DARKLIGHT:
Thanks, boss! You succinctly explained it. Babbs, did your sister travel with tourist visa?
Oga, e no be my sister ooo, I read the story at the visit thread and I thought I share it here.

Another thing that didn't help her case was her returned ticket back to naija showed she'll be staying in the U.S. for four month... don't think she filled that on DS160 form. Very sad story.

DARKLIGHT:
Boss, are you sure that's the main reason? I have seen an admission letter bearing conditional status asking the prospective student to present some of his certificate originals on his arrival to the school. Gurus, please help look into this issue to avoid a relative incident from happening.

Actually, she was going to the U.S. on a tourist visa but had her school credentials with her...

@Deetus, that is not my sister... copied the story from the other thread.

Folks wanting to fly etihad to the U.S. Should be very careful. Copied this from the U.S. Visiting thread


Good day all. Please my sister us visa was cancelled at POE in Abu Dhabi because she carried her educational certificates along. She was equally delayed for 3days at the airport. Please house what is her chance of winning the case if she contact a lawyer. She said she was kept in an hotel with meal ticket before returning her to Lagos. I warned her not to fly Ethiad.

I just find out say the guy na Gay. Sorry for wasting ur time. Mk we die this connect.
Omg, I had a similar experience in Seattle long time ago... my friend told me about this guy who had a two bedroom apt and was interested in leasing one out, the dude was gay, my friend knew but never mentioned it to me. O boy, I went one evening to go checkout the apt, na so this dude start make moves on me ooo. The guy held my hand whiles showing me around the house, was lil surprised and wondered whether he was gay but I became convinced he was one when he started telling me, he'll be cooking for me, do my laundry, go to the movies, take care of my needs... blah blah blah.
Na so I find some excuse to exit the apt ooo... never to be heard from again. I would have been saved all this trouble, had my friend told me the guy was gay.

Sorry gentleiphy,luck was not jxt on ur side...I read ur script line by line and I was able to pick out why the crazy vo denied you despite your strong ties,financial and travel histories. Here we go: U got it write from the start not until when it got to married for 6yrs plus with no kid!.He/She believes that,as at that time of your travel histories,things was going on fine between you and your wife,now that you guyz have been married for 6yrs with no child!,problems might have transpired between you and your wife at the moment and here you are trav elling. Strong indication is there for you to press p if u get along with a lady and mistakenly or deliberately impregnate her. These are just my own observations base on your script,I stand to be corrected.We are all here to share views. Goodluck to u on ur nxt application.
O boy... this your observation get as e be.

Hello VO,

I applied for a B1/B2 visa in Nov 2012 for a conference in Jan 18 2013 after undergoing admin processing for 2 months I was called the visa was issued however , I was on a n assignment and I couldn't send in my passport for the visa to be stamped. I submitted my passport after the conference date which on Feb 14 2013 but it was refused.


Then in June of the same year 2013 I applied for a visit visa I was also denied.

Now , I am going for a masters degree program in a University in CT , I would like to know what my chances are really. I am married no kids. I am sponsoring myself.

Oh and the I-20 from the school just arrived.

Thank you.

Denied entry i235(b) to US & CBP told to withdraw my application voluntarily and mentioned under section 212 (a) (7) (a) (i) (I)

First time in December I travelled to my school under m1 visa but had to return home immediately before school start date as I could'nt access my ATM/Debit Card.I informed the situation to my school and left. Next I fixed everything and informed the school by submitting the finance document again. They accepted and told to pay 50% before entering US but I told I will come to school first and pay. They did'nt respond to this, but I got a admission acceptance conditional letter from them for April classes. So I figured out I could pay when I enter the U.S. I told my cousin to have my funds in his account and transfer or do pay orders to my school when needed in order to avoid a similar situation I faced. So I re entered US on April but was denied entry by CBP due to SEVIS terminated.CBP phoned the school but the school told to pay 50% first and then come but I told my admission to US is only decided by CBP so I will enter and pay. The school told they can't accept it. I showed my 100% financial document funds proof to CBP at that time but the CBP denied entry as my SEVIS is terminated and stamped 'Cancelled Application Withdrawn' in my passport and told I can apply for visa any time. So can I re apply for a new M1 visa for a different school in U.S. or will there be any problems applying in U.S. Embassy. This time I want to apply for PPL course first and do my CPL/ IR / SE & ME step by step since as I can't be there longer leaving home. Will the U.S. Embassy issue me M1 visa only for PPL

Hi V. O,

I see you have done so much work advising people on this thread. Thanks for your time and advice.
I am a prospective Msc student (Who's been offered a tuition waiver i.e Graduate assitantship). I was denied yesterday,
(the Consulate officer never asked for my I-20 or Knew i was on scholarship) she only asked.

What sch : I answered,

Let me have you Dad's Bank statement: I presented the GT bank statement since i am on scholarship.

She went through it, next thing was she offered me A sheet (Denied under Section 214(b).

I was dumbfounded. (Well i take some blame not going with My Dad's other bank statements/ His Company Documents and other documents. I felt one bank statement would do since i'm on scholarship.)

I have reapplied again and booked for another Interview in a week time.

Kindly advice. Would i have been wrong to have told her i'm on scholarship, since she did not ask?
On my Next interview is it pertinent i make mention of it to the Consulate officer?

Thanks.

Based on what you've written, as long as the mother all the siblings are U.S. citizens from birth even though they were born in Nigeria.

"A child born abroad to one U.S. citizen parent and one alien parent acquires U.S. citizenship at birth under Section 301(g) of the INA provided the U.S. citizen parent was physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for the time period required by the law applicable at the time of the child's birth. (For birth on or after November 14, 1986, a period of five years physical presence, two after the age of fourteen, is required. For birth between December 24, 1952 and November 13, 1986, a period of ten years, five after the age of fourteen, is required for physical presence in the United States or one of its outlying possessions to transmit U.S. citizenship to the child.) The U.S. citizen parent must be the genetic or the gestational parent and the legal parent of the child under local law at the time and place of the child’s birth to transmit U.S. citizenship."

http://travel.state.gov/content/travel/english/legal-considerations/us-citizenship-laws-policies/citizenship-child-born-abroad.html
How do the kids involve apply for a US passport? Must they apply for a consular report of birth abroad to a U.S. citizen, to obtain a US birth cert before they apply for the US Passport?

What is the chance of getting Australian Visa fron the country?how much does it cost to get the Visa in papua new guinea..please help out
Agents with their stories, Papua New Guinea ke, place wey OZ dey ship would be asylum seekers to, not to talk about the deplorable state they live in. Please don't try it. Process everything from naija. Don't worry about the virgin passport, just package your application very well.

@suxes2006,hello house
My aunt in USA want to send me a letter of invitation to come over. She also said I should let her know what other document she need to provide. I am currently unemployed in Nigeria and i don't know which document I should ask her to provide. Please, I need the house to advice me on what to tell her to send and how I should go about this. I would also like to know if it is possible for a guy who does not have a job to get visa travel down to USA.I have also not traveled outside the shores of this country. How do I go about it, where do I start and what should I tell her. My Aunt want me to come over there and apply for a Masters.Thanks for help and your advice.
It's been said so many times that invitation letters and other documents like bio data page, income tax return etc are not necessary when applying for a B1/B2. You'll be surprise VO is not going to ask to see those documents on your day of interview.
What is important is your social and economic ties to your country.

You made mentioned of doing your masters when you get to the state, so why can't you apply for schools in the states from Nigeria? IMO, the F1 visa is little easier to get with careful planning. Check out this thread, amazing things are happening there.
