The whole helping thing was just for the flight and she's only staying in US for a week, but I see how that could turn into her staying as an illegal nanny in their minds. Not that I owe an explanation for what I do with my kids but It's highly likely I'd take them to Col anyway because we're staying with family and I'm not welcome without them. JK But anyway, we're definitely not mentioning any surgery or kids now, I'm just trying to decide if we still add me as her travelling companion or just alone like she put on her first application. She doesn't have to come with me, she can travel alone but it was just an idea.

I'm staying in US, I go visit family in Colombia (and possibly getting a plastic surgery next time I go there), so I was thinking she could travel to the US with me when I'm coming back home, the plan is she would stay with me in US for a week or so and go back to Colombia. I just want her to be able to come visit me sometimes, as a tourist. If travelling with me doesn't help or would look suspicious for some reason, we can just say she's travelling here alone and staying with me for a week for vacation but that was the plan when she got denied.

I know it's soon but we are adding more info and hoping they give her a chance to speak this time, since she has to explain why she's applying again. I've heard that right now they're scheduling interviews for 2027 but we don't get to see availability until we pay, and nothing else is going to change in her life so we just want to try soon instead of putting it off. She works and goes to college at night, she's 2 semesters away from getting a bachelor's degree. She did not add the college part on her previous application, I would think that's a strong reason to go back to Colombia but I've also seen that not finishing college doesn't look good? We're also adding her social media accounts and LinkedIn, she has old accounts that she doesn't use so she didn't want to add them on the first application. She owns an apartment but didn't get a chance to mention it in the interview. I have tickets to the World Cup, she brought a copy to the interview and said that's one of the reasons she's coming but didn't get to show them, her interview is probably not going to be before the WC. If we don't mention my surgery, would it help to add she's traveling with me or should we leave that out and say she's flying solo? We're still saying she's coming to visit me.

My girl friend is applying again for a tourist visa in Colombia, our plan is that I'm going there to get plastic surgery and she's travelling to US with me to stay for a week. Do you recommend that she adds me as her travel companion on the DS-160 and saying that's the purpose of her travel? Helping me on the trip and visiting for a week? She was denied a couple months ago under section 214(B). She said she was staying with me but we didn't add that we were travelling together or my surgery, do you think this would help her case or could it look bad that she's not only staying a here but travelling with me? I might travel with my kids (6 and 8yo), would it be a stronger case to say she's helping me because I had surgery and travelling with the kids? In that case, should I add them as travelling companions as well? TIA!
