Dear VO,
Please can an applicant who have a contact in the US still book a hotel reservation for his stay in the US?
Thanks

Dear VO

Please, i need you to put me through on this; I applied for a study visa last year October with my i-20 and all other required documents,i was denied. And was given a blue form that told me why i was denied. I went home and to my best of knowledge did justice to those reasons i might have been denied visa and re-applied in December same last year and was denied again. I got so confused and was depressed ,for i was to resume January this year 2017. So, i had to write the school to defer my admission for August,2017. Now, preparing for another interview, please, talk to me,advice me,guess why i was denied,tell me how to go about it this time please. Thank you

Hello chi1145. We addressed your concern a few months ago on this forum. Firstly, we should dispel any notion about the "change of intent" letter. Contrary to what you may have read on other threads or elsewhere on the Internet, these letters are not required, read or associated with an applicant's file. For visa and port of entry purposes, the only representations that matter are what you present at the Embassy/Consulate interview, in your application, and at the border. With regard to medical care --which includes pregnancy-- applicants are expected to pay the expenses in full. When doubts arise over an applicant's credibility and/or their ability to pay for medical care in the US, it can be difficult for the applicant to qualify for a visa. We do not discuss chances on this forum, only qualifications.

Hello Ugoh11. This is something you'll want to work with the school to get fixed, but it shouldn't have a material impact on the visa interview. It bears repeating: biographical details such as name and date of birth are critically important. Surnames, middle names, and first names should not shift places from passport to passport as though they are playing musical chairs. Titles and honorifics like Dr., Prince, Alhaji, Hon., etc. will not be printed in passports or visas. Dates of birth happen once and only once in one's life. Variations in these details mean the applicant is either careless or a fraudster.

Thanks VO
I got my visa today!!

Hello Abujaniv

My wife went for H4 interview and after the interview, she was handed yellow form 221g and on the form they marked the option that says no additional documentation is needed but your application requires further administrative processing and gave her passport back. We don't understand what this means. We checked the status of the application and it shows Administrative processing. What are we to do next and how long does this takes?

Thanks

Good morning V. O.,

I applied with my wife and Daughter in May 2015 at Doha, Qatar when my wife wanted to go and give birth, but we were refused based on we have not traveled as a family before and visited our country since we are in Doha.

Now I want to visit US again, now we had twins added to the family, we would like to apply in Nigeria because that is where most of our ties are now(Money) and properties.

Do, we (I and wife) need to bring along our employment letter since we are working in Qatar, and bank statement ( we hardly keep money in there now) because we always send money home now.

Also, I invest a lot in Cryptocurrencies (digital currency), do I required its statement also.

Please advise.

Thank you.

@abujaniv,

Please, I need a clarification as to whether there is a laid down rule as to the order of arrangement of documents( e.g. appointment confirmation first, followed by DS-160 confirmation,... etc). Again, should these documents be stapled together as or not. the reason I am making this inquiry is to avoid any form of "orientation" from the hustlers at the consulate.

abujaniv:
Hello sdon214. There's nothing for you to do at this time. Unfortunately, we can't give any time span for how long the processing may take. If you don't hear back within a month or so, feel free to write in the the e-mail address on the yellow sheet of paper.

Hi Abujaniv,

Got this response today from the emabssy.

It states from the Portal: Hold case/221 G & Refusals/214B. Please what does this means?

And later wrote that the case has been escalated that we should check back.

Thanks,

Hello,
Please I hope Consular officers understand that not all schools require a standardized tests like Gre, Sat. My cousin has been admitted to George Washington University and the school didn't require any test from him. But yet still people are advising him to take a test just for embassy sake. I have clearly informed him that its not required at the embassy but he says from the transcripts he has read here on nairaland almost all applicants who answered no to the question Have you taken any tests were denied.

Hello,

I was issued US tourist visa in 2013 which I went to US in 2014 and I renewed my tourist visa in 2015 through drop box which will be expired in 2017 February. My question is that if eventually I didn't use the visa before it expire, do I still stand a chance to qualify for a drop box or not.
Thanks.

Dear VO,

My wife and i would like to have our baby in the USA. I would be travelling with her. Do i apply for a B1/B2 while she applys for a B2 Visa(Medical treatment). Or do we both apply for B2 visa.

Thank you.

Hello abujaniv,

I just realized that I made a mistake while filling my DS-160 form. I mistakenly entered my current place of residence as my place of birth. I have my place of birth correctly entered on my passport but as it is now, what I have on my DS-160 form is different in that regard.
I have already booked a date for my visa interview with this same DS-160 form. I will like to know your opinion about this. Will it affect my visa application negatively? What can I do? My place of birth is Ogun but I mistakenly entered Lagos.
Thank you.

Hello Consular Officer,

I just returned from the US for the Spring Missions conferences in the East Coast of the United States. And also I am going back for the Fall Missions conferences in other part of the US, and this time, I would love to go with my family, my wife and my daughter:

My questions:

Am I permitted to attend the interview with my family?
Am I allowed to answer the questions during the interview since I am the going for the Missions conferences, and she is just accompanying me to the churches that I will be visiting?
Do I need to bring my passport along?

Looking forward to hear from you soon.
