I have been an ardent follower of this thread, and I really appreciate the work you guys are doing. I want to seek a travel advice and I hope some people will be able to advice me appropriately. Recently, I applied for a Canadian study permit ,I was rejected, so this time I don't want to encounter any rejection at another embassy.
By July I intend to travel to US for a Yoruba social cultural event with my dad who is a local government chairman in the capacity of a personal assistant. I have been his PA since Sept 2017, and my pay is little above 100k. Though,not one of the speaker, my dad plans to meet some of his local govt indigene at the sideline of the event.
My question is that hope it is not a red flag if I emphasis that he is my father cum boss.
Please, the above question may sound dumb but I just want to another avoidable rejection for now, I believe it's better for me not to apply now and be patient till when I can confidently say I'm eligible.
N.B :No travel history,married

Good day ladyG and the house

My brother who is a US citizen has invited I and my wife to the US and would take car of our travel expenses. Our take home salary monthly from our place of work here in naija is under a 100k each (I and my wife) it used to be above but was cut down dues to recession then and has not been increased ever since. We work in different establishment anyway.

My question is what are our chances of getting a visa and any other advice u would give in this

Hello Everyone. I want to first start by appreciating everyone who has sincerely contributed to this tread for I know the advice given here has gone as far as changing lives for the better.

I want to travel to the US and I need help!
I have never traveled outside the shores of the country so I don't have any experience whatsoever.
I'm a graduate (25yrs) with no paycheck but I'm into digital marketing.
I've got a lady friend in Kentucky who has offered to send an invite / convince an employer to send a letter of employment. The company is in Oklahoma but she doesn't live there so I'd have to sort my accommodation issue if I apply based on the employment proposal.

My questions are.....
Do I apply for an Immigrant visa or Non immigrant Visa?
Do I stand a chance considering my family would be sponsoring the trip?
In fact, I'm clueless as to going about the whole thing. People, I need you guys to help advice me on what type of visa best suit my situation.

All questions would be entertained, I'm looking forward.. Thanks Fam!

Well regarding your issue..its an immigrant visa u are to aplly for (employment visa) this is a non immigrant visa thred but I will give u a little clue..first,to get a registered company to send u an invite is not so easy..and finally when u get..and u try to process ur visa..it would be so hard to convince the v.o the position u r going to occupy cannot be occupied by a u.s citizen or a lpr ..they believe there are still employment individuals in u.s. only if u have extra ordinary talents or u have a very good qualification like u studied medicine.. Nursing ..and co . all the same I wish u best of luck.. Get ur priorities right. Try as much to get the employers letter and file for an employment visa.Good luck.. Success is urs

pappybarry:


To be honest, the employment I'm being offered doesn't need any professional expertise, so I guess it would be urealistic of me to follow through as you've brought that to my notice.
I'd be grateful if you could advise me on steps I have to take with the NIV since thats a more realistic option. I don't intend using an agent so I'll need all the information I could possibly get. Blessings..

Mayorr89:


Bruv..if it requires no professional expertise like u said..then its not guaranteed.. Employment can b gotten at a snap for those positions by citizens..

Besides what's ur aim of travelling to u.s remember NIV are for people who visit u.s for a particular reason and must come back as soon as they done with their motive not for people with ulterior motives.so do u just want to visit ur female Friend and come back or wat..

pappybarry:


I'll like to visit then. But is there a possibility I could extend my stay legally? Maybe by applying for a short term program or something

When she heard I was single as well my interview was over. Being single/married is a choice. I would never misrepresent that I am married just to get a visa
A young girl cried because she was denied.
Pastors in suits as well were denied.

Madamvisa kindly respect your self and your trade. Accredited agent's buy marketing space. You now want to come and ply your market free?

@congo s'il vous plait, do not quote these kind of posts.
Merci infiniment!

Hello house.... I really love this forum.... And am pleased to ask few questions.
I am currently residing and working in Dubai, last year i applied for my master program at Lincoln University in the united state, i came to Nigeria to apply for my student visa but unfortunately it was unsuccessful. I returned to Dubai last year few days after. By march, i will get engaged and do my wedding ceremony but one of my family in united state plan to invite me and my wife after our wedding ceremony.

Your immediate response will be appreciated.

pappybarry:

Oh really?? I'm not looking to act in any illegal way. I pride myself as being honest. I am only seeking the most probable means of getting a livelihood in the States and I want to know my options. I had to do a couple findings in the last hour and it seems this is possible under the law, but subject to some conditions.
I just need as much help as I can get from you guy because I think I can find useful advice that can better my chances of getting a visa application approved for the purpose I've stated earlier.

As much as I agreed with what you posted I'm not okay with the bolded... They don't have to lie to get the visa which I'm sure you did not lie to get the visa.

HOC189:
