The age gap may cause a lot of problem for you and her, it will be seen as marriage for visa.

Then that has nothing to do with it, it could have but there's definitely more serious thing that resulted to the refusal.
Maybe, you were not well prepared or your presentation was poor. They are not spirits, they only act based on the information available to them, sometimes one's personality does it for him/her, hence some are not asked for any document at all.

meine: I had my interview at the USA embassy recently and it was approved. I have been denied the student Visa thrice 9 years ago. I Dont believe people should be desperate to travel however, i will give some tips on how to make your Visa Application fool proof. My interview is one of the liveliest anyone can imagine. I was given 2 years multiple and the VO did not check one single document to verify my claims. Here are few tips:

1. If you dont have a strong link to Nigeria,i wont advise you to apply yet wait for the right time. Links include a good job, being part of the exco of a reputable social or professional association like JCI,ICAN,NBA, family links etc.
2. Travelling to UK is not enough, the Americans know that getting a UK visa is easy. Visit at least one other reputable country e.g. Germany,France, Canada etc. before applying to US. They want to be sure you are a traveler with history.
3. Be very free and confident, rehearse the common questions but let your intended reply sound different from other people. There is no 100% correct answer to any question just be yourself. If you get nervous along the way slow down and start again.(I stuttered when i started my interview but i calmed down later)
4. Dress the part. If you are a student you dont need to show up in blazers and ties. If you manage a company dress responsibly,Not T shirts and denims.
5. Tell some little lies if it is necessary. Little lies wont hurt you as far as your case is strong. Nobody can have a perfect application so be prepared to defend your weak points if the VO should raise them. For example i was denied the US visa 3 times 9 years ago but on my form i claimed that i have never been denied. Back then there were no finger prints so i can defend that record. Secondly, I am a single guy and the VO asked about my marital status,cos i filled single in the form. I told her i had my introduction last month and that my wedding comes up in march. she was happy and congratulated me, i smiled at her and i promised to send her some IV. the confidence was really high on my part. Here is the interview summary.

ME: Gud afternoon
VO: Gud afternoon, can i have your passport
VO: why do you wanna travel to the USA
ME: I got an invitation letter from the US commercial services dept to attend so and so exhibition in Las Vegas.
VO: OK, SO What do you do
ME: I manage so and so company,we currently have few projects in bla bla bla. Secondly in may this year,i was elected as the bla bla of so and so professional body. (NOTE: that my answers were specific,a man was asked the same question and he said he is "Self employed". that's a vague answer in my view)
VO: OK,what do u call the name of the association where you were recently elected president? I told her and corrected her that i was elected treasurer not president, she was impressed.
VO: What were you doing in Canada in so and so year?
ME: i attended a similar exhibition in Ontario for 4 days, i checked Quebec for 3 days and got back into the country (I got the hint on the number of days from this thread)
VO: What about France
ME: I spent my 5 days vacation in Paris in 2010
VO: What about Dubai
ME: I am currently running my Online MBA with so and so school and i often travel to Dubai for my lectures

At this point she smiled and said "You have many reasons to come back", to which i replied " Yes have got a lot on my plate". The pretty girl didn't check any document, i was almost toasting her sef. Any genuine business traveler with the strong proofs i listed above can contact the US commercial services dept in V.I to know the available exhibitions they can attend. The US commercial service will charge you $200 dollars to invite you for exhibitions directly or through their travel agents. I guess their invitations also gave me some respect with the VO. Above all trust God for favors. Best of luck.

Congrat

So it wont work you mean please advise thanks

The age gap may cause a lot of problem for you and her, it will be seen as marriage for visa.

sholastewart: NL Kindly respond is it helpful 4 me lie to d VO on number of countries have been inorder to enhance MY chance or will dey verify

If you lied about visiting a country, are you also going to fake the visa and immigration stamp of those countries? Well...you are walking towards a life ban by US embassy.

Improve your education and your travel history because you can see that VO asked that from you because you applied for student in feb and now conf. business i would have advise you go back with student than Conf.business and now you cannot go back to school visa agaain becos it will show desperation than to improve your education and travel history and go for conf. business. Good luck.

You presented your kinda business as anything goes, direction yet to be established and wouldn't mind staying back in the USA should anything better come your way.

in the issue of your DS160 paper, your information is already in their database and withholding the paper makes no difference for them.

@Fast Link, how do i present it then? Thank you.

shessyfavour: @Fast Link, how do i present it then? Thank you.

You've gone for the interview already, so you can't change much as per your business and what you make in a month.
As a business owner, the amount you make monthly can't be the same and I know there's possibility of making up to 1M or something close and even less than 300K, some people also add whatever profit they make to the business to expand it hence bank statement shouldn't be used to judge them.

Like I said, any alteration now may portray you in a bad way, however, you can still make amend but MUST be in line with your earlier submission.

@FastLink, I am not changing anything i am considering of reapplying immediately this time may be going to Lagos the conference will be held Feb 13 next year i believe i can still get a date in Jan or what do you think how do i present my case this time because i believe i had a good one yesterday and almost got it but didn't know the specific reason he denied me and i asked him if i can reapply and he said yes i can. What do you suggest? Thank you

yes, you can reapply at anything, it's sure to their own advantage as it means more money in their account.
Just take a clue from my yesterday's post/above post and that is all I can tell you for now.

@FAST-LINK is there any of my response to the VO's questions that needs to be polished and you mentioned i presented my business as anything goes how do you think i should present it please?. Thanks a lot

Pls I need someone to explain the likely questions they may ask for someone that is going for conference and u have not travel before. Pls am so afraid

. Hi, I won't advise you to re apply soon, I read thru your answers and they sounded vague. You already applied for a student visa recently,if you don't leave enough gap and you show up the third time they are going to likely deny you. My advise is that wait for your buz and travel history to considerably improve before reapplying. Also a conference on int'l buz is vague, a conference on a specific product or service of your company would have been better. Don't gift them more money,coming to lagos won't change anything. But if you are the spiritual type you can give it a try cos with God nothing is impossible.Merry Xmas.

Just be urself and be cool.

I think it is okay to apply from the U.K with your husband.

funmikosoko:
2)When's d best time 2start d application if we'll b travling around Oct?

You can apply anytime but preferably 2-3 month to your intended visit to the USA to allow preparation.

If you get your settlement visa, best to apply from the UK and if not yet, since you still have a valid 2years UK visa, then apply still with your husband, let him apply and you as his spouse.

@ shessyfavour,

I perceive you are already under "microscope"....lolz. You appeared as student and later same year for business conference. They have your information in the system. My advice is, do not say anything contrary to what you have said in both previous application. Also, you may prepare to answer kweshion(s) on your previous denial(s).
