[Congratulations, but pls im confused, seems you did renewal, why didn't you use the Dropbox option]

[Since your husband has used his visa, there shouldn't be any issue concerning that. Just have a copy of his visa and entry/exit stamps. Be confident and relax. I'm guessing you've already submitted your ds160 and filled your husband as your sponsor, would have advice you to still fill whateverj ob you are doing instead of leaving it blank]

Thank you for ur contribution however, you don't understand me. I'll just summarize it now. My husband got his visa last year, i didn't apply with him cos i was heavily preggy then and obviously won't be granted a visa. We decided wen i put to bed, we'll apply for mine and go for vacation. Unfortunately when i applied with our kids, we were refused cos d vo said my husband's visa is recent (he hasn't travelled with it). This was january. My husband proceeded to d US february, spent 12days and returned. Now our next interview is next week. I just wanna know our chances and if not filling my income on my ds form is a problem. My husband is our sponsor and he's going with us. [/quote]

[quote author=kristinbaby post=61931235]Congratulations. I see the confidence in you defending your job. The VO want to mislead you about your job but you remain strong. All applicants should be ready to defend their jobs and must able to explain what they are going to do in States. Don't be surprise that the VO did not question you on your UAE visa, it's because she is satisfied already with your profile. Lesson for all; Fill your DS 160 form yourself and make sure you give as much as possible details in the section about your job duties. I wish you best vacation in NY.

Thank you Kristinbaby

Hello Good people. I'm one of the silent readers and observers. First I would like to thank you guys so much for your immense contribution to this forum Especially LadyG,  Omobendel, Seyewest etc. This is my second attempt having applied once previously in 2013 and was refused. I Read about the black lady in window 5 (now 6) that refuses a lot of visa and she truly lived to her expectation.All the while I stood in line, she did not dish out 1 single white paper. So back to the matter, Interview was for 8.45am


Me: Good morning 

Vo: Good morning, may I have your passport 

Vo: Why are you going to the us

Me: I'm going for vacation and tourism 

Vo: Have you travelled before

Me : yes, to the UK and Dubai

 Vo: Do you have your old passport that has the UK visa with you

 Me: Yes,passed the expired passport with expired UK visas. Vo goes thru checking the dates

Vo: when was the last time you visited UK

Me: it's been a while, 2010 (I went to dubai twice in 2015 and 2016 but Vo did not ask anything about the dubai trip)

Vo: What were you in UK for

Me: for vacation

Vo: are you single or married 

Me: I'm single, but I'm engaged 

Vo : okay

Vo: What do you do

Me: Im the managing director of bla bla bla  and I also own a real estate company on the side where I market and purchase properties on behalf of clients 

 Vo: (types for a while) you said you are the marketing manager for bla bla bla?

Me: No, I own bla bla bla 

Vo : oh okay

Vo: where in the us are you going?

me: New York

Vo: how long are you staying for

me: 10 days

Vo : (still typingggg) are you like traditionally married?

me: No,I'm just engaged

Vo : repeated what I said , just engaged 

me: nodding in the affirmative, yes

Vo: (started typing again,longer than previous typing) Do you know anyone in the US? 

Me:No

Where are you going in the US

Me:I answered again, New York 

Vo: And what do you intend to do while there?

Me: I intend to visit some tourist attractions... 

Vo: (cuts it) like which places

Me: like empire state building, times square, one world observatory...

Vo: Okay..

Me: (I was on a roll) Statue of liberty,central park, 5th avenue....

Vo: Okay okay 

Vo:How much do you have for this trip including cost of ticket 

Me:1.5M 

Vo: will you be seeking medical treatement on this trip

Me: shook my head left and right while saying No at the same time 

Vo: Okay I'm approving your visa.....I honestly didn't hear the rest , only saw her hand and the white paper. She gave me back my old passports and I was even asking her for the recent one coz I forgot she had to hold on to that for the visa. It was when she started laughing that it clicked which I also bust out laughing. As she said have a nice day which I responded and you too! While laughing on my way out lol


my profile,I'm 34 yrs, female,  engaged. Have two businesses and earn 600k plus per month. Although she didn't ask me how I much I earned neither did she mention anything about my dubai trip. 

I guess this time,I was more confident and composed and my circumstances has improved compared to 4yrs ago. And one more thing,the column that asked us to explain why we were refused a  US visa. I stated the reasons (insufficient ties) but I also use the column to write that I believe my circumstances has improved ,I've a well settled biz and my whole family is here. Nothing too long,just a simple jara 

Thank you guys once again and I wish all subsequent applicants best of luck

Hello all, had my interview today at the Lagos embassy and my visa was approved. Thank God! Interview details to follow shortly
