Re: USA Visit Visa Part 3 by Shaftcraft: 12:46pm On Jul 25, 2018
Hello House, being following this trend from Part 3 and it has been informative. Pls house help . Here’s my story

2yrs ago I applied to attend a conference but I was denied cuz in the blue paper it stated that I wasn’t able to demonstrate to the VO. also I noticed that my interview date was rescheduled two days to the start of the conference. The VO said I’ll be missing the conference even tho she approve me the visa she then advice to try again this happened when I was single and working as a computer programmer for a firm. Although I have my personal biz which I didn’t include in my previous application and I have stop working at the previous job. I have a poultry(my current job) MD (registration already with CAC)but i didn’t register it all this while cuz I have been growing gradually until now. I am married with a child under 4month. I’m planning to go on my next vacation with my family this Christmas ..

My question are .

Do I need to use my previous email or just a different one entirely to avoid my previous profile?

What are my chances with my child still an infant? 4months old

Will this not make the VO think I’m migrating my family and the child too young?

On the other hand ... what if I apply alone without my family ? Will one of my tie be my wife and kid and business?

I run two businesses and I earn within 4-5hundred monthly
Also I’m a first time traveler .. tour to neighboring country by road for business

Pls what are my chances? What’s your good advice ? Thanks to everyone taking part in these post .

Hello guys! I have read couples of pages on this thread but please, I need a quick response because I want to process my family vacation without the help of any Agent.
1. My appointment is for 1:30pm on a day in Sept. However, I have not being seeing afternoon appointments here. Is this advantageous?
2. How do I make flight booking? Could this be done for free?
Thank you all.

1. I have no idea. Maybe the queues are less, maybe more. All the best.
2. Yes. It can be done for free, or for a fee. Most airlines allow you to make reservations for free online (though they cancel it within 48/72 hours). Some airlines allow you to keep the reservation for a little longer for a fee. You can also visit the airline office to make the reservation, in which case the ticketing agent will tell you how long the reservation will hold, before it is cancelled. (Of course, you can't buy a flight ticket for free).

Vacation right? Your circumstances have changed since your last refusal. But also, from the trends you read here (e.g. the Canada border issue), you can perceive that the conditions to qualify are more stringently applied.

... Take the family with you, and it may seem as if you are all running away; leave them behind and you appear heartless ... I would suggest you consider better the many other ties you may have, and weigh those in the balance. If they look good, all the best. If they look below par ... (it's vacation right) I suggest you find other equally enjoyable vacation destinations with less hassles.

All that said, you can give it a try: if they don't welcome you, then you can channel same funds (less NIV fees) to a vacation elsewhere with your wife and kid.

My friend in Texas just told me that America is an overrated country in terms of tourist attractions.

Pretty soon the quest for US visa from Nigeria will drastically reduce... Believe me.
My B2 interview appointment comes up in September and I can tell you for free that I already have plan A, B, C in place should anything contrary to what I expect pop up.
What is going on presently is a script well written out from the White House...when you have a commander in chief who ahbors and discriminate against black Americans, then what do you expect as an African?
Besides, with the way trump is going about his anti immigration policies.... I foresee a one term presidency.

Someone(very learned somebody I) I know still paid 300k for visa cheesy of course she was denied. I still have another family that has been denied thrice in the past wanting to go again in august! Meanwhile they have the almighty German visa(4 years).. majority want the US visa its a nigerian thing I guess.

I agree , this current president does not appear to immigrant friendly at all and is actually trying to cut legal immigration in the country . I will advise people to visit somewhere else . Especially a place where your money will be appreciated.

Did you just say Buhari need to resign or stepdown because the US embassy decided to deny some Nigerians VIsas due to what some Nigerians do when they get to the US? I think most Nigerians that havr never travelled abroad for once are just impossible. You think the Federal Govt. should do everything for you because you are a Nigerian? Believe me, as human you don't even have the RIGHT to ask that from God.

President Trump did not send us to cross over to Canada or to misuse our visit visa, guess what South African still enjoys 1-10yrs visa duration/validity with U.S.
I don't hear about Rwandans complaining about U.S Visa it is always the West Africans and we all know why.
One more thing U.S may not be the best in terms of tourism but everyone will like to visit U.S at least once in their lifetime.

Thanks every one for your inputs.
It's obvious these US vos are playing a script from the White House.
My brother applied as a student visa, he came back and told me how they were just denying people left right and centre.
He was denied.
Even elderly people too
Even families.
That the embassy was very dull, people no dey come again, yet they are still denying people
I feel so bad for our country.
