V.O- What are you travelling for?
Hubby- To follow up with our case ..we have an open case in the US and the attorney past away last year so we need to go get a new one...hubby wanted giving details so she stopped him and contined typing

She turned to me and asked what i did in the Caribbean..told her med school

She goes on to look through all the stamps in my passports old visas etc and used a scanner on them all

Asked of side businesses what they were
How many cars in total has husband imported so far
Hubby: So far about 50 from US and Germany


She said which other countries we said just the 2. US and Caribbean
Next she asked my salary
She scanned tru all hubbys old visas and asked to mention the yrs he visited the US
He missed one i reminded him so he corrected it

Good day e-family.

I need your thoughts on my first attempt to travel to the US.

A brief history of me and past travels:
- Married (7 yrs)
- 3 kids
- travelled to the UK with family twice now(last being 2015)
- Accountant for 9 yrs.
-Wife has worked 8 yrs cumulatively. Changed to a new job in Sept 2017...so she's just less than a year in the new office.

My enquiries:

1. Wife's passport is in her maiden surname (though we ve done the change of name last year with the affidavit and newspaper publication) Can it be an issue?- Though all our UK visas were applied with her passport in her maiden name- UK doesn't have qualms with it.

2. I am likely to be sponsored for a foreign training to Virginia come June, 2018 so I intend to apply now for a visa for myself and family(as I have the funds to do so now before the kudi filters away grin) quoting Virginia as our destination. My family may not go with me in June but we'll all travel later in August during my 2018 leave. Will it be an issue for me that im not travelling with my fam in this first instance when going in June being a 1st time US visitor?

3. I read that US embassy stamps 2 years in the 1st instance- My wife's passport expires in August 2019...less than 2 years validity? Will this issue deny her from being stamped 2 year visa in a passport that is about 1 year plus validity period?

Thank you.

CC. LadyG and others, thanks in advance.

Good afternoon ,my people in the House. I applied for USA b1/b2 visa in 2014(with my old passport, that has UAE travel history on it ) but couldn't go for the interview due to sickness . I'm applying very soon with my new passport. My questions are...
1 won't the interview that I missed affect my application?
2 also won't change in marital status, affect my application?. GURU'S in the house, anticipating for your swift response

@Teecan
1. #maidenname. No issues
2. Maybe. Maybe not. Every question that has a reasonable answer leads to no issues
3. When passport expired, renew and travel with the new and expired passport wherein the visa is stamped. US issues 2 year visas to Nigerians.
For indept answers, I suggest you invest some time reading through the thread

It might since u didn't cancel it and your file was created! Do u know they view ds-160 before interview?
Since u will tell VO about having a travel history, go along with the former(hope it's genuine).
Why Change in marital status? Did u divorce ur wife or agent level?

hello house..
in 2011 myself and my brothers went to apply for a visiting visa, but before then my mum had been going regulaly, so she took to us to apply but when we got to the embassy i was told i couldnt do the interview with them cus i just clocked 18, so i had to do the interview alone and i was denied but my brothers were granted a visa that same day cus they were with my mum. so i applied again when i was 21 and i was denied again. but my fam have been travling to the u.s for years nw without me. but i am planning on applying next month for a visit visa. right now i am 25yrs old with a good job. been working in my company for 2years now but single with no kids. and i earn pretty much good from my working place. now my question is what are my chances of getting a visa? NOTE: i already have travel history been to the uk twice, dubia, malaysia and southafrica. i just really want to be sure of my chances again before applying? does my age affect me from reapplying?

You really need to work on presentation of your application... Make the V.O look at your strong ties while emphasizing your independence.

Age matter too. Once u are 18 u should have something doing, once u are 30 u should have nuclear fam! *what I read ni.
Your previous application always play a role on your new! If your previous purpose was to go visit a family member, it will always be in your file that u have a family in US under family ties. Highlight your duties and points down before interview so u don't miss any and talk in full. A good job without full details of it to VO seem amateur under Professional.
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 3 by Cutieoo9: 12:15am On Mar 03, 2018
yes at age 18 i was already a university student till age 22 when i graduted. and now i am working. and yes of course i will definately give full details abt my job and what i do. i just briefed the whole question on here. i only wanted to know if my age wont affect me frm getting a visa.

Travel history (have you used your visas rightly without violating their terms?), good pay (what do you earn if one may ask?) and smart/collected delivery during interview (string it all together well in words) could be some grace for you.
