Your comments are noted and appreciated too. But let me shed more light on some.

I have been working in Financial industry for seventeen years without any travel history not even Ghana here.

I felt very bad after missed opportunity to travel for training being sponsored by my company when my B1 visa was rejected in January. Someone two levels below me in my department was latter selected because of travel history issue and I had none. I decided to make travel a project this year since I have a good job and investment.

I study UK thread and applied for UK in March. I applied for only my wife, our last born and I because am not sure that I will be issued the visa so that I won't waste visa fee for six. (The accountant in me and ijebu man). I also want them to serve as part of my tie.

Yes, I applied for the US before leaving for the UK because the date was running fast and I want all my family to travel during the Summer. Interview date as at March 2018 was July.

Thanks.

I feel you Bro.

The timing was not favourable , i feel as a professional with that lenght of career years its is somehow expected that you should have some sort of international exposure.

You started at the wrong time, moreso this era where bankers and oil workers alike are emigratin emasse; these 2 were the labour sectors that was really striving as such procuring visas was a walk through for those categories of applicants. Now for the case you have presented, the vo was left with no other choice than to think that the intents was not as presented due to recent unfolding immigration events (just my thoughts)

Thanks for your comments.

My wife just told me now that the Vo asked about " purpose of travelling to the UK " and she answered for family vacation"

The timing might probably be an issue as stated here.

Very wrong response. Now its clearer why they were refused. Am sure the vo didn't see any uk visa affixed on the children passports. Beside how can she state family vac whereas the child were back home?

Thanks Madam G.

Am thinking of applying for UK for the kids too since we the parents visas are still valid. Or do France for all. Thanks

Good idea if you really want to take them on vac as you have the financial means. Do that fast as vac time will soon run out considering the visa processing time it may take to get a response a you never can tell and ensure they travel this year to the uk in order to clear the VOs doubt about your family vac intends (as you never can tell what the vo may have noted).

So that by the time you are going for your USA visa next year it will be clear that you are not one of those well off visa holder who have immigration intents

Good evening good people here,

My wife and kids B1/B2 visa was denied yesterday. Dear wife, our last born and I have visited Turkey and UK while all the family have visited republic of Benin before. We are a silent reader of this great forum.

Below is her transcript.

Dw.Good morning with a smile

Vo. good morning to you

Vo.why are you going to the us

Dw..we will like to spend part of our long summer break sightseeing and exploring interesting places like Disneyland, legoland, knottsberry farm and SeaWorld

Vo.av u travel out of Africa b4 within the last two years

DW.yes,av been to UK ,turkey and republic of benin

Vo.How much do you earn

DW.I earn 252,000 from my paid employment job. We also have a thriving family business which gives us at about 300k monthly and a landed property which gives us at about 3m per annum

Vo. (checking all our passport) when did you travel to the UK

DW.we travel on may 3rd

Vo.which year

DW.this year 2018

Vo.who sponsor the trip

DW.my husband and I

Vo.why does your children not travel with u

DW. Because the school were in section....they can only travel when they have summer break

Vo.how many children do u have

DW. , I looked at my back maybe they are not there again I now mention 4

Vo.who took care of your children when you travel

DW.my mum did

Vo.sorry you did not meet the requirements

DW.thank you.

We thank God that we did our application ourselves from invaluable knowledge we got from this forum, we saw some people that use agent that were denied too after paying agent 500k.

Please keep up the good work here and help us to analyze this transcript. We wish to reapply next year probably against Easter.


I feel the VO was not convinced that you're travelling for the purposes stated considering the fact that you just made a trip few months back and putting the present economic factor of nig vis a vis the financial implications for the trip (family of 5) into considerat ion, the VO is just not convinced.

Right now the potential immigrants are the well to do, and they have proven the VOs right and it's costing genuine applicants their visas.

Like you mentioned try again by easter or during children hols but if am to advise if am privy of your travel history I wud have discouraged you to apply wen you did initially. I wud have suggested appling next year instead so it will be obvious that it's a yearly family vac.

All the best next try

@ the bolded, still not true sir. The expiration date of a US visa is the last date by which you are allowed into the US with that particular visa. Your duration of stay is determined by the CBP officer at the POE. You could only run into problems if you overstay your duration as indicated on the Admission stamp at the POE.


Point of correction at the bolded. The expiration date of a US visa (I like the way u specified becos countries differ) is NOT the date by which you are allowed into the USA with that particular visa but rather It specifies the date you are required to present yourself at the POE to be admitted or not by the CBP officer..

This almost happen to my colleague, the V.O was going crazy over her... she almost gave him her number because she's single.. grin

That is not a problem, the vo can always get her number without her giving him, if he is into her and really needs her number.

The only hitch there is that your colleague may not be able to get his if she is the one who is interested in him. Me I have learned to ask if I need grin

Will help out here.... Even if you arrive at the front of a CBP Officer a day to the expiration of your visa, it's not illegal. Just have a reasonable purpose of visit. Our sister that asked this question here today actually wants to go birth in the US.

My take on this in the light of recent happenings is that if she has previously used the visa for the purpose for which it was issued, she


Spot on!

Our Hanty wud have stated clearly her intents instea of causing 2 fighting here.

Now I will tell you a personal story. Many years ago, my colleague once presented herself at the usa POE when she wanted to birth one of her baby, she was stamped in; hoping that it will be business as usual but unfortunately she didn't check until like the 3rd month after only to discover that she was stamped for just 1 month. THe cdp officer knew she was there for child birth but my colleague booked a 1 month return ticket with the intention to change date when she has a conclusive date.

So pls help us tell Hanty to always state it clearly the way it is so that the appropriate feedback will be transmitted.

thanks alot for ur response. @seyewest i lack words for u . i leave u with ur opinion and ur false conclusion.

Hey! This uncalled for.

It's actually illegal to stay beyond visa expiration based on normal immigration standard just that the usic and the cic have some immigration exceptions that differs from other countries that's why you just have to always check. Mind you immigration rules are not static it's very dynamic just as humanity is.

So my dear kool temper am sure seyewest responded based on standard requirement.

Fyorgyn:


I have put up a link to debunk that.

It really is NOT illegal to stay on an expired visa as long as you are within the time stamped at the POE. What is illegal is if you stay beyond the time stamped at POE even with a VALID VISA.

As for renewal... A lot of people I know have renewed before expiration and have gotten their visas without much ado. For instance, if I have a conference to attend every August and my visa expires in August, I will begin renewal in June or July to account for any unexpected delays.

You are so right. People have travelled this way severally. In fact I've landed USA the very day my visa expired and you know what the cbp officer said..."giiiirl you so smart" and we both had a good laugh, I was stamped in 6 months even though I only stayed for few days like about 14 or 16days can't Remember.

As for renewal, I've renewed more than twice without issues though I haven't renewed before my visa expiration. .....don't have reasons to allow my visa run while I don't have reasons to travel yet

Although this is not recommended for some countries as in staying beyond visa validity. So you may need to check with the country's visa terms and conditions

Hello everyone. I have been following this thread since my hubby mentioned visiting Canada,( it was never on my list of tourist countries)lol. Anyways I have read this thread from Part 1 to Part 2 in the last 2 months. I am about to start my application process and i will like to ask a few questions and they are as follows
1. Do i open one application form for my husband and I or separate forms? you will create one profile for both of you however separate from has to be complete and uploaded accordingly as the profile will separate the application portal
2. If yes, to same application form; do we both need different letters of purpose of travel/itinerary breakdown? No you will complete separate forms and you don't need separate letter all u can do is both of you can sign a single letter
3. Can my "Letter OF Introduction" by self also entail my purpose of travel and Itinerary breakdown or each letter should stand alone? Yes you can just give each subject it's heading
4. Do I write a separate letter explaining my bank statement in a situation where one is involve in Thrift aka Ajo?Not necessarily you can just explain as a paragraph in the letter

Thank you very much.

i asked this earlier 2weeks ago no one replied me.
