israel007: Took me a long time to finally post this but glad i have the courage to do so now. here is my story:

back in 2006, a friend of mine, who was down with Cancer (white guy) invited me to visit in WV. i was naive and all. i filled the form with the help of one man and took the invitation letter to the embassy in Lagos. on getting there, i was standing before the VO and she asked my name, i told her, she looked at my form and incidentally, the space for occupation was no filled. i was a student. she asked me if i was a student i said yes and she asked why i didn't fill that info. i said sorry. at this point she was furiously typing in the system and when she was done, she stamped my passport and said sorry you don't qualify. passed me a document and said it would explain to me why i was denied. and that was it.

i have not applied since then. i got a visa to go to brunei back in 2010 but didn't go because my boss was out of work and i had to cover for him and my visa expired.

2011, i lost my passport, though i still have the soft copies (old passport and the E-passport)and my visa for Brunei.

Now i want to reapply but i can't remember what information the guy filled in the former form. i am thinking of sending a letter ahead to explain the situation to them before i reapply. don't know what to expect. i got a new passport in december, i work in oil and gas sector (work directly with Oando though i am not a direct employee of Oando). i head a dept and pay is good.

what do you think i should do please.

FYI: NO TRAVEL HISTORY, I HAVE A DAUGHTER, NOT MARRIED BECAUSE I LOST THE LADY DURING CHILD BIRTH OF MY BABY.

justwise:

Why do you keep posting this over and over again? I have seen this more than 4times now, why?

sndrmrtns:

what is your travel history?

edun.o:
@ighojohn: don't tell dem you want to stay 3months. Say u'll stay 5days cos u don't want to leave your family for so long. U could take ur marriage cert and a pic. Emphasize d fact that u have a child in nigeria. U shld be fine. D v/o might nt even check any doc.

ighojohn:

I HAVE JUST BEEN REFUSE THE VISA, AND KNOWING THE REASON WHY I WAS REFUSED AM THINKING OF REAPPLY AGAIN IN A DAY OR 2DAYS TIME , IS IT WISE. NO DOCUMENTS WAS CHECK PLS ADVICE

Gbenge 77: Oh,sorry I didnt see you original post.You would need to take along your statement of accounts and all documents that will prove that you are able to sponsor our trip.Generally,you would need to have upwards of 750,000 or even a million to show that you are able to finance your trip.Also,you might take any property docs along.All these could help you prove you are not an intending immigrant.Nonetheless,while docs are important,Consular officers do not place a priority on them.They are usually pressed for time and seldom check documents.In addition,I must say that being single is a negative,but does not necessarily hinder you from getting a visa.The married could be denied,and the single granted .Crux of the matter,go with all financial docs you can just in case,provide brief answers to the questions asked,but explain if you are asked to,and most importantly: DO NOT APPEAR DESPERATE FOR A VISA.THATS ACTUALLY THE REASON FOR THE INTERVIEW.Prove that you dont intend to elope and even if they dont grant you a visa,you will be just fine.Thats the kinda attitude the co wanna see.With such an attitude,consider the visa yours.Best wishes:does this suffice?

Good chance is when you re married and travel together before then you can have good chance of getting the Visa but give shot of it because Visa is by favor.

bluebarz: I need a real candid advice cos a whole lot about this visit visa issue seems confusing a bit to me. First am a newbie still trying to get more knowledge in this. I was recently signed up with an upcoming record label in Kentucky USA, not as an artiste but as a promoter / street member in Nigeria, my cousin (white guy) is the star artiste in the label, recently we got into talks and they want me to come over to the states, my cousin is ready to provide an invitation letter and all the accommodation details I'll need for the embassy but the real deal is I aint going for just a visit, I am going over to be stay, I thought about the label getting me a H1B visa but they are still in the registration process with the US government. Please I want to know if its advisable to use the Visit visa for entry first as I intend to work in the states upon arrival and can I upon entry find a way to workout staying beyond the 3months stay period without immigration issues? I have pictures of me and my cousin when he came to Nigeria, I don't want to risk rejection, so I want to be guided properly and I forgot to mention, I just graduated, I have served my NYSC and I have houses here with tenants living in them which I manage on behalf of my father. Do I stand a chance of been accepted for a visit and if so how do I go about the process, sorry if am taking u back, I just need clarifications.
