Nairalanders. Please advice and help me. I have been a silent reader for a while before I opened an account.

After getting admission to Indiana state university terre haute, I have appeared for visa interview twice. I have been to Ghana by road in 2015 via God is good motors with my voters card cos I didn't have an international passport as at then.

My first visa interview was in September 20 at Lagos.

V.O : pass your passport and i20 which I did. Then he asked why I'm going to the US.

Me: to study for my MBA at Indiana state university

V.o: who is sponsoring your program?

ME: I have a personal savings, my parents will also be supporting me.

V.O: asked for statement,

Me: passed it to him

V. O: have you travelled out of the country before?

Me: yes.

V.O: "flipping through my virgin passport." to where?

Me: to Ghana, by road using my voters card because I haven't gotten my international passport as at then and I enquired from the transport company about using my voters card and they confirmed I can.

V. O: passed blue paper.

My second interview was yesterday. Also went smooth until travelling history was asked and I told them the same thing and was still denied.

I didn't want to lie and that is why I told the vo that I have travelled to Ghana before. But since there isn't any stamp on my passport to verify that, I don't know if the embassy have blacklisted me.

I'm thinking of saying I haven't travelled before in my next application but I thought of inconsistency.

I'm also thinking of visiting Ghana this weekend so as to get stamp. But I'm thinking it will raise a red flag.

Please is there any solution to my problem?, I'm scared of reapplying again.
