Good afternoon VO and fellow nairalanders, I have a couple of questions.... I am currently thinking of applying for US non-immigrant visa for December...i schooled in the UK and I am currently in Nigeria for my NYSC batch B( so finishing in August next year), I was wondering for strong ties as a young person can I use a letter from Nysc secretariat and my local govt and primary place of assignment which is another local govt as proof that I wi be returning after my stay? Another thing is my parents live in America as they are green card holders, my brother too works as the VP for Capital One( credit card company) in the US, I'm mentioning these things because I feel I have stronger ties in the US than I have in Nigeria, but will my NYSC be enough to show that I will be returning after my visit as I plan to visit my father who just went through major surgery? What other strong ties can I present? Pls I need help!!! Thank you guys! And God bless as you reply this long message

I guess a little more information might help eg Have you been to the us before? if your answer is yes then i think you have a really good chance, since you dint abscond previously regardless of your ties. I also think some evidence of the procedure your dad went through and when (probably scanned to you) would help during your interview to confirm the surgery and your reason for visiting. If your planning to travel this december then i think your chances are quite good since your already doing your Nysc and its unlikely you abandon it just few months into the nysc program since you came from uk to serve. (your should probably hold your uk certificate or some other type of proof your foreign trained).

You might need to show evidence of leave from your ppa and probably a letter from the nysc secretariat like you suggested to confirm your serving presently. Finally i think honesty is the best policy (eg when asked about your parents status and things like that). Not having strong ties to Nigeria does not disqualify you (probably just means you need to prove harder you wont disappear) and with the approach you are planning to take, I think you should be fine.

In summary i think the kind of support information you need will be invite letter, financial information, accommodation information (all these can be covered by your folks). As for ties, The truth is best rather than lying or making up stuff

Hello
I have my visa, travelled to the US a coupla times. Now we're filling for my husband who its his first time but has been to the UK before.
I have a steady income and early not too badly. He's a business man and has some buses for transport. For sponsor, which will be the best option to put? Me as my statement is ok or him then say at the interview that both of us will contribute.
Then I head december is not a good time to apply for vacation. True/false?
