Dear VO,
Can a US citizen accompany his mother for an interview at the embassy. Because she will not be able to understand the VO because of the accent and the mother can't communicate in English.

Hello abbey3132,

To answer your question, yes, she can reapply in May. But since nothing will have changed since her last interview, we would discourage her from doing so since the outcome will be the same.

Hello victor4u,

For the F1, the VOs will certainly ask to see your SEVIS receipt and your I-20. However, any other documents, such as financial information or other correspondence between the student and the school may be requested, but is not required. Any touts or agents that claim to know the documents that applicants MUST have in order to get a visa are not helpful and in fact, many times it is the people who use touts that are denied visas.

Hello VO,

Here is my story and question, i applied for student visa in 2013 and was denied and when filling my application formback then, i did not indicate that my dad was an american permanent residence, and about to be a citizen. now he is a citizen and i want to apply for visiting visa to see him, Q: would the fact that i lied then affect me now? cos reason i lied then was simply because i didn't have a good relationship with him then cos he divorced my mum and became less of a father figure to me.

thanks.

Thrombos:
Thank you VO for a wonderful job you are doing here.
Please I want a clarification here . My sister attended visa interview at the Abuja embassy on the 24th of February and she was placed on administrative process and the interviewerand told her she'll be contacted in a weeks time but she's yet to get a feedback from the embassy .
The interviewer also took some of her original document .
Checking her status online shows denied and the reason for denial was said to be written on the paper given to her by the interviewer which was administrative process .
My question is : should she be optimistic of a response from the embassy or go with the online status ; if denial is the case , how will she get her original document back . Thank you for your response .?

hello V.O,

I was removed from the United States of America 5years ago, my visa was cancelled and i was issued a 5year ban owing to the fact that i was pregnant and according to the immigration officials at the port of entry i didn't make my intention known during my visa interview.

Now my question is: what is the procedure for requesting consent/ permission for me to apply for entry into the United States since i have served my ban and i intend going for vacation with my family. Is there a fee being charged for this procedure?

My visa category was a B1/B2 visa

Looking forward to hearing from you.

abbey3132:


Thank you so much for quick response and good job but I don't really understand what could possibly be a change in her circumstance since she got a good job,husband and kids as a tie to her country and also traveled out of the country before
Please can visiting another country before re applying be a change in her circumstance from last interview?

Dear vo that's for good job
please I need a response
Thanks

Hello NIV Team,

Thank you for your response.

My friend went for his appointment today, but was given a TB by the guy checking the documents; He was not allowed for the interview because the barcode on his DS-160 is different from the barcode on his interview appointment letter.

He was told that he will be able to use his receipt after 48hrs but he is not really clear on what to do next.

Does he have to fill another DS-160? please can you explain what he is expected to do.

Thank you.

Hello VO,

Is someone with an expired unused visa still eligible for dropbox renewal?

Visa was issued 2 years ago but due to some occurrences the dude couldn't travel again.

Thank you.

Hello mommatriplets,

1) You will need an F1 or M1 visa to study for that duration in the United States. Under no circumstance should you be completing a course on a B1/B2 visa. https://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/study-exchange/student.html

2) You can apply for an F1 or an M1 visa now while you're in Nigeria. It is perfectly fine to have both valid B1/B2 and F1 visas in your passport. If you go to the US and change status it can be seen as you misrepresenting your actual motive and all future visa applications may be refused.

Abuja NIV Team
