As per my account statement I was even shocked when my bank printed it out for six months. it was about 50pages with flow of about 12million naira within six months with a lot of flow in and out of it. no lump sum.

So i dont even want to bother myself with what went wrong. Wify was pissed of and I know it will take grace of God to drag her near that embassy again.

Now I need to think of another country that will be okay and romantic enough for us as per the 10th anniversary, but not any African country, I have seen them from SA suncity to Victoria falls to great migration in Nairobi, now I need to go beyond Africa.

Maldives. its a beautiful country. trust me it is the perfect place for your anniversary! and its visa free

Hi everyone...pls help out on this.......my visa is in a passport that would expire in three months, tho I intend to spend more than 3months in the US, I already done a new one but I booked my ticket with the soon to expire one. Would that pose a problem since the one I I used at my visa in it has a cancelled stamp on it.
Secondly how much should a family of 4 have as bta?

Good morning house,these goes to my brother with weeding anniversary(bugativeron) and the WHOLE HOUSE . I think what these PEOPLE need(VO) is just a straight answer(s),not too much english. I viewed some of ur answer above(my brother with weeding anniversary) VO: What do u do, My Brother: sales man BUT regional Manager to be specific. VO: How much d u earn monthly. My Brother:#666,000 GRASS Monthly income. (1). YOU SAID SALES MAN AND BUT. WHY BUT AGAIN ITS MEANS U DONT SURE OF WHAT U DO
(2).THE MONTHLY INCOME SHD BE NET INCOME NOT GROSS INCOME
NET:TOTAL INCOME AFTER ALL DEDUCTIONS (TAX,TRANSPORT,FEEDING HOUSING ETC)
GROSS:TOTAL INCOME WITHOUT DEDUCTIONS.
Thats just my view AND this may correct or not

Must there be a specific way of answering questions? What is too much grammar? I beg leave all these stories. Must we be stereotyped because of Visa application. Please i dont need to bother my head over what ought to be and not. I cant be cracking my head over what goes on in her mind cos i dont have the full details.

But do I look genuine enough, yes. At least in those days of difficulty in getting UK visa I did get even with all the interviews involve, so why should I now be subjected to rigorous analysis on top visa matter.

Please we shouldn't be killing our selves over what goes on in somebody's mind. For all you care it may even not be linked with what you are even thinking

Hello everyone in the house, I had my interview yesterday in abuja and I was denied.
My interview went this way:

VO: good morning
ME: good morning
VO: where are you going in the US
ME: Houston, Texas.
VO: your purpose
ME: I am invited to attend my elder brother graduation ceremony.
VO: where do you work
ME: bla bla bla
VO: what's your position
ME: I am the Managing Director of bla bla
VO: what's your company into
ME: it's a construction company
VO: how much do you earn
ME: 350000 monthly after tax
VO: have you travel as family before
ME: No expect our trip to Ghana for our honeymoon
VO: I can see you were in SA last year
VO: turn to my wife and asked her if she has made any trip on her own since after our honeymoon
My Wife: No
VO: have you travel with your baby before
ME: no, he's just 13 months and we have no been opportune to embark on anytrip because of work.
VO: at this point, I am sorry bla bla bla. She denied us.

The most annoying part of the whole interview was when she was busy asking questions about my 13 month son and he never looked at any document not even the invitation letter from the school.

Please I really want to know where we got it wrong because I would love to reapply again after 3 months for a family holiday.

She was very busy denying everybody...

.

Consider taking a family trip with your wife and kid to either UK or Schengen zone and re-apply after 90days, that might boost your chances and also count as a change in your circumstances..

I agree with Don Shine. Get travel history with the whole family I.e with your baby join. Also give it time abeg. This 3 month thing is too near

To me is like we are making money for these people,why with a family(31,200 x3) or more,let try individual if it work fine and if does not than wasting money. And I noticed something I don't know if is going to work or not when filling ur appointment form make sure ur interview date is like 2 or 3 weeks to ur date of departure so as not give them reason or think u are going to reapplying. Sorry for denied.

My fellow Nairaland, I want to ask a question before I filled a wrong thing on the form. I have a job and married .My wife is also working. I want to visit my brother in the US alone because my wife leave was not approved, I got the necessary document ready. Meanwhile my brother's wife said he want to sponsor my trip that I should make her my sponsor. Please will this not bring a red flag? I need you candid opinion as soon as possible. Thank you.

..

Since u dey work and u receive income, it is expected of u to be able to finance ur trip, if ur brother's wife wants to sponsor u, let her sponsorship begins when u arrive and not during the visa applications, don't make ur application look like she will be sponsoring you..

Thanks Shinajackie but I heard that Americans doesn't look at that since the person that want to sponsor is capable and the woman in question is doing it just to contribute to my trip and to show love to my brother. But does that really mean the CO could have any doubt.

You are expected to be able to fund ur trip, u are working, u earn income, why will u be dependent on your brothers wife to fund ur trip to the US .......supposing she is providing accommodation for you on arrival, that is understandable but to sponsor your trip from naija, he get as he be oo, avoid anything that will make dem look at u as a potential immigrant who wants to run....

House please help. I just applied and booked an appointment for July but something came up in my school and my appointment date needs to be changed to Sept or Oct.

What can I do to avoid paying another 30k+??

Do not ask a question if you already have something in mind to do. The Don has answered your question with reasons to support, yet you persist in your plan. So why did you ask the question na?

LadyG but that was quiet harsh, if I have made my decision or know what to do I wouldn't have asked, the person given me suggestion is speaking based on his idea and there is nothing wrong if I should respond back.
