I recently submitted my DS-260 with the assistance of an agent. After submission, I realized that the agent put “No” to the question: Have you ever been refused a USA visa. I was refused a visitor visa about 20 years. I told the agent about this but she still put the wrong answer there. Will that be a problem for me at the interview?

Find an EB-5 Visa Lawyer: Immigration AttorneyIt is an issue that needs to be raised, either by email now to the consulate, so you create a record (i.e. a timely retraction) or definitely at the start of your immigrant visa interview. As long as the visa refusal reason was not for any serious inadmissibility ground, it is unlikely to affect the outcome of your immigrant visa interview. Just make sure you are completely honest and upfront in all of your answers and explain that you did not intend to "omit" that information or answer incorrectly. Bring it up before the interview begins.
