Three F1 refusals is a lot especially in such a short period of time, I'm assuming between 2018 (which was when your B1 was renewed) and 2019/2020. Basically it was back to back to back refusals. Not a good look but some VOs don't really care about a previous denial which was what happened in my case. Was denied b2 in 2015 was granted f1 in 2016.

You also have a pending immigration petition which may not help your "I'm not trying to run away" argument. It may or may not be brought up. In my case my petition wasn't brought up during my interview but it could've been because we cancelled it and a lot of years had passed, I was a minor when it was filed, almost 10 years had passed.

That you have a daughter here might help. Your previous travel history may help too, since you didn't overstay or contravene the terms of your visa. Your employment in said leading company and your start-up too.

What might not help is this back to back to back to back applications you have going on 2018 - 2021. Sheesh.

Well, you’re right. I appreciate the feedback. If dem no gree make I visit my loved ones I go renew my internet for one year and see them on video call then. At least that one join too. I no get time to waste this year.

At first when you applied for a B1 Visa
You were granted based on your reasons for the trip which is "visit" ...

You renewed your visa on same reason
You were granted

Shortly after you were granted your renewal, you reported back to the embassy to apply for a student visa...

That's a red flag

It doesn't work that way
You were granted B1 for a reason which is
I'm not going for work, study or business but only visit

Why the sudden change
Why I apply for a studies visa when you have a fresh B1 Visa based on "I'm not traveling for work, school, or business"

I hope you find lucky..

Well, you’re right.

But the actual situation was...I applied for my Dropbox renewal on August(hoping to visit for a 2 week holiday in Dec), but due to the change in Dropbox processing I was requested to appear for interview about 8 weeks after my application.

Few days before the scheduled interview date for B1, I received an admission decision from the institution I applied to several months back.

At that point I became confused on how to go about it cos I cannot travel with a B1 when the new information means I might proceed to study, and I cannot apply for an F1 when I have a pending B1 interview.

So the right thing(I thought) would be to appear for my B1 interview and apply for F1 separately. I mean, anyone would have though that’s the right thing to do as long as your intentions are not to breach the conditions of your visas in any way.

Well I noted that “visiting” as a reason is not convincing enough for a B1 visa based on my situation, but one thing I’m damn sure about is that I am not ready to lie to anyone for a visa. Asides visiting my sick mum and my fiancée (maybe my siblings too) I am not sure that USA has any other use for me right now.

I quite appreciate your response @BigDawsNet

Why was your F visa denied? The two times you went to the US how long did you spend? Having a pending immigrant petition makes it very difficult to get a non immigrant visa, but it can happen though but not common. You should look for a better reason to visit the US, going to visit a fiancee won’t hold much water because you can easily stay back and get married to her and become a resident. To qualify for a non immigrant visa you have to prove to the Visa officer that you no plans of living in the US.

I spent 4 weeks on each. 2016 and 2017.

F1 was denied based on 214b. I strongly believe it’s on the basis of “dual intent” because I applied for F1 just after I renewed B1 for a Christmas holiday in USA.

Asides my company, I am also employed as systems integration and design manager in a leading telecom firm here in Nigeria. And also have a daughter I live with. Been to the USA twice and never overstayed my visa or even get tempted to.

Are you saying that these may not outweigh the VOs presumption that I’m an intending immigrant?

Hello Gurus,

Please I need your guide on this situation:

I’ve been to then US twice. Got my visa renewed in Oct 2018.

Got notified on an admission fee weeks later so I applied for F1 but was denied.

And the B1 was revoked also(possibly due to dual intent)

I tried twice more for F1 but got refused. I was upset which made my mum file an immigrant petition for me so to allow me visit anytime without the visa hassles(I sincerely have zero intent of immigrating cos I’m gainfully employed and also own an IT startup that’s doing well here, basically wanted to go for additional studies then)

Now, I want t re-apply for a B1 to visit my fiancée and I want to know if the F1 refusals and the petition will count against me? And how can I deal with this if it will?

I just want to visit my fiancée who’s a student. That’s all. Your information will be appreciated via I don’t want to waste my busy time .

babe LA smart,you should have been smarter by changing location and stylishly cut off from his friends immediately everything turned game in order not to be able to get anything back hmmm men sha

women Shii....akpa amu!

African men are very cheap! Uncouth and unpleasant creatures, that is what our men are.

African men? Shey brain de pain you?

I personally decided to marry an older lady because i am tired of the foolishness of most young Nigerian women. They don't seem to understand that most focused young men do not have time for crap and will prefer a life with someone's whose life direction is defined and clear.

After carefully reading your claims, i took a long hard look at your eyes....and i came to the conclusion that you're a very talented and gifted attention-seeker!

I am also positive that IF any unfortunate producer sought for sex from you, you would have given him sexes instead!

You think you're writing for fools...one little thing you people will claim sexual harrassment.

Do you thinbk that SEX is the only thing a man thinks of 247? So brainless...

If she's your sister what would you do?

Advise her to remain in marriage with a man who is gay?

D you understaand that this is a permanent problem with no end?

Do you think his sexuality will change eventually?

For your information, this is no marriage and I hate maltreating a womans feeling in such a gruesome manner. Cut her loose and let her go. I will BOMB that marriage if i have one slight evidence to. If you cannot, please share the message with me and tell the wife to contact me - I will glad share the message with her and represent you in hell if thats the price i will pay for saving an innocent woman from the hands of a fool in the name of marriage.

I dont understand what women marry these days!!

I hate this girl with all my heart!

Mad people full this school o

Since this scammer prints money by speaking in tongues, then why does his flock still give offerings and tithes?

You people moved from being friends to her telling her fiancée(your friend) that you raped her?

As far as I am concerned, she wasn’t the one that initiated the sex.

I know women, a woman whose your friends fiancée cannot be so Hot she’s dragging your boxers with you.

I have lived with a woman, my friends friend in same condition for over a year and I can’t remember her entering my room to sit let alone sex.

All these rubbish posts and most comments are from the same people Tinubu hired to help him regain Toll Gate. Let’s see how una wan reopen till gate. This time una offices and homes go join!

I don’t like the way most of them dance like mad people in church!

Plus unnecessary screams in the name of praises!

I’m catholic for life!

They don’t need a Fulani tribesman to spy on you, they will use your own people. Because most of you can’t be trusted at all.

This girl is short like akoodo - pestle

Divorce her. She married you out of pity. Period!

Then why does she wanna get married in the first place?

I don’t understand women wallahi!

In her mind now

“My customers we don open for the year o”

Small girl with big god!!

A married woman went to spend two whole weeks in hotel in the name of advertising for the hotel, eerhkwa?

And same married woman came on social media to state that his fully married husband cannot claim to be feeding her since they married? Even publicly added that the dude is owing her?

She said that she does not want her own husband to know anything about that her spiritual side??

Does conductor business for Odumeje and collect her percentage too? And that’s her career??

Was even speaking publicly about showing someone what “ometere buru” is...that’s black magic!!!

Does not believe that indecent chats or other forms of indecent engagements with any other man is cheating even if it’s not sex on the bed?

...these are signs of end time wives!!

No it’s not.

The same way him giving you money or taking care of your needs is not necessary too!

Anu mpama!

Both of you are crazy for accessing each other’s WhatsApp messages.

Here is my advice..:

Love her, forgive her genuinely. And bring her back. Discuss with her not argue, find out why she does what she does, solve it if possible, protect her and pray with her. God will be with you then and heal your land.

Bring your home together, these experiences of yours are painful but also think about the children before you fire any billet.

I made the mistake of being too unforgiving on my daughters mum, today my daughter is growing into a very wise and gifted woman whom I love with my life...and it’s hurting her that her both loved parents are living apart. And can never be together again as we are both married.

And one question I fear to answer from her in the future is...what sin was that deep that I could not forgive her mom?

And the truth is...NONE. Just as yours...mine is same but more serious.

Learn from my experience, if you love yourself. Fix it, don’t fight it, don’t quit.

Quietly shut the door for them to continue...

Then head straight to church for thanksgiving!

Because you must be a wizard to catch these ladies red handed.

And If you mistakenly catch them, then it’s a sign that God truly loves you.

Onye anwuru

Wonderful. I’m delighted that you found your true calling. A lot of goons are still searching for their calling even at 45 that they turn out to be bitter warriors on NL.

My brother. I feel your pain. It’s possible you made that offer innocently because I feel that same way about helping women especially because I feel somehow I’d get someone I’d gist and share info with every morning while driving to work.

BUT because of the stupid mentality of most women in Nigeria, I tend to respect myself and drive empty vehicle from mainland to island daily even when I know a lot of people need a ride.

For example, one time I stopped at my bustop to pick anyone that needed a lift to the Island, only for two ladies to rush my vehicle and opened the front and back passenger side doors. I told the one at the back that I can only drive with the one in the front because I do not carry people at my backseat as my bag, laptops, work phone and tablet are there and I have heard about incidents of my friends being robbed by innocent looking people that they gave lifts in the back seat.

After I told her that, she shouted aaarh Oga nawaa o, na so you like woman! I was enraged!

Are we animals! Will everything be sex sex sex!!! Stupid backward mentality!

Well I understand, and in heartfelt response - GOD PUNISH YOU!

Where is the rain?
