They know everything about you. And of course they do background research on you before the interview. That's why our files are sent to the embassy about a month before the visa interview - so that they can research the person.

If you haven't lied about anything in the application, and if you don't lie about anything at the interview then there's nothing to worry about.

I dont think they know the records,but they will ask about this issue.

They know everything about you and your petitioner... and when you go to the interview they will ask you where your petitioner is now, to see if you tell them the truth or not....

Do you interpret this from their questions or whatever else?

The entry and exit records are the easiest thing in the world to obtain - all they need is passport number, name and date of birth. This will already have been checked at NVC level as you are required on the DS-260 to list your most recent entries to the US and how long you stayed. They don't ask this because they don't know this information and are relying on you to provide it. They ask this to see if you are telling the truth - they already know the answer to all the questions on the DS-260. It's a test of honesty.

Why does it matter?

[mallafri76 1,012]

If you're being truthful in your application then I don't understand why it matters or why you're making such a big deal out of it?!?! Whenever you enter/exit the US by plane or boat, the airline or boat company will share their passenger list with the US government. When you enter the US, they take your biometrics and scan your passport. The US government know the date you enter and exit the US.

I know from experience that the CO knows when you entered and exited the US. There's been several posts about this very topic right here on VJ, including someone who overstayed with one day and the next time he returned to the US on the VWP, he was denied entry due to an overstay (one day) and returned home.

Thanx all.The problem is that my petitioner has stayed more than allowed out of USA. Wanna know whether this may result in rejection.This is why i am asking the question.No intention to lie.I will tell the truth if i am asked about this issue.Wanna know whether they know that my petitioner has been out for that much and does it matter to them.

We are in the same boat Bebalula.As far as i have studied about,They seem to know.But it depends on CO.I know someone who has not been questioned about the issue and after AP,was issued the visa.
