Good evening house.

I am new here. My interview date is early August. Going for a wedding and then use the opportunity to see hubby. He is based in the US. Already, I have applied for an immigrant visa, but just going to visit and come back while waiting for the immigrant visa.
Btw, hubby is one of the groomsmen and the person wedding is our mutual friend. The wedding iv already stated that accommodation is taken care of excluding the flight. Hubby is paying for my flight ticket.

Please I am open to any advice, contributions or whatsoever. Thank you and keep on doing the good work.

Ties to PROVE that you will return home.

Nothing else matters!
Unless you get this sorted you will be refused for 214b.

Nazysandy:

Thanks for the response.
I have letter from my place of work showing I'm actually granted leave, I have a copy of the immigrant visa case acceptance confirmation to show I have to come back for that one, then my house lease.
I don't know if there's something else I need.

LadyGuinivere:

The fact that you have a job and not that you were granted a leave ipso facto is your tie.
The immigrant thing and the fact that your husband is in the us raises a clear immigrant intent.
Good luck

@omobendell I have updated the ist page with B visa google interview alone. The other one is for student visa. Thanks.
If only una go gree refer them to hear froom the horses's mouth

Do you have kid(s) Where are they?

kenkelewu:


I suggest that you volunteer that information before you are asked and explain in the detail the purpose of this visit. Let the VO know that you understand the implications of violating the terms of your B1/B2 if granted and that you would not want o jeopardize the chances of getting your IV to relocate and join your spouse legally. Having an IV petition does not stop you from getting an NIV, you just have to be able to convince the VO that you have enough ties to make you come back and continue with what you are currently processing.
Good luck

Hello and good morning lovely people. I currently have 2 passports. One expired and one valid. The signature I used on the first is different from the 2nd, they are both Virgin passports.

Please does this pose any risk to my chances of getting granted VISA as I am married and have a beautiful daughter and we are all travelling for vacation 'when' grated VISA August (that's our interview month) here in Abuja.

I expect a reply soon.

Thank you lovely people.

Special thanks to @Lady G.

Primarily your signature is your name or identifier written in your own hand. Whether you have one distinct signature or several of them is not as important as the intent with which you use different signatures. If you're under suspicion of trying to hide your identity or of committing fraud, then the fact that you have different signatures may be seen as circumstantial evidence of your intent to hide your identity or to commit a crime.

The critical matter and expected question should the visa officer decides to check is the reason why you have two different signatures on one document and the uses to which the signatures are put.

Lol your/hubby's story means no lies/discrepancy in your initial ds form, interview et all. That is hope you did as you stated in your form/ interview.

For example, if you filled duration of stay as 2 weeks and you ended up spending 2 months, it's a red flag. If you filled going to Chicago and you ended up going to alaska, another red flag etc.


My very big fear!
Hi, what if one gets a cheaper ticket for that other route? Yes, one can buy a connecting ticket and show at POE but the stamp of another route will show in your passport if you need to renew. Abi one will send the ticket as evidence when renewing?
Please, what can one do in this instance? Thank you

Your very 1st visit should tally with what you filled/said during your interview. Subsequent visits may deviate.

That is what i mean by clean story. Cheers

As much as it's being said on here that having a close family member in the States doesn't deter u from getting a US tourist visa but unfortunately otherwise was the case this morning. Transcript as follows.;

This is my second time. First application was in 2014 also for a conference and btw then and now, a lot had changed in my situation. There was actually no intention to stay after the said stated date in the ds160 form.

As much as it's being said on here that having a close family member in the States doesn't deter u from getting a US tourist visa but unfortunately otherwise was the case this morning. Transcript as follows.;

V.O: Good morning (with all smiles)
Me: Good morning ma'am ( def filled with smiles too)
V.O: Why and were are you going to in the United States?
Me: To attend the Unconventional Resources Technology Conference 2016 in San Antonio, Texas and would also be visiting my wife after the conference.
V.O: What's your residential status in the country?
Me: Student
V.O Duration of the Conference?
Me: August 1-3rd
V.O: Do you know anyone in the United States?
Me: Yes! My wife.
V.O: What's her status in the States, what does she do and were does she live in the States?
Me: Registered Nurse, LPR and lives in Atlanta
V.O: How many times have you seen each other after she left your home country
Me: Twice
V.O: Where else have you being to?
Me: United Arab Emirates, Nigeria and Netherlands and Greece
V.O: I am very sorry and I need you to understand what am about to say. Looking at your information you seem qualified for a visa and I would have loved to issue you one but your wife’s presence in the United States had cost you this. IT WILL BE VERY HARD for you to get a tourist visa BECAUSE YOUR WIFE is in the United States. Please kindly tell her to put in your papers for the IV.
Me: *cuts in* I do understand but this trip isn't majorly on visiting my wife. The conference is much needed to meet up with a Professor in relation to my forthcoming internship.
V.O: I do understand but like I said your wife’s presence in the United States ........... Go ahead and put in for your IV.

shrekandfiona:

Sorry for your refusal. In my opinion being a student is not a strong enough tie to your country of residence. Why don't you wait till you get a well paid job before reapplying?

When I read your transcript I was of the opinion that you can always abandon your studies for the US. Then imagine what the VO thinks...

What country by the way?

Itstyme:


I do understand your point but if you read the transcript properly, being a student wasn't the reason for refusal but just because I have my spouse who lives in the United States. Other two colleagues whom we attended the interview together also single, got approved for the same conference. Country is Turkey and not in Nigeria. We were all Nigerians.
