It is wise to keep such papers (or copies of them) with you during your stay in the US, especially if you travel to states in the Southern US regions. Just beware of pickpockets (thieves). | |

| Sep 25, 2018 at 16:52 | comment | added | Sam Chats | Thanks a lot everyone for all this info. I'm assured now that this won't be a big deal during the interview. By the way, will the consular officer ask for my flight itinerary during the interview? I'll keep a printout with me just to be on the safe side. | |
| Sep 25, 2018 at 14:33 | comment | added | phoog | @SamChats as I understand it, you're supposed to put an "arrival city" in your DS-160 if you've made specific plans or if you can provide an estimated itinerary. Changing the travel plans is no problem by itself. Anyway, "arrival city" is arguably different than "port of entry." As long as your plans are reasonable and do not raise suspicion of deception, of status violation, or of grounds of inadmissibility, small or even large changes are no problem. Furthermore, booking a flight to NYC with a layover in Boston barely even qualifies as a change. | |

| Sep 25, 2018 at 12:48 | comment | added | Traveller | @Sam Chats Just an opinion, but if they’re going to refuse your application it would surely be for a stronger reason than planning to enter via Boston instead of New York. | |
| Sep 25, 2018 at 12:19 | comment | added | Sam Chats | But it's not approved yet, I've a pending interview. I've booked a refundable flight because it will get expensive by the time my Visa gets approved. | |
