Please try to be as truthful as you can be. My husband is not based in Nigeria, while I was filling my US visa application i was advised NOT to declare that my husband isn't based in Nigeria, they said it would raise a red flag, it would spoil my chances because we don't have children yet so how do I justify that I will come back. When the person's wahala was getting too much i wrote the same address as my Nigerian address so the person would let me be. As soon as the person left I changed it back to the real address of the Country where my husband is based.

Guess what? I got the visa and the ones who said they wouldn't grant me were ashamed.

Yea it could be that I was lucky and God favoured me. Why not pray for the same. It pays to give the right information.

so when he finally gets married and wants to apply again for his family he would say he divorced the first wife and married another right? Too much drama.

Hello House, so I went for my visa interview this morning at the US Consulate General Office in Lagos. It is my first time applying to the US and boy have I been nervous since the day I electronically signed my form and scheduled an appointment for my interview. My appointment was for 8am, got there at about 6am (the cab man came so early as if he was the one to be interviewed sef ). Met quite a lot of people already waiting, touts here and there, pls do not let them scam you. After going through all the security procedures, scanning, merry-go-rounding (hey madam flash drives are not allowed here, internet banking tokens are not allowed here, pls go back outside and drop your items then join the queue again ) I finally got in, had my passport scanned, biometrics taken and lo & behold i joined the queue to be interviewed. There was this guy at window ** who I was looking at, as he was refusing almost everybody's application, i kept praying silently God pls dnt let me be sent to this guy o kilode. Before I knew it I was called, madam pls step on to window **. I started quoting bible scriptures in my heart . He approved the visa of the couple before me, then I stepped forward.

Hello again pls,

My father's friend is inviting me to visit the US. He invited my father some yrs back and my father got the visa. Since then he's been doing drop box.

(I'm married and I've changed surname bt ofcos there is a section in the form that asks for names used in the past and another section for parent's details)

Now in the form, what do I state as the relationship btw me and this contact person in the US? Relative, friend, others?

Cn my father's friend be my friend? Hw do I explain further if I'm asked to explain myself at the interview? Do I then say he's actually a family friend that's why I picked friend? Or do I pick others in the form? And if asked to explain myself at the interview i'll say he's a close family friend nd a friend of my father for xyz number of yrs?

Pls advise.

Hello,

please advise me, whilst filling out my US visitor's visa form, a section there asks information about my spouse. He's in Canada and I've applied for Canadian visit visa twice (once before wedding and once after wedding), unfortunately I was refused on both occasions. Now will the fact that my husband is in Canada be a disadvantage for my US visa application? Will the VO think I won't return to Nigeria seeing that we do not have any kids or properties yet?
