Travel › Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by llcn1422: 4:17pm On May 05, 2019

Good afternoon everyone. I was denied an American Visa middle of last year. I have been to Spain and Italy since then. I spent three weeks in all during the visit. My social and financial ties are OK. Married with kids and employed with a good job.
I wanted to know if visiting these countries and returning on time would pass for a GOOD travel history during my next interview.

talk2dekky:
Visa approved today. I have been a silent follower and this forum actually helped put me through all the steps needed.

Appointment was for 6.30am I was 8 in line but second to be interviewed by the white guy in window 3. The lady before me who was a Medical Doctor going for MPH also got her student visa approved. Every other window I observed were busy dishing out blue papers mostly to students.

I noticed the VO that interviewed me took his time interviewing the lady with student visa before approving her unlike others.

My transcript

VO: Why are you going to the US
Me: I am going for the initial convening of the Atlantic Fellows for Health Equity program.

VO: Tell me about this fellowship
Me: It's a non residential fellowship for a year with 3 physical convenings in Us and Rwanda. It trains global leaders and professionals working in diverse areas to foster health equity.

VO: How would this benefit you?
Me: I work for an organization that provides free oral healthcare to the less privileged. This will enable me learn from leaders in health equity how to build a more sustainable health organization, the mentoring and online courses is also an added advantage since it will put me through organizing different community projects.

VO: This organization you work for provides only free dental care. (He didn't ask for the name)
Me: Yes, I am a Dentist

VO: And you founded this organization
Me: Yes I did

VO: Kept typing for a long time, I guess he was searching for my organization. He apologized for taking too long that the system was loading.
Me: No problem

VO: Have you been outside Nigeria before?
Me: Yes, I had my degree in Ukraine, went to Slovakia in 2009, Uk 2012, Ghana 2016

VO: What were you doing in Slovakia?
Me: Clinical elective/rotation

VO: Uk?
Me: Visiting family

VO: Ok, your visa has been approved.....
Me: Thanks

He didn't ask if I was married or had children, also didn't ask how much I earned and all. No documents were requested.

Thanks everyone.

Hello Dekky. I'm a Doctor too. Medical Doctor. Schooled I'm the same country as you and am currently practicing in Nigeria. I have been practicing for over a year. I have been to Ghana too. I am married with a kid. Earn well. I intend to spend a part of my leave in America. Applying alone. How do you fancy my chances? Any tips for me?

[quote author=talk2dekky post=74453957]Maybe, Maybe not.

He didn't ask for my previous passports even though I took them. I guess he just believed what I said.

[hello]

[Thank you very much for your response. quote author=oluwa234 post=74055449]

What is your purpose? Tourism or business?
Do you have ties to convince the VO that you will return? Marriage? nature of your job? Vs having 1st degree relatives in the US.
Do you have a travel history? Preferably to a first world country.
These are the questions you need to ask yourself. But above all, rhe decision still lies with the VO.[/quote]

Good day everyone. I want to visit America genuinely as a visitor. I am a Medical Doctor. Does my profession weigh in my favor? Is this an advantage for me in the eyes of the consular? I know that no one knows the answer for sure but I need opinions.
