She flipped through the pages of the old passport over and over and over, wetin she dey find I no know There's this particular visa that doesn't have my passport photo on it but I travelled with it, she kept using her hand to feel that page The next thing I heard Sorry, you can convince another VO next time and she handed me the blue slip My people I'm yet to recover from it...........lol Pls tell me where I went wrong o And how long do I wait before I reapply Conference is coming up in May LadyG, Twood, Seyewest, Justwise, LagosNIV Pls advice Thanks |

dotcomnamename: doing pretty good, You? |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by dotcomnamename: 10:01am On Mar 17, 2017 |
Cryptolady: Eyahhh, but immediately you could have just said '' oh sorry my mistake, I've been to the UK twice not three times". I believe she wanted to approve your visa before but she was convinced that you lied to her. US embassy always take anything you say very serious. I believe its your nervousness. Don't worry you will still get it. One thing I realised about visa application is if you don't give up you will surely get it. 5 Likes |

@crytolady this is one of the rare times I will tell an applicant to reapply immedately. IMO, it wasn't the mistake you made that caused the refusal. Rather, I'm of the opinion that the VO was not convinced your visas were real. Way forward: When reapplying . In the reason for refusal, state that 1. You made a mistake an answered 3 times instead of 2ice for previous UK travel 2. That you believe the VO was not convinced your visas were real. And you are willing to demonstrate the authenticity of the visa if need be by any means possible and within your ability (I assume the visas are real). And that they are welcome to conduct any validity checks if they are so minded to So , if you can cough up another 50k go for it #myopinion 9 Likes |

LadyGuinivere: I support LadyG and if possible have the used ticket for that trip with you (That is if possible) also it maybe because it's on the old Nigeria passport..Go ahead be very confident. Good luck |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by ladylco: 12:00pm On Mar 17, 2017 |
LadyGuinivere: I agree with LadyG, it not a matter of digging any pit and entering it nor answering 3 rimes instead of 2 times, the VO was simply not convinced of the authenticity of the visas and due to the short time frame he/she could not conduct verification, Just follow LadyG's advise and reapply atleast the interview will give you the opportunity to explain yourself. And try to build your confidence when next you go for the interview. All the best! |

1. Awww...you said you have travelled thrice to the UK, she was probably looking for the entry and exit stamps for the three trips. 2. She was probably checking to see if the visa was genuine. 3. You have strong ties. How about reapplying in April? In the "why were you refused a visa", say 214b and briefly state the mistake you made. 4. Too many "conferences". "VO; What's the conference about" = describe the conference and connect it with how it advances your career. All the best. Cryptolady: |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by Cryptolady: 2:21pm On Mar 17, 2017 |
Thanks everyone I appreciate your response. I gave the VO a breakdown of my profession, reason for travel and how attending conferences was part of my job description, and all through my explanation she was nodding in approval.( I was like, I'm definitely getting it).Until we got to the travel history/passport part. I asked her why she was denying me and she couldn't give any tangible reason, she only said the blue paper would explain.(Hmmmmn). I'm grateful for the words of encouragement LadyG,Seyewest, KaptainAfrika,dotcomamename, and every other name I have failed to mention. I'll reapply ASAP and share my testimony. God bless you all. 1 Like 1 Share |

Please can someone help on the next step to take. I applied for visiting visa for my mum. Have filled the ds160 form, paid and got appointment. Please what are the things she needs before the interview date. She is above 60yrs. Is it true she won't need finger printing and police clearance? What of medical report? Please her interview date is fast approaching and I need info on the necessary step to take. Thanks |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by OmoBendel24: 3:25pm On Mar 17, 2017 |
Cryptolady: Can I let this pass? I guess I will, but not without screaming and drumming it that you better be sure that visa wasn't a "cut and nail" stuff before you get bold and going about your next application at the US embassy.... "Aswear down"! Dazzol |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by Nobody: 3:40pm On Mar 17, 2017 |
efavour: Police clearance ke? . Is she coming to visit you or see a dr? That determines, the medical report part. But I know a sure banker question is 'how did your daughter get into America/ Or how did she become a citizen or a resident there'. |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by Nobody: 3:45pm On Mar 17, 2017 |
OmoBendel24: This advice is gold. |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by Cryptolady: 4:30pm On Mar 17, 2017 |
OmoBendel24: If it was cut and nail like you said I'm pretty sure I would have been detained or even arrested by the UK Border Control at Heathrow But then nothing of such happened. Thanks for your input though I appreciate. |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by efavour: 4:40pm On Mar 17, 2017 |
MsTiitii:I got in through marriage. I went through all that,medicals, finger printing and police clearance cos mine was immigrant visa. I have never done tourist visa and dont know whats required? Please i need someone to enlighten me. She is just coming for omugwo. |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by KaptainAfrika: 4:52pm On Mar 17, 2017 |
1. So long as you entered the US legally, no problem. 2. No document is required apart from her Nigerian passport, confirmation page with passport photo uploaded and an additional passport photo attached, payment receipts. 3. Very important, to fill the forms honestly. You should do a mock interview for your mum, it helps. All the best! efavour: 1 Like |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by Nobody: 5:03pm On Mar 17, 2017 |
efavour: LOOL, she will be fine. Just put her through the questions that was asked on the form and what you filled. She does not need medical or police report. The VO's actually tend to favor mature people because the likelihood of them running is zero to none(LOL). Congratulations on your baby!!!! |

Hello, please, i want to ask if it is very important to have traveling experience before one can apply for b1/b2 visa. I await your quick response. Thanks in anticipation. Segun. |

seg1759: Not necessary, but good. More important is the diligent study of this thread. If you can't read all, try at least 30 pages and judge for yourself how enlightening it can be. All the best! |

seg1759:It is just a tool used to guage your credibility in using the visa applied for, for the purpose it was intended for if issued.Other parameters can be used to establish credibilty, and satisfy the Vo you will return after your trip, breach immigration laws or be a burden to the state. |
