Visiting usa has always been a childhood fantasy, I just got married last year and with a baby girl this year.
I applied for a b1/b2 last December to see what xmas and new year looks like in the usa. I have worked in an oil and gas company for like 5 years as a sales assistance and with the plans of floating my firm come january. Now my firm is up and running by me and my wife. With my experience I was able to gather lots of clients to my company and it is doing very well.

I was denied visa December 22, and I didn't know why, but after much thoughts I felt it was because my salary was small as I placed my exact salary which was N175,000 per month as they asked me of my salary and when they asked if I was married I answered yes. He further asked why i am not travelling with my wife and told him I didn't plan or bugdet on that now but plans on travelling with her next 2017 summer. Truth was that she was 6 months pregnant then and we were both planning on floating our own firm as we both work in same oil and gas firm. I felt that my salary and the job did not give me a strong tie to my country as I might get a better job over there and refuse coming back.

But now my LGA is doing a convention in newyork come july 2 and I was privileged to be one of the invitees.

Would my record still affect my chances of getting a visa.
Right now our finances have improved immensely as quadrupled.

please fellow nairalanders, Does this give me stronger link to my country than when i was working?

Please i needed to know if I can reject the invitation or not so as to avoid another rejection, as I am to travel before December to uk to create more business opportunities for my firm.

Your suggestions or thoughts is highly needed
