We do not require any specific documents, but you should bring anything with you that you believe will help you to demonstrate that you have strong enough ties to Nigeria to compel a timely return.

I don't know if am allowed to respond to your question. I had the same circumstance as you and I had to reapply for F1 visa with my wife and son. We got our F1 and F2 visas. I think it's better for you to reapply as change of status is not as easy as some people portray it to be. The in-house VO can shed more light.

Good day guys. Pls I want to no, how can I start a US visa application process, I do not wanna go through any agent, I really wish to do it myself. Pls I need a detailed step by step application process. Thanks

Good morng VO! Pls, if someone applied for visa through dvlottery and the consular issued this to the beneficiary which is the Husband to denied their visa"Section 212(a)(6) C1". What does that mean? Does it mean that the person can never get entry into US again for ever? Pls explain what is meant by that section! Thanks!

We don't require invitation letters for non-immigrant visas. You should have chosen the visa type when you applied, but it's likely B1/B2. You can visit our web site for more information: http://nigeria.usembassy.gov

We agree with our fellow Nairalander. If you are going to study, you should apply for the F1 in advance.

You can find more information here: http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/87011.pdf. It does mean lifetime inadmissibility, unless a waiver is obtained.

Please i want to ask while filling my form I stated I will be visiting a state and the ticket to the state direct flight is quite expensive and I got to know I can buy a cheap ticket to ny and move to the stated state hope I won't have issue at the point of entry?

Hello VO, how u doing? Just wanted your advice on something. My parents travelled to the US a lot in the 1980's as they did other countries but the US is where they travelled to the most. The problem is their passports got missing when our family moved from our state of residence to another. They plan on applying for a b1/b2 visa in January 2014 but they don't have anything or prove(international passport with their visas) to show they have really been in the US especially when they fill the form and say YES where it is asked if they have been to the US before. Is there anything they can do? Your advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.

We don't comment on specific cases, but be sure to explain your situation at interview.

They should explain their situation to the officer at interview and when asked.

There is no waiver for visa cancellation. You can always make another appointment and attempt to explain your situation to a VO.

Dear visa officer, thanks for the good work you've been doing on this forum.

Please I will like to ask some few questions regarding f1 visa in respect to a friend of mine and I would want you to explain for the benefit of others.

My friend got visa through a school in the United States but because the school does not offer one of his major practical aspect, he decided to change to another school.

Note; he got visa with the school earlier and along the way he got another schools i20 admission letter, so he updated his former school, telling them to postpone his admission to the next semester, now the school have refused to send him a new i20 and they dont want to transfer his sevis record to his other school which will enable him to study in the states because they knew he already had visa with their school and doesn't want to study with them because of their low standard of education and high fees... What I want to know is

If it is possible for him to cancel his sevis records and pay another since he has not activated his visa, or is it a must for him to attend a school that doesn't meet up to his standard? What can he do in this case?

Thanks in advance for your response

Your friend's new school should be able to transfer his SEVIS fee on his behalf, but he can also go to https://www.fmjfee.com and pay another fee. He will also need a valid student visa annotated for his new school.

Dear VO,
I am a Nigerian with a US green card married to an American and currently residing in the USA. I have a three year old child who is currently living with her mother in Nigeria. I intend inviting my daughter to visit me this Christmas and I'd like to know what documents the mother of my child should submit to the US Consulate for a non-immigrant visa for my child. Thank you.

The application is the same for all B2 NIV applications and can be found on our website or ustraveldocs.com/ng.

Uglykunu:


Thanks VO for your response,

He is not ready to apply for another visa interview because he's scared of been denied because he did not use the former visa, is there any assurance he can get, or will it not be necessary for him to take another interview? Can he use the Dropbox at dhl?

Also, is it possible for his new school to make the transfer without consulting the former school for help?

I will be waiting to hear from you.

Thanks for your help

He needs to contact his new school for more information about SEVIS. He does not qualify for drop box, as that is only for student visa renewals at the same school as the first visa.

Raynor:
Hi

It is not legal to work on a B2 visa. We cannot predict what will happen in future interviews, but keep in mind that you used your prior visa improperly.
