Good day, Please i would like to know how long it takes to hear back from USCIS. My fiancee went for a K1 interview in March and she was denied, but was given a 221g paper. I did all necessary inquiries and the package has been sent back to USCIS. So how long will it take to hear back from USCIS. It is now going to 3 months. And is it advisable to file I-130 while still waiting from the USCIS. |

Hello abujaniv. I applied for a us visa last month and was placed on administrative processing. I was later denied. Am a youth corp member but someone told me I wouldn't be granted the visa if I told the truth about my status, so I lied. So I guess the embassy found out. Now I intend to reapply and tell the truth about me being a corp member cos I just found out from my CLO that we corpers can actually travel out provided they are informed. silly me My problem now is how to redeem myself at the embassy. I know this has casted doubt on my credibility. Is there a way to get out of this quagmire or have I been banned? Pls advice on what to do. I was only naive and uninformed. |

gabriellefrance: Good morning. I just discovered Nairaland and thank you for your great jobs here. We cannot comment on specific cases; however, I can tell you generally that you can apply for an H-1B petition while you're immigrant petition is pending. Applying for an H1-B will not impact your immigrant petition. That being said, the individual interviewer will have to make a determination during your interview if you are qualified for the H-1B visa. |

SMARTRON: hello VO: There is not a specific time that you are required to wait before you can apply for a B1/B2 visa after being denied a visa; however, if your application did not meet the requirements during your last interview you might want to wait until there is a substantial change to your overall circumstances that might make you eligible for a visa with your new application. |
Re: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening by abujaniv: 1:55pm On Sep 11, 2014 |
VCTROKOYE: Hi. I am presently studying in Canada. Sometime last year when my visa was about 6 months to expire, I went to US embassy here in Canada for b1/b2 visa, but I was denied. The consular officer only asked me few questions and drew a conclusion that I was not qualified. He asked if I had someone in Canada and I replied no. He also asked about my parents residence. But my dad is late while my mum stays presently in US as a permanent resident. Anyway I gave him the right answer. He typed for a while and he told me that I was not qualified. He told me that he did not have anything against me and that I could re-apply. But he advised me to allow my situation to change before doing so. We cannot comment on specific cases - the decision about your visa will be made by the visa officer who interviews you at the Embassy that you visit. If you think that your circumstances have changed significantly then you should apply again, but if not then you should wait until you think that your circumstances have changed. |

I appreciate your wonderful response on this thread. What if one works outside the country and wants to visit US during a one month leave, how long does it take to do an application and approval to enable the person meet the one month deadline for the visa issuance and vacation.? |
Re: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening by abujaniv: 3:40pm On Sep 11, 2014 |
sonofGod11: Hello abujaniv. We cannot comment on specific cases - all we can say is that you should go into your visa interview and answer all of the questions honestly. If you did not do so in the past then you should make sure to do so in the future. Honesty is always the best policy. |

Re: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening by dammy1102(m): 4:00pm On Sep 11, 2014 |
Home country is the best place to apply for most visas including USA, Time interval is dependent on available dates on the appointment website. Pay for visa fee to view available dates. You can schedule your leave around the dates available. Visa approval at your interview. Ginomel: |

Hi VO, After filling my ds160 form I discovered my appointment date is later than my travel date which also means my duration of stay would change. Do I fill another form? Please advise |

Hi, I filled and submitted my ds 160 form with travel date as 10th September and 3 months as duration of stay but after submitting my form the appointment date available was 22nd September, which has changed my travel date to 2nd October and reduced my length of stay to 9weeks.

Hello Visa Officer, I have plans to enroll for a 5 week mud engineering course in California . I want to know what category of visa I should apply for. I have to pay the tuition fees before coming to the US and I would like to know the chances of getting a visa this time around because I have been denied twice for visit visa. I am scared of loosing my money to the school if denied because the school operates a non refundable policy Thank you |
Re: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening by abujaniv: 2:35pm On Sep 15, 2014 |
thesewa: Good Day VO,Good Afternoon - We cannot specifically advise you on what to say. As always, we encourage applicants to be honest - it is always the best policy. When you go in for interview, you may be asked why you have returned so quickly, as we also encourage applicants to wait at least 90 days until they reapply. This allows time for something to have changed in your situation. Be prepared to speak truthfully about your purpose of travel and your application. |
Re: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening by abujaniv: 2:36pm On Sep 15, 2014 |
MechM: Good day, The passport book number is found on the bio-data page of your passport (where your picture is). It is the number in the upper right hand corner. |

There are no specific items or documents you need to bring for the interview. We rely principally on the interview and the application, but you are welcome to bring any items that you believe will support your purpose of travel and ties to Nigeria. Be prepared for the fact that you may not be asked to see any of those items. Your best preparation is coming to the interview and speaking the truth! |

Dear Sir/Ma, I and my wife went for our interview on the 3rd of September. We got married on the 30th of August and we planned to have our honeymoon in Orlando Florida. The interview goes thus: Co. Have u travelled before Me. Yes but my wife has never travelled before Co. Where? Me. Country A B and C Co. Where do u work Me. Bla bla My wife . bla bla Co. What is your salary Me. # bla Co. Is madam pregnant Me. No The she said we did not qualified for the visa. My major concern is my wife doesn't want to have the honeymoon elsewhere aside from united states. My question goes thus: can we still apply for the same honeymoon after 90 days? And what is our chance of getting the visa. Waiting to read from you as soon as possible. thanks |
Re: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening by Nobody: 4:51pm On Sep 15, 2014 |
abujaniv: It is a known fact that some schools demand tuition fees to be sent before they accept you as a student. what then happens when the embassy demands a proof of acceptance. People have been denied visas based on such technicalities. |
Re: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening by MechM(m): 8:25pm On Sep 15, 2014 |
abujaniv: Thanks for your response, i have already filled and submitted my D-160 form, i dont think the passport book number is applicable to Nigerian passport, so I clicked "not applicable" when filing the form. I hope to get the US Visa anyway... |
Re: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening by Deedamzy: 8:36pm On Sep 15, 2014 |

Good day VO. I am new to this thread and I need advise. I intend travelling to the USA for a medical conference in Georgia. A well known multi national hospital in India is willing to cover all expenses including flight ticket, hotel and all other expenses. I have a letter from the hospital stating they would cover the expense. But am a little bit worried because they didn't give me their statement of account. Is the statement of account needed at the embassy or would the embassy confirm themselves. And also do I need to present my own statement of account even if am not the one paying for the trip |
Re: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening by abujaniv: 1:27pm On Sep 16, 2014 |
Deedamzy: Dear Sir/Ma, Applicants are welcome to reapply 90 days or more after their last interview, but we encourage applicants to research the section of the law under which they were refused (most commonly 214(b)), and assess whether or not anything has significantly changed in their situation that would make them more qualified to receive a visa. As to your specific chances, we cannot and will not speculate as to anyone's chances to be issued a visa. |
