Can somebdy assure me it's gonna be alright?!!!!

Published

Got a big WORRY. About 6 yrs ago I applied for and was granted a tourist visa. I wasn't very honest though with my data. I claimed that didnt have any relatives in the US when in fact my parents and 4 sisters had been there as immigrants. I also said I had a daughter. Now, I'm really really worried. How are these things going to affect my papers when eventually I will be sponsored by an employer? Does the immigration or whoever have access to the application form I filed before for a tourist visa? i hope not, I pray not.

hi jon_29. i honestly don't know. are you planning for consular processing (in the philippines) right now? i think the more important question to ask is if you've ever overstayed your tourist visa. i think it's quite extreme that they dig up old paperwork.

can anyone who's been to the US share what questions they asked during interview?

Sorry, but I think you might have some problems.

Never lie like that to INS or to BON.

Really sorry ( I know , it's not what you want to hear).

No I didn't overstay in the US. I asked for an extension and it was approved. Back then all I wanted was that tourist visa. I had no inkling I'd like to live there much less get into nursing but obviously, everything has changed. Like all of you here, I too want to become an immigrant. But if I'll get denied later on because of my past indiscretion, what's the pont of proceeding with all thse CES, English, NCLEX tests...

Is it when you asked for an extension in US that you did not tell the truth or when you were still in the Philippines when applying for a tourist visa?

You REALLY need to talk to an immigration lawyer. Only he/she would be able to give you factual info or put you at ease.

Maybe there is an option for you after passing NCLEX to go to US again as tourist and just apply for an adjustment of status(not recommended though). I think INS don't have an access to your "lied" application papers because the copy of it is in your home country(US embassy). INS and US embassy are different offices.
