The Bronx, NY asked in Immigration Law for New York

Q: Can my girlfriend change the host name and address in her B2 visa application.

When I met my girlfriend from outside the US, she had already set an appointment for her visa interview and added a friend who she’s no longer in contact with. I’d like to change the host to me in the application. Is this possible and is it safe?

A: If your girlfriend has not yet attended the visa interview, she may be able to update the host information in her B2 visa application. However, it's important to note that any changes to the visa application may result in additional scrutiny by the consular officer during the interview. It's important to ensure that the information provided in the visa application is truthful and accurate. If your girlfriend has already attended the visa interview and the visa has been issued, it may be more difficult to change the host information. In this case, she may need to apply for a new visa with updated information. It's important to consult with a qualified immigration attorney for guidance on the best course of action.
