    Uh.....     don't you think the same issues will arise if you simply apply again right after a denial?

    I want to secure an appointment, maybe by the beginning of next year. By then hopefully the COVID travel restrictions will change, which were the reason for the denial.

    Well i did a little digging and also got permission from a friend to share her experience. 

    A friend of mine a south african lived in finland, which is part of schengen for many years. She had a residence permit and one time she was in France with her boyfriend for months... They wanted to come visit me in new york... She and her boyfriend decided to apply for a visa at the US embassy in France... Her boyfriend got the visa but she was qustioned on why she did not appy in finland or south africa... And eventually refused. 

     

    Now the DOS website stated that third country nationals  residing legally can apply for a visa.. She had a permit that grants her legal stay in all schengen countries for 90 days... However, she is not a resident in France. It is difficult for consulates to evaluate your intentions and ties to the country when you not a resident. 

     

    On the other hand, immigrant visas can easily be adjucated in the same scenario because you no longer have burden to prove that you coming back. 

     

    Your milage and luck might defer, if you have good reasons and money is not an issue.. By all means give it a try. What do you have to lose?.. Just have your story straight on why you are chosing to apply in a different consulate other than your country of residence or home country.

    But from your post, i think the outcome will be the same... They have your case in the system and it does not matter which consulate you go to

    Since you already in AP, pushing for this might look desperate and desperation and no immigrant visas dont go well together... All the best! 

    Thank you for your answer and thanks for sharing your friend’s story.

    The only reason I want to apply in another country is because they have available appointments, while in Germany there are not.

    My old AP stuck B1/B2 visa was refused based on the email I got from Frankfurt consulate, so the only thing I can do now is to apply again .  I have no choice.. 

    yes this looks desperate, and to be honest it is. I havent seen my family for 3 years now thanks to the previous travel ban and now the covid restrictions.

    Can you expand on the "grievous consequences"? I often see that people recommend to just give it a try, suggesting that there is little downside (other than time and money wasted). Do you know of situations where attempts to transfer to another embassy had a negative impact on the visa application process?

    I have no idea thats why I am asking here

    Hi,

     

    I live in Germany where I have my residency. I am trying to visit my I family in the US, but my B1/B2 visa appointment keep getting cancelled. It was cancelled for the 3rd time now. I am frustrated and so my old parents who I havent seen for 3 years now.  There are no appointments available now in Germany. 

    I checked that in Czech Republic- Prague there are available appointments. My question is:  can I apply in a country different than the one I live in??

     

    Thank you 

     

     

    Form DS-5535 "Supplemental Questions for Visa Applicants" -- Part 2

    in US Embassy and Consulate Discussion

    Posted

    I applied for a B2 visitor visa in June 2019, was asked to fill the ds-5535 form. And since that date nothing changed not even a date update on CEAC. Is this normal? I sent many emails and always got the same answer “still undergoing administrative processing “

    Any suggestions what to do? Can I just reapply? 
    All I want is to visit my family there. I previously had a visa and traveled 4 times.

    please any suggestions?

    Per what DOS has stated in recent court filings, only if the visa applicant meets an exemption to the Schengen Area proclamation. Do you meet an exemption? https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/03/16/2020-05578/suspension-of-entry-as-immigrants-and-nonimmigrants-of-certain-additional-persons-who-pose-a-risk-of

    Section 1 of this proclamation shall not apply to:

    (i) any lawful permanent resident of the United States;

    (ii) any alien who is the spouse of a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident;

    (iii) any alien who is the parent or legal guardian of a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, provided that the U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident is unmarried and under the age of 21;

    (iv) any alien who is the sibling of a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, provided that both are unmarried and under the age of 21;

    (B) whose travel falls within the scope of section 11 of the United Nations Headquarters Agreement;

    (ix) any alien whose entry would not pose a significant risk of introducing, transmitting, or spreading the virus, as determined by the Secretary of Health and Human Services, through the CDC Director or his designee;

    (xii) members of the U.S. Armed Forces and spouses and children of members of the U.S. Armed Forces.

    Thank you so much for the info. I actually to be honest don’t know if I meet one of the exceptions.

    I  want to visit my family (parents) who are residents in the US.
    I hold a Syrian pass with a German permanent residence, I am an engineer and a Phd student.

    They are doing interviews for B Series Visas.   Those are Non Immigrant.   You may apply for one.  

    But you have 2 things against you:

    1) you have a pending immigrant visa.   How do you plan on showing the consulate officier that you have no immigrant intent?

    2) you have a Syrian passport - expect extreme vetting and Administrative Processing.

     

    :time:

    Thank you for your answer.

    I have a Pending Nonimmigrant visa ( B2 visitor visa).  Just want yo visit family ( i had a b2 before and visited the US several times) .

    That has nothing to do with the president. That is simply the inner workings of USCIS. Administrative Processing happens to everyone. Some take longer than others but everybody goes through it.

    Sorry Sir I have a question. I have bern under Administrative processing for more than a year and half. I also was asked to fill the ds5535 form which was introduced by president Trump. What do you think will happen regarding that? Thank you
