Please how long before you got the notes


pointednose:
Good day everyone,

I just got the gcms notes I requested and found out the two reasons my application was refused.

First of all, they wrote that my friend's wife didn't put a supported letter of invitation to my application, and that since I will be travelling with my xxxxx child. There may not be any economic ties or financial reasons to come back to Nigeria.

I believe I can easily respond to this in my next application. However, I noticed that they wrote that I will be travelling with my .....child (......was cleaned off from the notes that was sent to me). I am guessing the..... means US or American child cos I gave birth to my daughter in the US but I didn't mark that she will be accompanying me to Canada, so I'm wondering why they will just assume that and then put it in my notes, then clean it off when I requested.

The second reason for the refusal is because my purpose of travel was vague and poorly documented.
My purpose of travel is visit, and doing some sightseeing. How do I put in an impressive purpose of travel especially because my purpose of travel is visit.

Thank you very much.

Lool my dear did you see me waste time to respond to his ignorance...I understand his level of thinking is only based on his circumstances and since i am an advocate of diversity and inclusion, i will accommodate his class of thought...

In as much as you have your right to your opinion, you ought not to undermine someone else's character.
You are stating the person and the organisation are into human trafficking. That's a step too much.

I know someone who went for a speaking engagement in US on behalf of his company, and was head hunted by the World Bank. He only returned to move his family. He left on a B1/B2 visa

I think people question what they dont know..2 months after i joined my company, I was sent to Netherlands for a 3 weeks workshop..5 months into our employment, one of the ladies that joined with me got a short term assignment in Netherlands for 18 months which she went for...Lets stop doubting things we don't know just because we have not seen it happen and it not happening around us does not make it a lie..Companies get level please..She might be working with one big IOC and not Adekoya and brothers

TWoods:


Too often we are guilty of thinking about our case in isolation. We forget that the VOs hear cases like this countless times everyday. They’ve learnt to take stories like hers with a pinch of salt.

What company in Nigeria sends you on an 8-week “business” trip to Europe within less than a year of employment? As far as the VO is concerned, she’s basically shopping around for countries to have her babies for citizenship purposes.

I think we all should give USA a long rest for now and save our money or put it to better use.
I was at the embassy some days back and a lot of people had gone before me, no one was given Visa, not even the elderly . I sincerely don't know what's happening.
My experience with a black American woman VO, I applied with hubby and son.

We: Good morning
VO: Good morning, can I have your passports.
Me: *hands it over
VO. Why do you want to go to the US
Hubby: for Vacation and childbirth
VO: where do you work?
Hubby: I work for a multinational company called ****** and I also have investment and run 2 of my own companies.
VO: asks me also
Me: I run my business it is a ***** company
We were bringing our documents out to show her company registration and letters and bank statements of each company (of which we had thousands of dollars in one of our bank statement) and personal bank statement
VO: don't give me any documents, I didn't ask for them, when I want I will ask for it. *Then she asks hubby* where have u travelled to?...
Hubby: Uk twice I was there just last month, Italy, France, Netherlands.
Me: *( I have not had time to travel, work, baby etc)* I have not travelled before, not really had d time for a vacation.
VO: * typing on her computer* where do you plan to go.
Hubby: Texas we have a doctor's appointment from the women's ****
VO. *Cuts him short, raising her hand* It's ok...... * Typing long on her computer
My son was even playing with her and repeating most of the things she was saying and we were smiling and laughing including herself.
Then she hands over the yellow slip, telling us
Vo: I'm sorry u are not eligible for the Visa, u can read about it on the paper, thank u
Me and hubby were shocked, she refused to check our documents, I had a budget sheet of 19k dollars, wch I was willing to spend because of renewal denial rate, ( I had saved enough to spend that amount) I was so weak and perplexed.. after being on d queue for so long preparing everything, we had about 4 bank statement loaded... She refused to see any....
It is well.... I just think we should stop pumping the USA with our hard earned money or better still anyone denied Visa should be refunded afterall, it's called "Visa fee", y pay money when you won't get the visa.

My own 2kobo

I think maybe you should have avoided Texas especially Houston.Once my own VoVO saw my hospital was in Texas she started blowing hot hot o.

Its well

So I just finished my 221g interview with a rejection..Lady we got was very mean though.
Vo: Are you guys married
Me: yes( i came with hubby and son)
Vo: is this your only child
Me:No we have a daughter too
Vo: Where was she born
Me: America
Vo: When
Me: September 2017
Vo: Can i see your receipts
Me: Hands over receipt
Vo: How much did you pay while looking through
Me: Over 6000
Vo: I mean for just Hospital only
Me: 2200
Vo: But on the receipt i say bill of 15k but you paid 2200 even though hospital said paid in full
Me: I paid what the hospital quoted in full.The 2200 excludes payment for doctor, peds, patho etc and I didnt use anu government funds as stated in the hospital letter addressed to the embassy(She cuts in and says thats okay please)
Types for a while and hands us a yellow paper saying you will know why you dont qualify as stated in the paper

I used Houston North West Medical centre
