Wow... 203k... That's interesting.

Husband and I got BA to Philadelphia for about 290k each...flights are quite expensive.

Urgent please. If we're going as a family, how do we ensure we go together to meet the same Vo. We already booked a group appointment and said we are going as a group in the ds160 form.

Alubosa:
House please, does anyone have an idea on how safe Denver (Colorado) is for blacks. I know blacks mostly stay in FL, TX, NYC, NJ, GA, LA and DC

... There are black Americans, immigrants, and tourists in all 50 US states. There are no states that are inherently more unsafe for certain races or ethnic groups, but you should be mindful of your surroundings and environment wherever you go. That being said, Denver is a fairly safe city. Like anywhere else in the world there are dangerous parts of the city, but on average it has a lower crime rate.

Thanks @LagosNIV. I'll be there for about 4-5months with my family. A friend in Atlanta told me its predominantly a no-go-area for colored skin folks.One can't be too careful. Thanks

Denver is very safe....I've been in Colorado several times and there is an active Nigerian community in Aurora.

Please pay no attention to your friend. Colorado is one of the most liberal states to visit.

While you're there try to visit the Red Rocks Amphitheater and the Broncos stadium. Also, look out for the cash register building in the skyline...you can't miss it.

That's cool...I have a friend that owns a condo in Parker...not bad...

Look out for 16th Street mall...it's a fun place to shop in the centre of Denver but be careful on Colfax...that's all I'm saying.

LadyGuinivere:

Read 20-30 pages back. You'l see several answers to your question.
Goodluck

Good day House,

Please I need an input from the house guru. These are my questions and situation.

I am a 27years single lady working with a bank. I applied for US visa in june this year and I was refused. I wanted to go for vacation and I have being working with my present employer for the past 4years and my annual take home pay is 2.5million. Though on my application form I filled 129000 which is what is paid to me on a monthly basis while I received the balance on yearly and quarterly basis.
At my interview the Vo asked me the following question

Vo: what do you do
Me. I work with bank xyz
Vo: what is your job about
Me: I do..........
Vo: how much is your monthly income
Me: 129000 but I received.......on a quarterly basis.(i didn't mention that I receive yearly allowance)
Vo: Are you married
Me: No
Vo: Where are you going in US
Me: To New York
Vo: Do you know anyone dear
Me: I said No
Vo: Have you travel out of Nigeria before
Me: No, Never had the opportunity.
Vo: where do you live
Me: surulere, Lagos
Vo: with who
Me: my brother

Then he next thing he said sorry I can not issue you the Visa.

Please I want to know where I have not responded well and also if there is anything I could have said because I wish to reply later in December as I want to travel with my colleagues in the office as they are planning group tour for next year February and also I just came back from UK this month.

I will appreciate your kind response.

@Jennytell the issues Allen highlighted are true.they interpret such as no home ties.
You have gotten a tad bit of travel history. U could try again...

Must one be married to get visa?

LadyGuinivere:

Ok thank you but don't the VO knows that getting married now is as hard as eaten stone . In fact getting husband is harder than lagos traffic these days.lol

On a more serious note does living with my brother that bad because I felt if I am to be living is alone will be seeing as not have a social tie to my home country?

sexydivaomalich:
..

congrats! Mine was for 7:30 appt, those male Visa Officers seem calm and have good communication. I couldn't laugh seeing one female VO denying a group of applicants and laughing with them. (my mind was like see dis oyibo oo, u no gree give visa, yet u no discharge dem immediately, lol. Serious drama in dat room on monday.

Anyways IMO, living alone shows u r self sufficienf and independent.
And single babes get visa all the time

The white paper is what you use to collect your visa... On the day you were told to go there, at the location you were told to go to.

Good day everyone, its being so nice going through this as i plan on applying for US tourist/visiting visa soon.
i am presently studying in europe(masters) but i intend applying for my visa in Nigeria..... already scheduled an appointment.
the person inviting would also be the one to fund the traveling expenses.
please everyone what are the other supporting document required of me to take along with me and what are the likely question to be expecting
please kindly assist with you positive responses.
thank you
