omotolaaaa: My visa application was denied today by the Chinese guy in window 1 in Lagos, he didn't request for documents or anything else, I even tried to pass my documents to him, well I have started filling another form to reapply because that guy didn't grant me fair hearing at all. I'm a student in the university here, single, going to see my friend in New York City and i'll be staying with him. , although in my previous application I booked a hotel with my mum's card and I was heading to atlanta, but since I didn't know anyone there, I decided to use the state where I know someone now maybe it will help me, I don't intend to over stay in the u.s, my passport isn't virgin, i've travelled to dubai severally, dear v.o kindly advise me for my situation and also help us tell your colleagues in lagos to please see our documents and don't assume we are immigrants.

abujaniv:
If you are a student in Nigeria and going to the U.S. as a tourist, then a B1/B2 visa is valid. What you can't do is go to the U.S on a B1/B2 and then change to a student visa (F1) while there. Happy travels!

chloe7: well I was denied , I answered all questions appropriately without lies, I was really telling the truth and the Chinese guy still denied me, he didn't request for any documents from me, as someone already said no fair hearing at all in Lagos , I applied for b2 , although I intend reapplying and I don't know if that's advisable even though I have signed and submitted another form and ready to pay visa fees again.

abujaniv: Thanks for your question. While every case is different and the consular officer will determine your eligibility for the U.S. visa, applicants traveling on B1/B2 visas for medical care must prove their ability to pay for the expenses, and that includes any outstanding debts for use of public assistance.

Guidette: @VisaOfficer @abujaniv
I am planning to apply for a US visa in 2weeks in Abuja. I am a foreign medical student planning to do my clinical rotations in the US. I have to complete 80 weeks of rotations in the US but I can only apply for a B1/B2 visa because my medical school is located in the Caribbean. I know that because of the visa I am applying for, I can only stay for 6 months at a time.
So for the question that asks about how long I plan to stay in the US, do I put 2years or 6 months?

Thanks.

Blesseddisciple: Good day VO

kmoney82: Hello VO,

I applied for a tourism visa some years back while studying in the uk to visit my aunt in the us but was refused. Now I'm back in nigeria married and been working for about 2 years now, I intend to reapply with my wife and we will be staying in a hotel in another city because my aunt lives in NY and I used her as my us contact the last time I applied.
My question now is, on the ds-160 form form which asks if you have a contact in the us. Should I put no or yes considering that I used my aunts address in my first application but I will staying in a hotel this time around in a different city.

Thanks

Awaiting your response.
