I had a 5 year USA tourist visa. It’s expired on March 2024. I want to apply to renew it. And I have the below questions:
1. I was rejected on my first visa application. Then approved when I had more paperwork. So do I say “yes” to question "have you ever been refused a visa, port of entry etc.. question on ds160 . I read that rejected and denied are not the same and I needed help getting more clarification.
2. I served as a doctor in the my country's army and discharged due to a medical condition. Do I have to say yes to question if I have served in an army given I was mostly going to the clinic to get my medical exemption?
3- how long does the renewal process take, I know on the site it says 6 weeks but I heard people got it within the same week of delivering the documents.
4- what to answer on specific plans to the US , and intended time of arrival and length of stay.
5- social media presence I put my facebook account ( is there any necessary need to put in other platforms)
6- Lastly, I have already submitted my application, is there a way to go back to edit previous submissions, or can I create a new application. (do I make a new one immediately or shall I wait for the previous application to expire)
Any additional information provided will be much appreciated.
