captain247: We cannot comment on the specific facts of your case but the basic requirements and purposes of the D visa have not changed. A D visa is for foreign crewmebers serving onboard or transiting to a ship (in which case a C1/D visa is used) in a US port. The visa is intended to allow crewmen to operate in and around their ships while in a US port . In order to qualify for D status a crewman must intend to depart the United States within 29 days on either the ship they arrived on or another craft. D visas are not intended to facilitate personal travel for crewman. Many crewman, however, may qualify for a B1/B2 and often apply for one at the same time as they are applying for a C or D visa. |

sintosgold: We cannot comment on the specific facts of your case or your specific chances of obtaining a visa at this time. However, you should feel free to apply for a visa and simply doclose your residence and place of work on your application. Residing or working in Dubai is not a bar to applying for a visa. That information is simply one of the factors involved in the process of determining your eligability for your visa and we cannot know what effect, if any, it will have on the ultimate decision. 1 Like |

jayoy: This is why we do not encourage people to use agents to fill out their forms. These mistakes often lead to problems at the adjudication window. First if there is a mistake in your DS-160 please disclose this fact as soon as possible during your interview. If asked wheter or not you used an agent or anyone elase assisted you completing your form you need to be completely honest with the consular officer. Good luck 1 Like |

kossyprincess: First, you do not need an invitation to travel to the United States. In fact not only do you not need an invitation, but if you bring the invitation to the US Embassy or consulate, we will not, in all probability, look at it. Second, we understand that mistakes are made on your application and that your personal informatuion will change over time leading to additional changes in future applications. While we cannot comment on your specific case our advice to all concerned is to simply be honest when you fill out your application, and be prepared to answer any questions concerning the change when you are at your next interview. If you made a mistake, be honest and admit you made a mistake. |

Ifynoble100: We cannot comment on the specifics of your application. However you may certainly apply for a student visa even if you have previously been denied a b1/b2 visa. Your application will be evaluated to determine if you qualify for a student visa by meeting the requirements as established by U.S. Law. Best of Luck Abuja NIV |

Please VO i need help, my husband is in USA and in military, he has applied I-130 for me, I went for inteerview and was not given a VISA rather I was told it will go into administrative processing, so since that last year September it has been undergoing administrative processing. And now I've applied for school to study nursing, my fear now is if I go for interview and was asked about my tie to Nigeria, obviously my husband is in US and its been noted I want to join my husband, starting school is one of the early thing my husband and I want and instead of waiting for administrative processing which we knows not when it will be ready, we decide we go by student and I start my school immediately, so how do I overcome this and is that going to be a problem, will I be given a VISA, knowing well my sponsor is my husband and the only thought of me coming back is if I finish my school and my I-130 is not yet ready then I will go back, please advice me on what to do on this issue. Thanks |

Arnold4all: We cannot comment on your specific case. Occasionally visa applications do require additional processing for a variety of reasons and depending on the circumstances of each individual case the time needed to complete the additional process can range from a matter of days to a matter of months. As to your question, you are free to apply for a student visa and the fact that you have another pending application is only one of many factors that will be considered in adjudicating your case. Your application for a student visa will be considered based on your ability to satisfy the requirements for a student. That said if the same conditions that led to the additional processing are present with your student visa application there is a chance your student visa application may also require additional processing. Good Luck, ABUJA NIV |

toksys: If your wife is a British Citizen she may certainly utilize ESTA which is a very convenient option. You on the other hand, as a Nigerian Citizen, will need to apply to through the normal process and schedule an appointment for an interview at the US Embassy in Abuja or the US Consulate in Lagos. Your wife does not need to appear with you at your interview unless she is applying for a visa herself, in which case you are welcome to schedule a tandem interview. Good Luck Abuja NIV |

davton69: Although we take steps to minimize wait times and accommodate as many visa applicants as possible, the reality is that every summer sees a dramatic increase in the number of student and tourist visa applications. Unfortunately, there are physical limits to the number of applicants we can accommodate in our offices each day and we are presently at maximum capacity. Therefore, were urge applicants to apply as early as possible in order to ensure they have enough time to obtain a visa prior to their date of travel. Regards, ABUJA NIV |

Hello house! My husband is a LPR and he just left for the US some months ago to live there permanently. He hasn't started filing for me but he'll start any moment from now. I am pregnant and I want to know if I can apply for a B1\B2 visa to deliver and return to Nigeria while we wait for the petition to come through. Apart from the fact that my husband will want to witness the birth of our child, I also need some expert care due to some health conditions. My health and that of the baby are my priorities. My husband's presence and the citizenship of our baby will be added advantage. I'll be glad to read your responses. Thanks and God bless. |

dortex4real: In most cases a B1/B2 visa is valid for travel at any time during its two year validity period provided that no single visit can last longer than 180 days. While Visa officers routinely ask about your purpose of travel that is simply to determine things such as your eligibility for the visa or to verify you are applying for the right kind of visa. In your case if the question arises simply be prepared to explain why the date of your leave is now different from what you listed in your application. Regards, ABUJA NIV |
| Re: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening by abujaniv: 7:32am On Jun 23, 2016 |
msoloye: You are certainly free to apply for a B1/B2 visa for the purpose of giving birth and you may do so regardless of whether your husband has filed a petition on your behalf to obtain LPR status. As we have said many times before giving birth in the United States is allowed however, being less than honest about your intentions can result in some very serious ramifications. In order to give birth the Visa Officer will need to determine that you qualify for a B1/B2 visa, that you have established a relationship with a US medical provider, that you have a condition that necessitates medical travel to United States and that you have the financial wherewithal to pay for the medical treatment at the time the medical services are provided. You should also be prepared to discuss your intent to become a long term resident and the status of your petition at the time of the interview. |

Legit7079: We cannot comment on the specifics of your case and do not have enough information to determine why you received those instructions. However, we use DHL to provide delivery services for our office and in certain circumstances encourage people to drop off documents with DHL as a matter of convenience for the applicant and to eliminate the need to request an appointment or make a trip to the Embassy. Simply follow the instructions in the document and we should be able to continue processing your application. |

mzjennypher: We understand that mistakes can happen when you fill out your application. Usually this is not an issue provided you disclose that it is a mistake if and when the subject comes up. If you believe it will be a potential problem you are certainly free to point this out to the Visa Officer at the beginning of the interview. Regards ABUJA NIV |

Good morning to the vo and wonderful members of this thread. I have a quick one here, i know you do not give odds and don't look at documents but i would love you to give a general view concerning what i am going to ask. Young people, say like 25 years even with jobs here, family, social & cultural ties and with good intent of going for vacation and returning are still refused visas with the same excuses. Please shed light on why this is so. Thanks |
| Re: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening by msoloye: 10:30am On Jun 23, 2016 |
Thanks VO, I really appreciate. God bless you. I want to know if I need to bring medical reports from the hospital I use here in Nigeria. I also want to know if my mum who's a doctor and has a full knowledge of my medical history needs to apply with me as she intends travelling with me if issued the visa to render some assistance especially after my delivery. |

Petaocky: We cannot comment on your particular case nor can we make any predictions as to your status. Each case is adjudicated on its own merits and a prior refusal does not preclude you from filing another application. |
| Re: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening by abujaniv: 1:38pm On Jun 23, 2016 |
kcluv2men: We consider all cases independently and have a considerable amount of information available during the adjudication process enabling the consular officer to consider a wide range of factors in adjudicating each case. Each case is considered solely on its merits and applied to requirements needed to issue a visa under U.S. Immigration law. |
| Re: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening by abujaniv: 1:58pm On Jun 23, 2016 |
msoloye: You are free to bring any documentation you believe may support your application for a US visa and your mother is certainly free to accompany you, however she does not need to be present unless she is applying for a visa herself and has an appointment. I will caution you that except for a few limited exceptions we generally do not review documents so do not be surprised if the visa officer declines to review your documentation. If you are seeking a visa for medical treatment, we recommend that you bring documents showing you have established a relationship with a US medical provider including an estimated cost of treatment, documentation from your current medical provider explaining the need for medical treatment and be prepared to show you have the financial wherewithal to pay for your medical treatment at the time the service is provided. |
