Hello domcreative -

No, you weren't the victim of a visa agent. You are responsible for all information presented on your DS160 and at your interview. You hired a visa agent hoping that it would increase your chances of getting a visa. Your agent filled out your forms with inaccurate information in an attempt to increase your chances of getting a visa. You went to an interview based on the false application. Do us the respect of taking accountability for your choices.

Hi Guys, i have been reading this trend since August, part 2 to Part 3. I was at the embassy today and i have to admit the tension was crazy!! My case was a bit scary. My transcript below.

VO - Good Morning
Me - Good Morning, How are you doing?
VO - Can i have your passport
Me - Passed my passport
VO- Why are you visiting the US
Me - I am going on a vacation.
VO - Where are you going to?
Me - New York and I would love to Experience Christmas in New York and the highlight of my vacation would be a visit to the madison Square garden to watch the Knicks and ..... ( she cuts me )
VO - Someone filed a petition for you!!!
Me - What petition.
VO - Which surname do you use 1 or 2
Me - 2
VO - Your date of Birth
Me - 1st Of May 198*
VO - Your dads name is *******
Me - Yes
VO - Did you know he filed?
Me - No Idea ( i actually didn't state that in my Ds160, believe me i was panicking already because i had no clue what *Petition* was to be very honest). Then she stood up and left for a minute. ( Back )
VO - Where did you study
Me - 8 years Medicine in Russia
Vo - What is the undergraduate program Like
Me - 1 Year Russian Language 6 years of medicine and 1 year internship.

Then she was like pick up your visa at so so so in 3 working days.

Me - When was the petition filed .. She said 16 years ago.

I have never been to the embassy, my dad never mentioned a word on petition and the scary part was the record was there waiting for me for 16 YEARS. I do have solid travel history UAE, France, Russia, Seychelles and other african countries. But i think the petition was the deal breaker. Thank you guys, really appreciate the experiences shared.

I sincere appreciate the initiator of this thread and all those answering our questions, God bless you.

My brother has invited us I, hubby & 2 kids to the us and he's also sponsoring as we cannot even afford it, our salary isn't that good.
My question is this,
1. when filling the form, do we fill my brother as the sole sponsor which is actually d case or I and hubby as d sponsor? Do the Vos frown at sponsoring working class adults?

Wife works in a bank earning 400k, myself earning 500k+. My Uncle invited us on a short visit if 10days, and we have planned to travel by mid Feb 2018. Please what is our chances and what are likely questions V.O can asked us. Thank you guys!

uzotex150:
please I my USA visa Agent have submitted my VISA application and have booked appointment for me ..I have changed my mind of country....can cancel the whole thing? would it affect me if I want to travel to US in the future?

famousguy01:
Pls house I need ur help, I filled Dec 12 as my departure date on my ds-160 form and intend on staying for 3 weeks but my interview date is schedule for Dec 14. Hope this won't affect my chances on getting a visa

bigbus:
No problem. But it is good that you have your New York-Atlanta ticket before you meet the CBP in New York. Alternatively, have it very clear how your intend to get to Atlanta.

MamaOre:
Good day all, pls I'm new on this thread. I really need some clarifications. I booked my flight to the US with virgin Atlantic and my stopover is for 18hrs (was looking for awoof).
Pls I don't intend to leave the airport before connecting. Do I still need transit visa?
I've called Virgin, the lady told me they are not trained on visa issues so they cant give me right info.

I'm confused. Pls help.

Thanks

josiahese:
Manhattan,New York, USA.
What are some of the likable questions?
thank you

josiahese:
I'm aware
I would be going to Central Park and Times Square they are about 5 mins walk from the hotel that's why I choosed it.
Yes I have to pay 86 dollars per night.
I have a good pay here of 350k monthly..
Would I be asked why I choosed the hotel or Manhattan?
I'm in my early 20s but am engaged an I live alone.. I do part time at the University and I'm graduating by February... I don't know if I stand a chance but am honest with all info I gave then in my DS 160... Just 8days vacation... I also have enough money in my bank.. Saved for years now.
My parents are also comfortable and am the only child.
Just want to tour New York.
Please can you help evaluate me..

kristinbaby:
She is very lucky to meet a listening merciful VO that is having a good day. Many people in her situation that fail to provide old passport with visa of their travel history are denied. Any deception always damages overall credibility of visa applicant. Read in between the lines of her interview. From the line, yes I have my old passport in the car and to another story of her driver go with the passport and she even confirm her lie, she said. Me: yes I don't risk foreign food like that(that was a lie sha) except pizza that I bought few times.. my own normal food.
She is very lucky. I must say again she is very lucky to meet such VO, another VO could have deny her the visa. Confidence indeed!!!

jalay:

We hate ourselves too much to succeed in this country. Innosson cars are 60% locally sourced, which means that they will always be cheaper than imported brand new cars, but who buys them?
Nigeria needs a leader who will close our seaports and say with a straight face; 'if we dont make it here, we dont need it here'. Thats the only way to grow our local industries.
If electricity is the issue then pick one state (maybe Abuja) and give it steady power supply for industries with every and any means (including nuclear and solar)

India rarely imports. They try to make it in India

Fyorgyn:
I posted my post dropbox interview transcript on the birthing thread.

On why my passport was held for two weeks, I haven't the foggiest idea! I am sha glad it is all sorted!

Fyorgyn:
This post made me smile yesterday... see as I don become reference point!

I finally got my passport back after almost two weeks. It was not funny waiting... not knowing what went wrong. I really was at my wits end because I had missed a meeting in the US and was on the brink of missing another in a different country.

It really is true what they say... Apply for visas as early as possible because anything can happen!

I did not envisage that I will be asked to schedule an interview after dropbox submission... or that the interview dates will be so far at this time of the year.

Lesson Learnt sha!
