tolma28: I applied fr a visitors visa sumtyms in feb wit my wife and son but was refuesd. We got an invitation from a very senior family friend of mine. I was told by a friend then that d reason for my refusal is becuz of my age and dat of my wife (26 & 25 respectively but this is our true age and what is on our passport) and also becuz of the salary i quote i was earning (323k). Am an operational manager in an hotel and my wife and i also run an hospitality firm togeda. Now we intend applying for anoda visitors visa what is our chance of getting one dis tym.

maximumm: Hello guru, I have been following the trends on the forum for a while now and here is my issue.
Pls I applied for US M1 Visa between June - September, 2013 and 3times in a row and was denied which I don't know and not until the last VO asked me about my strong ties I realized I messed up with no married and no job status.
I am a geophysicist in an oil and gas company now and have been working since November 2013 till date and my company want to send me to an international Geophysics exhibition in the US by next 2015.
Please what's my chance of getting the Visa as I already travel to Kenya and Dubai.
Your advice asap sir. Thanks

passionup11: Hello my guys. I need to give back to the forum that gave me everything I used today . Today was my interview date with my family at the American Consulate, Lagos. This is the transcript of how my interview went.
Vo: Good morning
me: Good morning
Vo: why are you visiting the us:
me: Vacation
Vo: are you visiting any relative?
me: yes
Vo: what's her occupation?
me: I mentioned
VO: When last did u see her?
Me: I mentioned
Vo: what do you do?
Me: I mentioned
Vo: what is your wage?
me: I mentioned
Vo: how long have you worked there?
me: I answered
turns to my wife and asked her
Vo: what do you do:
my wife: she answered
Vo: what's your wage?
My wife: she answered
Vo: how long have you been working:
my wife: she answered
Vo: would you be seeking medical help in the us?
we: answered no
Vo: would you be giving birth in the Us?
we: answered that she isn't pregnant.
she then said pick up your passport at the DHL office in VI on Thursday.
my observation: i noticed that people that had travelled before were given visas today . so many people on virgin passports were denied. people with virgin passports but had good jobs were given after much stress and questions. Also ,most elderly people were refused. I didn't know why.
Above all, thanks to God almighty. its not how smart one is but the grace of God. I had learnt everything here. deployed my time and resources to this page and it really helped me . DRESS SMARTLY ALSO . I DONT ENCOURAGE PEOPLE WEARING JEANS OR DRESSING IMPROPERLY. Thanks guys . I am so indebted to you guys. God bless

tayoamos: Please, for someone who wants to attend a wedding in the USA next year June, when is the best time to go for the visa interview? Can such person go for the interview 8 months before the wedding ?

tzetzefly:

And how did you clear this mistake when interviewed?

tayoamos:
Just explain this to them at the POE. Occasionally, the officer at the POE might drill you to ask why changing your plan. I was drill also during mine ,I filled the Ds 160 that I was going to Denver Colorado, ended up going to Minneapolis Minnesota. The officer drilled me why I changed my plan as it was not what I told the visa officer when I applied for the visa, but I explained and he understood

dROC1: Got this off a Philippino website, might be helpful

Tomorrow is the d day for me

ekpotek:

Actually I am going to New Orleans. I entered in my DS 160 form that I would fly Delta, via Atlanta if I use Delta airline. However I can save over 100k if I fly with Qatar airline via Dallas. I would just explain to POE that I go a cheaper flight better than Delta. Thanks

superfavour: tzetzefly please is a change in sponsorship a sign of desperation Even when its genuine.

tolma28:
