I travelled with only 2months left but I didn't find it funny/easy.i was taken into an office n grilled 2 good times for about an hour. My luggages were brought n searched n when nothing incriminating was found,I was given to stay past my visa expiry date.i never made the mistake of staying to the date because I knew it was a trap,so be prepared n ready for anything..I'll advise she goes for renewal

I am not sure this is a general occurrence cos I traveled 2 weeks to my visa expiry some years back n I was only stamped in for two weeks. In fact I was stamped in till the date of the visa expiry. I was not scrutinized in any way. POE was Atlanta

Good afternoon and happy Sunday house. Please house, is it possible to get an interview date by first week of May? Can someone point to anyone who can give me an answer?
I'd appreciate an answer to this.
This is urgent.

Hello gurus, I applied for usa visa with my wife 3times and we were denied, now am thinking I should apply alone for my annual leave,what is the chances of getting a visa...

No one know your chances.
We have no idea what prompted them to deny you the visa 3 times.
Maybe you were the reason why your wife was denied. So, if that is the case, applying alone won't help.
In essence, no one knows your chances.

Okay, you can check these websites for hotels

If you are staying for one month or more, you can always consider renting an apartment.

In other news,
Our CE friend may be eligible for Visa on Arrival o. You may want to read through this link for more information. I've had a friend come to Nigeria using VOA and I think you should explore this option
https://portal.immigration.gov.ng/pages/visaOnArrivalFaq

Wow! Thanks for that information. She gave application to agent already and i believe he already submitted. She will know outcome soon. I didn't know we have Residency Card in Nigeria. That should be the TRUE green card. Lol.

Good day everyone and all gurus in house. I have 2 questions to ask. I returned back from US in February this year after staying 3 weeks. I intend to travel back in May (next month). Please can you advise if it is too soon to travel into US again, though I was stamped in 6 months but only stayed for 3 weeks. And again Chicago was my first point of entry though I stayed in Atlanta, I'm thinking to go through Atlanta this time around, I want to know if there won't be any queries?

Nothing wrong with the place except that it isn't a popular tourist destination especially for someone who is visiting the US for the first time

Hello Everyone, My last question on this thread was not fully answered; I tried making a visa interview appointment for my uncle but the earliest date I saw was August. But someone who wants to help and charge a fee says he can make a special appointment for End of April/ Early May, 2018. The event which we require the visa for, is taking place in the second week of May. Is it possible to get a special appointment?
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 3 by Mrjoshtower: 11:03pm On Apr 15, 2018
I still have not gotten any help tips as to regards my case :

Please House I was able to get through to the embassy and canceled the previous appointment date made by agent, and I booked for July. Now I was not able to get the username and password from him so I can change what ever he prepared me as.
How can i do this?
Should I go on and fill in another DS 160 form.
Won't it affect my interview with the VO.
Pls I need help
Thanks

Unless you have a genuine reason to be back, i'd say wait at least a year. If your only reason is just visiting and you are going back so soon, they may view you as having immigrant intent. They may think you won't come back. Simple reason is because this is a pattern that they have seen over and over from people who test the waters, go back to their countries to sell assets/say final goodbyes etc and then immigrate. Just a thought.

hello guru in the house. I came back in march on a united states sponsored program after spending 6-week. Now i am planning of visiting in December with my family. My ministry is planning of sponsoring me. Will I go with only the sponsorship letter because the ministry is not allow to issue out a statement of account to an individual.

Most times people see certain questions and ignore it because you can get the answers by yourself.
Check the US embassy for criteria for expedited appointment. Does the purpose of visit qualify? If yes then you have your answer. If no, then you ask your agent how he's getting it. You are paying him. They means you can ask him barrages of questions

Guys, one advice i'll want you all to take is the "do not lie factor". Just say things as they are and just answer the questions honestly and leave the rest to them. During my last interview there was a lady standing in front of me. Very smart looking and formally dressed . Her story was flowing well till the lies became glaring. Find the bits of what I can recall:

VO: Pass me your passport
Lady:okay
VO: Why are you going to the US
Lady: I'm going to spend my vacation
VO: Where in the US
Lady: Orlando, FLorida
VO: What do you do ?
LAdy: I work at Fidelity bank ...........
VO: Tell me more about what you do for Fidelity Bank
Lady: (She describes her job role/ day-day activity which was very sweet) She had the fidelity scarf on her neck
VO: Are you travelling alone?
LAdy: NO. I'm travelling with my fiancee
VO: Does your fiancee already have a visa
Lady: Yes he does
VO: Do you have a copy of the visa with you ?
Lady: Yes (she passes a photocopy of the fiancee's visa to the visa officer)
VO: When did you get engaged
LAdy: 8 months ago
VO: Your fiancee applied for his visa in February this year and he mentioned that he was travelling alone
Lady: she stammers and said the fiancee changed plans
VO: Your visa is not approved under section bla bla bla. He hands back her passport and a blue paper to her which I believe states the reason for denial.


She would have just been straight that way the VO would not have had any reason to suspect any foul play. I went there with the "whatever" attitude and didnt in any way make up stories. It was up to them to either issue me or not issue me
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 3 by james87871: 11:37am On Apr 16, 2018

I truly failed to see the lie in this case.
She may have decided to join the fiance or just as she said the fiancee may have changed the plans.
All I see here is a close-minded VO.

But thanks anyway for sharing this experience that would surely help many people to be careful given that some VO can't think outside the box

The VO knew nothing about them and remember by law fiancées are not recognised . He probably thought she just got someone’s visa page and present . I’m also not a fan of using someone’s profile to strengthen my application because I feel like I may not know a lot about the person or his/her circumstances.

And that particular VO laid emphasis on travel history as he asked all interviewees about there travel history.

These VO’s go through the DS160 entries made on their screen and many times make a decision based on that.
