So if it is bout showing strong ties how do I do that especially when I wasnt even asked to show any documents.

My brother, let me help, before our VisaOfficer comes to add more to you. You were getting it all right in the interview till you answered that you have somebody in the usa (your aunt) and she is successfully working (that's an oppurtunity of fixing you with a job) and you are going to stay with her (that's a free house, when you should be talking of hotel reservations) and finally you are not married (you are automatically telling the VO that you are not coming back, as aunty has in store for you a wifey once you get there) thousands have been turned back that way. The VO all knows that every naija has relations there, but when you are on visa like tourist or its likes, you don't go to relations, you go to hotels so try risk a few $100s dollars bills for hotel reservations and add up something to uncle SAM'S pocket. That is a good one for you. Let's still wait for our own VO to resume work for more tutorials that will enlighten us the more.

normaljenny: Thank you very much VisaOfficer for coming to our aids and saving us from all them scavengers.
My problem is that I have always wished to immigrate to the usa, but I do not have any relation to sponsor me. Though I have a fiancee that just moved to the usa and is already a legal resident as she was brought over by her dad. She can't come back just because of me as she is under her dad's roof now and her dad can't allow her to come now too. Can she petition a K1 (which I believe is a non-immigrant visa) to enable me move to the usa and wed her within the 90 days grace carried by the K1 visa to allow the petitioner (my fiancee) apply for adjustment of status to legal permanent resident for me. Will that be okay for me?

C me o: thank u visa officer. i would like to know if its true that anyone who will file a petition for someone should meet some socio-economic conditions. if this is true, what are the conditions? (if i may ask). Than u for ur anticipated response.

technokid: dear vo
1.) pls how long does it take to have a I-526 petition as an alien investor approved?
2.) is it possible to be denied a conditional green card during the interview if my petition was approved and why?
3.) what is the estimated time duration from filing the petition to receiving a conditional green card

miz4oxley: Visa Officer! Sir, a friend of mine he's a lucky DV winner, and was registered for him by an old corper mate. But, there are some issues, he's thinking might not make him opt for the programme and just jettison the stuff. The age his friend registered for his name is 4years older than his real age which reflects on his WAEC certificate which might be confirmed, and he also registered same details with his ECOWAS passport, and has applied to the UK and once refused. What do you think he can do now. Cos, he's giving up already and lost hope. I've been encouraging ma dude, and I told him I'll help him make enquiries here on what could be done? I so believe your reply would give a head way. Thanks

joechima: Visa officier!!Sir I did post earlier on my Spouse but the issue has been that my wife has not been able to get a job and it's been difficult for us,can she have somebody else support us for the marriage visa,can a friend be allowed to do it for us

VisaOfficer:

Hmm, well, based on the above, I don't see any reason why you shouldn't apply again... but if nothing about your life has changed since your last application, or if your last interview was very recent, it may be difficult to convince the officer that you are not an intending immigrant. Every case is different, so it's impossible to say anything definitive based on the above. Sorry, I know that's not a satisfying answer. My guess is that you are young and single and cannot yet demonstrate firm ties to your home country. Again, a refusal is not a permanent ban, but if nothing in your life has changed since your last refusal, you likely won't qualify the next time either.
