It's not fake papers! Hah.

Please understand. Who told you fake papers. Be positive.

It sounds as if you lived in Morocco for 3 years and never used your real name. So, why did you omit that travel on your DS-260?  It seems very suspicious.

if you did not disclose your trips in the DS-260

"Not disclosing" is not the same as saying "I did not travel" or answer "no" to the question if they have ever travelled. I assume this is going to delay the process because there is an attempt to misrepresent.

There's no such concept as attempt to misrepresent. If information is corrected timely IT IS NOT misrepresentation.

I understand that. I completely understand what misrepresentation is and is not. I do know he can correct at the interview. However, what I am saying is that this case might take longer than the rest of the cases because there is a lie involving identity. Whether it is a lie by omission, whether OP did not know better, etc is not going to make the officer decide fast. They take identity issues very seriously, run several background checks and this adds to the delay.

You must disclose everything in a new DS-260: both your name -the correct spelling and the mispelled one- and the time you've spent in Morocco -plus anything you also need to update/disclose-.

 

As many have told you already, not disclosing is considered misrepresentation and you will be denied and won't immigrate. 

If you correct all the issues NOW, there won't be any misrepresentation.

You guys don't understand who tell you is fake papers. Different name spelling. 

Mahamadou and Muhammad. The same name but different name spelling. With two countries that I have right to have their nationality.

I think you are being very dishonest or kidding yourself. Misspelled name is one thing but you said on your post that "I have the same name but different spellings different date of birth"

 

So really you created a whole other identify. YES? What was the reason for "Fake Documents" because they were fake if they weren't truthful. Yes?

And also the title, wanting to HIDE travel history? Fishy to say the least. Notice how I asked three very simple questions that would help us understand the situation. OP has replied other posts but conveniently skipped mine.

 honestly had to go back to your original post to understand the situation. The way you explained it is not clear. Let me see if I got this straight.

- Your name is Mohammed and some of your documents are under "Muhammed", correct? 

- You need to get police certificate from Morocco, but those would be under your mispelled name? 

- You said you already sent some documents to NVC. Are those documents under the correct name?

I have two nationality, the passport I travel to Morocco is not the one I use for the USCIS/NVC. MAHAMADOU is the document I travel to Morocco and Muhammad in USCIS/NVC.

Hi everyone!

I want to know if someone can hide there travel history from the consular officer, like telling them you never traveled but definitely you did.

Telling them you never travelled when you say you really did is lying

 

It's not because you're a criminal but you can't provide a police certificate from that country you traveled to before because you use different documents in that country with what you are using in NVC. that country they don't have a record of you with that name and nationality.

So what you are saying is you have dual citizenship between Morrocco and Hungary and in each country your name is spelled a different way, same name, just a different spelling?

 

So any advice how to fix this should I you tell the consular officer that you never traveled or what?

Always tell the truth. What you think is a tiny omission will be seen as a LIE, then they will wonder why and think there is much more you are hiding. By the way, nobody on here is going to advise you to lie, omit or misrepresent your way into the US.

 

Please advices!

And is it possible to hide the travel history are they gonna know you traveled before. Do they work with foreign countries to know that.

I assume you used a passport to travel between countries, in which case there will most likely be a record of that. 

 

Confused!

We are confused too. You are digging a hole.

Except that this is not a mistake. It is one lie after the other. 

Just yesterday I was watching Jim Hacking show and there was somebody with a somewhat similar situation. Hacking said the person needs an immigration attorney from wherever country you used fake identities, to try to disclose police records. Then, you also need a US immigration attorney. This is certainly neither DIY nor cheap.

No matter how deliberate it was, I still stand with fix it/tell the truth from now on.  Stop digging!
