If you read past experiences related in this thread, you will see that this is not only useless, but could be the undoing of the applicant. Moreover, "sending" is as fraudulent as fake stamps! Perhaps it's sarcasm sha.
@OP, People with no travel experience get visas: read the thread and assess yourself. You can postpone your interview, you can forget your current visa fee, but once you misrepresent once (just one falsehood) and your jeopardize your future visa applications.

If he had advised, try to travel to Ghana via transportation, it would be same stamps, but irrespective of travel history.... Only God grants visas.... Favor is key

In UK, "working" is not restricted to "physical work", "online work" is regarded as normal work. You need a self employed or entrepreneur visa to work for your UK incorporated (or registered) company while in the UK. Doing that on a visitors' visa is a violation of your visa terms. You are not even permitted to do voluntary or unpaid work. It is same rule across Europe and North America.

I Disagree with u but theres no point arguing with u......the govt is aware d company exist and like I wrote earlier your business has to be worth £200k to qualify for entrepreneur visa and not all companies are worth that.....i pay my taxes and I never had a problem renewing my visa and I always indicate what I'm doing for a living when renewing or at POE.... don't talk about what u ain't sure of ...Google is ur friend.

Thanks again

Kudos to LadyG, Seyewest and other gurus. My question is this. If both parents has US Tourist visa and wants to take their children for vacation how will they go about it, will the children apply through Dropbox or go for interview with their parents. Thanks for your kind response.

Thanks LadyG. But if they appear for interview because of their ages, 4 6 and 8 must the two parents go with them despite the parents has their visas.

I'm sure either of the parents is fine enough to accompany them.

Hello house. Please I need help. When I filled my Ds-160 form, my passport was rejected, but on the confirmation page, it says I must bring a passport photograph satisfying the requirements to the interview.
However, I later saw another thing in the appointment letter that those who failed to upload their passports would be turned back to reschedule their appointment.. Please has anyone been in this shoe before? Am I safe to take the passport with me to interview and ignore the information on the appointment letter, or what should I do?

@Bolded. No.
How to amend your current situation has been discussed and posted on this thread several times. (I don't know it by heart, and no time to fish it out for you. Just read back a bit. I think it came up again within the last 6 pages.)

You will be turned back. Ensure you upload a passport photograph using a digital/soft copy in line with the prescribed format (not a scanned photo). A cropping tool is also available for use on the application.

no one actually knows. that's a fact. but you can improve your chances by looking at your ties to nigeria, filling your form honestly and being confident during the interview.

Lol....you don't don't understand
I repeat I did not violate any terms.....i did not visit the UK for business ...I visited
For another purpose entirely....
W
I did not take any employment while I was in UK thats when it's violation, if u think i did then tell me... who employed me?
..my kinda work is different from what u are familiar with thats why you are confused .i run an online service, so u expect me to shut down my service during my stay?

If it was illegal to own a company in the UK as foreigner it won't be possible to incorporate a company as a foreigner....unless like u said "have an entrepreneur visa" which is not the case... I registered the company with my Nigerian passport as a foreigner.


Picture this a business man is on vacation and then he attends to his work emails and phone calls does that mean he violated his visa terms ? Will that be considered working ?
I only keep my service running as i have access to internet and that's what I need for my job. It's not an employment it's keeping my business running. It's even indicated in the companies house document that it's ur responsibility as business director to ensure the successful running of the company.

After all this if you still don't get it, then I have nothing more to say to u... just don't paint me in any of ur confusion....and don't confuse other readers

By all means ignore what's on the letter OK? Ignore a clearly stated instruction and come to nairaland and get New set of instructions from the face less folks that will not conduct your interview. Do not upload your passport OK? Ignore. You are special. The chosen one. Above the rules. Favoured. In fact u may decide to stay at home. The vo will come to your house and stamp your passport k?

Good Day Everyone, please can someone direct on how and what is the procedure to renew my U.S visa

Everything is at discretion of the Visa officer, he/she will look at it if you have ties in Nigeria something that can bring you back to Nigeria eg if you are married, have kids etc that doesn't mean single ones are not being granted visa but all is in the hands of the VO to decide.I will suggest you read through this thread to be more informed of what can boost your chances.
