Hello
Please go to page 1 of this thread. You l see a link to the US embassy website. Go thru it. See the types of visa and documentation. Then ask for clarifications.
Yes u may stay in the US legally for the period you are stamped in. Visas for visit and conferences are one and the same.
U can also read the ist part of this thread to get a better grasp of the whole process. Happy reading

Hello House,

Go ahead you have no problem just be truthful and honest with your application. God is your strength.

Please guys, will really appreciate if these questions are answered, thanks.

Hello, Please I need to know the answers to these two questions:

- Someone who has been issued a visa to the United States but did not travel at the specified date as a result of he lost his mother and the company has to reschedule his leave to USA. Will this affect him at the point of entry?

- My friend and his cousin (20years old) want to apply for Tourist/Vacation visa. What visa type is best to apply for, is it family or apply for tourist visa separately?

Waiting for your response!

Hello Guys.

Thank you for your valuable inputs. I had a successful interview at the Lagos Embassy yesterday.

However, they returned my passport photograph at the bio-metrics stage and the VO did not request for it. Aren't they meant to hold on to it, for issuing the visa?

TIA.

Fill a fresh ds 160 and submit. Email the embassy to swap the new ds 160 with the old

Ok thanks I will do that, is it going to affect my appointment as well?

Hello Everyone,
I am new here. Please i need advice.
I have a US visa B1/B2 issued last year which expires next year.
At the point of getting the visa i was not pregnant but now i am pregnant , and i will want to travel to have the baby.
I have made contact with the doctor, they have refused to collect a dime from me till i arrive Texas.
i have heard too many stories of women turned back at the point of entry. Please i need advice on how to make it safely.

I desist from making personal assesments because only the vo can holistically assess your application and decide. Sometimes the transcripts are outta d ordinary and different.I always advice folks to read the thread and self evaluate from the history.
U have already picked out some factors u and the general populace consider a positive but which u don't have. U already said u know folks that got visas despite not meeting these requirements?
So what else can I say but good luck?

Thanks....will give it a shot.

Emirates airline is abt the best in that region. Ve used them. Very comfy, staff pleasant, food good n dey re very generous wt their service.lol

If the VO ask this question, are you married?
Then I respond I'm single but engaged, will be getting married sometimes soon.
Do you think that make any sense to the VO or one should just answer I'm single. I'll love to get a response ASAP. Thanks
