As long as you have a full-time job, I don't see any problem to get visa. Good luck.

But my mum has filed the immigrant vias petition on my behalf.Should i tell the officer of that?

no, you shouldn't tell visa officer about your mother's status. just say you want to take a trip for some days douring holiday.

WTY123;According to what you said,I should give false information on the application form? But during the interview,the officer will check my file on the computer? If he or she finds I am lying,I won't be able to get an american visa forever.

You have to tell the visa officer the trueth, just like what you said they have record of you in their computer. But as my experience, you will most likely be refused.

Doggybag: You must have experienced the interview.You are sure that they will put the interview record in the computer?

I think so. But if you won't admit you are the same person, you will have 50% chance to get the visa, if you admit it, you will be likely refused. Since they couldn't make sure you are the same person in their record.

You'd better tell the truth. The officer will check your date of birth, etc if there is a same name in there record. You will have to pay off if they know you are lying. Show some strong proof that you will be back after holiday. They may give you a one entry visa instead of 10 year visa. Good luck.
