we are not expecting him to be able to come here for another 2 years. We would like to apply for a visit visa, just for him to be able to come see me here in the US. What are the chances of that getting approved? I have not heard about approved cases so far, so I'm not sure if we should even try for the B2 visa. Are there anyone who went through the process and would recommend I try too? Any advice appreciated. Thank you!

Hi, i am here in the US with a pending i-130. I just turned 21yrs old. I am allowed to stay here until June 22. Can I apply for F1 visa with a pending i-130? i am planning to extend here longer since my dad was also diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. But I think if I apply for visa extension, it might get denied. also, will my B2 visa get revoked if the F1 don’t work out? also, I am from the Philippines thank you

I had a 5 year USA tourist visa. It’s expired on March 2024. I want to apply to renew it. And I have the below questions: 1. I was rejected on my first visa application. Then approved when I had more paperwork. So do I say “yes” to question "have you ever been refused a visa, port of entry etc.. question on ds160 . I read that rejected and denied are not the same and I needed help getting more clarification. 2. I served as a doctor in the my country's army and discharged due to a medical condition. Do I have to say yes to question if I have served in an army given I was mostly going to the clinic to get my medical exemption? 3- how long does the renewal process take, I know on the site it says 6 weeks but I heard people got it within the same week of delivering the documents. 4- what to answer on specific plans to the US , and intended time of arrival and length of stay. 5- social media presence I put my facebook account ( is there any necessary need to put in other platforms) 6- Lastly, I have already submitted my application, is there a way to go back to edit previous submissions, or can I create a new application. (do I make a new one immediately or shall I wait for the previous application to expire) Any additional information provided will be much appreciated.

Hi, im petitioning my brother for b2 visa. He is 17 yr old and currently in senior high. He is from philippines. May I ask the things he need to bring to the interview.

Hey everyone, Feel free to move this to the appropriate forum if this is not the right place to post this question. Summary of the situation My mom had a 10-year ban because she overstayed her visa in the U.S. She served her 10-year ban and now was granted a B2 visa. She will be coming to visit me and my family in the U.S. (wife and I are LPRs, child is USC). My aunt was recently in the same situation and came to visit us. Her POE was Fort Lauderdale and she got the stinky eye by some immigration officers that didn't know what to do given her history. Ultimately they allowed her in and she came and visited us on a B2 visa. My concern is that my mom faces the same issues at the POE because she'll be entering the U.S. for the first time after the ban on a new B2 visa. Question Would a POE from a larger airport like Houston or Dallas be better than smaller airports POE because the officers would be more experienced in this type of situation? We're in Austin,TX and tickets are cheaper if she comes through Sao Paulo-Mexico City and then San Antonio. My concern is the POE at San Antonio airport. Would it be better to pay more and enter through POE in Houston or would she be ok even at a smaller airport POE such as SAT? Thanks all!

I am trying to help my mother in law renew her B2 and not sure what the best way to do that is currently. She is living in Moscow but can go to wherever to renew it. Anyone know the best way to do this currently? She travels to Italy frequently and Ive also heard Khazakastan is a good option to renew it. Any advise would be helpful!
