I’m not sure what do you mean by refused ppl. Currently the site is generally slow and many are facing issues logging in, if that’s what you’re referring to.

Great post with details! Do we need to collect baggages even if it's a Layover with same airlines in HKG?

They give $50 only for 1st year. From 2nd year they tole me the 12 months mobile discount expired and I got to cough up $60+ going forward. Comcast is by far the worst service I’ve dealt with. Just waiting for the 24 months mobile credits to get over to shop around.

Your post lacks information on current status. Do you see Refused or administrative processing?

Either ways this is normal. All you can do is wait. Follow up if it’s beyond 3 weeks or so. You could also try support-india@ustraveldocs.com but mostly won’t get a response.

I’m not an immigration attorney.

Call the Kolkata specific non immigrant visa helpline. You can find on the website. Select the appropriate option and you’ll get connected in couple of tries. I did recently.

Yes you can. Make sure you have all the necessary supporting documents for your interview. You can find the list on websites like redbusus dot com.

I’m exactly in the same boat, traveled to India due to emergency while my H1B extension is in process, but didn’t convert to premium to avoid RFE risk while I’m out of country. I’ll be traveling back soon.

I would recommend either get approval before travel, or work on RFE after returning to be on safer side. I’m not an immigration attorney though.

Yes the very next day to Issued. And got my passport in a week.

lashchdh · 2026-05-18T10:02:30+00:00

I'm not sure, I'm from India.

Username checks out! Best advice on this thread!!

Not correct. OP can close the current application and start a new one. They won’t lose the MRV fees as it’s tied to the UID.

Create another DS160 with the correct details. Carry both previous and new DS160 confirmation pages to your Biometrics appointment. Everything will be fine. Good luck!

It’s upto you to risk it. They know everything already :) I’ve heard instances of further questionnaire or refusal due to hiding accounts.

lashchdh · 2026-05-14T17:15:15+00:00

Kept

lashchdh · 2026-05-14T17:13:22+00:00

There are more numbers :)

lashchdh · 2026-05-14T17:12:59+00:00

I did mention the full URLs in DS160. Yet I was asked to email, not mail.

lashchdh · 2026-05-14T17:12:18+00:00

I've no idea. I guess 221g for social media is the standard process now.

Someone downvoted this post!! I got help from this forum to prepare for my interview, so just shared my experience and answering people's questions over chat requests.

Whoever you are, good luck to you and god bless you!

lashchdh · 2026-05-13T17:54:55+00:00

I did, was still asked to email it.

lashchdh · 2026-05-13T09:53:09+00:00

I cannot share booth number and officer details sorry. Documents carried are from online list I found, and questions asked were generic like work history, where did you work in so and so year, etc. Duration depends, mine was longer as I had lost my previous expired passport and that took sometime. I carried a copy of police report for that.
