It's all over your post but I will say the KEY turn-off is you re-aplying after 5 months for a "Tourist" visa when it was not an Emergency Medical issue or an important course you already paid for with proof or some business meeting(even though technically you were not wrong). Were you going for summer, winter, spring...? The one thing a consular officer will see even if He/She is an intern is a big screaming DESSPERATION! Travel somewhere else for the next 2 years or more. Make your first trip alone by applying to attend a show, seminar or conference etc and the next time you apply you child would probably be old enough to run around and speak to the visa officer when he starts lecturing them about Disney characters ........So deal is, plan to go to Florida in the East Coast. Sunshine state baby! and spend at least one week in Florida and you can travel the rest of the time to your dream NY state or any of the several hundred vacation spots here in the US. Blessings! 2 Likes 1 Share |

chingyjant: I noticed the work visa bit too! Perhaps, he chose to sum up the whole thing rather than specify what each and everypne got. Never applied for a US visa so I wouldn't know why you would be granted a work Visa when you apply for a tourist visa! 4 Likes |

Somorin#1:You guys are on course.Provided you guys entered the marriage in good faith and have enough pictures to back it up.Make sure she knows much about you as per what you do for a living,where you reside(State and city),How much you earn.Generally everything that make two people husband and wife,records of western union sent to her,copies of letters sent to her irrespective of the fact letters are no longer in vogue.In all make sure you document every dealings you have with her.Have it in mind that it might take her 0ne year to fifteen months before she can cross over.I will largely encourage you to try to enroll her in any adult class around where she can learn English language before she gets the green card to come join you for it will save you alot of embarrassment when she get here and also make things easier for her when she goes for the interview.Wish you guys best of luck |

Seriously , the best way for you to prepare for an interview is by acting as if you speak french and not english. What I mean is , been a french speaker while learning on how to speak english makes you want to answer straight as the question is given. You don't jump the gun . Example : how much do you earn? I earn 30000 naira monthly . Please do not beat about the bush . I remember when I was preparing for a french exam for an interview . The fact that my french was not perfect enough made me answer directly and precise as to what the interviewer asked me. |

360command: makes you want to answer straight as the question is given. You don't jump the gun . Example : how much do you earn? I earn 30000 naira monthly . Please do not beat about the bush . Exactly. Your answers should be short, simple, sweet and straight to the point. @ OP You were asked your occupation, yet you were ranting about your educational qualifications. You are not a practicing engineer, so why mention it? You told the guy you've made about 6million naira over 4 years(thats basically 1.5 million naira per annum and you do not know your monthly income/salary). Youve also said you want to spend one million naira on a 2 weeks ( less than a month) vacation WTF!! The interviewer must have been thinking "this dude is a joker" it's no surprise you got denied. No surprise at all ! ValNweze: BULLSHIT ! This doesn't apply for tourist visas. It might be an issue in a case where the purpose of getting the visa was to attend a conference and then the individual shows up weeks or months after the conference has ended. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Let me be sincere with you, they rejected your application because they have reached the quota for the day. Number of visas are allocated to each country yearly by the home office, these visas are broken down to daily issuance, when they reach the day's quota, all other interviews are all formalities.even if you bring God on earth, nothing will happen. 2 Likes |

1. Do not be in a haste to reapply as this would come across as being overly desperate to come into the US. 2. Your choice of NY as your tourist destination with your family and new kid looks grand, however, I think in the mind of the immigration officer, he would have thought you would choose another city which is less expensive, less noisy and busy for your family to enjoy. Tourist visa applicant are always in a haste to mention the capital cities of countries they are visiting as their place of interest. Whereas, a bit of further research could have shown that there are ideal family tourist city other than NY which is more cheaper and suitable for a newly born kid. 3. A good means of refusal lies with finances. Never ever give too much details to an immigration officer. If an immigration officer is inquisitive, then the officer is entitled to probe further. Make it short, simple and precise to the point. 'How much do you earn monthly? - As a self employed Interior designer, I work based on contracts gotten and I make yearly an average of 6million, evidence to that, you can find within my bank statements and pay slips.' 4. Stating that you do not know why you were last refused is an error. Generic or not, the financial responsibility to the last refused application was on you. When you are not able to recall the reasons given within one ot two sentences, it gives the immigration officer doubts about the seriousness of your travel. Cheers for the next time. |

If there was steady electricity supply, good roads, security, job opportunities, stable economy etc in this amalgamation called Nigeria, the propensity of most Nigerians to always want to fly out would minimal. Why don't we st@ inculcating a sense of trio-contending nationalism? The yorubas can make Odudua Nation a place far more better than the US and Canada combined given their intellectual and technological prowess.

I'm surprised with the way those granted visas commented on how glad there were as if travelling abroad is the ultimate achievement in the existence of a black man's living in a third world country. All my friends are always shocked when I reply that I wouldn't budge if there's a vessel the size of Titanic waiting at wharf for any to freely hop in to America, 89•9% of the Nigerian, especially the youths (15-30) wants to go to Amereeka, when I ask what if we all go, who will remain to fix this place? They'll reply - shey na your problem? They attack me for not being patriotic when I have long being denouncing being a Nigerian but an Oduduan given various reasons but confused at their propensity to travel out at the slightest opportunity or Visa Lottery. Hypocritical thing is they proclaim '9ja Till I Die' here claiming another nationality when asked by strangers abroad. We just consume, we produce nothing to the world. Regardless of my love and hate for America. Let them keep denying us, even let them deny everyone so we can stay put and tackle the mess. Most of those flying out to US and the rest of the world are escapists who don't want to engage the situation here. Nigeria to me is a war-zone, war of attrition, graver than Iraq or Somalia, anyone USA stamps their visa to go out is a dissenter. The cogent question I asked friends whenever the 'travelling out' subject is roused is - let's imagine many of you my friends and other millions of youths have ja commot finish (scattered around the world without reason to come back). for a very loooooooooooong time......do they think whatever system whose currency eventually became 5times stronger than that of the British pounds would urge them with warmly welcome to return back home and enjoy the same basic amenities and social infrastructures that enticed them to USA and UK for which those who were left behind yeeeaaaarrrrsss ago strived and died to attain ?

It makes no sense and all this VO know exactly the leaders and countries that are shaite! As I write, their is 24 hours surveillance of Nigeria and almost all other countries both by agents in the country and military forces who live just off the Atlantic coast and every information about Nigeria is sent back almost as soon as it happens including the desperation of a lot of Nigerians to travel to the US by all means after voting useless people who will never make Nigeria a better country everyone in the world would queue up to get the visa!

CyberG: Visa ko, Mastercard ni. I don't think our problem stems from the lumpuproletariat's inability to discern and vote for the right leaders. The truth is- there's no way a british experiment-gone-wrong can produce genuine leaders. No matter how many seemingly convincing, sweet talking and all promising political contenders are presented to us, the over-religious, mentally colonised majorities are still left with voting for one out of many Defools. It's elevating to equate our so called leaders with the imaginary Devil hence Defools because the Devil and his legions at least work tirelessly to keep inferno illuminated with fiery flames, unlike Nigeria in this 2013 where I among millions still can't sleep smoothly without uninterrupted electricity light, singing mosquitoes and a heat so sweat inducing it once made me dreamt my idle standing fan is working only to wake up from the sweat-drenched bed to see darkness. The Nigeria structure is such that it bends a virtuous ruler to compromise, it's inherently self-corrupting. It's needs a total overhaul. Full Reboot. Reformatted and install a new Operating System. One were foreign concept of governing is applied no more. Where any would be leaders, governor, senator, legislator, minister, etc should venture into government under an agreement where he/she will be made to swear oath on whatever their expected duties, promises and manifestos over the activated energies of Osisikankwu, Ayilala, Amadioha, Ogun, Shango etc on national TV with a provisio that any attempt to reverse it be met with so, so, and so dire consequences of their offspriings and generation. Then let's see who would dare to embezzle the public funds, who would think of misappropriation or corruption. Nigeria would be transformed in less than 3years. White people don't believe in all these 'woo-woo' but their borrowed system of government sure isn't working here because it's was their conception and an system that suits there. Why should our tested ancient form of check-and-balance system of government? Because it doesn't favour ill deeds. 1 Like 1 Share |

babyfaiz: Thanks everyone for your candid advise and opinions. Just to point out.. They never placed a ban of any sort on my passport and I applied alone without my family the second time. After reading so many replies, I can deduce from the person who wrote below Typical Naija mentality of always playing victim. Your math didn't add up. Average Hotel rooms in NYC are $200 per night: 2wks=$2400, another $3000 for flight, feeding and transport: = $1000, other expenses = $500, shopping=$1000. So u are spending at least $8,000. U r spending about 21% of ur gross income in 2wks. Remember this is supposed to be from ur discretionary spending. U already told the consular that u would spend $6000. Now that you are granted visa, you are talking about all these "ills" in America. Show me one of ur friends who is not doing well, I'll show u 10 Naija folks in US who make more than 6mill in a yr. I can also show 10 Naija folks who make up to 10mil/yr who were all denied. Why is everything has to be I have money more than u, therefor, the rules are different for me? 3 Likes |

adconline: Do you know what they call cost of living at all? I don't think you do. 6 million naira in 9ja is equivalent of earning 15 million naira over there. Everything you pay for. There accomodation is times 2 of ours, taxes, bills, health service, school fees.. just to mention a few. Does the consular know if I have other avenues/ source of income. i.e other businesses, money from families, spouse, inheritances. That is why the UK is more transparent and straight forward in there visa processes. And more so, the hotel I even booked is 120 us dollars per night. How would the consular know all these when he did not probe further,everyone will advise one, to only answer to questions you're asked. To me there is no transparency in there visa processes. Why don't they ban applicants for 10 years like the UK do when they feel you have lied or forged documents. While will i state the same figures and get visa to 4 other countries and the US will be different? And from what I know the UK is more expensive than the US. The US ds160 form is not well detailed, they spend there time asking questions where a most definite "NO" will be the answer. Did Mutalab say he was a terrorist? Stupid questions all round. Have you seen how detailed the Candian visa form is? Where they will ask for all dependant from your nuclear to extended families. They evaluate your standard of living. Why does the US visa require an oral interview? There is always sentiment or sense of dislike when you interview someone in person and this could influence the outcome of the interview. People who know/ understand when people say American's see themselves differently from the world. They believe they are better and the power house of the world. I have never planned living abroad not to even talk of the us. The thing that drives me is knowledge and exposure you get when you visit different countries. It improves ones personality and gives you a good understanding of what the world is like. 1 Like |

chingyjant: [b]Like I said, my family and I all were awarded H-1 Visas.. #Fact! Secondly, I got that Visa in France not Nigeria. I guess that must have also aided it somehow. Funny enough, my two youngest siblings were both 4 & 6 at the time. It was a company that sent us to France, but the American trip was personal. Simply vacationing. Now I am not sure if my father applied for a tourist or professional visa, but simply put, everybody in my house got a H-1 Visa. Infact, my American and U.K Visas (Both obtained in France) were the easiest Visas I have ever gotten in my life. If I tell you the story of my British Visa, you will prolly say I'm also lying. I didn't even have complete documentations with me on that one. Because I was running late and looking for a parking space in Paric (which is a nightmare), I rushed out of the vehicle and forgot one of my envelopes in the car. I thought I had lost it, only for the guy to say and I quote "You are really making my life difficult right now. Anyways, I'm hungry and need to go on my break. Go over there ( pointing towards a cubicle) and pay". I swear it.. That was it. My belief was that our living and working in France helped. The guy actually said 'Wow! A Family of Professionals. I like that!'. The only Visa I have obtained from Nigeria is my French Shenghen Visa. The interviewer was such an arsehole that day. That was a company trip so I guess he had no choice but to issue me my Visa. ow, I have a French resident Permit. o and by the way, I have only been to the U.S once in my life. Intend to go again in September for my sister in laws wedding. I know it's surreal, but that's my experience. If you have the patience to look through my post history, I believe I have once said it here that I have never been denied a Visa in my life before, Today, I have U.S H-1 Visa (expired), A British Tourist Visa (expired as well), a French resident permit ( expired) and a Canadian Passport (Recently gotten). Same for everyone in my family of 7. Don't hate! [/b] 4 Likes |
