ysfraimi20:
Thank you for your concern, i believe renewal shouldn't take much time since it's not a fresh application. Well let see if it will be ready this week as you say

The U.K. doesn’t have a renewal system like the US so they treat every application as a new application however the visa officers tend to be a lot lenient towards those who have visited the U.K. and played by the rules

ysfraimi20:
I see no reason why we frequent travelers have to wait so long to get visa renewed. UK and the way they handle things....sucks

Today is only day 15 nowww. I believe your passport will be ready for collection within the next few days

The gods must be crazy but I no believe say that place in France.

It’s Paris . I bought corn there in 2014. It’s full of souvenir hawkers / corn vendors from Mali , Senegal , Ivory cost etc ..

My wife and kids will be going on family vacation to Disney land in California. Have already book for the appointment before I learn about this high rate of refusal.
Though, we have learnt so much from the various postings here, I will appreciate any tips on how to succeed in this new regime.

Sir kindly attend your appointment with zero burden in mind. Questions are very easy. Easier than any job interview . If it’s approved continue with your plan and if it’s not approved go to Disney in Paris which is also very lovely . Most of the scaremongers on this chat wall are invested so much on the Visa project . If you’re investing only the visa fees and your application you should be fine whichever way it turns out

LadyGuinivere:
Haaaaa. This matter ko easy rara again o!
My friend that has had plenty visas and was in the last government dispensation and travelled a bazillion times was refused o!
Called in for dropbox and kpa! Denied.
Same with like 5 others ladies that also birthed there. Despite paying all the bills.
My advice? If you gave birth, just keep your renewal o! Face Dubai or UK for now

I read this somewhere : "U.S. Citizen Child – Anchor Child – Born to a B-1/B-2 Tourist Visa Holder: Recently, I had a client call me stating he was called into the U.S. Embassy and his B-1/B-2 tourist visa was cancelled because his wife recently went to the U.S. and had a baby born in the United States. Although he had a business in Guyana and no intent to move or live in the United States, his B-1/B-2 tourist visa was cancelled. The grounds for such cancellation may have been the fact that the visa holder now has a U.S. citizen immediate relative (child born in the U.S.) and eventually that child (when it reaches age 21) can file a family immigration petition for the visa holder."

Jhonnyboy:
Hey Guys, New here.

Please, how long does it take to get your passport back from the Embassy?

I had my Visa Interview today (Tuesday) and I'm supposed to travel on Saturday.

Any information would help, thank you.

It should be ready by friday. Track to see when the visa is issue. Add two days to the issue date

@abnot

Lol if they don't care how are they going to pay Vo salary ? Do you think Us embassy build one day or they don't pay our Govt tax or pay workers abi na free work them they do all this our visa fees are important to them ..Who is going to UK 4 schooling finished ur study and go back to naija now they are shouting ppl no come study again .

Consulate affairs is only one part of an embassy. If it is all about visa fees why does the US not charge visa fees to citizens of EU member states? Probably because they make a lot more money from trade deals between both nations. It costs any government more to deal with the liabilities that come with an illegal immigrant than the $160 visa fees. So they gain by earning visa fees from desperate west africans (Nigerians and Ghanians) and denying who they so wish to deny. I haven't witnessed any crave for US visas in east or southern africa the way I see in Nigeria and Ghana. Southern africans (residents of Lesotho, Namibia, Angola, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Swaziland and Botswana) prefer to go to South Africa to spend their money. Citizens of East african countries prefer to go to UAE, Thailand, Qatar, China, Vietnam... to spend their vacations.

Lol who says USA cares if Nigerians visit their country? Last I checked there is only one direct flight between a US city and a Nigerian City. So they care not. Since it’s vacation most of us applied for a visa for ... Why not go spend your vacation somewhere else ? South Africa denied my visa application three years ago (I had a strong travel history) when I applied to go on vacation under the guise of “insufficient funds”. A few weeks after I got another job and didn’t even go on a vacation that period . Till date I’ve not applied to visit South Africa .

The average nigerian man or woman is not patriotic which is one of the reasons these VO's generalize and categorize most Nigerians as insincere as regards visa applications to First World countries. Even as an individual with no background or training as a VO I can tell that more than half of the posters here are seeking to relocate to the US and are only posing as tourist applicants here. While relocating in itself can be a good thing it is not in the applicant's interest to relocate without going through the appropriate migrant visa route. Even people migrating through legal means dont always get insulated from US immigration complexities.

For instance in 2004 our neighbour who worked for a multinational firm got posted to the US office of his employer for a three year period on a H1-B visa. Prior to this transfer his wife and family had spent a couple of vacations in the US and had all their kids in Atlanta. However, the wife insisted on the entire family relocating to the US so she could get a green card through that process. On getting to the US the husband found out that he was even better off in the nigerian subsidiary of his employer and gradually became disgruntled. By the 10th month he resigned to return to Nigeria to work for a Nigerian based organization. The US employer informed US immigration and his H1-B visa and that of his wife got revoked. The husband returned to Nigeria while the wife tried to switch to another visa category which was denied. She appealed and paid a couple of immigration consultants to find her way around the system while the husband was in Nigeria having some form of satisfaction. He visited them three to five times yearly on a B visa. However, after three years or there about his application to renew his B visa was denied. The VO in abuja claimed that he had no ties to nigeria as his entire family were in US. He explained to the VO that he was on a H1-B visa and even rejected a promotion from his US employer to return to nigeria from where he sends money to his family but the VO insisted and rejected his application. The wife and kids had to eventually return to Nigeria after which she was handed a 10-year ban for remaining in the USA illegally. I asked myself if it was worth the struggle despite the fact that they are well to do in Nigeria.

gentlenoni:
Good evening house! I've been following this thread for quite sometime now and it really helped me when I had my 1st F1 visa interview, unfortunately I was not well equipped as I was denied at the Lagos embassy in March 2018. This was my experience ;

VO: Good morning.
Me: Good morning sir.
VO: pass me your passport and I-20 please...
Me: sure!(gave him passport, I-20 and sevis fee receipt)
VO: where are you going to in the US?
Me: Stratford University in Virginia.
VO: *nods head* in Virginia. What course are you going to study?
Me: yes. Computer and information systems security.
VO: how long do you intend to spend in the US?
Me: approximately 19 months.
VO: did you apply any other schools?
Me: yes! SJSU and ISU
VO: okay, ISU. where you admitted to any?
Me: yes! SJSU.
VO: so why did you choose Stratford over SJSU?
Me: I chose Stratford because it offers a curriculum that fits my area of interest. It's curriculum combines Advanced technology, hands-on lab and the traditional educational method of impacting knowledge to students.
At Stratford university, students spend less time in class taking notes, rather they spend more time at the lab conducting hands on research using advanced technology, which is what I need to be more effective and professional in my area of study and also my basis for selecting an institution.
VO: what do you intend to do after graduation?
Me: I intend to come back home and contribute to the development of information systems in Nigeria by creating and designing newer softwares for information security and database management. And I also intend to establish an IT institute where I'll train students in IT skills.
VO: Who is sponsoring you?
Me: My dad.
VO: What does he do?
Me: He is a major distributor of Vitafoam Nig plc and also a contractor of Julius Berger Nig plc.
VO: Vitafoam?
Me: Yes.
VO: What's your highest qualification?
Me: Bachelor of science.
VO: In what course?
Me: Chemistry.
VO: Why are you switching from Chemistry to Information systems?
Me: In a time like this where ICT is taking over the world, I want to be among those to impact that change in my own country.
VO: That does not answer my question. Why are you switching?
MeNow having no clue what to say)I've always loved working with computer and I want to study this course just to enhance my skills so as to add to the development of information systems in my country.*stuttering*
VO: Sorry at this time I cannot issue you a visa. This paper states the reason why. You can apply again. Thank you!
Me: Thank you!

I applied a 2nd time in april 2018 at the Abuja embassy and was also denied...this time I went fully equipped as I got better answers to every question but was denied still on the basis that I was switching programmes, and the VO said she couldn't get enough information and that was the only question she asked me b4 handing over the green paper. Now I want to apply again but I need to get another I20 from the school but they're requesting for an updated statement of account. Can I send a different account from the one I sent to them previously as it no longer holds the stipulated fund? What other tips do I need to know before embarking on another journey(any possible questions that I may be asked as regards my transcripts)? Fod bless y'all as you do justice to my questions. Thanks in anticipation!

Applying for the same visa class three times in a row shows desperation. Deep down you and only you know why you are making the switch. Just tell them why you decided to make that switch. They may also be wondering why a a graduate school made you an offer to study a course without a foundation or college degree in a similar course.

Recently a friend of mine undergoing a 1 year course in wales was seeking a tourist visa to USA (first timer). He was advised to come apply in Nigeria since his ties to Nigeria was likely goin be stronger . However considering the cost implication of travelling to Nigeria with no guarantee he decided to apply at the us embassy in London.
He was asked about the purpose of the trip to which he answered that he was going on a vacation. The Vo asked what city . He said Washington DC. The VO asked bout his course of study and then the VO asked if he was traveling alone and he answered that he was travelling with a group of friends . The VO then asked what countries he had been to and he mentioned France , Spain , UAE, Ghana, Cameroon, South Africa , Ivory Coast , Belgium . The VO then asked looked up the passport and asked if he used another passport for the trip to France . He said yes and passed the old passport to theVO but the VO told him not to bother . Vo typed in some information and told the applicant that his visa has been approved and he’ll be contacted by the courier delivery company.

Lawlek:
My experience on the US B1/B2 Visa application.

I paid for the visa application sometime in February this year. Myself, my wife and 3 kids. I filled the online forms myself and booked appointment for a datw in March (9:45am) with plans to travel in April.

On the day for the interview, we were turned back due to irregular appointment number. It was only my number that reflected on all other co-applicants appointments. We were told to reschedule in 72 hours.

I did as was told and choose, a date in May and also changed the date of our planned vacation to July.

Fast forward to May. We got to the Lagos office very early in the morning. Paid the usual #500 for parking. We ate our breakfast first and then proceeded to the queue and in we went because everything was alright this time.

After a lady confirmed out appointment etc, we joined the queue for the biometric. Myself, my wife and my 14 year old son. The other 2 children were younger than 14, so no need for biometric. After this, we again joined the queue for the interview proper. It was as if it was the judgment day. We could clear hear other visa applicants confessing before the VO. Some were almost begging, I could hear some lying with a straight face.

We were directed to cubicle 8. The VO was all smile. He was the same guy that did our biometric. The lady (applicant) directly before me was denied. My turn

VO: Good morning, immediately looking at his computer screen
Me: Good morning

VO: You are a .... (My job)?
Me: Yes.

VO: What is ...(a question only my professional colleagues would know).
Me: I defined the term without blinking nor 2nd thought.

VO: How many years have you been in practice of your trade?
Me: 8 years now.

VO: What Company do you work for?
Me: Named the Company sharply.

VO: Tell me about your daily work.
Me: I coincisely narrated my daily assignment.

VO: Hello Ma'am (my wife) where do you work?
My wife: I work with the Lagos State Government.

VO: Where?
My wife: Local Government.

VO: Which local government?
My wife: ... Local government.

VO: What level are you?
My wife: Level 9.

VO: Why are you traveling?
Me: Family Vacation.

VO: Do you know anyone in the US?
Me: No.

VO: Which State are you going in the US?
Me: Miami, Florida.

VO: How long do you intend to stay in the US?
Me: Just 2 weeks.

VO: Do you have any other kids aside from these 3?
Me: No. Just these 3.

VO: Do you guys have travel experiences?
Me: Yes.

VO: Where and where?
Me: UK, Germany, Spain and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

VO: You madam?
My wpaperKingdom of Saudi Arabia.

VO: Where are the Visas? I can't find them in your international passports?
Me: Yes, they are in our old international passports.

VO: And where are they?
Me: I left them in the car. I was told not to bring them in.

VO: Who told you not to bring them in?

He continued... Reaching for a white paper, he quickly wrote m case number, the date, my surname and marked the portion ...You are requested to provide additional documentation and then he wrote old passport.

VO: Show this document to the security, it will let you out and let you back in. Go and bring your old passports.

Me: OK Sir. Taking fast strides.

Upon my return from the car, with our old passports in hand, I went straight to him, with my family. He carefully went through all my visas and the one on my wife's old passport.

VO: Can I have all the passports back?
Me: Passed it to him sharperly.

He scanned them all again. He then looked up at me.

VO: Congratulations Mr. ..., your visas have been approved, you shall be contacted by the DHL office
Victoria Island in 72 hours via text messages or email to come and pick up your Visas.

Me: Thank you Sir.

It was our first attempt and we received the text messages and email in 72 hours. We have our visas now and the travel plans is in top gear. We booked the hotel.

As we can all see the VO was very much interested in your travel history. This tallies with what many contributors have advised . Travel history makes it easy for the VO to make a decision for B2 (tourism/family visitor) applicants. If you’ve gone to Canada , England and France on vacation and returned to your country there’s a very little chance that you’ll go to the US for the same purpose and remain there as an illegal immigrant .

Wena1900:
Good day house, please i need your advice I have an interview on June 25 for b1 visa am a Lagos state staff nominated to go for a business conference in NYC, I have
A letter from the conference am to attend
6 months pay slip
employment letters and several promotion letters
Introduction letter for my department
letter of sponsor ship by the government
I was told i don,t need my own account statement since i not sponsoring the trip.
my travel experience is South Africa, Kenya,India and last month I was in Canada with my family.
please house what are my chances i heard the US visa is very hard

YOu should be fine. Just hold them in the event that you are asked. I have never been asked for a document at the US consulate except when I applied for a F1 visa

Chuchunana:
I agree with you. Bankers rank high on the list of people that abuse their visas. Once appraisals come in low and their jobs are a bit shaky, some of them travel and stay back in the USA.
Even the current Canada asylum craze, many ex-bankers (that got their visas while still working) are involved and migrating heavily.

Pity,Banking is not as "exalted" as before...Naija go better!

I dont agree with you. During my stint in the banking sector in 2016/2017 a lot of us travelled in/out Lagos for vacations and trainings. The bank had an automated application through which members of staff applied for letter of introduction for embassies. A good number of my former colleagues had their families legally residing in USA, UK, Canada and Ireland. In addition a lot of them got their wives to go have their babies in USA.

On the other hand i'll give a short story. In 2016 about 14 of us were sent to new york on a two week training. Prior to the commencement of the training about 11 of us applied to the US consulate for B1 visas and 10 of us were issued. The guy who got denied was older than us (in his late 30s ) and he joined the bank many years ago as an unskilled staff and later got his education upgraded and was converted to a full staff but mere looking at him he looked quite unkept. He was denied and he immediately reapplied and was denied again. He couldn't make the trip again.

We all travelled on Delta to HArtsfied airport ATL and on getting there the CBP officers accosted one of us (I've always felt like she looks unkept for a lady ). They grilled her and even called our boss at the office in nigeria. Our boss confirmed that she was there on a training with 12 others, confirmed the amount that was given to her and even told the CBP officers that he will be joining the team in new york the following week. She was eventually granted entry.

The point I'm trying to make is that these VO's/CBP officers act based on instincts. From your profile, appearance and composure they tend to judge who they suspect as a potential absconder and who they believe will return home to Nigeria at the end of their trip.

First timers applying for tourism purpose usually have a difficult time proving their eligibility to the VO because the VO tends to wonder why the applicant chose USA as their first touristic destination. Going to the USA or any country illegally is not worth it.

https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/Nigeria.html Ours is not bad. Though 5 years would have been better.

haywhyb:
Good afternoon house. I had my interview today. The VO at Windows 11 Lagos wasn't smiling. The first thing he did was that he collected my passport and he checked if I had Visa's on my slip. He just dropped it on his table. He quickly checked is computer for my previous application which I was denied. Base on my own assumption, I feel because I filled a no, on my DS 160 form where I was asked if I have an immediate relative, which I thought means younger brother or sister in the US who is a citizen not knowing it means a Spouse of a US citizen. Anyways I had corrected that sha. My interview goes thus.
VO: Good morning
Me: Good morning
VO: what is the address you are going to stat in the US?
Me: I told him
VO: What is the purpose of your trip
Me: I want to go visit my mum who is having some health issues.......she lives with my sister who is a citizen of the United States and she had sent me an invitation to this regard.
VO: How many days are you going to spend?
Me: 9 days and I am coming back to prepare for my final exams and NYSC.
VO: Are you married
Me :No
VO: Do you have kids?
Me: No
VO: Sorry I wont be approving your Visa gives me a blue slip.
I kept wondering what went wrong. I wasn't asked sponsorship and all the rest. It pained me sha.

Sorry about your refusal considering the effort and money you’ve put in. Better days ahead. However from your script one can tell that you’ve not learnt much from the thread.
With no travel history and a mother/sister in the USA your social/family ties seems more inclined to the USA than to Nigeria. Lesson 1: Never use your sibling or family member’s status as evidence to strengthen yours. VO’s are not interested in all those invitation letters and the likes.
They are more interested in the person they are interviewing and how convincing their story is.

US visa interviews are easy to pass but many of us seem to complicate things. A friend of mine had an interview at the US consulate for the first time on friday and the VO simply asked her where she was going to, what she was doing (student in her final year awaiting results) and what countries she had been to . There after he typed in some things on his screen and told her “your visa is approved”.

Agbaletu:
I don't agree with you. My friend did his international passport in January and got USA visa in February. He has never travelled out of Nigeria to any country in his entire life. He has even returned to Nigeria after the conference in the USA.

From my observation it’s easy to get a B1/B2 visa on a virgin passport for purposes such as conference , business meeting or to attend a training . However for tourism it’s usually more difficult cuz the VO’s don’t want to believe that USA is the first country an applicant will be planing to spend their vacation at .

Simieoni2:
Good day everyone
Am a silent reader of dis page
I went for my interview today 07/06/2018 by 9:15
And i was denied it went as follows:

Vo: good morning
Me: hello, good morning
Vo: whr are you going to in d states
Me: iowa
Vo: u going to iowa for what
Me: vacation , my uncle invited me over
Vo:wot do u do
Me: am a banker in xxxx bank, i work as an internal auditor in d bank
Vo: married
Me: yes i have a boy he is 1 year and 3 months
Vo: have you travelled out of your country
Me: nah neva had reason to
Vo: we sorry bla bla
Hands over the blue sheet, enjoy your day


Whr did i go wrong?

She couldn’t assess your ties properly . A history of a vacation in any of the G7 countries would have made it easier for her to doubt any suspicion she had about your remaining in the USA illegally but with limited information about you she decided to reject your application.
Nigeria’s economic situation and continuous irrelevance in the global space has made it difficult for even genuine holiday seekers to secure visas

boujeeassnigga:
Can I appy for a USA visa while in another country? For instance, can I apply for a USA visa while in dubai as a nigerian? If possible then how?. Need help with this.

YEs you can

Going through these posts I thought I had shared a summary of my interview transcript earlier in the year . I woke up one morning and figured that I hadnt been to USA since 2013 and talked my sister into spending this years vacation in the US. I completed the form, payed the fee online and reserved an interview slot. On the eve of the interview I worked overnight and left the office at 5am to my house. Took a bath and headed to the consulate.First turn off was when I was directed to a parking lot a few meters into Walter Carrington crescent and was told its 1,000 to park. I grudgingly attested and walked to towards the US consulate at about 6:20am for a 7am interview. The crowd was amazingly huge with most people in their best behavior. Patiently queued up and waited for my turn. In the course of queuing up a female police rank & file asked me for 1,000 naira to hold my token as I wont be allowed in with it but I rejected her offer and kept the token on an opening above the transparent shade under which we queued. Slowly completed formalities with CGI and proceeded to the main embassy building across the road. Went through a queue, enrolled my finger print and queued up for the interview: As soon as I was called I walked to the window and passed my passport along with a DS160 confirmation page

ME: Good Morning
VO: Morning
VO:Why are you going to the US?
ME: To spend part of my annual vacation
VO: WHere in the US are you going to ?
ME: New YOrk City
VO:Why New York?
ME:Because I love spending my vacations in big cities
VO types for a while
VO:What do you do for Bleep XXXX PLC
ME: I design and develop software solutions for their FinTech division
VO: Tell me more about that
ME: I summarized what I do for my employer.
VO types for a while and starts to flip through my passport
VO: I see you studied in the US a while ago. What did you study
ME: Software Engineering (I wonder how he knew cuz I left USA 7 years ago after my studies and didnt have the passport I used back then with me)
VO: I can also see you studied in the UK. Was it software engineering you studied also
Me: No I studied for a general graduate degree IT
VO: What did you go to Do in Netherlands in 2015
ME: I went on vacation
VO: Was that while you were studying in the UK ?
Me: YEa
VO: When last were you in Europe
ME: Three weeks ago
VO types a bit
VO: YOur visa is approved and you will be sent a tect message when your passport is ready to pick up (he circles the DHL collection centre address) and passes me the white paper with the address
Me: THank you


Interview as too long. I expected a 2 - 3 minutes interview
Last 5 years travel history: Been to UAE twice, Bahrain once, Ghana (4 times), Togo (once), SA (once), Netherland (Twice) SPain (thrice), France(twice) , Italy (once), UK (eleven times),

reddot:
Hmmn jst came across this thread today. I actually graduated from there some years back. I do have some reservations about the drug issue though.

I didn't see much out of the ordinary while there ( third set)

But bro, I think I might need a few words of advice from you on another matter.

At the risk of derailing the subject of this thread I'll just mention; it has to do with Zenith bank recruitment after medicals for a full time employee.

I came across your moniker on the Zenith thread but apparently newly registered members aren't allowed to post anything on that section.

If it's cool I'll PM you my contact so we can talk.


Thanks

Sir send your whatsapp contacts ? Is it a lagos branch or upcountry branch position ? I’m not familiar with the upcountry process

mostHandsome01:
ok thanks alot, About securing a date, I didnt quite get how my director wants me to check if there is an open window for interview before september, pls kindly help if there is a way to check an open window,

Visit the consulate section of the USA embassy’swebsite . All information about appointment booking can be found there

mostHandsome01:
Hello guys in the house, I appreciate your efforts here. I kindly need ur helps as quick as possible.

I was called by my branch director yesterday saying I will be assisting one of our senior directors to the usa by September, he said the company will be paying for the whole trip, He also said money will be forwarded into my account to pay for my visa form and i should check if there are open windows for interviews before September. I went home to research about traveling to the usa cos have neva been to the US. I realised i needed a fat Statement of account so i told my director today and he said thats not an issue because the company will issue me a letter that i will take to the embassy which will state that all my journey expenses will be taken care of by the company.

Have been thinking, if i knew this journey will come up, i would have been building up my account because i dont know.if the letter the company will give me will be able to cover statement of account

so my questions guys.
1) How do i check if there is an open window for interview before September as i am new to this thing and everything seem to be in a rush

2) Will the letter my company will be issuing to me be enough to stand in place of the company's statement of account

PLEASE HELP A BROTHER WITH THIS ANSWERS GUYS

TWoods
LadyGuinivere
seyewest and others, pls help out.

You don’t need a fat statement of account for USA or any European country . All they need to see is a history of inflows (steady) in your account to gauge your financial well-being which enables them access the possibility that an applicant will abscond based on his/her economic situation back here at home . And fortunately US visa officers hardly ask for a document when assessing a B1/B2 visa application. I’ve applied for schengen visa (France ) with 240k in account balance and it was issued .

I’ll advise you apply and secure a date in abuja or lagos and complete the form honestly.

Rubbish seen many Nigerians consistently acquiring plots here and there yet when they need cash they are unable to liquidate . A colleague of mine bought some plots somewhere at a cost of 3M . Four years later he wanted his wife to give birth in Texas and he tried to sell two of the plots. They told him the value of the two plots was now 5M. For 6 months he couldn’t find a buyer. I’d rather invest in other things or even pension assets

IsraelBabs:
Help me anyone.
My interview is less than one week nw, what are the likely questions i can treat for nw to make me prepare for the interview. I am really desperate for the US visa. Its a visiting visa with an invitation letter

What’s the situation of things with you here in Nigeria? The invitation letter you have may not be important. During my last two interviews I was only asked for my passport and DS160 form. The only time I submitted some documentation was when I applied for a study visa during which I was asked for sevis, offer letter and bank statement.
Look at it this way, the moment the VO meets with an applicant he/she is trained to categorize you as an intending migrant. Your profile and responses to the questions asked then gradually convinces the VO that you aren’t likely to migrate. Sometimes it may not be easy but once you have a good job (they know the good/better jobs in Nigeria), strong background and may be travel history it becomes very easy. Let me explain better

Good Job:
A stable job with stable income in a timely manner. Some organizations are known and they tend to lay a bit of emphasis on your job description.

Background:
Sometimes from your family background it becomes difficult to suspect that you’ll be an intending migrant. For instance the son of a level 17 federal civil servant is not likely to go to the US as an alien. Also a man with a no close family member in the US illegally may be seen as less prone to immigrating through the B1/B2 route.

Travel History:
Majority of B1/B2 applicants tend to be applying for the purpose of going to the US on a vacation. Assuming you have gone to Cape Town on vacation in 2014, Paris in 2016 and planning a vacation in Los Angeles in 2018, the VO is likely to be at ease with your application.

Lastly packaging sells you anywhere. The way you dress/appear/speak/confidence/carry yourself tends to influence a stranger’s judgement of your worth. We may not admit it but its the fact. Don’t act desperate. Go with the “I don’t care whether I get it attitude”

solveprob:
Its B1/B2.This is what am saying that I want to do it myself.How do I void the previous submissions by agents.

Make a new submission and be truthful about every information you fill into the form. Forget about whatever the agent may have put .

solveprob:
House and the moderators and everybody thanks for this help you are doing may God bless you all.You have boosted my confidence to do this thing my self instead of wasting huge sums on agents.

I made an application by myself in early 2016 for b1b2 and was denied and handed a blue paper.Now I have a challenge.In February or so I contracted an agent to do family vacation visa for me but my wife refused we continue with agent.Lost over 200k visa fees and "admi charges" to the agent.We switched to another agent but this time i refused to make any payment apart from visa fees that I will only pay when visa comes out.

The problem I have now is that I dont know the content of the application form that was filled for me and my family as the agent insist I should come back and use them.
Please house how do I void all these agents applications and create a clean application filled by myself ?
Please help me.
Thanks to all.

What kind of visa were you applying for that warranted your continuous investment in an agent ? If it’s B1/B2 then you are wasting your funds as you and only you will appear for the interview . Complete the DS160 form yourself with genuine data and head out for your interview . The questions are straight forward .

Meaning of bnb sir?

BnB means bed and breakfast . I meant AirBnB which is a kinda of marketplace enabling homeowners with a spare room or with a spare home to rent out to tourusts or visitors for an affordable amount. YOu could get a nice room in a nice building for $60 per day.

nothing wrong with the structure. it's the ppl

A system where most of the states are consumers of resources from 3 to 5 states. Don’t deceive yourself Nigeria will only continue to get worse with this system. Kindly read about the federal system being operated in USA and you’ll see that Nigeria is doomed to fail without oil money
