Uscis

[samneil10 6]

I recently tried to access my b2 tourist visa record from the uscis by filling a form there. I got an email saying nothing was found or mayb i needed to fill in more details. So i dint proceed further.

My query is that will the american embassy in my country of residence know about this when i reapply again for a b2 visa? And will it have any repercussions?

A little confusing, are you asking if a query of your B2 history will impact an upcoming application?  Assuming so, I don't think so.

 

Good Luck!

Yes , any help would be appreciated.  I am little worried as i have to renew my b2 visa.  I was told to check my immigration record on uscis but i guess they could not locate anything or i was looking at the wrong place. I was wondering if the usa embassy would know about me requesting for b2 immigration record and if that would affect my future visa application?

That's because USCIS does not govern the embassies. It's the Department of Homeland Security the one that grants/denies visas. Check their website.

Ok but that doesnt answer my question as to whether its going to be an issue for future visa application?

What immigration record?  B2 is nonimmigrant, and under jurisdiction of dept of state.

Your future ability to renew B2 visas is absolutely impacted by your travel/stay/overstay record, yes.

Department of State, not Department of Homeland Security.

I hv travelled twice without any overstay record , plus i have a good travel history to a lot places except Europe and uk

It was just that i was bothered about the thought that accessing information through uscis would be an issue for a future visa application

It is reasonable to assume that the American Embassy in your country of residence will have access to any past visa applications or grants.  

 

If you haven't done anything wrong in the past, then it doesn't matter.  

 

I could see them asking you to confirm you had a visa in the past, and asking you what visits you did during that visa, just to make sure what they see on the system matches what you say.  But there shouldn't be any repercussions if you're honest with them and have nothing to hide.

 

Do make sure you have everything they ask for.  If they ask you why you didn't have all your information on the previous visa, you can honestly tell them that you tried to obtain it but couldn't.

Thank you vicky's mom for the information but my question still persists as to whether accessing info from the USCIS will be known to the US embassy ? I asked chatgpt and it said asking for i94 from uscis isnt illegal and its perfectly confidential as in noone will know i accessed the USCIS

Not sure what you're getting at here, but I-94 info is accessible to you, and it is intended to be.

 

If you're asking whether the various agencies involved in US immigration communicate with one another, the answer is obviously YES.

So i kinda feel i made a mistake by going to the uscis instead is should have checked cbp for i94. I dont want the us embassy to think i was trying to apply for a green card there or any such thing

I did get an email from the uscis saying they couldnt locate anything on my information and i have deleted my account.

I really don't get what the problem is here. It is perfectly fine to request information about a previous visa. Asking for that information has no effect whatsoever on a new visa application.

You are right . Mayb i was overthinking. I thought the usa embassy would think i used the uscis website to apply for a green card or something

The only thing that could be an issue is if you applied for any USCIS forms online - I-130, I-134A, N-400, etc.

 

Checking for immigration records is not a red flag.  Checking your I-94 is not a red flag.

 

At worst, they may ask about it at the B2 renewal interview, if the interview is not waived.  You would just answer honestly - that you thought that was where you checked for B2 visitor status.
