Hi all, a friend of mine wants to accompany her husband(newly wedded) to the US as the husband was invited as a visiting scholar for a year. What do you think are her chances as she does not work(stopped working after marriage). Is there a likelihood of her being denied a visa and if yes for what reasons.

DeeTus:
The first question the VO will ask is; why does she want to accompany her husband?

This is a one million dollar question. If she could answer this correctly, then she stands a chance.

and what is the cost of the application
NB that i tried using the link on the 1st thread and it keeps bringing error messages,thanks in anticipation.

LadyGuinivere:

Why does a wife want to accompany her husband for a year?!!!!!! Ha! Please my brother which kain kweshun be that?
No VO will ask that. Even prisoners are allowed conjugal visits. That's also the reason why F1 visa has an F2 dependent on it.
Even if it's a one week visit, a wife can decide to follow her husband.
The basic issue is still ties. Do BOTH of them have ties. Shikena.


Please I don't understand the ties part, could you explain. Thanks

She’s a stay at home mom so shouldn’t this be relatively easy? I can’t see a reason to deny her. But you never know.

"The first question the VO [b][/b]WILL ASK IS" please let's not speak with authority or certainty in areas where we don't function.

bluetopaz:


She said she intends to take up a masters program at the same school during the period to keep busy. Is it a bad thing to reveal if asked by the VO?

Like a roaring, seeking whom to devour, they are here, watch out peeps with one eye closed and the other open oh! I have said my bit....

DeeTus:
Tell her to PM me.

Sparkzl:


Sorry your sister was denied. Sometimes favour works and i believe so much in asking God for favour

But to be candid. Your sister only said she is an accountant. I believe one thing when the vo ask you what you do. This is your chance take control of it. Give full detail convine him or her your job is a good one then he or she would ask how much to you earn.
Before he or she sked explain the purpose of your trip.

Have you travelled before
Reponse; yes to..... For......

Take charge of the session. For instance if i were a lecturer. I would simple say when he ask what i do for a living
I am a lecturer at so and ao university. Department of so n so. And i teach so and so handling master students project......
Just giving a shabby answer or one word answer is not good enough.

All the same i only made my opinion and these are not fact

LadyGuinivere:

Babe. Was busy so I didn't reply earlier.
Theres one other lady that had EXACTLY the same situation as you a while ago. I believe she got the visa. When I saw your post, I was wondering why she posted again.
Sadly I can't Remember her moniker. Do try using Google and some key words to see if you can find her posts
Seye I believe you were active then. Can you remember?
Be that as it may. A job isn't the only tie needed for a visa. Housewives still get visas. Evaluate yourself objectively. Your husband ,what does he do? Are u guys relatively ok? If yes. Apply and be honest. Though personally I would prefer if u have prior travel history. That's me o!

Edit: I see u have uk travel history. Please apply. If you want to o!!!!
Thanks my people that greeted me. May God remember you o

OmoBendel24:


Are you female? But you couldn't have seen that OCCUPATION section if you were female though! You may have to do some clarification as things stand now. The form is gender specific and no room for travel history for females....

TWoods:


As long as they can satisfy the VO that they intend to return after the 1 year is up. Also what would their finances look like since neither of them can work? She will also need a separate F1 visa to do a masters.

oludharey:
Pls do I need to book a flight reservation before applying for the visa,I friend of mine to me its important. Pls guys help out.

Good evening house.am of the silent readers.plz I need ur advice,am planning to go USA on visitation base conference. the conference is hold at the end of November bt I ll getting my visitation letter next week can I go ahead filling d form or should I wait till I get d visitation letter bt fear is nt able get appointment for d interview at embassy b4 d conference.

bigbus:


I suggest you start filling the form. If you have all the data you need, you can complete the form. If you need some data on the conference, you can either wait for your "visitation letter" or ask the conference organizers directly.

asid:


Just know what visa category you intend, walk into any GTB branch and tell a staff you intend making a US visa payment (they would have the prices printed out)

pagekollection2:


Thank u very much.another thing when is the right time to make the payments for the appointment is it after filling d form or b4.

Hello Gurus in the house,

Please i wish to embark on a 7days family vacation come mid December with wife and 3kids. Hence, what visa class do i go for? what are the suggestive documents in order to stand some chances of being granted the U.S visitors visa as i have no relatives over there? Possibly how long does it take to sit for the interview?

So sorry if my questions are enormous as i'm novice of the pre-requisites and protocols envolved.

Please help me out soonest.

God bless!

Hello the gurus,
Filling the DS-160.. Please what's my passport type? On my passport I'm seeing 'P' but in the form the options there are: Regular, Official, Diplomatic and other.
Then I selected Regular. Hope I'm correct?

I need your guidance!
