Please let us know your excerpts so that we can discover what went wrong, anyway I heard most of the COs are high school leavers and are inexperienced

iluvweed: Pls Good people of NL....Is it true that when coming back from USA by direct flight, its between 12hrs-17hrs direct flight depending on the airline?
Do they take longer route back because when going its shorter distance.....Pls I need clarifications because I doubt if everyone coming from the USA sits on a single plane for 12hrs!!!........Chai..I don die oooh!

VBNET: VBNET: Hi Nairalanders,

Pls I need a clarification on this:

My relative who happens to be an American citizen sent my grandma a letter to visit him. My grandma is old(around 68 years) and he has instructed me to accompany her to the states. I am married and also working and we've booked our interview date.
My question is this...
When I was filling the DS160 form, there was a place I was asked who will be funding my own trip and I put my relative's name there since he sent the invitation letter. Can one be denied a visa because of this? Or will it be proper if I fill it that I will sponsor my own trip and my grandma will be sponsored by my relative.
Thanks in advance for your prompt suggestions.

ozycy: i attended my interview yesterday, many pple dt were interviewed before me were for conference. Some were given while some were not, even a company dat had 5 representatives going for one conference, dey were interviewd one after d oda, 3 pple were given while 2 denied. It depends on ur circumstances, how beneficial d conference will be to u or ur company. Dey didn't ask dem for much docs except d conference papers I think. D company was sponsoring dem

Sacluxpaint: VO,

I have edited my submitted ds-160, I have done that already but was told 2 bring the 2 new confirmation numbers , so I am asking will the CO look into the 1st submitted form?Please reply

NB: My cousin has sent me his IV using the previous confirmation number, will this contradict my interview?

adigunomomama: pls for someone going for a conference, is it B1-B2 or jus B1 visa application he/She will fill. pls help

choco2014: hi
i jst want to ask about bank statement.. each member of group hv to show his r her statement individually or a statement of parents is enough to show which is enough strong to cover the expense of all children in USA.
also tell me the form name which we have to fill online for visa.
thanks

soladnet14:

Thanks oga mi
Sir, I'll also need a vivid description on how to get to US Embassy, Abuja from Lagos, and if possible list of cheap hotel(s) close to the Embassy.

tzetzefly:

This situation about lack of clarity on sponsorship alone, is sufficient enough for refusal.

An adult is expected to be able to sponsor him/herself on a trip such as this. Your grandma being sponsored by the relative is acceptable. But for you, it is a different ball game (you must be able to cater for your expenses).

VBNET:

Thanks a lot tzetzefly for answering my question. The issue here is that my cousin(the invitee) is in the US military and he has accepted that he will take charge of all expenses so long as I'm willing to accompany our grandma. I want it to be that I am saying the truth during the interview. Though, I am capable to take charge of my own travelling expenses, but I see this as an opportunity for me not to spend my own money...Pls, what do you think about this.
Thanks in advance for your prompt response.

mrbamo: Ok, I got your reply from the post. What do you think about using the documents below to show social ties:

1, Letter from my school showing that my program ends next year.
2, letter from sponsor with copy of certificate of incorporation
3, my bank statement for my savings acct in nigeria and that of china.
4, statement of purpose from me.

Another worry is that the second person whom we are applying together does not have travelling experience, he has been in china for about 1 year and that is all. Do you think this may affect my application?

Hope to read from you soon.

Mr B

Sacluxpaint: What can one use to show evidence of strong ties as the US interview is only a few minutes. My interview is coming up on the 7th of August and I am 28 years old unemployed. My dad and my 1st cousin that is a US citizen is sponsoring the trip. I recently just concluded my NYSC after studying in the UK?

NB: My cousin is getting married on the 9th of August and we have received the IVs.

What are my chances?

Temmysteel:


All u jst need is to mail the authentic DS160 to the help desk using the profile you created with your Log on details,The help desk will update it automatically for u,but pls remember to go along with the new DS 160 when u re going to the embassy

Sacluxpaint: @tzetzefly answer my post abeg

tzetzefly:

NB: My dad frequently visits ,but my cousin is a bluepassport holder. I have thought about my following ties, my landed property in ikorodu and some in my villa, my shares in the stockmarket, using my dad's company as a front.Will this pass? I just hope they will look at these in a few minutes.

You dont for now have any form of tie to Nigeria and you're at a suspiciously ripe age for a permanent stay in the States.

You can try if you believe in ''luck''.

tzetzefly:

Your cousin in the U.S. military cannot spend money on his grandma and spend on you as well.

You're a working adult and so should be able to sponsor your own trip.

Avoid complications for yourself and pay your expenses from your pocket.
