I thought it is when they ask of any documents (like invitation letter) that I will present it, but she neva ask of any document yet. First thing is just d questions, infact most applicants did not present doc, just d questions before any documents.
Howeva now I don't know where ny fault is.
next time the VO asked you what you are going there to do just say" I got an invitation letter from my cousin" and then VO will ask to see the invitation letter

Dear Consulate,

. I was denied my bi/b2 visa today cry. I told the consulate I am married with 2kids and I will be going for 3 weeks to see my nephew I have not seen for a long time.

She asked me why I was travelling alone nd I told her my kids r in school. But I was denied.

I need your help to advise me on what to do cos am thinking of reapplying with my kids and husband asap for Christmas holiday. Cos I noticed all applicants that came with der kids nd husband were given visa.

1. my problem is when I re apply will I be the main applicant while my husband nd kids will be dependant?

2. Should I use hotel reservation or I should use the same relative (my uncle) as my contact person.

kindly help me cos I need to start asap.

thank you.

There's more to B1/B2 visa.
No 1. Your confidence level go a long way in proceeding with the interviewer/getting a visa.
No 2. You need to pass the 1st stage of questioning b4 proceeding to d next stage of presenting doc.
No 3. You u are prove u av a better paid job/good biz back home in naija that wud substantiate ur returning back at d right time.
No 4. You need to proof u are coming to US contribute to d economy(spending ur cash) and not just come visit/sleep/ and return.
No. 5. Going as a family depends on ur pocket/and ur status back home.
No 6, Event like conference, medical check up, schooling, and attending party wud help rather than just visit family member.
No. 7, With 180k monthly and no more income isn't sufficient enough to back ties back home.
No. 8, you need concrete evidence of you will be returning, i.e. Newly promoted at work, letter of intro from ur coy, viable biz back home that need ur attention.
No. 9, I feel hotel booking is more valuable than family IV( even if u av families out there)
Dis are my own little observation and contribution, because I am once a culprit too.

The worst is US changed their website Yet they are still using the old one for appointment booking. If you submit your application through the old website it will still go through without any redirectory message or error alert atleast to tip you off on the mistake.

if you eventually get to the embassy they will turn you back from the gate with a notice that your application is not with them.

Even as u were not attended to in any official or formal form you will be told that your application fee has gone. Countries like Japan asks for your visa fee of 4k after they are sure u qualify for their visa. Somw countries have a lower visa rate for kids and senior citizens...all these are not obtainable in US embassy. Not fair at all

He probably got denied because of the following reasons:

He earns just a lil over $800 per month <= not enough money considering he has two dependants

He has no travel history <= a big red flag after the insufficient income has been taken into account

He has family ties in America<= he is most likely not going to come back after taking the first two points into consideration

you didn't do anything wrong. If you had presented all those papers without the vo asking for it ppl will still blame you for not waiting for her to ask. The point is she just didn't want to give u. But my question is have u applied before ?

The simple truth of your refusal are just two reasons.
1, You've never travelled of out Nigeria before and wish to go on a twelve hrs journey to meet your cousin for two weeks holiday. Obudu cattle ranch is close by and its better than the long distance.
2, You are married with a kid and you want to leave them behind, its obvious your intent is to go without returning.

If you need visa advice, will gladly dish it out.

Nigerians brought this upon themselfs. Stupid nigerians who go dere to carry drugs, 80% of the international prisoners dat are there are nigerians, most painfull aspect is that 65% out of the 85% are igbos. Though am an igbo boy , but we keep on causing insults to our country.
