@oolumide. The number of years she has been in the Job matters a lot more than the money. All depends on how you arrange your paper work plus your leaving kids behind. If that is the option you have chosen.

Am aware of someone with no job, little money but strong ties ( leaving wife and kids behind) plus well arranged paper work. Got B1/B2 Visa.

Note: Arranged paper work here means documents showing you have reasons to return.

Sure you will be submitting your old passports with your new one during application. Shows your travel history which is relevant.

1. You do not need to be invited before you make a tourist visa application. There is no implication if you go without an invite.

2. You need to show proof that you will have the finances to cover your trip with left over balances in your account after returning from trip. Lump sum deposit into your account for this purpose will negate your travel intentions. Cash flow in and out of your account is what matters most not lump sum deposit.

3. You have the option to apply with your wife leaving your kids behind if you are able to show strong ties to your home country. If your ties is not that strong enough to your home country, I will suggest you apply alone while using your wife, kids and job you have as ties to your home country. or your wife applies alone using you, kids and her job as ties to your home country. Once one of you have secured visa and returned from trip then kids with (wife or hubby) as it applies will apply at a later time. Provided you don't abuse your visa. No need for rush. Your paper work, ties to your home country needs to be in order.

From my experience, Montego Bay is a good tourist destination. I made use of all inclusive flight and hotel deals. Good value for money. My last trip was June 2014 from Arizona via Florida. Enjoy your trip.

@Wunmi38. I think one person should apply first, instead of whole family applying once. What ties will you be providing if you all apply together and the whole family travelling at same time with your previous U.S visa application in mind.

Oh dear....wife material . Someone will come up with another post soon. "Wife material with wife credentials".
There is no such thing as good wife material.

2 and 4 is a no for me. Nightmare within 5 minutes of initiating sleep. Have to change position to sides or chest down.

@Jeezybuck. Good you have decided to be patient, while you sort your ties and paperwork. Good Luck.

@gallivant. Thanks for your response. Which places do you suggest as must see places or destinations in Kenya?

Just like dotcomnamename has advised you, I had say you wait for your business registration to be completed, get all your tax paper work and business paper work in place. Operate your business as usual with a business account, give your business a professional look. (Business registered, Business account, Tax registration and payment if applicable, evidences of business transactions).
Give at least 6 months once everything is in place before making an application. No need to rush. The aim is for you to obtain the Visa...just be patient, put all paperwork in place before applying.

Anyone with tourist experience in South Korea?

Thanks for your response. I had like to know about the locals, tourist destinations and if possible the average daily cost of living for a tourist.

Anyone with travel experience in Kenya...Please share you stories.

If I may ask...Why Spain for Masters degree. Finland is free tuition.

If you are applying for Irish visa you must show proof that you have strong ties to your country of origin and you have not violated any visa conditions to other countries especially UK and U.S. to avoid automatic refusal. And if you have been refused Irish visa it is best you avoid appeal at all cost, allow some time before making another application. My 1 cent.

Anyone to share Tanzania experience. How are the locals, transportation,food and where are the exciting places to visit? Thanks in Advance.
