Different one. I can't see your concern, though.

Have them create their own accounts

 

asking for multiple "friends" confuses your account and could lead to incorrect advice down the road

I will stick to just the one account. Thank you for the "advice" though.

Mods don't like one account for multiple folks

I would agree, these friends should sign up and ask for themselves, one then they see the information and advice given first hand, plus as mentioned, sometimes asking different things all through one account can get confusing as others won't be sure which case you're asking about or if you're trying to be tricky/shady to get the advice you want to hear. It's always better one account per person per reason.

Of course you can stick to one account. The advice being recommended is to ask your friends to open their own accounts so it avoids confusion.

But everyone else got their visas from there within a week. I don't think that explains it at all. 

Who is everyone else? And did those people have the same travel history as your friend?

 

Never compare one visa to others. Each visa application is based on that individuals circumstances.

While it is good that you are trying to help your friends, it can become a little confusing with all the different scenarios from all of your friends. If you have too many posts from different friends that causes confusion among the forum it could be taken into consideration with site administrators.

A friend of mine applied for B1/B2 visa and he wasn't refused, but, put on additional administrative processing. 

I think it best to have your friend post and get responses directly. It tends to confuse when advice is transferred thru the grapevine. It starts off as one saying 'orange marmalade' and ends up as the last person hearing 'purple cabbage'.....I hope you see the point.

It can also be triggered yea by previous travel history, but it also involves still security/background checks and information verification, so could be a combo of both.

 

I don't know if there is a specific list, but traveling to like Syria will raise some questions from the embassy.

Do you know if visiting Cuba is a no no? My fiancée went on a vacation to Cuba with family some time ago and she’s from the UK.

I've heard mixed things. It used to not be okay, then Obama made it okay.. Now apparently it isn't okay or at least recommended, but people still go there so... obviously not that big of a deal. People even are petitioning fiances from Cuba right now so. Guess if any 'penalities' exist for it, no ones enforcing them. But also being it's your fiance don't think it would matter at all anyways.

It would help alleviate confusion if you mentioned that you are asking for a friend in the first post of the thread.

Agreed.  VJ members tend to look into posting history to get a more well-rounded view of the situation when answering questions so more relevant advice is given to a situation...different posts about multiple friends plus posts about actual OP can possibly lead to a lot of broken and irrelevant information coming your way as it gets very confusing for members trying to help.
