But when I travelled last yr, they didn't stamp it. My cousins said they stopped doing that, but then what proof do you have to show that you entered the US on a specific date?

For USA you have to get the I-94 form. You should be able to see your records.

yeah you can use the site to check your records, but you don't actually need the I-94 anymore, whole thing fully automated for the past decade or so. wish this backward country would do the same, but they couldn't even get the business e-registration thing fixed for months, so maybe that's asking too much. its real jarring to go through such a seamless process when going to the states, then having to come back to an archaic, inefficient one

From what I understand they have quota numbers to fill up to make it look like they don't discriminate. If they fall short on their placement then they call u back as they most qualified.Phone Surgeon wrote:allyuh ever hear about someone getting refused at the in person interview and then months later....the embassy email back and say they review it..and they approving the visa to come back in?

What will automatically disqualify you?

So basically if you have nothing here to loose then they may not consider your application.AlphaMan wrote:What are the "ties" they look for to approve your Visa?

What about those special kind of ppl who accounts dry but as soon as their appointment coming up they rush they put thousands of dollars in it to make to look "good"Dave wrote:Once you can demonstrate that you have assets to support your case of obtaining a visa and won't be "stowing away" in the country then yes.
They always say to bring statements to support your case.
