How soon you reapply depends on you. They recommend 180days wait but hey its all about that composure they exude and how important the trip means to you and them

Ok. Thanks

AfonjaBoston:
Most likely that CO thought they had immigrant intent.
Let them retry lagos this time around lay emphasis on visiting U.S. and what exactly they will be doing with less focus on you.
If you have been to Nigeria recently and sponsoring also helps if they say that .

The irony is they issue visit visas to senior citizens who are retired than those working. Hmmmm doesnt make sense lol. My grandma used this process to visit last year

She did not have to talk much. I paid for the ticket she said that during the interview and also said it was a birthday gift from me to her.

The Interview was less than 5 mins. The over 90 years old lady could not wait to go back lol she said our egusi soup taste and smells like fresh wood

Lol @ egusi soup.
Thanks I appreciate your feedback. I was in Nigeria last year, so hopefully that will count. They can reapply this year right?

AfonjaBoston:
@ Ifykelly Do you have kids?
Are you a citizen yet? Why don't you petition for them when the ban is lifted?

I did for my parents snd they are not even staying here ( too old school to live overseas)

If you are in the south the processing time is just barely over a year now

You might wanna have them reapply in Lagos. What exactly will they ve doing during the visit?

I have just one kid. I am a permanent resident. Even if I am a citizen, my parents dont want to live here, they just like the idea of visiting. Like your parents, they are too old to live here, invested a lot of their time in Nigeria.
Its lagos better, they plan to just visit for two weeks.

Hi, I need your suggestions on this. My parents was denied B1/B2 visa to visit me. The interview was at Abuja last week. The consulate asked them 1) their occupation, my dad is a senior lecturer at the university and my mum a nurse at teaching hospital.
2) about their other children location? They are all in Nigeria.
3) About me and how long I have been in the us? They answered two years and I travelled through immigrant visa.
Then she still denied them visa, I am just confused so much cos they have a reputable income, good jobs and children in Nigeria. I just wonder what other ties they need. They had documents to show landed properties too but the VO didn't ask for any supporting documents.
I just want them to visit that's all.
I need suggestions on how to go about it for their next application.
