USA VISA INTERVIEWS

New 1 My B1/2 visa was rejected last year since then I have made good travel history. Will it increase my chances for B1/2 visa this time? When it comes to applying for a B1 or a B2 visa, it's always important to make sure you have an accurate and up-to-date travel history, as this plays a huge role in the approval process.That being said, even if you have a good travel history since your last rejection, there are still many other factors that the visa officer will take into consideration. These factors could include your employment status, ties to the country of origin, criminal record, and financial stability. Unfortunately, there's no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as each application is looked at on a case-by-case basis. The best thing to do is to make sure that you've provided the visa officer with all the necessary information and documentation in order to make your case as strong as possible. 2 I came to the US legally and I’m currently overstayed. Now I have an employer from Canada who is willing to sponsor a work permit. Do I have a chance to move to Canada with my current status in the US? Here is the issue. You are currently illegally in the U.S. You want to apply to Canada for a work permit in order to accept a job in Canada. For the record, a Canadian employer does not ‘sponsor’ you into Canada. If you have a job offer, you must apply for a work permit, which is a form of temporary residence visa (TRV). But you can only apply to Immigration Canada from a country in which you are legally residing. If you are not legally in the U.S., you cannot apply for a TRV in Canada. Therefore, you must apply to IRCC from a country in which you are a legal resident. Your decision to overstay may also create a problem when applying to Canada because Canada and the U.S. share immigration data. All five countries in the FYEY network share immigration data. Nicknamed the Five Eyes, that network includes Canada, the U.S., Australia, New Zealand, and the U.K. A history of overstaying in one five eyes country can keep you out of every five eyes country. 3 How does the US embassy detect fake information when people are applying for a visa? Most lies and liars are amazingly transparent. To a trained and experienced embassy official, they can spot them a mile away. But in addition, the US has impressive access to data worldwide, and computers which can process it very quickly. You may have heard of the term “big data”. It refers the fact that we are able to amass huge amounts of seemingly unrelated facts, give it to a computer, and come up with some correlations nobody ever expected. In terms of immigration processing, what this allows the US to do is check the visa applicant’s data against a world-wide database that shows correlations that never would have been noticed 50 years ago. Suspect statements are then subjected to confirmation, and if they can’t be confirmed, the application will be denied. This is politely called “administrative processing”. It’s the security check. Sometimes confirmation can take a long time, especially if it requires the cooperation of a foreign entity that is bureaucratic, slow, or non-cooperative. For this reason, its best not to volunteer too much information - you might inadvertently cause an unnecessary confirmation. But any absence of required data, or answers that don’t quite match what is in the database, will surely cause a problem. Outright lies? They are easily caught. 4 Can I get US citizenship by adopting a child in the US? “Can I get US citizenship by adopting a child in the US?” The short answer to your question is no. A longer answer is yes, If you should adopt a US citizen child in the US, then when that child turns 21 and if s/he is living permanently in the US, s/he can petition for immigration for you. After some years as a legal permanent resident, you could apply for citizenship. 5 What is i130 for in the US? If I’m on b1b2, can I file i130 and stay for a long time legal? The I-130 is the petition for an alien relative of a US citizen or legal permanent resident. It has nothing to do with you and your B1/B2 visa. Petition for Alien Relative 6 Dear sir, I want to know from you that. Does a person who is a social security Card holder will help a persons offspring's to get a USA visa. Does social security card has a leverage for his children when they apply for USA visiting or living? “Dear sir, I want to know from you that. Does a person who is a social security Card holder will help a persons offspring's to get a USA visa. Does social security card has a leverage for his children when they apply for USA visiting or living?” No to both of your questions. 7 Are husbands and wives B1/B2 visas separate after stamping their passports? “Are husbands and wives B1/B2 visas separate after stamping their passports?” Every person who will visit the US and requires a visa will have that visa ‘stamped’ in his or her own individual passport. Yes, they are separate visas in separate passports for separate individuals. And yes, each person can and may travel separately, carrying his/her own visa-ed passport. 8 Can a US Citizen get help from the US Embassy in Brazil even if they entered the country on a different passport (Italian) because they wanted to avoid the new travel visa requirements imposed on US citizens? “Can a US Citizen get help from the US Embassy in Brazil even if they entered the country on a different passport (Italian) because they wanted to avoid the new travel visa requirements imposed on US citizens?” 9 Yes, of course. A US citizen is entitled to US consular assistance everywhere in the world, no matter what crime they have committed, let alone doing anything as sensible and non-illegal as saving money and hassle by using another passport that they are also, equally, entitled to. Can I enter Canada with a visitor visa and then disappear? NO, DON’T try that. Canada is one of the very few countries on the globe where it is almost impossible to “disappear” and live on. I will give you only three letters: SIN (Social Insurance Number) No SIN = no housing, no job of any kind, no job search, no banking, no credit, no paycheque, no car purchase, no driver’s licence, no schooling or training, no health care, no social services of any kind, shape or form, no possibility to - ever - become legitimized. You are truly a waif, a non-existing person without any base or foundation to live on at all. So, you say, why is it so easy to “disappear” in USA? Big difference, they aren’t using SSN (Social Security Number) the way we use our SIN. In USA you will be arrested “if” you are found. In Canada, you will be sought after, arrested and deported sooner than you can possibly imagine. Your employer, if you are found working, will also be arrested and subject to a jail term. - This is one HUGE disincentive to hire anyone who doesn’t have a SIN number. Plus, you cannot get a visitor’s permit to come to Canada in the first place if there is even a hint that you intend to “come to stay”. Our immigration officers are pretty good at ferreting out and denying these applications.

Your immigration to Canada as a permanent resident through the Express Entry system will be greatly influenced by your profile.

You will need to score at least 67 points under various eligibility criteria to apply for a Canada PR visa through Express Entry. Your application will be assessed on a points-based system depending on the below 6 factors:

Factor 1: AGE

Factor 4: LANGUAGE SKILLS
Factor 5: ARRANGED EMPLOYMENT IN CANADA [LMIA approved ]

Points will be awarded to applicants for their age. They can obtain a maximum 12 points. The age calculation is done from the day your application is received.

EDUCATION – MAXIMUM 25 POINTS

You can score a maximum 25 Canada immigration points for your education. If you have an overseas education, you must have an ECA report from an authorized agency. The Educational Credential Assessment report evaluates whether your overseas degrees/diplomas are on par with a Canadian education.

EXPERIENCE – MAXIMUM 15 POINTS

Canada immigration points will also be incurred for your work experience. You can obtain points for the number of years you worked full-time that was paid and a minimum 30 hours weekly. An equal amount of part-time work is also eligible. You can obtain a maximum 15 points for this factor, as quoted by Canada.

LANGUAGE SKILLS – MAXIMUM 28 POINTS

Knowledge of English and or French will help you to fetch points for PR eligibility; it is one of the core factors of eligibility; the more you score, the chances would be higher to secure an invite from Canada. You can obtain a maximum of 28 points for your language skills assessed for writing, reading, listening, and speaking.

*Ace your scores in IELTS and PTE by availing of Rumi Visa Consultants Coaching services.

ARRANGED EMPLOYMENT IN CANADA – MAXIMUM 10 POINTS

You can also obtain Canada immigration points for a job offer of a minimum 1 year from an employer in Canada. You must get this offer prior to submitting an application for arriving in Canada as a federal skilled worker.

ADAPTABILITY – MAXIMUM 10 POINTS

You will be offered points based on your past study, work, and relatives in Canada. Your Common-Law-Partner or Spouse if immigrating to Canada with you can also incur additional points under the adaptability factor.

IRCC conducts draws from the Express Entry pool from time to time. It is the highest-ranked, based on their score on the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), that are issued invitations to apply under Express Entry.

The minimum CRS cutoff varies. Candidate’s factors, such as age, work experience, adaptability, etc. determine your CRS score. If your CRS is low, then there are several ways how to improve your score.

WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR CRS SCORE

The Express Entry draw is conducted at regular intervals, so there is always a chance for you to improve your CRS scores. You can always find ways to improve your CRS score so that you get the required points to secure an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for the PR visa in the next Express Entry draw.

Here are expert tips to improve your CRS score:

- BOOST YOUR LANGUAGE SCORE:
  
  Score well in language tests such as the IELTS, and your CRS score will improve. For example, in the language test, if you score a Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) of 9, you’ll get up to 136 direct points added to your CRS ranking. Appearing for a language test in French can also add up to 74 points.
- PROVINCIAL NOMINEE PROGRAM:
  
  if you receive an invitation, you will receive 600 additional points for your Express Entry profile.
- GET A WORK OFFER [LMIA Approved]:
  
  If you receive a work offer recognized by the Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) from an employer in Canada, you can add up to 200 points to your CRS ranking.
- GET AN EDUCATION IN CANADA:
  
  Up to 30 extra points can be received if you complete a recognized degree or diploma in Canada.
- DEPENDENT INCLUDED IN THE APPLICATION (Spouse/Common-Law Partner)
  
  Applying with your spouse for the visa will earn you both additional points. The language proficiency of your spouse would be worth 20 points, while the education level and Canadian work experience can earn you as much as 10 points for each category. So, this will add up to 40 points to your CRS score.
- CANADIAN WORK EXPERIENCE:
  
  If you have fewer than three years of full-time work experience and if you continue to work, you can add a maximum of 153 points to your CRS score.
