pls, what is the cost of a passport for 3yrs old child.

hopybarbar:
True talk "consistency" very important. i even think sey the VO go still reason sey me and the lithuania girl don gum together wella ni ooo we enter naija together, i still carry her documents follow body go the interview for ikoyi. omo he no just send my package God is able sha.
Thanks a bunch..... see u in yankee later in 2016

LadyGuinivere:

Oh u applied in Lagos? Dude! Info is key! What are ur ties to Nigeria?

hopybarbar:
Ties to Nigeria? since i left naija, nothing really in naija, just as i dey enter dey commot noni, all my hustling na just outside naija, and it was filled in the DS-160 form that the trip would be sponsored by my cousin.

LadyGuinivere:

Before I give my opinion, I'd like to remind u, that is exactly what it is, my opinion and nothing more.
I simply think the vo was not just satisified u were Genuine shikena. He was looking for a certain Bang! to sway him in your favour.
He checked if u could speak the language (to weigh your true relationship with wifey). And what u came up with was something u can generally learn in the market when u go shopping. 'Hello, do u speak English?' Isn't exactly something ud have picked up from a lovey dovey marriage.
2.No kids. Nothing to bring u back to Lithunian
I assume u got married after u went for your msc? Who's to say u won't divorce aunty Lithunia and Marry sisi US?
Finally I always say be sure to know how your 'inviter' entered us mae e no use em reggae spoil your blues. How did ur cousin gain Status?
Have u considered applying with madam? What else do u have as a tie to lithuan apart from msc and madam? Any investments? Jointly owned property? Cos I belive the vo wasn't just satisfied u had any ties that couldn't be severred in the kain lithuan.
Sorry for d denial and apologies if any of my Observations were offensive

LadyGuinivere:

See? That puts stuff into perspective.
You have no ties to the country u applied from.
U also could not convince the vo of your lithuan angle.
You are also dependent on your cousin to sponsor u. So for all intents and purposes, USA is greener pastures for u. To the above suggestions u also need to add a good job and solid financial ties

hopybarbar:
Thanks for your response, spouse in this sense i think means "to marry" as it was listed on the list of who are you travelling with? in DS-160 form together with husband, wife and some other stuffs. also, i am presently in the 3rd quarter of my MSc prog, i wonder why the refusal anyways.
I answered all questions with smiles and he was also smiling back and nodding his head in affirmation to most of my responses.
Still never know why dem refuse me sha oooo

So what do you think i need put in place before applying again?

LagosNIV:


Perhaps you should consider graduating and getting established in a job before applying again...

LadyGuinivere:

For your 'chance' of getting the visa, check the previous page. Read hopybarber's posts and self evaluate.
How to go about it? Check the US website/read the previous page/or check page 1 of this thread

@HORLAYODE89 I think you are kinda confused. Or do you wanna get visa to these 3 countries together at the same time?

Jijadon:
I have a B1/B2 visa. I travelled to the US in August and came back in September after 2 weeks. My wife also have a visa. While I was away in the US she was sick and when I got back I decided I will send her to the US to have our baby. Our visas were cancelled at the POE & we were ban for 5 years. How do I reapply.

justwise:


What really happened at POE?

Jijadon:
At the POE they said she did not inform the consular officer during her interview that she was pregnant. I told them we never even tot of having the baby in the states but when her care giver told us that he will advice we seek medical care overseas. We started making all the inquiries. We had letter from the Dr and even money.

Good Morning LadyGuinivere, Justwise and all members,
Please I have 3 questions to ask 1. What to fill for this question in ds160 form ( Provide your employment information for the last five years, if applicable). Were you previously employed? Yes or No. I was previously employed in the year 2008 and started my own business since year 2009 up till date more than 5 years as stated in the question. If I didn't mention it in the form hope no problem or I should mention my previous job.

2. It is necessary to fill arrival/ departure flight when you are not sure the airline that will cheap when you want to fly.

3. How to answer this question when ask CEO of a particular business ( Where are you working)? is a business name will be the answer or address where the business was located? Thanks

FrontPageLawyer:


1. "DOES NOT APPLY" because it's more than five years, but this can be explained during interview if asked.

2.If you've made any plan, then YES otherwise click "DOES NOT APPLY"

3.Don't try to Impress the VO, he/she knows anybody can register a company in Nigeria and claim the title ""CEO"
Example;

Question: Where do your work?

Answer: I am a project manager at XYZ LTD responsible for contract management and negotiation; It is also my responsibility to prepare technical and l bids for tender opening. etc. (abeg na example oo!!!)

The VO can evaluate the size of your company by the numbers of years in operation and through its Tax Clearance, but unfortunately your tax clearance won't be checked.

Just be truthful in your application and interview. E nor pass like that.

Thanks both FrontPageLawyer and LadyGuinivere.
