House pls see me see wonder o, I couldn't believe what happened today at US Embassy after questions and answer I still got denied, guru in the house pls go through my transcripts and let me have ur opinion. But before then I did the normal biometrics, right from there the person that handles the biometrics asked if am a Lecturer or Student, I said no but Administrative Staff, I guess she went through my profile before she asked. CO: Good morning Me: Good morning CO: Pls pass your passport and your confirmation paper, which I did. Immediately he said give me a min, I will be right back (he went inside and brought out blue sheets of papers which has contents inside and hang them. When he came back he apologized and I said no prb. CO: Why are you going to the US? Me: To honour my sister invitation to visit her and her family during my annual leave. CO: Where do you work? Answer: bla bla CO: You work as? Answer: bla bla CO: whats are your job schedule? Answer: bla bla bla, (when it got to a point he was shocked and looked at me, I didn't stop I was just talking) CO: Have your traveled before? Answer: Yes, to Ghana with my wife for honey moon. CO: Where did ur sister lives? Answer: Houston in Texas CO: where does she work? Answer: She's bla bla CO: what does ur wife do? Answer: She's a legal practitioner Guess d next thing he did, he just removed one of the blue paper and return it with my passport and said I will find out the reason why I was not eligible, when I read it was stated that I don't have strong ties under section 214(b). Through the interview he didn't ask whether I av children or not, he didn't even ask for a single document, he didn't ask if I av a home or not. This is so embarrassing mehn. I never dream of relocating not to talk of not return home, I av a happy home and a good job. Guru in the house what could be d challenge. |

Ist eh, what strikes me is 'how did your sis get to to the US? 2nd ''CO: whats are your job schedule? Answer: bla bla bla, (when it got to a point he was shocked and looked at me, I didn't stop I was just talking" What did you say that shocked him? |
Re: Usa Visit Visa by Nobody: 3:23pm On Mar 23, 2015 |
LadyGuinivere: She got there through DV Lottery and her husband has joined her, and they are blessed with a baby last year.Funny enough my mum just came back and I thought I should also give it a trial. I said I give response to parents and students enquiries. 1 Like |

chincomiowon: Did you actually say you wanted to give it a trial? Sounds like you said something contradictory because he was shocked. Rather than say bla bla bla, can you tell us exactly what it was you said. Being more specific will help us have a better picture of what transpired. |
Re: Usa Visit Visa by Nobody: 3:57pm On Mar 23, 2015 |
thegreengooner: Oh no, I mean I should also put in for the visa too, and this was not part of the discussion I had with the CO. I gave him all my work schedule as stated in the DS-160 form but he should not expect me to say it the way it was listed in the form, may be that was where the prb is I can't say. |
Re: Usa Visit Visa by thegreengooner(m): 4:28pm On Mar 23, 2015 |
chincomiowon: What exactly is your work schedule like? |
Re: Usa Visit Visa by Nobody: 5:47pm On Mar 23, 2015 |
chincomiowon:. Probably, there must have been something u said that went contrary to what u filled in ur DS-160, these guys are well trained, they look into your eyes during interviews, observing body languages while at the same time scanning through what u filled in ur form, give it some time and re-apply after 3months........... |
Re: Usa Visit Visa by eurogee: 6:38pm On Mar 23, 2015 |
thegreengooner: Thanks for ur engaging response Bro. The thing is that my intention to attend the conference, though secondary, is real. I plan to do both: attend the conference and purchase the items which will be too bulky to airfreight; it will be shipped by sea. It's next year i'm looking at to travel. Yes. I had travelled to india for surgery in 2010. I had also travelled to Ghana last year on a visit to the school i had wanted to do my Msc before i decided otherwise. I'm just looking at an easy way to do the both in the state, without being denied the visa. A friend suggested that conference will be my best option, as my business has not been incorporated yet. He suggested that since i'm being Paid monthly by my publisher/marketer, i should use that as evidence of my source of income. However, the amount i'm paid monthly isn't specific: 140k,130k,120 and sometimes 100k depending on the generated sales. Also. When i newly started my program, i had inquired from my lecturer on the easiest way to get appointed as a lecturer. He advised that i had to make above 4.5 in my Msc, in addition to writing and publishing researched academic papers on popular journals; as well as attending scholarly workshops/seminars/conferences. He said all these would make me stand out among the crowd when i apply for the job. He finally said attending foreign based seminars would be a gr8 added advantage. So since then, i have been building my CV; I have published 2 academic papers on scholarly journals and attended 2 conferences with one professional workshop. So you can see that attending the conference will add value to my CV towards improving my chances for a possible appointment.. Pls with all these, do i stand a chance? |

chincomiowon: I'm very sorry. The US consulate can be disheartening some times. Permit me to say this is a social netwrkin room and as such nobody knws you. In light of this, I'd urge u to be transparent in ur transcript. Without transparency it'll be almost impossible to assist you. Pls give us the full transcript ok? Nobody knws you ok? Accept my apologies. #Prof. FredoRicko |
Re: Usa Visit Visa by Nobody: 8:14am On Mar 24, 2015 |
eurogee: If I understood you, you wanna go to the US for a conference yea? You're really going for a conference yea? And not using it as a front to get into the US. Well, hoping the answers to the above is "YES". First, you make pretty much enough to sponsor yourself ok? You've a family here in Nigeria, so u're a go under 214b. just apply and pray for the best ok?, cos your circumstances are pretty much clear cut. #Prof. FredoRicko |

@all; very grateful. Tot thegreengonner wanted to come up with sth, though. |
Re: Usa Visit Visa by thegreengooner(m): 2:21pm On Mar 24, 2015 |
eurogee: I cannot confirm if you stand a chance as I am not a Visa Officer however I can say that you would need to provide evidence of strong ties to Nigeria and intention to return to the country at the end of your visit to the US. You may also be required to show how a personal visit to the US for the conference will help you professionally. |

good day all,i am a new member here but i have been following this forum for sonetime now,pls i am in need of advice,i got USB1/B2 visa last month,i am a single father of 2 the agent that helped me is n old friend who happen to know my kids mother,but he dint know we have departed, read tru d visa app form yesterday and i discover married instead of single in d printed out form he gave me and i never marry before.hope this will not affect me in future as i want to marry my US fiancee,thanks |
Re: Usa Visit Visa by Nobody: 7:32pm On Mar 24, 2015 |
lewisropo:. It will affect u , your details are already in the data base of the US government, these are some of the kasala & gbege wey agent dey cause, they collect their fee, fill nonsense, goad u along, but the consequences of all the kasala rest on the applicant,why didn't you tell him to show u the form b4 he submitted |
Re: Usa Visit Visa by lewisropo(m): 7:56pm On Mar 24, 2015 |
thank you very much pls what do you think i should do? thank you. shinejackie: |
Re: Usa Visit Visa by Nobody: 8:34pm On Mar 24, 2015 |
lewisropo: Pls cn you answer the following questions jst to clarify some inconsistencies with ur statement. 1. I'm sure the visa officer must ve asked abt ur marital status at the point of ur interview; How did you respond? ? 2. Why go thru the form after ur visa ws issued and not b4? As par ur marital status affecting your planned marriage, it won't ok? Even if you choose to do a formal wedding in the states, nobody checks to see if u've married b4 or not ( that's if you've done nothing to warrant a background check). Next, not to promote polygamy or smfin but, pple who ve families marry another in secret and meet no waterloo. And moreso, The united States Government has much more in her plate to deal with than to vet evry potential suitor of her citizen/permanent resident k? Chill and enjoy ur visa. Pls dnt void the terms of ur visa so you won't prevent pple from gettin theirs k? #Prof. FredoRicko |

Re: Usa Visit Visa by Nobody: 8:57pm On Mar 24, 2015 |
fredoricko:.. @the bold, since he already fills in his Ds-160 form to be a married man,when he now wants to marry in future and the lady wants to file for him, what he already fills in his form will pop-out and that is where the kasala will come from, secondly, when u want to marry especially during the paper work, as soon as the lady files for him, they will check their record, once the record brings out his info as a married man when he applied for his visit visa, that will put a hold on the whole process, he ought to have a divorced certificate to enable him marry his US madam...........the agent messed up his application........ 1 Like |
Re: Usa Visit Visa by Nobody: 9:09pm On Mar 24, 2015 |
shinejackie: Lolz. What happens when a married man losses his wife and wanna remarry? Is he asked to bring her death certificate? It's no biggie k? Don't scare him or make him panic k? Even if it turns out to be a problem latter, I'm sure it can be sorted out without any difficulty ***"The agent messed up his application"*** what he shld do now, is to perhaps thnk the agent for his mistake cos it probably resulted in his visa approval. I'm sure it's no news to you that the US consulate considers marital status as par section 214b of the immigration act. #OneStepAtATime #Prof. FredoRicko 1 Like |
Re: Usa Visit Visa by Nobody: 9:17pm On Mar 24, 2015 |
Easy mate, l am not scaring him neither do l intend to make him panic,did u bother to read my response very well,the guy is single and the agent filled married and u said it is no biggie,l taya for u o .....it is when the lady in the US wants to file for him that all this issue will crawl out,and he will need a divorce certificate to sort things out, that is the bitter truth.. .Marriage & application for marriage in the US is a serious issue and the process is not a child's play especially if ur infos dont add up..... 1 Like |
Re: Usa Visit Visa by LadyGuinivere: 9:21pm On Mar 24, 2015 |
@Prof Fredricko, I'm afraid Mr Shine holds the correct view. Why do you think married people are considered less likely to elope and have better statistics of a a successful visa? People who have families (undocumented/traditional marriage) get away with it with marrying again in the US. @Lewis ur way no pure. U went along with the 'error' , got the visa now you are aasking for honest advice? Why didn't you clear it up with the embassy? If you try to marry your 'fiancee' and succeed, you will be held for bigamy and needless to say, you will be sent back to us. So don't go advicing your friend with bad advice now |
Re: Usa Visit Visa by Nobody: 9:29pm On Mar 24, 2015 |
LadyGuinivere: Thnks. I may have to work much more b4 I get that emeritus tingy lolz. I guess him and his bride shld get an immigration lawyer and sort it out when the time comes. And the need to be honest when filling the ds160 form is again brought to the fore. |
