MamaOO:

Like someone said earlier. You can NOT appeal a US visa application. You can only reapply. And pay a new fee.

Then if she feels its worth it, Let her do so... I dont believe she would fail now ... She or He anyway

First of all, what was the reason for the visa denial? There should be a reason for that judging by the blue paper... And you wont just say you coming back - when you didn't show evidence, You need to have shown something in this regard.

One of these my girlfriends who just left told me her ordeal, when they denied her visa and she asked the V.O what and why, they told her she didnt show a proof of ties to the home country, when she went with her projects , Like certificates to show she has an awarded contract etc, the second time, she was granted the visa.

Yes you can appeal at this point. God speed.

@Obernix, thanks for your response the other day. My interview with my mum ended up as a bitter sweet . My mum was issued a visa but I got rejected.
Me: Good morning
Vo: Good morning
(Handed over our passports to the vo and he checks his system)
Vo: You are traveling together but applied separately, so you will be interviewed separately.
Me: Alright (smiling)
Vo: Where are you traveling to?
Me: I am traveling to ******** to visit my aunt and her family during my annual leave at work and break from school, use the opportunity to visit my elder sister & her family and return to work in Nigeria and also complete my masters degree.
Vo: What do you do?
Me: I work as *********** at ***********. My duties entail *******************.
Vo: How long do you intend traveling?
Me:3 weeks
Vo: How long have you been working?
Me: 5 years
Vo: Have you travelled out of Nigeria before?
Me: Yes. Travelled to ********** on vacation and returned to work and school in Nigeria.

Vo faces my mum
Vo: You are retired. What were you doing before you retired??
Mum: I was a **********. I got promoted in ***** year as a ********, retired at the highest level as a**********. And I presently work for ******** on a program designed for retirees.
Vo: How many children do you have.
Mum: 2
(Vo types for long with myself and mum smiling and giggling. Vo hands over the white form to mum and told her to pick her passport at the circled address after receiving a mail.)
Me: Thank you Lord (Smiling)

Vo: Turns to me and handed over my passport with a blue paper. *Sorry, you are not eligible at this point)
Me: *did a sad face to the Vo and smiled* Collected my passport and walked out with joy for my mum.
Now she can visit my sis after a very long time�

My aunt who invited us said we should appeal because I have no intention staying back aside visiting and returning back to work and school.
What do you think of the appeal Can I still be issued a visa at this point and what’s the procedure??

pat077:
do they offer 3 months tourist visa?

Yes They do. You can also Send an email again to them to make the Confirmation of things yourself as well.
You can also use Etihad Airways, They also assist with visas as well... Especially for the Visit VISA.

PweetyHitee:
hI please I don't want to go to Abuja. How do I do it quote author=Obernix post=72162378]Oh yes you can.

Normally i use Hyatt Regency Dubai, But you must have a Hotel Reservation with them in order to process the visa.

Once you have successfully booked the hotel from their Website
Follow this Website https://www.hyatt.com/en-US/hotel/united-arab-emirates/hyatt-regency-dubai-creek-heights/dxbhc

And you have a confirmation , you can send them an email with your Reservation ID and stuff and let them confirm from their own end the visa usually takes 3-6 days to Process, You pay by Debit / Credit Card.

You can send an Email to visa.dxb@hyatt.com

Oh yes you can.

Normally i use Hyatt Regency Dubai, But you must have a Hotel Reservation with them in order to process the visa.

C# Developers needed ASAP at Aldelia.
Send cv to Francis.okoye@aldelia.com

Allow for Remote?

Why not do it this way. From what you have learnt, Try to design something and Paste here , Some guys like gimakon, whytelyon and some other good guys here can help.

i know Gimakon has been banned from nairaland for sometime due to Anger issues on the Politics Section
You dont come here and ask people to help you, when you havent done a single thing. Nairaland guys will not help you when you are even in need its when you dont even have something to show? Think about it.

bigtt76:
Approximately 3 weeks but ensure you submit all the required documents and try to follow up directly with the embassy incase you missed out a document. The 3-5 months processing is if you did not submit the correct documents, it will just be there unattended to.

What of Italy?

Hmmm

So i wanted to show something like Ties to home country and the visa application in general and hence i wanted to be sure if i am on the right track somehow Some of us who has been to the US , please guide me o , no bad mouthing. We go all go this America in Jesus name.

1.) So in the end i got an invitation for Energy and Power conferences, (I am a Programmer,But, Programmers are also needed in Development of algorithms for simulation and Modelling,Reservoir construction.. etc) Please do let me know if I stand a good chance somehow or are there still chances of denial somehow. If yes, What must be done?

2.) Now in the area of Home Ties to ma country. here is what I have :

a.) I work here in Nigeria, as a Solutions architect, Not married. I develop software Solutions / applications for Banks, Telecoms, Oil and gas sector.

b.) I have a good Salary with my payslips for the timeline i worked, As they always send my payslips to my email after the money has been paid into my Bank account.

c.) My office supervisor is willing to give me a Letter of Introduction, Bank statement and a sworn affidavit of sponsorship to confirm that I am being sponsored by the company to go for the conference etc

d.) I am the heir to my fathers properties here in Nigeria, hence i wanted to get another sworn affidavit which also affirms that i am the rightful heir to that property as it stands (Landed Properties, Documents from CAC for ma fathers company etc.)

e.) I have an already confirmed Flight reservation ticket which confirms I would be going and returning to and from Texas, USA (Leave and return to Nigeria to be very precise).

f.) I have a proposal for a Microfinance Banking Solution I recently submitted, hence I wanted to print it and carry it along with me to the Embassy to show to them as further proof of Ties to home country etc

Then i can come with my own documents. Bank Statements etc. And the invitation letter. Please let me know your ideas, what you think... just imagine yourself as the V.O Do you think i stand a good chance (Judging by whatever you hear about the US visas in travel section)

cydophobia:

Anytime Fam, just go on YouTube. There are tons and tons of Videos you can watch, is it B1/B2 You applying for?

peejay03:
My interview with my mum is next week Friday and i’m not eager to attend because of the high increase in rejection. My mum and I have been invited by my Aunt and only sis whom we’ve not seen in years for visiting. I have strong ties here in Nigeria with a good job, my personal business and my masters which is still in view. My mum is retired but has a temporary job with the judiciary for retirees. I don’t mind if i’m given a blue paper but I really want my mum to be issued a visa just to see my sister. I have travelled to some African countries but my mum hasn’t travelled before. Do you think we have a chance to be issued a visa, especially my mum

They rejected others , doesnt mean they'd reject you. Head no be the same. I'd say its not the paper work US follows 100% (Judging from what I see in these videos), its Prayer, first and the questions and the way you answer them. If you are going to answer them, Let whatever you tell them,match with your documents. Have a Letter of introduction, and if you have a Registered Business have your CAC Certificate and Bank Statements all in your name to match.

I have been watching several videos on Youtube here in the office, for the past 5 days now. Asides being some sort-of Uniform questions they ask in different ways, They would just ask it to scare you, when you fall for it, You get a denial (Both for F-1 and B1/B2) As though, You dont know what you saying. For instance, one of the interviewers asked someone who was going for a business why he was going and where he was going to, its supposed to be understood that he knows the Address, he just told the man he didnt know the Address and he was denied visa on the grounds, he didnt know where he was going and he didnt give them enough evidence - So you see, its basically how you answer them.

Sometimes its always best you use documents that Makes a whole lot of sense, like you going for a conference or some study (Short study) And have the company back you up with their Bank statements. When they see the company details, And their (The company's) Bank Statements, the rest of the questions would be milder as they see you have strong ties to your home country... and they are financing your trip My thinking tho...

Sometimes they'd ask you, why would I give you two days when the conference is just 2 days. They are expecting that you would come up with something like ..."I plan on going to see a family member, probably after the business / conference for sometime...." You know say Nigeria, we sharp... we go wan lie... and in the process we no go talk Lie way sweet.. before you know, Blue Paper go follow us comot Walter Carrington.

Those Oyibo V.O just day use psychology day deal with us for here.

Just calm down and learn how to answer your Questions. Thats what i'd say.

edimalo:
I had my interview today. Blue paper was given to me and everyone that I saw and went with.

My wife and son couldn't enter as they had issues with barcode.

How best can this barcode be solved. There were told to reschedule. Does this mean a date is possible this month for them.

Expecting responses please.

Why were you given a Blue paper?

Now Good.

My friend in the USA is the one helping out with the invitation Letters, he's bringing invitation Letters both for Medicals, Energy and co. And having told him what was obtainable as regards to that invitation the Lung Cancer and stuff, he got me one for Electric and Power and handed it over to me today, judging by Programming energy and Electricity.

Is this a better bet than the other one i had earlier? Just asking ...Kindly put me in the right direction, assuming you the VO what would you think at first?

hajidel:
Polygamy is legal in some states in Nigeria but illegal in the USA and when you apply for a visa, they will take that into account for sure. But like you said, they have the perfect platform to make their case, that is the interview. There they have the opportunity to convince the VO with how they answer that particular question.
So my advice to you is be honest and truthful; put in your application form that you are married and that may open up the question of your husband because you will have put his name on the form. Then they may ask if he is traveling with you or if he has a visa then answer accordingly as the form you would have filled will ask if anyone else is traveling with you. So if the VO tells you about your husband being married before then be rest assured that they know and are testing you and expect you to answer truthfully.



Ah thats true o. Some people jus day vex anyhow.

As per your question, travel experience is definitely important but its not the ultimate. I have seen people gotten visa with a virgin passport. And the VOs are so trained and experienced in people 'creating' travel experiences because they have seen it many a times. So you can try and travel to Korea but the VO might wonder whether you are one of the 'creators' for travel experiences. UAE visa anyone can basically get at any time and they know that so that won't hold too much weight. Traveling to Australia, New Zealand, Europe (and UK cos they have different visas) will definitely help your case. The important factor is whether you have something going on in Nigeria that will compel you to return once your visit in USA is done. Good paying job, career advancement opportunity, business, married (dependent on your age), children etc.





You can refill another DS-160 form to reflect the new travel date and update the appointment profile with the new DS-160 confirmation and reprint the appointment confirmation.

hajidel:
I day for travel section because since many people wan run like me, I will like to give them advice on experiences I have encountered so as to give them a big chance of success.
