I am a student currently in my last high school year of school. I applied for esta last year, was approved immediately and visited the US for 10 days the following month. Everything went perfect and so I was planning another 2 week trip during Easter to visit my friend in the USA, unfortunately my ESTA status had recently been changed. I applied for a b2 visa and was also denied, they told me my ESTA was status was changed due to an advert I had apparently posted of Craigslist looking for work, I did not post no such advert and tried to explain this but no success, My visa was denied under 214 (b). I want to reapply again within the following month as I already have my tickets purchased to visit the US between 20th March- 1st April. How can I make sure my visa is approved this time and assure them it was NOT me who posted any advert? Will applying for a redress via dhs trip help?

Still trying to solve this issue. I have applied for a redress via the DHS trip website and awaiting their reply.Originally posted by bikasag View Post
Also gathering documents to go for a second interview to prove my need to return (letters from work, school etc) but have not yet booked a second interview. Not sure when or if I even should until I get a reply from the trip. Not sure how to talk myself out of this one, I did not post an ad and it's very unfair.Comment

Do you have proof of your craigslist account showing that no such advertisement was posted?Originally posted by Richard055 View PostThis is strictly an opinion and should not be misconstrued as legal advice. The use of this information is strictly at your own risk.

B2 denied
Or see if you can find that post and prove it's not you. If you are able to get enough information from it then you can show it's not your information.This is my opinion not legal advice.Comment

The VO was obviously able to find it. you might try going back and asking to see the post so that you can prove it's not you. also location demographics of where it was posted could help if it's in a different area then where you were residing at the time.This is strictly an opinion and should not be misconstrued as legal advice.

Do you think I'm wasting my time going through the DHS trip progress then? Am I better to go try again in person?Originally posted by krypton9591 View PostComment
