Hi Everyone,

I need your opinion, especially visa gurus in the house. My parents were recently denied their visit visa to come for my graduation in the US.
To put it in context,
My dad has not traveled before; however, my mum has been to the US three times, but her visa expired in 2018, so she could not do Dropbox again. She has applied again twice (alone), and this recent denial with my dad is the third one.
She used 179 days during her second visit to the US, and I think that is why they kept denying her because they always asked what she was doing for that long all three times, she was denied.

I want to apply for them again next year and was wondering if there is anything I can do to improve their chances.

Hi, good day. Please why shouldn't one mention anything or anyone that has to be a US citizen? My dad's brother is a citizen and I'll be going for an exam in the US. I plan on staying with him for my short stay of less than one week in the US. I shouldn't mention this if I'm asked where I'll be staying?

I booked my appointment for US Visa Interview in February 2021 and my appointment date is 2 January 2024. Please do I need to pay another MRV fees of update my DS 160 form before the interview date??.


2021 to 2024?Haba, that's too far. There were dates for earlier dates ke? I don't think you need to pay another MRV fees.

Also, my surname used to book the appointment is missing one last Alphabet, Do I leave it or do an Affidat??

PeachtreeReside:


Mail them about the missing alphabet.

Not hard.

I applied for a visiting visa alongside my family in December 2022. Got appointment date for January 6, 2023. VISA APPROVED with no document requested. Grace followed me sha. I’m on a student visa in the Uk. Though I’ve finished studying but my BRP is still valid. For another 2months.

Go to the US site. Apply and include a genuine purpose for travelling. Get a date for appointment and get in touch. I might help

Enishit:


For others who might not understand this is how it looks like but the appointment confirmation page must be presented at the Dhl drop off center which is either Ikeja or Isolo . No other place is allowed in lagos

otedola1:

Those mad people then cancelled mine too, after waiting for long

PeachtreeReside:


You are right o.

Only one of my client had theirs cancelled.

What is the criteria used though 🤔?

pufframmy:
only God know o

NothingDoMe:
You should mention him. There's certain things that you cannot easily take back after it's done. One is hiding the fact that you have family in the US.

A relative skipped to mention that he had a brother with kids in the US in order not to "complicate" his application. Funny thing was that the interview centered around his relative he refused to mention 😄.

The V.O kept asking him if he wasn't going to see his nieces and nephews but he kept denying since he had decided to stick to his story. He said the V.O just shook her head and denied him.

Now he has to reapply and state that he has a sibling there and he is cracking his head as to how to explain why he omitted that in the first place.

Gather as much information from your relative before the interview. If you don't have all the answers about your relative you can simply say so.

Hello,

I apologise for quoting this post. I can't remember how to compose a fresh post.

My daughter and I applied for a visiting visa last year and our interview date is January 2024. The problem is, the passports we used to apply have expired and we have renewed but i dont know how to update the new passport details on the application.

I would appreciate of someone can help with this.

Thank you.
