You are making this more complicated than it needs to be, it's a very simple process. Get them to apply ASAP, there is no benefit to waiting. They fill out the DS160. They go to the interview and answer any questions. Done.

You should probably search the meaning of the word reciprocity if you don't know the definition. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country.html Sounds like they think he did not follow the instructions for the document needed in his country? Did he apply for the certificate like it says to do on that page?

Help you with what? You were refused at the interview and the status online says you have been refused.. seems pretty self explanatory.

She should be prepared to be denied entry and sent back on the next plane home and rightly so. She is basically using a tourist visa to live and work in the USA.

He needs a valid Peruvian passport to use the one in his previous expired passport. Or he needs a new visa in his Mexican passport. His previous travel was not a small difference but a very big difference as mentioned in previous post.

There is no petitioning or sponsorship for a tourist visa. No documents are required, everything is in the DS160. He needs to show strong ties to the Philippines. What ties does he have? It sounds like he has family in the US? Edit// from your previous posts you adjusted status, you are in the process of bringing over your parents to live in the US, and your nephew just wants to 'visit'? Yea ok... I would expect a swift denial for your nephew, there is no way the CO will believe he won't overstay.

Those are not very strong ties. What about a job? Family?

No documents are required for a B2 visa application. Police report is also not required. Information on the DS160 will be used to decide whether to grant the visa or not, as well as the answers to the questions at the interview, not pieces of paper. What ties does he have to the UK?

Zero hope, this is one of those cases where it's better not to waste the application fee.

A waiver is not guaranteed, it depends on the local consulate where you are applying. You say you are staying in Bahrain, I'm assuming you are planning to apply there? Unless you are a legal permanent resident there then highly doubt you will get an interview waiver. Nobody knows whether they will ask for more information - you need to apply and find out. Take whatever documents you think may be needed at the interview - but don't expect to be asked for them, I certainly wasn't.

You said your original interview next week is still with the original DS160? So use that at the interview as it's already linked.

No need for a new DS160, just let them know the correct details at the interview.

What is this error?

There's so many things that don't add up, and don't make much sense. What does make sense is that he was rightly denied. The boyfriend was the one who made errors that caused this, not the other way round. Cringe at the whole 'gf posted story on FB', one of the reasons I don't use it, so many people just wanting attention by posting their life stories for everyone to see, when it should stay private.

What a clueless post. Typical American entitled attitude, nothing new. You claim to be in the PH since January but I very much doubt it. If you did you would know the situation for most people in PH, and how a lot of them would believe/do anything if it meant there was a chance to support their family, including going abroad. The fact it inconveniences you personally is a very selfish attitude, CFO is there as an extra layer of security to ensure those going abroad will not end up in any harm. If just one person is saved then it's worth it for everyone to spend time and money to get it. Not to mention CFO is very easy as well as fast to get. Is it perfect? No, but it's certainly not the overly dramatic worst thing in the world like you imply. If you don't like the laws of the country you are in then maybe go back to your precious USA, I don't you will be missed with your attitude.

Ability to pay all costs is related to the applicants job/salary, it has nothing to do with amount of money in the bank account.

What country are you from? That is an important factor you have not mentioned. You appear to have very weak ties regardless, no surprise you were denied.

I'm assuming you have already met previously and this is not the first time meeting? At her interview when asked the purpose of her visit, make sure she tells the truth, which is to get married, not just to visit.

Getting married to you is a negative for her application. You are focusing too much on yourself, her application has nothing to do with you. She needs to show strong ties to her home country, why she will return, such as employment. What ties did she show?

Stamp means nothing. Always go by online i94

Why are you checking an application when all you have done is fill out the DS160 and haven't even gone to the interview yet? What are you expecting to see?

I'm assuming the question you are referring to is about having stayed in the US longer than the admission period granted to you. ESTA will most likely be denied, so B2 will be your option left.

Nothing to do with luck, he was rightly denied. If he can't afford a holiday then his job is not much of a tie.

When I applied and got my B2 visa as a 3rd country citizen in the UK, a colleague of mine who had the exact same job and exact same salary was denied at the same time. Only difference was I had a European (non VWP) passport and he had a Nigerian passport...

You won't be getting approved with that family history, save your money and don't even apply, this is one of those moments where it's not even worth wasting the application fee.
