hi everyone

most of you might remember me from my posts back then..... Ok so this is my story been to USA before on a K1 visa but my ex didnt go through with the marriage after cheating on me. i returned to Ghana my home country before the 90 days period was up. ( left the usa on dec 7 and my 90 days period would end on 14 dec) .

i want to go visit my friends this summer so am thinking of applying for B2 visa, what should i expect at the interview please? and what are my chances?

thanks Y'all :dancing:

All you can do is try but Chances are really slim. You are in a hign fraud country... :wow: sorry it didnt work out for you maybe they will consider you left and did not over stay k1 but it looks bad for you.... :huh:

Expect lots of scrutiny...???

What evidence you have of strong ties to your country?

Ghana seems to be a really tough country for obtaining US visas.

my work , got property , and the fact that i return when i went there..lol

The fact you were already here is a negative not a positive...even though you left. They can see it as a second try at immigration.

Your ties will need to be very well rooted unfortunatly....

Sometimes good people pay for bad peoples actions but maybe you will get it never know...

I have no idea of your situation but having a K1 and then having left should not be a negative, might even be a positive.

Boiler said what I was thinking. All that you can do is try. Perhaps ask for a very short time of stay. Let us know the outcome.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

i remember your k1 story, it was sad. for me i wont recommend k1 over spousal visa. because with that one, if your spouse had changed her mind like that, it wont put a negative record with uscis for u.

anyway, about your question, i will strongly advice to try F1 instead of B1/B2.

You had mentioned u wanted to go to school in the states before so i advice u wait and do that instead.

assuming during the <90 days in the states u came across a school that u liked and decided to apply for it, it would make sense to the consular.

but if u are not granted the B1/B2 on this try and u later try F1 for school, the counselor is more likely to say because u were denied B1/B2, u are trying to use other desperate means to enter.

...just my opinion.

Choose wisely, because every visa you apply for stays in the system, so whenever you go in for a interview they may question you about those past visa requests, they never leave the system
