B1/B2 Visa interview after rejected ESTA

Hi all,

Was just wondering if anyone is out there who has had a similar situation to me/can offer me any insight into their experience...I applied for an ESTA however got my dates mixed up and ticked 'yes' to the question if you've been to Iraq, Iran etc. I went to Iraq in 2008 however thought I went in 2012 (which was when I travelled to Egypt) and was instantly rejected. I can't ammend my answer (having already contacted the CBP) so re-applied for a second ESTA which also got rejected. Stupidly I lost my passport in between applying for the second ESTA so the second ESTA is on a new passport. I've now applied for a visitor visa, as it's clear I won't be able to travel under an ESTA, and I'm certain that when I go for my interview my officer will have already done a background check and looked at my ESTA application. I'm watching a few vids on YT to see what kind of questions I will be asked, but I was wondering if anyone has been in this situation and what kind of questions they may ask me in reference to my Iraq trip? I'm worried because a) I lost my passport which may now seem suspicious, but my passport didn't have my Iraq stamp in it anyway because I went in 2008 and b) I have no proof of my trip from 2008, we don't have any paper tickets, or passport to prove I went in 2008 and not 2012 as I said on my form and I'm worried that as I have nothing to disprove that, this may cause red flags for the interviewing officer. If anyone has been in a similar position and can shed light on what kind of questions they were asked etc that would be really helpful!

​

Thanks

NVC Case FE Review note

Hi everyone, my family and I are under the F3 category and we just received a notice from NVC that our documents have been approved and that we are Documentarily Qualified. My only concern is this message that we received today in addition to the acceptance: ​ " [Name of petitioner] does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants for this case. The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview. For more information, please visit https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p . To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 for a joint sponsor may be submitted." ​ We already have a petitioner and a household sponsor (the household sponsor's income is above the required level), but still unsure why we received this. Has anyone else received this message? All of our documents say "Approved" on NVC. Does this mean we have to find another sponsor? Can we show the consular officer our

DS-260 Have you ever attended any educational institutions at a secondary level or above?

Ok so I’m not sure what to put down here, I have a high school diploma and currently attending college! So for the occupation part for a previous question I put down the school I go to and address, however I am uncertain what to put down here, I put my high school start and end date but do I also include the college? Because it says highest level of education COMPLETED but also in the drop down menu there is an option that says UNIVERSITY,NO DEGREE which if I do choose then I will have to fill out the school information and then a start date and an end date which I still do not know this is the only question I’m struggling will and have looked into it but no straightforward answer! I hope you guys can help submitted by /u/AlarmingUmpire3 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/immigration/comments/j2eni9/ds260_have_you_ever_attended_any_educational/
