A trip to Dubai this June/July ... UK in January and U.S visa by June will do the trick... it may take time but it will work.

time ,bro,time is a luxury I can't afford.

RefKing:

That Skimmy lady @ window4 again? Hmmm

encountered her before? The girl's got no joy.She ignored our greetings,you know.

seyewest:


Travel history=weak
Traveling with all your family for the first time=weak

Really!quite a lot of families have been issued Visas with zero,i mean zero travel history.

NothingDoMe:
Is your wife pregnant?

Not all. The child wanted to see the VO's face.

seyewest:


it does not matter... she denied them on weak ties.

Weak ties?How?

LadyGuinivere:
@greenarchitect

Bros. Your application and refusal is paining me o! It is my opinion that you were just a victim of the bad PR we have created for ourselves. Lotsa "well to do " Nigerians taking backyard routes to Canada and seeking asylum. And here you are with your whole ties...

With your every thing if you had applied last year, then for give you.

Try going to UK or France. Or if you and madam can make the World Cup ( when is it sef?! Abi they don't play am finish )
Then reapply after a spell

I Ve reapplied again and I Ve got a date in August 2018. I didn't know the naija Canada palaver has gotten to the hilt.I sincerely thought people were making a mountain out of a molehill.My schedule is free between now and September after which traveling would be a long shot.Should I go ahead in August or should I not?

seyewest:


She was looking for that Ghanaian trip in your bank statement.. like if you withdrew money in Ghana or pay for plane ticket through your account number nevertheless.... If you really want me to advice you I will suggest you travel with your family to Dubai (They have something like Disneyland).
Your travel history is very weak and you should start working on it.
Goodluck

I had a hunch that might have been what she was looking out for in my bank statement but it would be improper to come to a conclusion by relying solely on my personal bank statement.The Ghana trip was funded from the company account and I didn't see it fit to go to the interview with the company statement of account since the intended trip was going to be privately funded.Kindly send me a link to the Disneyland in Dubai let me see if I can get my wife to buy in.Thanks.

I have always promised my wife an unforgettable vacation right from when we were dating and we've done quite a lot locally.In 2013,we planned a South Africa trip that got cancelled last minute by me and a Dubai trip that was also cancelled due to my tight work schedule.So I promised her and the kids that 2018,it was going to be Disney.We scheduled the interview for April,secured a date and
off we went to Lagos.Here is our transcript (window 4)
Wife and I - Good morning
VO - No response
Me - (in my heart) ah ah oh girl,I'm greeting you na.
VO - passports please
Me - hands over the passports
(There was a situation with my kids.My 1 yr old was fast asleep on my shoulders,my wife placed my four yr old on to deck in front of the VO and my 5yr old wanted same treatment.He kept interrupting the mom with this demand as she was answering the VO's questions.)
VO - Where in the US are you going to?
Wife and I - Orlando,Florida
VO - Have you travelled before?
Me - As family,no but I have been to Ghana.(the trip was work related)
VO - What do you do for work?

Me - Explain in detail all three(3) projects.
VO - How many staff members do you have?
Me - 19
(She types again)
VO - (turns to my wife) Ma'am,what do you do for work?
Wife - I work with xxxxx state government as senior registrar(wife goes on to elaborate on her duties)
VO - How long have you worked there?
Wife - 9 yrs
VO- (moves back to me)Do you have any relatives in the US?
Me - Yes a relative I haven't heard from in 20yrs.
VO- Where is your relative residing in the US?
Me - Right now,i don't know.
VO- Where Will you be staying in the US?
Me - Walt Disney world dolphin resort(I had reservation booked and printed.She didn't ask)
VO - You said you studied Architecture?
Me - Yes.
VO - Where?

Me - 19.Nine(9) in the head office and 10 at the outstations.
VO - Where is the head office?
Me - told her
(She types again)
VO - do you have any bank statement showing you can sponsor this trip?
Me - hands over my bank statement(account balance a little over N11m)
VO - scrutinizes my bank statement page by page.I mean real scrutiny .She then puts it aside.
VO -When did you travel to Ghana?
Me - March 9-11
VO - picks up our passports,arrange and rearranges them (as if contemplating and debating within her).Kept shuffling the passports and flipping through them casually.Picks up my bank statement again and resume scrutiny as if looking for something.Nods her head twice and starts typing.
VO - Thank you for this information but I ll be refusing your application as we find you ineligible at the moment.You may reapply if you feel your circumstances have changed.
Returns our passports with the blue paper and my bank statement.
Me - (In my heart)Jesu!! After all this grilling.

My wife was disappointed.She suggested we reapply immediately for another interview.She feels the interview went well , that the VO wasn't friendly and was fishing for reasons to refuse our application.We have applied again and secured a date for last week in August and sincerely I'm not keen anymore but my wife and kids want this Disney experience like oxygen itself.

What could possibly have gone wrong?
