Hello everyone, may God bless the creator and those who have contributed to this forum. You are doing a great job.

I'm 31 years, married with twins, they are ten months now, I wish to embark on family vacation to US.
My status : married, work in oil and gas sector, salary 506K, I have no travel experience, my wife school in Ghana and she has been to Liberia too.

I know it's not the decision of this forum to tell my eligibility but do I stand a good chance?

Take your time... Flight fare at the moment is a no go area....chill till end of the year

He is a green card holder, about to get his citizenship too. we have plans for this year but with this travel ban,I am scared. please how does this ban affect his ability to come back this year and return safely to the US as well as my ability to join him over there later. thanks

Hello people
I want to apply for b1/b2 visa with my wife.here is our profile
1.both med doctors undergoing residency
2.just got married traditionally a month ago
3.wifey has been to UK and SA while I have been to SA and Ghana.
4.i was denied visa 2 years ago while I was doing Nysc without any reason though I had feeli.gs that it could be due to no travel experience and tie
Now we want to go for vacation and intend to stay in a hotel but a mutual friend who's a priest and a professor in the US wants us to use him as a point of contact in the US but am scared that the VO might see it as a tie in the US thus reason for refusal.
Should we stick to our hotel as point of contact or use this friend who happens to be my teacher back in the seminary.Help

Im not a VO. Since we are all assisting each other, I guess the focus would be on your "Residency". How much of a tie is this program to make you guys return to Nigeria?

I just tire. But all the people tht won't follow rules or read the thread deserve it.

To the op, the US embassy says ' upload a pssport or we send you back'
That is their policy. Why do u think your case should be an exception?
Solution: do NOT cancel the appointment. Fill a New form, write to them to swap it.

@oguguo, there's a chance anybody can be denied visa, though not on surname difference reason. Not every applicant has the same surname with their spouses and offsprings

Pls,how true is this?

Janet101:

So the best advice is for him to get that sorted out before the interview date

Janet101:

Yes because you did not do the right thing at the right time. The advice you gave is not the best case scenario. Nobody would want to throw money away...
Well what do I know? Maybe na only me economy de bite

Pesuzok:

Yes but most people don't know how to do it, anyway if u can do it on ur own no problem.

Pls,how true is this?

fake news

Just thought to share my experience since I have learnt a lot from this forum myself. I had my interview earlier today although the outcome of my interview wasn't so pleasant, regardless I'd share to educate all intending applicants. I was very relaxed, truthful and tried to be very precise. A few people were issued Visa in my presence and a bunch of liars were denied as well. My advise to all intending applicants is to evaluate yourself and try to be as truthful as possible. If you lie you will most likely contradict yourself and jeopardize your chances. The guy before me claimed 3 different ages/DOB to the extent the VO had to ask if any part of the application was real. In all fairness to the VO's everyone they denied deserved it and everyone they issued visa deserved it, no exception to me. By the way it was my first Visa application ever.

The interview was somewhat brief. Below is the transcript,

VO : What do you do do ?
Ans : I'm a fashion designer/Tailor
VO : How long have you been doing this ?
Ans: Since 2009
VO : Do you do this full time
Ans: Yes
VO : Have you traveled out of the country before?
Ans: Yes to Benin Republic & Togo other than that I haven't had any genuine reason to be out of the country.
VO : What are you going to do in Texas.
Ans:I'm going for my cousins wedding scheduled to hold 25th of this Month. Will be there for 5 days.
VO : Unfortunately you don't qualify for a Visa

NaijaEarnOnline:
I have been a silent reader of this great thread and I must say I have learnt a lot.

I want to share the trancript of my interview that took place towards the end of feb for myself, wifey and our 3 kids.

VO: Goodmorning
Me & Wifey: Goodmorning
VO: Can I have your passports.
Me: (Hands them over)
VO: Why are you going to newyork and florida
Me: For vacation and to do some shopping
VO: What do you do?
Me: I work with xyz company as an .........
VO: What do you do for the company
Me: ...........................and immediate interventions when there is a fault
VO: What kind of faults
Me: (I mentioned some I could remember)
VO: How often do these faults occur
Me: On a daily basis, because we have a lot of ........
VO: How big is your workplace
Me: (I couldnt think of a better response, so I just told the VO our output per day)
VO: (To wifey) what do you do
Wifey: I work as (mentions job title) in bleep company
VO: that should be under (mentions wifey's department)
Wifey: Yes
VO: How long have you been working with this company
Wifey: bleep years
(in between these conversations, the VO spent a lot of time typing)
VO: How much are you planning for the trip
Me: $11,000 (I have done the necessary calculation after I read from this thread when someone was asked, and he mentioned $3500 for a family of 3 which many said it is too poor to cover such trip)
VO: (hands over a white paper) pick your visa in (I couldnt care much as I saw the white paper)


I thank God for his favour. My profile is not bad I think, I have been to Italy, France and UK with my whole family, except our new baby. My job is not bad same with wifey. No single document was checked, even our passports were not opened.
However, our baby's passport was put on administrative processing for like a week, but has now been issued.

Intended travel date is in august (If money dey) for those asking if it is early to apply

Thank you guys!!!

These are two error prone solutions/advise you have above (though the first be even better). But then, LadyGuiniveres has come to your rescue dear @america001, do follow that which she has proffered as solution and you will prosper in this course!
