share them then? I literally have my passport here and every other American on here says otherwise

@Carsten ***********

That is incorrect. I just looked at mine to confirm, it says the state and then USA. The city is not listed

- His information is correct. US passports do not list city of birth but instead only list the state. However, the application asks for city. He is asking if he should list city as requested or instead list the state, as is on the passport

Unfortunately they don’t care about salary. They want to see you have the funds in your bank account

@Paul ******

- There was a post recently where a Chinese individual (not sure if Chinese national) listed one of their first names under first name and their second first name under middle name and the embassy rejected it, saying as a Chinese person, they have two first names and no middle name. Even in western countries one can have more than 1 first name. For example, I have a relative with first name Marry Ann but she then has a separate middle name. Unlike my passport which only shows given name and surname, the application asks for first name, middle name and family name all separate

Correct

@Charlène ********

- Let’s be clear, it isn’t following rules, but following the law. Yes, people break laws often, but there is always a risk associated with it. What you are suggesting is to work here illegally. Many cases of individuals being caught and arrested for this.

Unfortunately you can’t appeal. What did you write as your middle name? I assume you don’t have one, but have two first names.
