Your travel history didnt help

Tanzania is bad luck and unfortunately for him having the visa does not mean he has been to those places and it's hard to confirm the authenticity of the visa through photocopy... To be honest the way I see it is that they believe you manufacture your travel history by claiming lost passport.

Hello All,

VO: Good morning

Hubby: Good morning smiles (VO not looking just typing)

VO: passport

Hubby: passed it through the counter vo did not touch or open it.

No travel history is better than all dis African country, if u are earning big, should it be just an African countries dat will be your travel history? For 10/9years That on travel

The concrete one is u might be needing medical in U.S/u might decide to start up family in U.S.

I also went with used flight ticket papers...let me get your point clearly sir

Was in Kenya two years ago though, just wondering if they stick visas on passport sha, mine was obtained online (I flew Kenya Airways) and printed out.

I however seem not to be seeing anything wrong with the transcript aside maybe travel history , maybe the issue is out of this transcript. Or he probably has doubts about your marriage or something, dunno....

mitchellia:
Pls house, just stumbled on this wonderful & educated link. Pls how do one fill another ds-160. We would want to fill it personally.we have ignorantly contracted someone to handle it for us (my husband, 3 kids & mysef). he is yet to submit the forms. He had picked interview date. He refused to give us answers to the security questions. Is it possible to still link the newly filled ds-160 to the earlier chosen interview appointment date. Tnx

Pls help

I got Kenya visa on arrival and that's on my previous passport which i also presented today and the VO confirmed it. I think I'm just not lucky cos the visa thing seems like a gamble...anybody wins

If that's the case... Since you've made travel plans why not change it and visit Europe with your family because with your profile and ties you should be able to get a schengen visa and enjoy your holiday and probably reapply for U.S visa early next year.

Pls help

Do you have login details to your profile on the CGI portal, I mean the e-mail used and password? That's the most important thing to have to take control of your situation yourself. What you asked is tenable, can be done....

On your passport? VISA or ENTRY AND EXIT stamps?

Well, heed Seyewest's advise. See other more weighty countries, especially with you family, use the opportunity to solidify evidence of FAMILY and travel history too.

I would go with the no travel experience as the african countries visited was even on the job travel experience.
We don't earn big as mentioned, my statement was we can afford our trip finacially. Also am not a fan of i need to see the world..... infact more of a workaholic.

So we planned to go on vacation to explore other stressfree opportunities outside Nigeria, hence we applied for this trip.

Are you saying if i had applied for medical visit it would have been considered?..

not a VO tho. Ur purpose to doz country should have been started for the fact that there are fake of it. If U.S doesn't work enjoy ur vacation elsewhere but not Dubai

Sweet sweet mrskemo
Don't cry love. It's aii.
I believe it's the travel history coupled with the fact that the only ties your have is your jobs.
My take? Do UK. Both of y'all. Or any other " better" country. When you want to reapply, dm me. I dont usually reply, so u gotta remind me please. Hugs sister girl

Hello all, I've been a silent reader on here, i went for an interview today. Below is the transcript

VO: Good morning

Me: Good morning sir

Vo: What's happening there?

Me: I'm going on vacation and tourism

Vo: You are staying where?

Me: I've booked a hotel for 10 days at xxxii hotel No 46 xxxyz street Brooklyn, NY

Vo: What do you do?

Me: I'm a businessman and CEO of xxxyz
I'm into Xxxyz business and i buy xxxx from different states in Nigeria and have them shipped to China and Vietnam

Vo: Unfortunately your visa is not approved at this time you can reapply later.

Me: Thanks and left

Note: I didn't flinch...All i could see were blue papers flying around

I'm giving it a break as I'm a bit confused rn

the Brooklyn and tourism u mentioned rang bell for the VO hear.
If u are going for tourism consider the hotel distance to tourist centres

That's a good idea. Thanks

From this discussion all you could take out is that I'm encouraging him to lie or use fraudulent means to get a visa?
it's okay continue.
Thank God the person in question agreed with my opinion to take his family elsewhere.

I got Kenya visa (single entry sticker) okay, I will travel else where in a timely manner as business comes first

Yes, do that first thing first and control your application yourself, provided the email address used is also under your control. Fill another DS160 for all affected, call the customer care unit of the embassy to update the DS160 number of all the affected, then print another appointment letter carrying the new DS160 form number when you are done. Simple!

opethom:
pls the name of the hotel and the distance to embassy pls and the amount per night

Cumberland Hotel ,It is close to The Place restaurant.

I paid 17K for a night and that's the cheapest but its cool though.

Distance is just about 5 to 10min max drive .

True, but not hard and fast. Just like Central London hotels works better for a UK tourist visit. But then, I have seen someone using an hotel at The Bronx to get a visa that most of his planned places to see were around Manhattan, meanwhile Brooklyn (which of course is a stone throw from major attractions) is closer to those attractions than The Bronx. So?

Good day ma. My niece and my grandma are planing to travel soon . please ma, can they book appointment together or how can they go about it ? Because she is going because of grandma
Your advice ma

However, take note that some agents can be really desperate, callous and close to demonic if not demonic sha! Hopefully this one isn't one, I have heard stuff, I mean stuff! Good luck....
