Please is someone's fiancé her relative? I'm confused on the answer to give to the question of whether I have a relative in the US or not.
Can a fiancé be classified as a relative?

Know your aunt's status in the States.

Your economic situation counts toward a visa issuance hope yours is fine.

Family travel is good, once you're able to finance it.

Your purpose of visit to New York is relevant.

Have you travelled before as a couple?

Is your economic tie to Nigeria sudstantive enough to make you return?

Are you financially competent to sponsor your trip?

Where are you visiting in the States?

These are few questions to ask yourself.

Also guys am still awaiting your comments ohh.
I also want to guided on salary . i earn a specific amount as gross salary. when all of my loans are deducted, i earn a particular amount. i also receive allowances and payments for traveling expenses which are paid weekly, monthly(depending on how busy i travel within nigeria ) and quarterly allowances . How do i represent these as my earnings. Should i just reflect my net amount as salary earned or how do i incorporate the allowances earned as my earning in the Visa Application form. An explanation form an experienced person is urgently needed. abeg. Thanks

[quote author=KweenCee][/quote]

Yes ! , your fiance/ fiancee is considered an immediate relative by the US consular.

While filling your DS 160 , you would see a highlight beside that question. It clearly states that your immediate relatives aside your parents may include your fiancee/fiance , wife, child,sibling .
Hope I have been able to help , and hope it's not coming too late either.
If you have already submitted the form, u could quickly fill another DS 160 form as you would be deemed to have lied when a future immigrant visa is filed for you.

@Topchef
Thank u so much for that response. Even though i want to go for a training,i will rather not go so as to not to hamper my chances during my immigrant filling.Thanks so much.

Good morning guys, thanks for the good job you are doing. Please i need your advice for my upcoming interview, i made some errors in filling the DS 160 form for my wife and myself is there a way i can retrieve our forms after submitting? Do i need to book another appointment? Kindly advise.

Hello experts in the house. Please, as my visa interview draws nearer, i really need a quick clarification. My int. passports are now three, the initial one has all my visas (UK, 3 Schengen) and entry stamps while the next has about 3 UK visa refusal stamps on it which I believe have dented the passport. But my new passport which I'm using to apply has nothing on it. My question is: Should I remove the 2nd passport with refusal stamps since i don't need it or I should just combine all the passports and submit when requested for? And hope it wont av any adverse effect on the application. Your candid opinion asap will really be appreciated. Thanks for your usual cooperation.

Pls I have an interview coming up in approx. In 14days.. I am a lawyer with 2yrs PQE working in a family law firm with a broad spectrum legal practice for over 3 generations. I am unmarried, under 30 and with a virgin passport. purpose for visit is to attend my uncle and aunts graduation and thanks giving service in houston both went vide a DV lottery in 1994 and are a PRs now. I also intend attending a walk-in information and group session at the University of Houston Law Centre in preparedness for my LLM prog. Though I didn't state this in my application. I intend commencing my masters hopefull this time nxt yr. I am self sponsored with about 2mill in my current account.. In summary I intend to avail my self the opportunity of my 1 month annual leave to celebrate my birthday on the 29th with my uncle and his family whom I have not seen in almost 15years. I am abreast with all the legal documents required but I would like to know if the odds are against me as one without a previous travel history.

Thank you.

All your reasons for visit are valid.

But more valid if you included on your DS-160, a planned attendance and walk-in information and group session at the University of Houston Law Centre in preparation for your LLM programme.

You need to have solid ties to Nigeria as well.

Why were you refused UK visa when you claim to have been issued same UK visa previously?

There is what is regarded as administrative processing (AP) at the Dept of State, this is all encompassing and detailed investigation.

If you hide the second passport and you're unfortunate to get an AP, this will however pop up when an enquiry is sort at the UK Embassy.

The choice is yours.

I was at the embassy and I was denied visa under 214(B) act. How long do I need to wait to reapply?

tzetzefly:

I am presently working in South africa same as my wife and we have our kid here will that be enough ties ?

Phema:

Actually, yes. There is a policy stating that Corp members are not allowed to travel outside the country except there is a cogent reason. And a letter must be written to the embassy by NYSC stating this reason and permitting you to travel within a specific period of time.

Well I don't know about NYSC having such policies, all I know is that my kid brother who was serving last year, travelled to the uk with me last summer while still serving. The only letter he got was from d principal of the school where he was doing his primary assignment. Maybe US has their own laws on that. Or maybe my brother was just lucky.

UK isn't strict about the rule.

. Applying from SA will be your best bet sir

Pls share your interview sir/ma

x2lambo: I am presently working in South africa same as my wife and we have our kid here will that be enough ties ?

Yes, if you possess a valid work permit with an extensive stay in South Africa.
