Having lived in multiple countries is not unusual and does not automatically cause problems. What matters most is that your entries and exits were lawful and properly documented. Immigration officials look for consistency and honesty. Clear records help explain your timeline.

You may be asked to provide police certificates or background checks from countries where you lived. These requirements depend on the application type. Preparing early avoids delays.

Your education and work history in the U.S. are also important factors. Strong compliance with past visas builds credibility. Any gaps should be clearly explained. Professional guidance can help present your story accurately.
