slightlyMad:


Please what higher tie do you need to show when they have clearly shown that they intend to migrate via their petition?
your ties becomes weak since you plan to leave these ties anyways as proven by submitting a petition

remember that once someone with a pending petition enters the US, they can just work illegally and adjust status when their PD becomes current, a smart way to outsmart immigration law and an abuse of the visit visa.

Tmeeto has confirmed this and nupital will in a few days.
There may be exceptions though, if you have an history of using previous visas rightly, i will guess you may get it because you have a good reputation already
I am glad Tmeeto saw the good side of it all.


Assuming Mrs Ambode ( wife of Gov) sibling filled immigration petition for her, assuming she has not even visited US b4 and she had even in the past refused visit visa because of the petition on ground. now that she is the wife of the gov. do you think she ll still be refused visit visa now because of the ongoing petition? Absolutely no.

my point, if you have a powerful tie to Nigeria, like securing a senior manager position in a big coy, you ll not be refused visa because you have a petition. Your present economic status shows that you ll not stay illegally talking based on balance of probabilies!

Good day to you all, i am a student and also a working class man, i work as an accountant and also the personal Assistant to the medical Director,i am in my late 20's i want to apply for a visiting visa, am actually going for my cousin's wedding so hes inviting me, what are the documents i might likly need? Cos in the invitation letter i told him to write my hospital will be sponsoring me. I hope that is okay? And also do i need my salary statement since i said it the hospital that will be sponsoring me. My passport is a virgin passport. The wedding invitation card is out and i also told him to attach it with the invitation letter. The wedding is stated bfor September 2016.What are my chances of getting the visa. Hope to get a reply soon. Thanks

seyewest:
You're free to apply to visit U.S it is up to you and V.O to decide if you're eligible or not.
fill your form correctly and go for the interview... Hopefully it will be successful but no one except the V.O can guarantee you a U.S Visit visa

tmeeto:


I think its prolly because i have an immigrant application pending. Is all good tho

geojoe91:


Thank you, boss.
How about travelling to countries like Kenya, Dubai and South Africa then probably France. Coz I will be going to France soon with my cousin for this year euro 2016. Or is it a must I must travel to UK before I can be qualified for USA?

pclevercheta:
Oh thanks kennyCanny and all, that could be my mistake, the change was made after she had booked appointment for June 1st.it was retrieved, corrected and resubmitted but retained earlier appointment date, i dont know how he did it but the Code changed on the new printout. What do you think?
Again, i thank God for this forum. I have been wondering why i did not search for info b4 now. We wouldn't have spent all the money the said agent collected to make this mess. I now know better, "Best things in life are for free".

pclevercheta:
Thanks but it seems you did not understand me. If u check, i joined this forum yesterday. how did i get 2 know about the forum? as soon as she called that she was denied as she explained. i went to the web to check for info via FAQ, i also checked visa Agent info with the hope of getting a better and experienced agent. It was the advice i read from there that some agents can mislead and the info there that VOs answer some questions on nairaland that led me to this forum. i joined and read your comments,then suspected what i posted.

I wonder why you think i am lying on this forum when i am seeking for help and info,there is no need for that. I stated that she had her form completed earlier by an agent who felt he should add a "Better" job different from what she is doing. He did but by the time she came back and told me i was not comfortable with that cos i dont know how she was going to defend it. I requested a retrieval and that was what i had the agent do to change to her real job to make it easier for defense. sorry for the lengthy write up just to explain. Note: this is her first attempt. like to have more info on this pls.
Be blessed.

In my opinion, if you are married in 9ja or over 21 years, with siblings who are USC or LPR you no longer qualify to be sponsored by your sibling aka 4th Preference.

Sometimes it takes up to 12 years sef before it can get approved so VO's don't usually see y'all as an immigration risk because you can't get immigrant visa via that route, especially from places like Nigeria where there is a high demand for IVs

@LagosNIV pls correct me if I'm wrong. It's the impression I have always had.

slightlyMad:


immediate relatives are brothers, sisters, father, mother who are permanent residents or citizens.
if you fill them on the ds-160, you wont.
maybe they have gotten it in the past and used it well, they may get it again on account of the integrity they have built
but apply now in 2016
To them, your immediate relative could file and once approved, you could adjust status, forget ties.
i wont argue much on this, wait for those 2 applicants i quoted

desireeclarke:
Thanks everyone. Points well noted.

cookiejar99:

Pwhitelaw:
I really appreciate your efforts and various comment to different question. I just applied for a visiting visa and my interview will be coming up next month. Am a newbie and I want to know if travelling experience is a must to get my visa approved. My friends keeps saying I should travel to dubai to disvirgin my passport but I don't have enough money for that. I have all the documents to back my claims and the invitation letter. Thanks

olujastro:
It seems not so many peeps on this forum were admitted to Norway Unis this year. Just very few people talk about challenges encountered in funds transfer, visa application, flight booking, etc.

purpleblood:


1. Course fee is refundable, so if I don't get visa I will get 90% of the money back. The only risk is the $100 visa application fee. It's worth giving a trial. I don't have a travel experience. This is my opportunity to get 1. I don't intend to stay illegal in the US. I have plans of coming back after my course and conversion of my license. It shouldn't take more than 1 month if I plan it well. If I can achieve this I will be very glad coming back because it means that I can apply for jobs outside nigeria. Lots of openings in middle-east.
2. With the current economic situation in Nigeria, I don't think hustling is my best bet. I can loose 1.5million, and start all over again.
3. I'm sure I will get more money from family and relatives if I secure visa. Just that for now, they are still skeptical about my ability to secure a visa with the plan.

LadyGuinivere:

I told him to acknowledge his misrepresentation when reapplying so I didn't advice/believe he shouldn't reapply. My only grouse with your post was with the reference to the old passport. Kinda implying a possibility of them not figuring out its the same fella. Such innundoes can make folks not to see the error in continuing with the former lie. Peace !

LadyGuinivere:


If inconsistencies exist, the person's credibilty has been damaged and it is not a 'sure thing'.

brighter2moro:
Hello house,i applied for USA visit visa in 2005 thru an agent but was refused visa.

Now am married with kids and my inlaw in USA is trying to send me an IV, although when I used the agent in 2005,all docs was forged so my fear now is Will the info I used in 2005 still be in their Database or System?

2. How about if I decide to travel to any other country,then apply for USA visa frm there,will they still have my information of 2005 application in Nigeria?
Thanks

Goodmorning all. Welldone LadyG. Please, is there any lawyer that is planning to attend IBA conference?
Does anyone know how many months visa is issued for conference?
This year's conference is BTW 18-23 September, about a week. Does US issue the normal 2year visa for conferences or just to cover the duration? Thank you.

Kbuddie:
You can also call the Embassy on 014406218 they ask for d passport Number and ask a few details of the person. They will change it @ their end and send u a mail showing the new DS number. You can also reprint the appointment from your profile once u get the mail. (however, u must listen very well to hear what they are saying on the phone. I had to keep saying pardon, can u repeat that again)

LadyGuinivere:

Check the ist page of the thread or check the embassy website.

No. You will only get a treated email

Nicesoul:


Send them an email. You will need to include the following documents:

1. Scanned copy of biodata of your international passport
2. Scanned copy of visa fee receipt
3. Scanned copy of old/new ds160 form

Hope it helps.

Hello LadyG, please I am currently filling my DS-160 form online, I have gotten to the stage where it is asking if I have made specific travel plans. Meanwhile I have not made any travel plan. Could there be any implication if I say No? Please guide me, thanks.
