I am applying for US visiting visa, but i have Malaysia Student Visa as i am taking my Degree in Psychology here in Malaysia. I also have Mexican visa on my passport my appointment is due in Nigeria soon do you think with my Mexican visa will it affect the chances of me getting the visa? I am just wanting to go there for holiday i am free from school now. please i will like some comments thank you and will sincerely appreciate your comments and advise please i do appreciate polite people who are none judgmental about Nigerians living in Malaysia. I am a real student here. I am having my interview in Nigeria.

Your Mexican visa will not affect your application if you actually got it from either Kualar Lumpur or Abuja. Anything else from these two cities, na long explanation.

Your letter from school showing that you're a student registered for studies along with your semester courses and grades, will be sighted by the CO.

It is to the notice of the US Missions that some Nigerians enter KUL on student visa only to engage in actions not in tandem with their proposed travel reasons. So hope you're truly a student? Because you will be romancing with a red flag if your profile is not as claimed.

Welcome back to Naija Area.....

You will not get advice on illegal activities on here.
Your friend (or yourself!!!) should stay at home.

AjanleKoko:

The US Embassy will only ask for any of your documents if your interview requires it.
For example, I work in ABC company (unknown name) and I earn 3m naira per month. CO might want to see proof that you indeed earn that much, and would even want to know which ABC company in Nigeria, not known to them, can afford to pay someone N3m per month.

Generally, the default position of the US embassy for nonimmigrant visas is to assume you intend to stay in the US and not return to Nigeria. The basis of the CO's assessment is to determine if you are likely to return or not. So they don't start with a verification, but an intent to deny you the visa. Your two or three minutes discussion with the CO is all they need to decide. And yes, there is an element of luck in there.

lilbro:

if i may ask is it possible for one to survive in usa without a sicial security number? If NO, then why will the co feel one wont return.

lilbro: ok thanks alot, i just took the bull by the horn and already did that before i got ur response today
i was also able to book an appointment for july ending. as the appointment dates were already booked but free from July 27 - Aug 2nd. God has bin truly faithfull, i am keeping my fingers crossed till the interview date. i ll come back and post my interview session with the CO in a months time. whish me good luck guys and stay blessed.

samtoye: Hmmmmmmmm, if you have lived in the US then you would understand the rationality of the COs. I've had rare opportunity of listening to what some people come to say in US visa interviews and its disappointing, the sorriest of cases was a young lady who won visa lottery but failed the interview, you claimed to be an economics graduate and they asked what you understand by the "Economy of Nigeria" and you went blank, no idea !!!It is similar to this; your submitted application would go through evaluation by internal dept before it gets to the CO, they are sort of advisory board on which the CO would act. Your applications are already marked (not necessary in these terms) very plausible, plausible, non plausible, case undecided, documentary evidence needed etc, the CO works on this to make a final decision. For very plausible the odds are already in your favor, very few questions, no documents asked and you get your visa, plausible - confirmation questions, few documentary evidences and you get your visa, Non plausible - you are already denied visa, you need "divine" evidences to convince the CO otherwise, few questions, no documents requested and you are out!

There are times the internal board conducts external investigations on your information without your knowledge, i have seen situation where a young University student claimed to be married, the embassy traced his address, didn't go to his house but stopped at his neighbor's house and asked for details about the guy, the neighbor gave them the guy's dossier about him being a young guy still living with his parents and marriage is far from him.

The COs have been trained to ask several questions just to get one answer, they ask you same questions in different forms, once your answers start to contradict themselves or from what is in your info you are finished! Your greatest mistake is to lie because of their impeccable records; all what you have said in past is in record so change your story and you stand out like a sour thumb.

Something happened to me that made me respect the US embassy; after concluding all immigrant processing and i went to get my package in Lekki, written as alias on that package was a name i never told them about, neither did i fill it in any documents i submitted to them or birth certificates both from NPC or local government records. The name was given to me by my grandmother and cos i didn't like i stopped using it since end of primary school in the late eighties; the only place they could get it was either the hospital i was born which had closed down or my primary school headmaster !!! Where did they get it from?

dkgetmuny:
U r a fraud and shld be banned....y won't ur friend wanna come back...plus I Av never heard of d us embassy givin a 3months visa

AjanleKoko:

You're making these people sound like supermen. They're not. They goof a lot, in fact.
I've lost count how many times I've filled in those forms in a hurry and got a number of details wrong.In all those cases I still got the visa on the day.

It's more of Nigerians being predictably dishonest nine scenarios out of ten. That's why, even in a truthful scenario, the burden of proof is still on the applicant. The US Consulate Visa section does not embark on elaborate verifications, for most of the visa categories, immigrant or non-immigrant, primarily due to the cost and time involved with doing that. They just take spot decisions most of the time.

The real issue is the balance between developed and undeveloped countries. Think about it, you don't need a visa to go to Mexico as an American citizen. But Mexican citizens need a visa to go to the US.

ZionSpecie: Hi all,
I work as P.A. to the CEO of my company (small company though). I came in dis year after her former P.A. resigned. The company hosts seminars/trainings in the US. The last one they had was in march and I wasn't wt d company den. They r hosting anoda one dis september and I wish to attend d seminar. I told my boss and she said she'l giv me back up letters. But d issue I hav here is dat I av bn collecting my allowee in cash, so I don't use a salary acct. None of her workers use salary acct (a small company). The allowee is less dan 100k. Culd dis be a major threat?
Secondly, the seminar is sept. When wuld u advise I book an interview date?
Thank u

As a Personal Assistant (PA), you might be seen as not having a solid job tie to your country. And also, you're even less than a year in your present occupation which is still a probationary stage in your career.

You need to be a confirmed staff of any firm /organisation after a year or two, to be assessed as a genuine traveller.

But your PA designation is a mountain for you to climb....

suxes2005: Hi all,

Each time anyone calls me either from NL or
from referral and I tell them to try the United States
they think its the hardest visa to get in life but this
is not true.

I will like anyone interested in going to usa as a visitor
to state his or her interest here so that i can show you
the way to go about it right here, we will all see the
result of the application here.

I just helped a friend of my pastor to secure his through
searching for pastor's conference for him,

It was all less than a minute.
