Dear Consulate,

. I was denied my bi/b2 visa today . I told the consulate I am married with 2kids and I will be going for 3 weeks to see my nephew I have not seen for a long time.

She asked me why I was travelling alone nd I told her my kids r in school. But I was denied.

I need your help to advise me on what to do cos am thinking of reapplying with my kids and husband asap for Christmas holiday. Cos I noticed all applicants that came with der kids nd husband were given visa.

1. my problem is when I re apply will I be the main applicant while my husband nd kids will be dependant?

2. Should I use hotel reservation or I should use the same relative (my uncle) as my contact person.

kindly help me cos I need to start asap.

thank you.

I doubt.

dustydee:

Period! I was lazy to type this when I read the transcript. The applicant cannot afford the trip based on her earnings.

SkinnyDude:
you are going to visit your cousin with no invitation letter from him. the lie wasn't solid. next time, cook up a nice lie. you were luck they didn't ask you why you want to visit him. you might stammer your life away.

That will be like waiting forever, I think Gej can turn everything around wen voted in again

I have read so many responses to this write up many of which gave wise tips but the one lamenting the green passport not having respect is annoying.
May I authoritatively inform the writer of that piece that the Nigeria E passport is as date one of the most respected today in the world because of its high security features. It is in fact second to the United States passport in meeting ICAO standard.
Granting or refusal of visa is based not on the Country’s passport but other issues some of which are as follows ;
●Confidence of the appplicant during interview
●Evidence of strong ties at home to prove that the applicant is not abandoning home
●Evidence of livelihood to prove that applicant will not be a public charge in host Country
●Previous travel history hence the question have you travelled before is more important than people think
●It's always a good proof of financial independence when you book a reservation and pay for at least a night rather than filling your relation's address as the place to stay in the States
●Age is also important. Do you look as old as you claim?
●Dress neatly and not to impress
●Never appear desperate, be relaxed.
●Never be in a hurry to produce any document except when it's requested for
Good luck

Od31:


US embassy dont asked for invitation letter. it is not relevant in most cases for tourist visa.

englishmart:

nairaman66:


Your answers were too straight forward! You should have stressed at point. And you feel highly apprehensive when answering! If I were the VO, I would have done thesame.. Any way, better luck next time..

jaybee3:

He probably got denied because of the following reasons:

He earns just a lil over $800 per month <= not enough money considering he has two dependants

He has no travel history <= a big red flag after the insufficient income has been taken into account

He has family ties in America<= he is most likely not going to come back after taking the first two points into consideration

SkinnyDude:
ok. i didnt know. but his reason for travelling was baseless

onatisi:
you are wrong. I know of a lady that told the vo she was earning 100k and yet was given a visa . So the applicant monthly salary must be equal or above the total amount the applicant wants to spend on the journey Hell no. That is why statement of accounts are usually asked for to know how much the applicant has in his or her account. So u must be earning 500k to be granted a visa? Visa in nigeria is 40 to 50% based on luck and vo discretion. The vo didn't even ask for the bank statement to know how much the applicant is worth ,may he even has millions there.

B1/B2 visa includes tourists

ifyalways:
@OP, you were denied/ not eligible simply because you have no " travel history".

You've never taken a holiday before, it's strange you suddenly want to travel to us.

Before you re-apply next time, build a travel history. Start by going to places like Ghana, Kenya, Dubai or even SA for vacation.

It's quite difficult to get US, UK or Schengen visa with a virgin passport if you are below 40.
