Please share the transcript from your first application, maybe LadyG and others might be able to advise you after knowing what happened the first time.

vallyofpeace:
Thank you.

It's my second time.

she asked how much we earn
thought telling her about the money in the business account would have been diverting from the question she asked
what can we do now?

justwise:
The VO can only make decision based on the answers you gave, you did not mention the 10M from property proceeds when asked how much you earn.

From property proceeds which was used as capital and has appreciated overtime.

justwise:
Money you earn from the same business a lone?

they did not even check our bank statements, i had more than enough money in my personal account to finance the trip and we will still have over 10million in the business account when we return.
that would have been ascertained if the VO had requested for our bank statements.

justwise:
I'm thinking that the refusal has to do with your family finance, yes you and your wife earn a gross total of N550,000 a month but that is not salary, that is business money, travel to US for just 10days will probably take all that money. Flight ticket for 2, hotel, feeding etc.

So what do you have left to be able to run your business?

please, what do you think went wrong with my application?

LagosNIV:
I'm with LadyG - Kids are not a requirement. Plenty of single people get visas. Plenty of couples without kids get visas as well. There is more to this story...

Gudmorning Justwise
Please, what is your advice in my own case?

justwise:
Seriously can you just stop talking non-sense and apologise to alfayeed ? This is unacceptable

yes, she will go with me.
u will surely get ur ofada rice with ofada sauce, good meat go present inside.

LadyGuinivere:
Abeg ur queshions don pass puff puff. Na ofada rice I want now or agidi with stew and goat meat
The plan's all good but hope aunty go follow go. Family travel also counts

Amen and Amen
i can try portugal, spend 2 days there, proceed to paris since its schengen
how u reason am? (abeg forgive my plenty questions, when i travel, i go buy u puff puff )

LadyGuinivere:
Well I guess the more quality travel history, the berrer. If u hol' the kudi, try paris (their visa hard gan o!) And any other better country. Then either of u can apply solo.
I also pray that by then mrs alfayeed will be iya ibeji IJN amen

LadyG, thanks for your time
please, what do you think is the best option now?
visit europe with my wife and apply alone and use my wife as a tie or proceed to apply without the schengen trip?

LadyGuinivere:
Hello Larry. Permit me to agree and disagree with u.(My opinion)
Travelling together without kids to bring them back shikena is considered lack of ties.
Considering the nos of years without kids as lack of ties is discrimination. Most people have birthing challenges of 5-10-15 years and get visa.
I agree also with u that they could assume the alfayeed's would go and set up shop in the US
Peace.

what is your advise?
should i try again alone?

5 years.

she flipped through our passport pages
she saw the stamps

Goddey1975:
@alfeyeed i do not agree u ar refused cos of travel,but am suspecting d age disparity,cos of dis i wil support u apply alone,but did u show d vo d dubai paper visa or she just luk at d only d stamps?cos dey recognised dubai

Thanks for your encouragement
i thought of going first and using her as my tie back home, i surprise for the vo oh, i think say maybe na the age difference
we will get a schengen visa, visit 2 or 3 countries in the schengen region and try again but this time, i will go alone first, what do you think?

LadyGuinivere:
Allen amen oooooo! Amen oooooo! I receive that prayer o! I need the blessing die! Your pixs btw are da bomb. U r really grooving nwanne! Buy pof pof o! And agege bread

Alfayed no be pikin matter. Me and LordG never get pikin kwa but we get.
And na Chikwu de give pikin. They will come.IMO I believe the VO wasn't satisfied with your economic conditions really. Both of you running a family business. I mean its easy to uproot and run away. Especially without kids waiting for u.
I think a 'divide ansd conquer approach' may be best.
Make madam Alfayed try ist. If she get and goes and returns, u apply afterwards.Or u apply after she's successful. U can also add other countries to show u guys aren't flaky.

my broda, i felt real bad, they didn't even check anything.
i will try again though but maybe i will have to visit Europe like you advised
unfortunately, i don't have kids yet (they never gree come)

allen0000:
Well to me I believe that US visa is luck and sometimes travel history, try to visit Europe and not all this Arab, Asian countries and again travelling as a family ( kids include) is another advantage. If you have the fee please apply again asap. Family vacation would have been better with kids. Listen the first day I went to Abuja for the interview I made a mistake in filling my family, tot one form covers me and my wife and I was denied that day and immediately I reapply and got my visa approved, now am in US with my family but thanks to Lady G wey no gree make agent chop me. God go bless that woman. Note: I have been living in Asia for long but I came back for the purpose of this Visa and after the denied me I reapply and travelled to Paris for 3 days with my family. SAY NO TO AGENT. Chicago fine well well, Willis Towers, Navy Pier, Millennium Park, Been to Boston, NY, Chicago, Florida, NJ and DC, America fine oooo but coming back soon as my vacation remain 2 days to finish. Lady G I still owe u but God bless u
