For somebody that paid for Flexi Appointment and booked for next Thursday(3/08) but later got chance on Monday 31/07. Can the person go for biometric on Monday even when he's having Thursday reflecting on his bio page? I try amending it to Monday but seems it's not going back? Can I go to the TLS centre on Monday since I paid 44k for the Flexi appointment??

you should have paid for walk-in not flexi.

flexi has a date and not time; while walk-in does not have a date or time

Hi..thanks for your response. Reason I really want to know about the balance on day 1 was just to avoid a situation where they feel I started building my account. Even though I have a sponsor. Does the pattern of transactions in the account matter if I eventually have up to 2.5m but being sponsored by someone

am not so sure what they are checking ooo.

my funds even came in a week to the day i printed

luvhenry:


Happy for you. Pls can you confirm if you had to submit a 6 months statement with a host. How much was.their on day 0 and how much was there on month 6. I'm trying to gauge the consistency of balance

Thank you.

Yes i submitted my 6month statement.Didnot look at day 0 for the last day it was almost 2M.

Yes, I think I’d advise anyone to always make a digital copy of their visa pages once’s it’s granted, and the exit and entry stamps. I always do this and I can’t imagine a world where I can’t reference a visa I’ve gotten before because my passport is unavailable. Nah.

Thanks for this; I would also include the exist and entry stamps now

Sweetjam:


Ok thanks,I have a copy of the expired us visa but it has a cancelled without prejudice stamp on it.It was stamped when I tried to renew my visa .

Oh i copy them before renewal, maybe you can just download your US trvael history as adviced

beautyuche:
Hi, I just had a conversation with one of my manager who was denied her visa a second time two weeks ago. I told her something is definitely wrong somewhere. After I cross examined her I knew definitely why she was denied A SECOND time. A case similar to yours so let me help break this down so you don't have to go through what she is going through. for the records she has visited the USA more than 8 times before she had a child in the USA and after that she has been unable to renew her visa.

please Ma, can your help me review my case.

All my pregnancies(resulting to 4 children) were declared at VISA Pt and POE. i have been denied twice now

i need help

Sweetjam:
Good day everyone,I’m planning to apply for a uk tourist visa this month and a friend suggested that I apply for a Morocco sticker visa before applying for the uk visa cause it’s a virgin passport..I unfortunately lost my previous passports with several stamps of Dubai visa,an expired US visa which I used 3 times, expired South African visa .Will the uk visa officer see it as a desperate attempt to get the visa cause I don’t intend going to Morocco before I visit the Uk or should I apply for the Morocco visa n state it in my cover letter for uk that I will be going to Morocco after my holiday in the uk.
Note- I have limited funds.Pls advise

you can include the visa, not the passport, if you have copies of the visa

nonoonye:

Me: Good morning

VO: I can see you are going to Bowie state University for your masters degree in computer science is that right?

Me: I will come back and continue as a senior web developer.

Everything was going fine until the VO saw that my school is located in the same city where my sponsor lives��‍♂️��‍♂️��‍♂️
That has been the red flag in my profile but I ve been praying for miracle. I didn't have the information on time.

VO: Who is sponsoring you
Me: My brother Dr xyz will be sponsoring me. ( VO already saw his address in my DS-160 I guess)

VO: where does ur brother live
Me: I now knew I'm in trouble. He lives in xyz, He is a US citizen.

The U.S. Embassy in Abuja has reduced public operations effective Friday, July 16 through next week as a security precaution. The U.S. Embassy has strongly encouraged U.S. staff to limit non-essential personal travel in the Federal Capital Territory and private U.S. citizens are advised to do the same.

Summary: It seemed like a good day at the Embassy, I'm not particularly sure if people got approved or denied as I wasn't paying too much attention. But the VO seemed nice, and from the tone I was hearing over the speakers, they all sounded friendly enough to approve VISAs.

Thanks to everyone that shared their transcripts, God bless you.

Something sweet, wow! Congratulations to them.... The US addie stuff was up sometime last year I believe, and almost exhaustively discussed. Those on missionary journeys that are advised to read up when they ask questions can actually have that/such as added knowledge if they did as advised instead of getting worked up. This VO was quite liberal with info if one should attempt to gauge, commendations to him.... A key question I may want to ask is, what was the low birthing bill, and maybe the facility used too?

please where can i read up?

Hello Nairalanders, am planning to go. On another missionary journey.

I need help based on the following.
I have been to the US with my 1st child who was born in Nigeria, we went on vacation after which I had my 1st missionary baby. I notified the embassy by mail with the change by letter of intent.
During the last travel for the missionary journey, I went alone but my husband later joined me and we came home together with the zero balance letters. My 1st child has not travelled since the vacation and I really wish she goes on this one to boost her visa opportunities.

The issue is i am ready for another missionary baby, our visa were renewed via dropbox in 2016 but we were unable to travel on vacation and I have not notified the embassy of the change since I renewed via Dropbox. I intend to to write them a mail at the embassy stating change of intent, but this is solely based on your advise. Now am ready to go on vacation but am also pregnant. This time, am travelling with my kids while my husband joins us later. I will not be due till early march 2019 but since am having multiples and I have read that they come way earlier than the singles.

My problem is I will be travelling late November with my two kids 5 and 3 while my husband joins me later.
I got a ticket for a one month period because I was confused as to how long the period on the ticket should be. There's no one to keep my kids with while I will be away as I did during the last missionary journey. I intend to extend the period on the ticket, depending on when my babies come. I will be staying with a family member for the period of the journey.

The reason for my early travel in late November 2018
1. I intend to enjoy my vacation before the baby comes while am still strong.

2. The fear of the unknown as to when the babies will arrive.

3. Visas expires in June 2019 and we are yet to use it.
The story of entering the USA with a minimum of 6 month period before the visa expiration date.

Am worried as to what the CBP officers may ask

1. If the date on the ticket is too long- 3 -4 months period - why the kids are taken away for that long out of school.
2. If its too short e.g like a month period till late December. I may be asked why the short period on the ticket, since I am also birthing during the period.


Am so confused. I have made up my mind to say vacation only but what if am given a one month visa like they did to a francophone lady. I need your candid advise.


Kindly advise me on the next step to take as I have read all through but, no one has this same case as mine.

Am not ready to take the risk. Hence, my reason for being here.

Thanks NAIRALANDERS

i had multiples too, triplets the ticket i booked for 4months.

the VO at POE didnot have any issues with it. i landed in LA and the questions were not serious.

why you are here and how long.

i wish you all the best with the bills. please see everyone involved in the delivery.

demiiii:
Hello Nairalanders, am planning to go. On my 2nd missionary journey.

congratulations, safe delivery.
i went for my 2nd and last one this year , because i had triplets

DeeandGLady:
Hello All,
I feel a lot better now to talk about it so others can learn. My Visa was REVOKED recently on the day of my mums interview. If you recall my previous post, my mom was to have her interview although I wanted to change her interview date until am gone but there were no dates available before my delivery and I will be having a CS, so we prayed and trusted God that all will be fine with her interview, I even asked if ones visa could be revoked, Little did I know it would happen to me and things will turn out this way. I really can’t type the whole transcript of what happened, I might take almost 4 Pages here if I do that besides am saving my energy for child birth.

I tried to reapply after the VO revoked my visa cos her last words were Madam you can reapply, go and reapply, I have written it here that you can reapply, but to my greatest surprise I found myself In front of the same VO who revoked my visa on the day of my interview (Yes oo same VO) and her problem was how did I get an interview date, (note this was about a month difference in date from my moms interview) she said they are fully booked and waiting period is 4 months so how did I get date, una see me see Wahala ba infact if you know how that day also went you will cry for me and this baby, the things our eyes have seen and ears heard. But in all am thankful to God and I find Peace staying back to have my baby here, as I don’t know God’s will and plans for me and this baby but to wait on his will. In God’s hands lies our destiny no one can change that fact. Try do your best and leave the rest to God.

Please note, I have been to the US several times and I have never committed any crime Ooo I had also written to the embassy of my plans and got a reply from them (check my previous post) Before my mums interview.
I renewed my visa when I was not pregnant via interview cos my previous visa wasn’t issued in Nigeria so I didn’t qualify for drop box, My first baby was born in US, I paid all my bills and have all receipts , itemized bill and Zero balance letters, so I came clean in everything guys.
I had way above 20k dols for the trip in my statement.

I was invited in for questioning on the day of my mums interview after I dropped her off, she had already been given the white paper and asked to come and call me I don’t know who that VO went to consult that changed everything by the time I got in, while I was with her she kept going in an coming out, infact make I stop here, I don’t want to break down again, am putting the past behind me.

My Advice:
Stay away from cheap hospitals, HNWMC has a red flag with US VO, the miracle moment package given to self pay patients has something to do with insurance, read in between the lines on the document usually sent. They have a list of hospitals with red flag.

Make sure you have your Nigeria address on your child/Children’s birth certificates.

If you did not get your visa for birthing, send your letter of intent quietly, carry your self go US go born your pikin. Am reading about one sister trying to apply for her sister Biko sister hold on. Ladies once you have your visa, I beg manage your husband will be fine, go born come home, don’t complicate issues cos theses people are making things difficult for Nigerians these days. I forgot to mention that in September they passed a document that will make it difficult for Nigerian to get US visa, wish I can screenshot and post here so please let’s be careful.

After your birthing experience, before another missionary journey try travel elsewhere so you have good travel history.

Never stop saying the truth, Prepare well and Pray very well before your interview, so your village people go miss road, dey no go find you reach US embassy gate

Ehen ooo those going to have baby or those who are planning to come back and can help a sister with about 3-5kg of some very important items please indicate or PM me God go bless you for me

Sorry for the long post so you see that if I have to type the whole transcript part 1 and 2 some people will beat me here

Thanks for sharing.

God's Grace is upon your home

DeeandGLady:
Congrats dear God favor and grace was yours, honestly I think male VO’s are just the best honestly they are so so patient. Am due early next year, I wish I have faith like you to keep trying but I have been heart broken about this issue and I just want to heal.

God would go before you, if you decide to re-apply and the visa process is psychology
