Good morning Sir/Ma. I just came back from Houston last week after my child birth but i am considering going back to school over there for a nursing course. My worry is, i don't know if i will have issues with immigration later since i have a visiting visa not student visa. Please i will really want to here from those that have experience over this or something similar and if it's a problem, what is the best way for me to go about it.

Hello, Happy New Year to U all!

I need some guidance on:
A 20yrs old girl who wants to travel for tourist and vacation to the USA. When asked why she is traveling to the usa alone what do you advise should be her answer?

Her Father is sponsoring for her trip.
Will they require any form of documentation of the father from the girl?

Will really appreciate a good answer, Thanks!

Beforw I give my opinion, I'll give a bit of preamble so hopefullt my answer will make sense. To get a visa, the truth is always the advice here. Why? Cos its better and cos u are relaxed. In the light of that I don't think anybody should give u prepared answers. She knows why she's travelling alone so only she can answer.
Applicants arre advised to carry along any documentation that supports their assertion so yes she's expected to go with his bank statement. Whether they l look at it sha nobody knows.

Azzin eh @neff no matter how many times one answers the question people will always ask 'what are my chances?'. I don't know how folks not the vo are s'posed to know

@neff where the nursing forms na?!

You can apply for a tourist visa from India but you need to show ties to India to prove you will return to India after the visit, in this case, your education.

We are not demigods here, we can't predict your chances of getting the visa. It's 50/50, best of luck

Hello Helpful House.

Myself and spouse to be wanna apply for USA honeymoon. the registry is to take place ending of Januray, so that is why we haven't started the application yet cause we wanna be formally bound as married this gives confidence .

The major wedding will take place in March and we wish to Honeymoon in the USA April , we will both be on leave at work from March ending to early April

Now question is i havent seen much of people come to this thread for visit cause of honeymoon purpose whats happening , cause we dont want the general Dubai Dubai thats why we have decided either houston Texas or the very fun place Miami


Also are we required to fill separate DS 160 forms, or just one application suffice for both of us since we will be travelling together.

Please candid advice

Also @mummybk, if you want my candid advise, study nursing here in Nigeria, practice for 2 years, write the board exams and migrant using the channels I posted in the last few pages. During the period, you can always visit the US on your B1/B2 visa and just lounge.

My cousin who is now a citizen is studying nursing in US, and my experience with her was just discouraging. It was too stressful, especially cos she had kids. The most annoying part is you can still get a job in the US if you studied in Nigeria, so why stress yourself?
My opinion though.

I think it's a peaceful way to migrate with nothing breathing down your neck, arrive in US with a job waiting for you and your family.

Thanks nerf. Good to meet u here again. What other ways are best to migrate? I'll need all the help and info i can get. Others, please assist as well

Please I have a concern and I want u to help me with a candid advice.
My wife and baby went to the US for Christmas in December but they have decided to stay and not to return back to Nigeria. They were stamped in for 6 months at the POE.
However, I have a US visa too which will expire in March this year, I have only travelled to the US once in 2014 when I spent just 10 days there and I don't really like to visit the US
Now that my wife and kid decide to overstay, and I intend to renew my visa via dropbox which will expire in March this year, wont I be likely denied a renewal. As at March which my visa will expire they will still be in the US, won't it hinder my chances of renewal ?
Thanks

OmoBendel24:


In all sincerity, your chances are there and quite slim, and will get slimmer the longer they stay. You can actually go ahead and even renew now, that might likely work. But be sure you can't enter the USA by the time your family exceeds the approved period of stay by CBP (mostly 180 days). Mind you, it seems to me that you are privy to this though, hopefully I'm wrong, but just know that there are consequences. You will just have to kiss US goodbye once they overstay and stay back. There's yet time for you to correct this error, I rest my case

LadyGuinivere:

Exactly @the bolded. He who comes to equity must come with clean hands.

On a second thought and consideration, I don't even see how your visa will be renewed sir. If you try to renew early, the reason for the urgency will be glaring (you have relocated them and you want to join them before your current valid visa expires), this also affects your ability to run and catch even the next flight right now (CBP will most likely know you to "filter" wella), if you wait till March, their plan to overstay becomes glaring both to VO and CBP, this coupled with the "relocation" point will still spoil the renewal process. Heads or tails, you loose the visa and the opportunity to be able to enter the US likely! So, CANDID ADVICE? Get your family back to Nigeria before it affects things

alhajiwasiu55:

Thanks sir. But if the school finally changes her status to f1, and the kid f2, isn't that legal ? And will I still have issues renewing it ? After all her status would have been changed to f1
