waleedb: [b]Greetings to tzetzefly and all other contributors to this great thread.
I intend to visit the US in Jan 2015 for a deserved vacation. I'm a Custom Clothier. I have been in business since 2006. I have been in this particular business since 2009. I'm in my late 20's single never married, no baby Momma so obviously no kid. I run a personal and corporate account. I have receipts for levies i have paid to various government agencies since i started operation i.e. trade payment, local govt levy, signage levy etc. I tend to use my personal account more often. I have a 3 landed property but only one of them has a C of O. I run 2 shops. My monthly turn over combined is between 600-900k. I have 10 workers in all. I have some other incomes from my other business that usually comes in lump sum every once in a while. I have only traveled to Ghana for a day and Cotonou for also a day but I may be visiting Dubai later this year. I don't have much of travel experience or free time due to the nature of my business I have to work all year round . All my staffs go on 2 weeks break every first 2 weeks of the year so I intend to join them this time around. I will like to Visit NY, Hawaii and Washington during our next break which is Jan 2015. I intend to sponsor myself. Please what are my chances of getting a VISA ? Should I apply as a tourist or have a family or friend invite me? I personally will prefer to apply as a tourist. Kindly advise me also on when to apply and what I need to do before then . I like to plan ahead. Thanks for your much anticipated response.[/b]

expertman: . Thanks so much so the only forms to fill is the DS160? Because that's the only form they mention there b4 interview booking.

superfavour: tzetzefly,concerning 'jefferylanj' case about not presenting the Dubai stamps on the passport as claimed, heard its a possible life ban, tzetzefly pls you can enlighten us about it.

NADAL5: Hello tzetzefly. Pls for someone that's going for a visit @ th US do I need to undergo anytin like medical test before my interview date, if Yes, pls how do I go about it and am having my visa interview around October??.......

needforspeed: Good day tzetzefly my fellow NAIRALANDERS..My b1 visa interview is coming up in couple of weeks and am wondering if you guys could help me out with likely questions to be asked..am going for an agricultural training/conference...re they any specific documents that would be needed in that respect? what dress mode would be appropriate ?... Please help me out

tzetzefly:

Heard from where?

tzetzefly:
Pick a particular destination point say New York. Get a few facts about the major tourist attraction there.
Have the necessary information about your business at hand and the number of staff under your employ.
Why you're leaving that business at that time for vacation must be clearly determined.
Go through whatever criteria that you feel is best for you either through hotel reservation in New York or letter from a relative in the States (you must be ready to prove that you know him/her very well).

lafad11: Thanks to all the gurus in the house you guys are doing a Great job. God will continually bless u all.
I intend visiting the US with my wife and kid. We all have travel experience. I have been to UK more than 5 times. My wife twice and my daughter 1ce. My uncle is willing to give us an invitation letter, photocopy of data page of his American passport, certificate of naturalization . i think i have the necessary document. My question is do I need an hotel reservation along side my document.
Thanks

waleedb:

Thanks for your contribution. When is the best time to apply considering i want to travel in Jan 2015.

superfavour:

Just people suggestions and saying its misrepresentation ..tzetzefly does it mean that has minimal effect or it could be overlooked when presented with the dubia slips or....My curiosity: I want learn .
Thanks

tzetzefly:

That is not a major factor to affect future applications.

Do as you're told in the last post.

needforspeed: @tzetzefly...sorry forgot to tell you i have a company of my own which was setup up lat year......will this count?

charzyh2:

haha... A word is enough for the wise. I can't try that.

saheedlawal30:

My guy, I won't lie for u those guru in the house they're like an "expo" of getting visa gba o. I read through all the post and I was issued 2yrs visa in the month of June still in naija though. So whatever they say.....na confirm. Stay blessed!

meggy11:


If u will be living with ur uncle u don't need to. U tell the vo when u re asked asked (which u will probably fill in ur DS160 anyways.) if u will be living in a hotel then u may need a hotel reservation. Pls anything u fill in ur DS160 is what u will say through out the interview process. Try to be honest too.


Goodluck.

needforspeed: @ tzetzefly..have been in the business for years...only had made a formal registration of it last yr..yes was included in my form..i ve lots of employees working for me and a cable supervisor

Ehido: Hello Guys,

I need to replace the information on the hotel I will be staying, I cant get an email confirmation of the one I filled in but have a booking reference number, I feel this is not enough information to prove to the VO that I have a place to stay, hence I want to book in another hotel and get an emailed confirmation of my booking and then update the information in my application with the new hotel address. How do I go about sorting this issue out without rendering my application invalid and changing my appointment date which is for ending of Aug.

Thanks
