Re: B2 Interview next week, arrest included need help!

as far as the overstay when i was underage and travelled by myself for skying and concerts, this took place 12 years go, should I explain everything on the ds-160 or just say Overstayed WVP? Theres a question where they ask if you stayed unlawfully in th states and I assume overstaying automatically triggers a yes to that question right?

YES. You were NOT guilty. The offence is therefore only 'alleged'.

If that's the case, I would put "I was charged for allegedly carrying a firearm; charges were dropped and case was dismissed."

I've already given you the format that I think is best. You can either accept my advice or choose your own wording, it's entirely up to you.

You will be able to explain the allegation in full at your interview, there's no need to over elaborate at this stage. As Ian has pointed out, the "why" isn't really important right now.

You're going to get an email from the Embassy soon after submitting the DS-160 asking you to complete a VCU-1 where they will request all this evidence.

Just follow the guidance that's been written here previously, complete the form, then go from there when they get in contact.

I don't understand why you're asking how to fill out the DS-160 if it's already been submitted.

Too late now, unless you want more cost & a later appointment. What was wrong with the original DS-160?
