Hello house please help with this, my brother and his family applied for a visiting visa and their nterview was suppose to be on 11 but on getting there they were told there was a mistake while filling the form that the barcodes for each applicant were the same, should be different. Now they were given a TB form to go and reschedule and pick another date, is it possible for them to get another date next week? cos the iv letter stated they were to be in the us before the end of January. And some ppl at the embassy told them they could help reschedule to get a date within next week, is it advisable for him to employ their services?

Does having a mexican visa and stamp in ones passport,that was not honoured, increase ones chances of getting an American visa? @LadyG

@FPL I saw your submission on the other page about the refusal form being generic and the need to personalise it.
I also saw the otger guy's submission about us being treated in not so decent a fashion at the embassy.
Whilst I agree that the wait time should be less, the hall bigger and more seats provided I have a few things to note about us being Nigerians. (Caveat: this is my opinion o !)
People arw generally percieved the way they carry themselves. This country is filled with so many young and vibrant fellows with no jobs. In desperation they look outward. And as we have seen on this thread, people look for ways to Hoodwink the vos. The result? We all are percieved as crooks. As my people say , when one finger touches oil, it soils the whole hand.

On the other hand. Let's analyse our soverign and independent Nigeria. We exploy expats for reasons I'll never understand. The employers care less if their resident permits have expired. They use police escorts and sirens in our fine nation. When I land in the US, I stand in the longer queue for non citizens and I'm thoroughly frisked and questioned. No wahala. No be my pap land. However I land at MM highway to the hot arrival hall and guess what? I'm again in the long queue and the foreigners zoom past me.
I love Nigeria and I am so proud of this country. We need to change out image. We need to have pride in self and country. Only then can our passports carry weight.
Long live the FRN.

I was Denied US tourist visa 22nd December 2015. Was asked, where am I working , how much is my salary, which I answered, asked if I have traveled before and I said Yes, that am I married?, said no. Asked me if I have a child, also said No. She said she isn't satisfy with my answer that I should reapply. but my girlfriend was still pregnant as at that time and the baby suppose to come for January, but due to some medical issues, she put to bed on 30th December. please when is the right time for one to reapply or how long can one wait before one reapply?
Thanks!

LadyGuinivere:

IMO nope it wont

diggy4real:


But why? I taught maybe that could just act as an experience sort of since it is obviously stamped.

pinky2016:
Good day house,
I was to go to US for a conference with some of my former colleagues way back in 2010.
We all paid for the visa fees and dropped the payment receipt with the HR who was to help with the process. We were later told the date for our interview.
Couldn't go for the interview and since then I haven't applied for a US visa.
Now, I'm no longer with the firm and I want to apply for a visa.
My question now is, for me not going for the interview in 2010, will it have any negative effect on my fresh application and when i go for the interview?
Thx

LadyGuinivere:

If I offer you a job and u never clocked in or worked for a single day, will it count as experience on your cv?
That is without going into the debate of the weight of a mexican visa...

diggy4real:


How will they get to know? Since they only check for stamps.

LadyGuinivere:
When u enter a country ,your passport is stamped upon entry and exit. They don't "just check for stamps"


This is where we part ways. I deduce an intention to misrepresent. I'm afraid I have nothing to offer in terms of advice.

LadyGuinivere:

Check with gtb.dunno the exchange rate they use

LadyGuinivere:

You are asked to reapply when your personal circumstance has changed substantially. Your questiin is not dependent on time, for egs a man earning earning 60k , unmarried ,with no travel history was denied in 2013. If he Reapplys in 2016 with no change in his profile, he'll most prollt be denied again.
So ask yourself, is there any substantial change in your personal circumstance since Dec 2015 and decide By yourself if to reapply.

gaebliss:

So if things have change, can I reapply now. Or till after a particular period of time.
