Please sndrmrtns, gbenga77 atall, please someone is ready to issue me an invitation letter now and I don't know the chances of getting the visa with it. Meanwhile the conference you suggessted how is going to be better than invitation letter from my uncle for a visit since am self employed though graduate of economics.
Please do advice extensively for I don't want to risk it. I wish to secure the visa once and for all to travel and come back. Thanks and am very grateful.
sndrmrtns:

Good luck.

If u put ur uncle in the equation without a stronger home tie, they may deny u the visa...reason:u a not gonna come back!

Please am coming back to my kids. I have two already sound business and I think nothing is going to deter me from staying over. My business thrive with 5 staffs.

The thing is quite confusing. What it means is that conference and hotel reservation is better off than invitation letter?

Of course having a relative in the US could be counter-productive,as it could be assumed you would likely hook up with that relative and become an illegal immigrant.But the crux of the matter is to convince the Co at the interview,whether or not you use a hotel reservation.Attend the interview with an open mind,and Convince the co you are gonna return as a result of your thriving bussiness.You see,most of the info they need are already in your Ds 160 form,and all they need to see is how you react to questions,your body language,and whether you are nervous or not.I think you ve got some pretty strong ties.All the best

worry 359: ighojohn:
Now you must calm down!
You have been refused and now have black mark!!!!!!!!
Be VERY sure that you are meeting requirements or you will just be throwing money into drain.
If you are too desparate then this alone can be refusal.

Calm down!
Also do not post all in CAPITALS! It looks like shouting.


Thanks for your response and i appreciate your advice and also sorry for putting that in capital letter. on the second note do you think i should apply for a student visa or for employment visa cause my friend is ready to do any of this, i will need your sincere advice like always. if am to do any of the above what should be the time frame.
Re: Usa Visit Visa by ighojohn: 10:06pm On Mar 15, 2013
Gbenge 77: We do know that visas are refused under section 214B,221G and 212A,with 214B,failure to overcome an intending immigrant presumption,the most common.Do not re apply until your situation changes,or if you have new information which was not presented to the Consular officer at the interview.The problem is,how do you convince the CO that you will return to your country at the end of your visit?Are you married?Do you have a good job with a good income?You gotta sort out some things before re applying




Thanks for your response and i appreciate your advice, am ataully married with a kid and earn 150k per month, on the second note do you think i should apply for a student visa or for employment visa cause my friend is ready to do any of this, i will need your sincere advice like always. if am to do any of the above what should be the time frame.

Hello folks,I finally picked my visa yesterday-2years multiple visa.
Basically proper preparation is important. I really prepared and made sure every document and answer was ready , I was also conscious of the way I looked too..Most importantly I PRAYED and FASTED for favour.
I had negatives;
22 years,
Obviously single,
Currently serving(nysc),
Earning 19800
Been denied twice.

This was how the interview went....after a very long wait.
Me:Good afternoon (bow)
V.O: Can I have your passport (very staright face)
Me:Yes(passed the passport to him)
V.O: dropped the passport(He didn't even bother opening the passport at all)
Why are you travelling?
Me: to visit my uncle and his family
V.O: where?
Me:I answer
V.O:where do you work?
Me:Ministry of xxxxx under Nysc(I didn't abbreviate oo)
V.O:how long are you staying?
Me: 6days (I got this logic from this trend)
V.O: where have you travelled to before?
Me:told hime
V.O: are you travelling alone?
Me: yes
V.O: Are you married?
Me: No but I have a gf.
V.O: Pick up your visa.

All this was exaactly 32seconds.I know because I purposely timed myself.He didn't ask for any document by the way. I really want to thank God and you guys. All the best to all those going for their interview. May God's favour go with you. smiley

There's nothing you can do to hasten the process. It takes several years for this application to go through the legal procedure.

Moreso, your wife is yet to acquire US Citizenship i presume? This could have speed up your application if it were so.

All you need to have is patience.....

Could i be disqualified if i try for the first time? I have a virgin passport. I don't have anywhere in mind to visit apart from the states nd it's going to be my first time.
Re: Usa Visit Visa by grafikii: 9:11pm On Mar 18, 2013
Hi everyone, I have got an interview for a visit visa in a month, I am married with 2 kids, I earn 260k in my dad's company as marketing manager. I am to represent family at my uncle's wedding and to speak on behalf of the family as he has no relatives in the us and my dad is too busy. I intend to spend 5days. I have got a letter of invitation from my uncle and his inlaws

My documents
Letter of invitation
Wedding invitation card
Marriage certificate
Bank statement
Family and wedding pictures
Certificate of incorporation (1997)
Company way bills and invoice
Introduction letter from my company.

Note: I don't have any travel experience

How bright is my chance and am I missing anything out.

PLEASE RESPOND

No,travel experience is not a must to get a visa.Loads of people did get their visa with a virgin passport.Convince the CO that you are a "GENUINE" visitor and you will get the visa.Not as easy as it sounds though.You need to respond to the questions in such a manner that you do not leave shades of doubt in the mind of the CO.Read the previous pages for tips on how to approach a tourist visa interview.But most importantly,like I always advice,do not appear desperate for a visa.Thats the crux of the matter
