ebjay:

Thank u sir.

I applied in April this year... is it too recent to apply again.

What do u mean something changing in my life... still working in the same company i have worked in for the last 5 years, still not married.. does it mean I shouldn't bother reapplying or can I do hotel reservations and apply again?

Is it also safe to say the chances for young single pple to visit the US r slim

Thanks

olivialuv: Sir,
I am one of the selected winer of 2014 dv , am married with a kid I submitted my form omitting my wife ds230 and my kid so I later send the copy again after 2weeks and I attached a written letter of what happen I attached passport of both of them, pls , will this affect the process

sinie: Dear VO,

Thank you for this opportunity.

I have been wanting to travel to the USA, just to see the place, and maybe visit a few relatives. However, I've been discouraged by the stories I hear about visas being denied (I hate rejection ).

I have a good job, and so does my husband so the likelihood of absconding is just not existent.

But, I have never travelled outside Nigeria and I think it's silly to visit places like South Africa, Dubai e.t.c in a bid to appear well travelled, just to get a US visa (people do that you know ). The only place I really want to visit is the US.

My question is, what are the chances of getting a visa for someone who has NEVER been outside Nigeria Especially when I have no special reason for travelling (except for sightseeing)

Daresh:

You don't have to have visited anywhere else. The first country I ever went to was the USA. I had never been anywhere else, not Ghana, Cotonou, Dubai, no where else. I applied and got a visa. If I had listened to what other ppl told me I would never have applied. And because of my US visa, getting visas to other countries is now a piece of cake.

VisaOfficer: This is my public service message of the day:

TOUTS DON'T CARE IF YOU GET A VISA OR NOT. They just want your money. The fake documents they give you may be completely obvious fakes, and you will have no way of knowing that, and we can tell at a glance, and the touts don't care. Sometimes they forget and send TWO people, both falsely claiming to be the same person, to the same visa interview.

You can be permanently banned from the United States, and even arrested, if you submit fake documents. It's not worth it!

bettymafy:

What reason did u give the Co for going to the US and what category of visa were u granted?

justwise: @Opoki

Those individuals should ask those questions themselves, if they are serving ban then tough, its part of the punishment.

Daresh:

Medical reasons and I got a B1/B2 visa.

sara2007: Dear VO, this is my visa rejection experience. I applied for a visa earlier this year (with my one year old son). I wanted to sight see and shop for clothes for my kids. I have a stable job, husband and 4 kids. I was a 38 year old first time US visa applicant. I had travelled to europe 2 years earlier. We did not get the visa. I still wonder why. I applied in march for a july trip. Did my intention to travel with my son hurt my chances? I was really miffed. I told myself that I would never apply for a US visa again, but you know, we are talking about America. I have been reading and hearing about it all my life, visiting America is on my Bucket list. I think I owe it to myself to try one more time. Some people say getting a US visa is like a lottery, a person may be qualified for a visa but may not get one due to several reasons eg visa quota for the week is used up, VO bad mood etc. Is this true? I intend to try again, on my own (around feb next year cos baby will be old enough to stay at home without mom for a few days). Any advice?

Seguneji: Visa officer, I am a lucky winner of 2014 dv lottery wit case number 2014AF000147xx and I ve submitted my forms on the 25th of may. When can my like month of interview be. Thanks

joxiri: @ visaofficer
I want to renew my us visa before or when it applies in december, I have previously applied for both us visas I have from london whilst I was a student and on a work visa, however now I only have a visiting visa, I know its possible to apply from the uk with a visiting visa.

Can I renew the visa before it expires and what would be my chances of getting it in the uk , I do have a lot of ties to the uk as all my family reside there, I don't want to apply from nigeria because I have heard too many bad stories and I would rather not apply than risk it, when I have applied from london its always been straightforward and fair and unfortunately same cannot be said of applying from nigeria.

Any input would be kindly appreciated

VisaOfficer:

Sorry, I misread your original post. All you need to qualify from an academic point of view is a high school diploma, so he should be all right there.

olukemiyemi: Hi Visaofficer. My husband and I are applying for a US visa for a short visit online. He has filled in his information as the primary applicant and stated that I will be accompanying him. We didn't see any part of the form that allows him to fill in my details apart from my name. Isn't this required, we already made payments for the 2 of us.
