Your past divorce in 2012 should not affect your visa application to the USA. Indian law does not recognize “mutual understanding” as a legal basis for divorce, so you would have likely obtained a divorce through a court order. The US immigration authorities primarily focus on the legal status of your current marital situation.

I fell prey to a scam related to my Canada work permit and visa. I borrowed around ₹2.5 lakhs from seven different banks in India and completed all the procedures they asked for. But when I reached the Delhi immigration office for my appointment, the counselor confirmed it was a fraud. I’m devastated and deeply regret this huge mistake. Unfortunately, I can’t afford a lawyer. Can someone please advise me on what I should do next?

My US tourist visa application was rejected twice, even though I presented relevant documents. I’m an Indian citizen and my husband is a Canadian permanent resident. I need to travel to the US to take the USMLE Step 2 CS exam, which is only offered in the US. The visa officer cited Section 214(b) and mentioned my husband’s Canadian residency as a reason for denial. I applied from India both times. What should I do? I’m flying to Canada next week. Should I apply for a US visa from Canada?

My friend, married to an Indian man in Goa, lived with him in Germany. He later used her for a visa, leading to their divorce. Despite this, she continued using her PIO card to visit India as a tourist, never working or exceeding 180 days in the country. She was unaware of the need to report her divorce or the PIO’s invalidity after it. The embassy didn’t inform her about surrendering the PIO. Now, with the PIO scheme ending, she wants a tourist visa. Worried about potential consequences from using the PIO after her divorce, she’s concerned about her tourist visa application being rejected. Will there be any issues with her previous use of the PIO card?

Hi, I recently completed my Master’s in the UK and am working in India now. I consulted with an immigration advisor who suggested a freelancer (who claims to be a lawyer) to help me secure a UK job interview and visa. She’s asking for ₹5 lakh, promising a full refund if unsuccessful. Should I proceed? How can I verify her credibility? What should I look for in an agreement? I’d appreciate your advice.

My wife and I have been travelling to the UK for the past 5 years to visit our three children who live there. Our eldest daughter is a UK citizen, our son is settled, and our younger daughter has a work permit. We’ve been visiting regularly since 2011, and recently applied for a 10-year long-term visa. However, our application was refused. The visa officer said we’ve been staying longer than the time we mentioned in our application. For instance, we stated we’d stay for 30 days, but ended up returning to India after 5 months. Even though we’ve never exceeded the 180-day limit mentioned on the UK Home Office website, our application was rejected without any chance to appeal. What should we do now? Should we try submitting a new application?
