You work as a shipyard marine outfitting designer why don't you come like the rest of the Chinese in a shipping container?

Seriously, nobody was thinking it? What happened to the tasteless sense of humor this board used to have.

NALEM ,We interviewed in Beijin last month.

My Visa consultant said we should bring the original document to look over if necessary.Because VO knows about Chinese . In fact, they haven't seen any of it.

Sorry. Do you mean the news about 39 dead in a container in England?

Most of the documents doesn't show up on the DS160 application forms. and can not be appealed. but could have a second interview.

One possible reason may be No more confident.

Probably just a really poor time to try with news of spies and current politics etc.

Dude, don't get caught up in the weeds. Visas between US and China are taking longer on both sides right now. That's just the way it is.

i'd be inclined to disagree with that statement

:1orglaugh

not this year, sir...

Xinyonghu, hello.

Ignore some of the replies here. Some are idiots, and others are just having fun. Many Americans have no idea how stressful and difficult it is, to have to apply for a Visa to enter the United States.

Confident people "appear" to be relaxed and honest. When people are nervous or anxious or desperate in the eyes of the Consul Staff, the Consul Staff is asking themselves why is this person behaving this way. Are they lying to me, and afraid to be caught in the lie?

For general clarification, when you traveled to Korea, was it South or North Korea?
Shipyard marine outfitting designer? What type of position is this? Do you require special security clearance with your government or employer? You can imagine that the US Government would be worried if you visit cities near the naval shipyards, that you could be a spy.

The good news, if its correct, that Beijing is processing Tourist Visas within 3 business days, so if you work quickly and in a smart way prepare your supporting documents, including translations and notary certification, you could have your interview very soon.

Photocopy your past or current passports pages which also show entry/exit stamps and Visas to countries you traveled. Bank statements showing past payment for travel packages and hotels abroad, including any photos of yourself in known tourist destinations, all help.

If you write me directly, I will try to share with you some email addresses for Beijing. Some you may recognize from their website, others will come from a State Department directory we keep. Unfortunately with our current President, many positions including that of Consul General are not officially filled in many locations. I will try to provide you the most updated information.

i heard that if you traveled to north korea, you will likely get your visa denied.
May be just rumors...

NALEM ,Thank you very much for your advice . I didn’t expect to get better suggestions.

The place I go to often is KOREA, REPUBLIC OF (SOUTH) , I've been to there many times this year. Because It is a very near distance from my city. I often go to there on Saturday and return on Sunday . I have emailed you for more detail .:)

This is exactly what they do in Thailand.. impossible to get a tourist Visa to leave Thailand unless you're married to the foreigner

Has dictator known for indoctrination, prison Gulags and executions in social media bio pic. Is confused why US visa application was rejected.

Three months ago I was questioned in the Shanghai airport for about 15 minutes by an immigration supervisor because I had been recently in Istanbul. I had to tell them everything I did, which, since it was all touristy stuff, didn't seem to cause an issue. This has never happened before.

Mickey you are absolutely right, but keep in mind that you have Orban, who appears to be working a major power grab, and given his speeches, would agree with the outrageous tactics implemented in China. And we of course have our own Orangutan. :)

I was referring to the thread starter's bio pic of rocketman. I generally stay out of politics.

Hi Mickey, that absolutely makes more sense. On the mobile, and I don't see member avatars.

Try using American Express instead.

Mickey. about bio pic I don't know where it's just funny . I have little social media account in other sites.
