Asorock 1: Hello tzetzefly and everyone in the house, I just wanna thank you all for your contributions and to thank almighty God for my interview today at the US embassy Abuja, though it wasn't successful, but I think I gained a lot as to experience. Ok this is how my interview went:Sorry about that. .Many a CO place a high premium on previous travel experience although some do not.But The key to getting a US visa remains the same ie convince the CO that you intend to return to Nigeria after your visit,which you were not able to do in this case.Some of them are unable to trust you with a US visa,until you have actually visited a few countries and returned.The law says every applicant shall be deemed an intending immigrant until he/she is able to prove otherwise.So,you can see those CO'S have got a difficult job in deciphering who or not is a genuine visitor,and of course are not infallible.But you would do well to heed his advise to visit a few nations prior to re-appying .x |

Whole79: Hi Nairalanders, I have a son recently in the US. He's over one month old. I plan bringing him back to nigeria this month to take care of him here in nigeria and for him to be able to see his father. So I plan taking him back to america finally when he is one and for him to be able to start schooling there. My question now is, is it possible for me to apply for permanent residence with the status of my child as american citizen considering the fact that he cannot file for me at present until he turns 21. What is your take and advice ob this? Do I need to wait till he turns 21 or is there a way I can do this? Thank you for your honest answers.iA US citizen can only file an I-130 petition for his/her parents once he/she turns 21.There are no two ways about it.You would have to wait. |

Mr knowitall.:Having graduated with a degree in Chemical Eng from a Nigerian Uni,I ended up in the marketing dept of a bank.And when the opportunity to relocate to the US surfaced,some top notch bank officials advised against it,arguing that I was better off with my bank job,rather than relocate to the US,where they reckon immigrants are worse off.Of course I ignored them and made the move,and several years down the line,It turns out I made a fantasic decision. 3 Likes |

vozkini: Hello house, Greetings and happy sunday to you all.First,the US citizen will file a form I-130,Petition for an alien relative,with the USCIS.The siblings of a US CITIZEN fall under the Fourth Preference in the Family Preference Category,and Because Congress has set a limit on the number of relatives who can immigrate in a year,there is usually a waiting period before a visa number becomes available. Normally,siblings of a US CITIZEN have a waiting time of 10-15 years before a visa number becomes available.This waiting time is determined by 1.Your priority date ie The date a form I-130 was filed for that particular sibling.This holds his/her place in line for an immigrant visa 2.Your Prefence Category-Siblings of a US CITIZEN fall under the fourth preference category ,and the average waiting time is 10 years. 3.The Country your visa will be charged under Now, when a visa number becomes available(THE STATE DEPARTMENT controls visa numbers),the USCIS will forward your approved petition to the DEPARTMENT of State's National Visa Center,who will in turn contact you when your priority date is about to become current,and when to apply for a visa at a US consulate abroad.You may choose to visit the DOS'S site at www.travel.state.gov,and the USCIS'S site at www.uscis.gov |

tosmy :All airlines make their rules and regulations regarding pregnant women,but it is usually in the last month of pregnancy(36 weeks)that women are usually prohibited from flying.Specifically,many airlines will require a doctors note,once you reach 27 weeks(third trimester),while most airlines would require a medical certificate once you reach 32 weeks.Although some restrict at seven months,the vast majority restrict around 36 weeks.x |

vozkini: My brother had his interview today at usa embassy. The same mexicn chubby guy@window 3 denied him visa. I learnt he denies people visa anyhow. Without even looking at your ds-160 information or whtsoever. His interest in only on denying people visa at will. Bothe young and old. He even states that the policemen outside the embassy said that the guy is wicked and doesn't even has interest of giving visa to africans at heart. He was asked the following.Sorry about that,Trust me,the CO has to check out ones Ds 160 form before determining which questions are appropriate for a particular applicant.As a matter of fact,most of the info needed is in the form,but theres a reason for the interview.Sometimes,the CO plays a psychological game on you,and once you bungle it,its over.I think this applies to this Mexican guy and the Notorious Chinese lady.Actually,the State Department considers Nigeria a priority,and actually sends some of its best foreign officers to Nigeria,So,those guys at the post are very good.They do not need to ask loads of questions before adjudicating a case,and more often than not,they make correct decisions.But of course there are bad eggs in every organisation.He could choose to re apply if hes got strong ties.And as a rule no CO can interview you twice(having denied you previously),so he will have the chance to present his case to another CO. Better luck next time |
