Do you think that every student studying abroad can afford to travel? Student visa does not really give you a tie to that country especially when you are studying in Europe or Asia and want to visit US.

I think a student visa should be a tie now, because for example a student from Nigeria who studies in the Uk and wants to visit the us isn't such a bad idea, why does that student have to come all the way from the uk to Naija to apply is what I don't get, I know of some people that it has worked for and they got visa while studying and I know of some that it hasn't worked for, why is it so dicey?

Not everyone holding student visa is a genuine student. If you are a student surviving on maintenance money do you think that it makes any sense to issue a visa to visit US? Student visa is not a tie to that country because it carries expiring date. And in the case of deportation you will not be deported to the UK but to Nigeria.

Dont be sad...denial is not death sentence,anytime you wish you can reapply and that day may be your lucky day with a good visa officer..there was nothing wrong with all you answered ...cos i dont want to hear someone say its because you are not married and because you have people over there...they have given to single with less than your salary...cheer up..after all na your money you wan still go spend.

well, you have a valid point there, but why is the denial not usual uniform because despite all these some people are still granted the visa, I just feel the decision of the mind plays a large role in granting visas instead of the so called ties they are always emphasizing
Re: Usa Visit Visa by Nobody: 1:18pm On Jun 17, 2015
baldman the reason for denial is simply that your both parents and sister and family are in America, so if you go she thinks you will not come back, if you were married with a family already she might have let you through but you can try again if you want to and let your case be reviewed by another.

Baldman, your matter is str8forward
1. You are unmarried- No tie
2. Your pale de NY-Serious tie to US
3. Your Momsi kuky de NY- another serious tie to the US
Speaking as the VO now 'abeg wetin go motivate this young hustler to leave the land of the free and the home of the brave when Naija no even get Nepa to work 24 hours and DSTV de increase per month?'
Tips: demostrate u are reliable by visiting better countries and if your bae agree, put a ring on it grin then reapply.

Like you mentioned above, I also think VOs deny visas based on their mood. The day I went, there were 3 cubicles 7,8 & 9. Cubicle 7 had one lady with a very straight face, in my presence she denied virtually everyone she interviewed.
My people, I had to resort to praying for favour and not to be interviewed by her. Just 3 more people before me, the lady left her cubicle and didn't return till I had been interviewed and gotten my visa.

Let's all do our best, be honest in all our responses and pray for favour. My passport was virgin, I have never even crossed cotonou let alone Ghana as I have never tried this whole traveling out thing. This was my first ever visa application and fiam! 2yrs.

@gentleiphy, please try again, am sure u will get it. Pray for favour and go relaxed.

Lack of information, with your parents in the US you don't need a visitor visa, either of them can file for you and by your next vacation you should be ready to go, except if your parents are not in 'status'.

@ Baldman, sorry for the denial. But since your folks lives in the U.S, Do u have a pending immigrant application? I.e, did your parents file for you, cos I heard they hardly give applicants with pending immigrant cases, cos they assume u might not come back.
I have a pending immigrant case. I applied for visiting visa in 2012 but was denied. Since then I didn't even bother myself, when I heard it's difficult for applicants with pending immigrant cases to get a B1/B2 Visa.

Dear Chuks, you are not alone in this. The US Consulate is having issues with their computers worldwide. So they are having delays printing visas and all... They issued a statement on this earlier.
So chill, they will let you know when it's ready. Mine is still at the Embassy for a week now, so worry not!

Hello Spykid014 thanks for the information. I will wait patiently... Any new info please update me... I appreciate your help.

Please someone should help me. I scheduled my VISA INTERVIEW APPOINTMENT with my old DS-160 confirmation number, instead of retrieve, fill the new application and get new number...... Now I just retrieved from old and complete my DS-160. They gave me another DS-160 confirmation number which is different from the one I used to schedule visa appointment..

I tried to edit my profile on appointment page with new DS-160 confirmation number BUT the page was not going.... Please my interview is next week, can I go with the old confirmation page number or new confirmation page number

PLEASE THIS IS URGENT... PLEASE HELP ME

Thanks everyone for your kind words... I am not interested in overstaying in the US, I am doing alright here by the grace of God. @ Anfanio. I think you are the one that may be lacking information here, although my parents are in status... its definitely going to take way more than five years if I request that they file for me. I am over 21 and definitely not going to remain single while the waiting last so that I will be given a VISA to the U.S. I will appreciate a reliable reference if you are still convinced you know more than I do. Thanks for your kind words again.

Here are the facts from your posts:
You are over 21
You are single
Your parents live in US
Your parents are in status
You have been denied visa once
Your sister lives in the US
You earn 220k a month (the VO thought a year) anytime you are asked how much you earn; give per annum figure interviewer will ask for clarification if necessary.
Everything you said during interview proved ties to US instead of Nigeria

Your assumption of filing process taking more than 5 years is wrong and you can definitely get married. Now if you don't mind answering some personal questions in a public forum, I'll tell you what to do.
Good luck

Sorry gentleiphy,luck was not jxt on ur side...I read ur script line by line and I was able to pick out why the crazy vo denied you despite your strong ties,financial and travel histories. Here we go: U got it write from the start not until when it got to married for 6yrs plus with no kid!.He/She believes that,as at that time of your travel histories,things was going on fine between you and your wife,now that you guyz have been married for 6yrs with no child!,problems might have transpired between you and your wife at the moment and here you are trav elling. Strong indication is there for you to press p if u get along with a lady and mistakenly or deliberately impregnate her. These are just my own observations base on your script,I stand to be corrected.We are all here to share views. Goodluck to u on ur nxt application.

O boy... this your observation get as e be.

To say your visa application will be approved would be merely stating the obvious. Take your time, reapply, and you'll get it, k?
