@Opeyemi007 Ìwô gâân gâân nī bâbâ ĀDÈYÌN KŌRÊ àtī ãkúrí ènìyàn . Who does not want Our own Nairaland to grow .

You just displayed the highest form of your fake - life by snapping someone's visa page WHICH IS EVEN TOTALLY COVERED 😀

A genuine and reasonable - professional person will never even try to convince anyone by snapping a visa page . @Opeyemi007 ..YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY US VISA on your passport .

- I read few days ago when @NewBoyKahoggi was taking on one of your gangs where Somebody went for F1 visa on MBA 5 times and got visa refusals and you guys are still asking the guy to attempt the 6th time when nothing has really changed in his circumstances !! YOU ARE ALL OLD BOTTLES WASTING THE TIME AND RESOURCES OF NEW GENERATIONS.



HAVE A NICE DAY .

Oponu, Apoda, Afofungbemu. I wonder why they haven't blocked you guys on this thread.

ArinzeAminuBOYS:
HALLO !

@Opeyemi007 You do not have any US visa it's a lie . If you truly have the visa it cost you nothing to screenshot it on NL. Even if someone have a US visa does that qualifies him to be an expert in the process of the visa ?

I am a follower of @NewBoyKashoggi and i have been in contact with him, that man is a fantastic man and he is one of the genuine responders here . YESTERDAY , they seized his login password. God will soon start working on all of you .

# The only where you don't need an invitation letter for B1/B2 is when you are going for tourism ...perhaps you want to visit some places as a pleasure . If you are visiting individual or attending conference or you want to go and inspect something YOU NEED AN INVITATION LETTER . The CO may not ask for it but you need the letter to take along .

If you want to apply for the emergency appointment your invitation letter and your MRV payment receipt is what you will use to apply . @Opeyemi007. You do not have any USA Visa . If all of you have the visas as claimed then , What are you doing on Nairaland ? GO and give other new generation changers the way. All the applicants who went through your advise last year all got VISA REFUSALS .



HAVE A NICE DAY .

Also, You type like the "other person." Stupid agents

ArinzeAminuBOYS:
HALLO !

@Opeyemi007. Are you working in the US embassy or how do you know or what makes you think that they won't ask for bank statement. ? Why do you people like to mislead prospective applicants with your over confidence ?

The person that is going on a visiting visa does not need an invitation letter so what is the evidence that such a person is being invited ?

What is the meaning of It Holds no water ? Are you a staff @ the US embassy ? Why did you not give solution to the original poster ? Foolish notice me.



HAVE A NICE DAY .

Bros, It's my seventh year on this US travel thread, not one person has ever said they were asked for an invitation letter. An invitation letter holds no substance as anyone could write it for anyone. I was at the US embassy twice before I got my visa the third time, not one person was asked for an invitation letter even though more than forty people were interviewed on each of my visit.

You'd be asked for documents if applying for a study or medical visa. They do not ask for any doc for visiting. Quote me anywhere

Bros dem no de check bank statements and invitation letter for Visiting. They'll not even ask. It holds no water

Hey 🤠


1. How to do Proof of Funds as a visitor going to the United States with his family is to show a bank statement in your name or your sponsor's name showing balance of account .

2. Yes, it is under a must for you to show or proof beyond reasonable doubts to the Consular officer that you or your sponsor have more than enough money to spend in the United States during your short visit .

3. Your in-law that you are visiting must write an INVITATION LETTER to you . That invitation letter is what you will tender to the US embassy or the Consular officer as evidence of the fact that your in-law is the one who invited you over for a short holiday . The Invitation letter should be the first thing to have in your hand before other process . Some may say it's optional but to me the letter is important .



Best Wishes 🙏

They’ll need naija passports since they do not have British passports.

brotherfranklyn:
Merry Christmas guys.

I am processing USA B1/B2 from UK.
We have two kids delivered here in the UK.

Do they need to have Nigerian passport to apply for the B1/B2? or will UK brp alone be OK, as both of them were born in the UK. Also must they use Nigerian passport to enter the USA? Or is there any kind of transit visa for kids.

FYI. My wife, I as well as my first issue have valid Nigerian passport and brp.

Oh ok. That makes sense

Born2conquer:
Study visa

Very strange that they’d send an approval email for a visit visa. Congratulations

Born2conquer:
That my travel document is ready, UKVI sent another mail that they've granted me VISA

What do you mean by confirmation email?

Born2conquer:
Thank you.
Biometrics on the 12th
Visa came out in the 13th.
Confirmation Mail from TLS came out yesterday, from UKVI today

Oh ok. I got a five years US too, I’ll use it. Emailed tourism@bahamas.com yesterday to confirm I could use it. Thanks for letting me know. Mexico has stopped entry by UK visa btw. My friend couldn’t use hers this year, and had to get the visa at embassy here in Lagos.

Baba19:
No wahala, bro. We’re all here to help each other. I have a U.S. Visa so that’s what I used to enter Bahamas, Mexico, Jamaica and other Caribbean countries. But for Barbados, I didn’t need any visa at all. With UK visa, I believe you can enter Mexico freely as well.

Unrelated Brother, did you need a visa when you went to bahamas from the UK?

Baba19:
Amelia the oracle!!! Thank you sis. You still dey this market 😂😂😂😂

Nah your guidance and format I use that 2021 whey they give us visa after delaying us for more than 50 working days. Chai!!!

I used that visa twice that time. First time for one week and from London, I ja go Bahamas and then I returned again for another week and commot. I’m back for renewal now and hoping for the best.

That time, I had been to 14 countries. I’ve gone to more now. It’s now 21 so my travel history stand well. Business is still going well. I added all my documents- my previous visas, personal and business statements, savings statement which my wife keeps, documents for the home we own etc.

My downsides:
money for account no too dey.
Secondly, remember in the first application I made the mistake of thinking visa refusal question was about the last 10 years so I only declared cyprus refusal and didn’t declare the UK. but this time it is clear and I put the first and only Uk visa refusal I got there which is 17 years old. You can check my former posts as a reminder.

Abeg, advise a brother!

Not sure you need to transfer cos your old passport number should be on your new one.

mamawa123:
Good day folks, does anyone here know the process of transferring a UK visa from old passport to a new passport, and can one do it here in Nigeria

Just to prove that I'm not stupid, please check this thread ( https://www.nairaland.com/4250945/give-birth-usa-cost-procedures/435 ) Check the comment from TMJO on May 27, read stories from others. Also, you should read what Ladycaplin wrote up there

Hey 🤠

@ Taal17. I am supporting you here . Some people will just post into public forum and thinks every reader is a drunk 😄

How will a US Consular Officer (VO) tells a visa hopeful that .. YOU CANNOT HAVE A CHILD IN THE US IF YOU DO GET MARRIED ?

If Opeyemi007 accepts this as a typo error or exaggeration then apology is accepted. But if he insist that it's the real time occurrence at the embassy then that's a BIG LIE .

Even if any VO mistakenly says such statement while interviewing an F1 Applicant then he or she would be sanctioned.

NOTE : What section of the US immigration law state it ? Pure bunkum .


Best Wishes 🙏

She said said something about marriage and childbirth. A lecturer from covenant uni was interviewed and she’s going to the US for a course, she came with two kids and her husband. They grilled her for more than ten minutes, gave her the visa and refused her kids and her husband. It was a mad day.

Taal17:
No wahala
Maybe you misunderstood her .
If that is what she said though then she lied.

Congratulations on your visa.. it's great that you got approved when the visa is now 5yrs.

There is no law that currently can restrict you from getting married or having a child in the US

No document asked. Thanks Boss

pufframmy:
Congrat bro no statement of acct was ask?

Wahala.... I'm telling you she said that to me! Which kind wahala be this. Sey I go de lie ontop wetin no go give me money ni? Said you cannot have a child in the US if you get married within the next five years. She was only trying to say the visa was issued for Tourism. We no need de drag ham. You weren't there.

Window 6, black lady. Na Wetin she tell me be that. Since I’m not married, I cannot/shouldn’t get married and goan born in yankee within the five years given🤷🏾‍♂️. There’s no reason to lie about anything. Unless I misunderstood her.

Taal17:
They said that or you wrote this wrong?
Because it's not true.

Background: 2 US refusals(2016/2017). I had only been to three countries(South Africa, Dubai and Seychelles). I was in my finals and the visa was refused in Abuja.

I'm a male, and I shared my visa refusal in 2017, you'd see it if you click my profile and check my posts from 2017.

2023 Application Date: September 2023
Interview Date: Today
Status: Approved

VO: Why are you going to the states?
Me: I'd like to go on a vacation to Miami and New York

Me: 2m

VO: How much profit monthly?
Me: Six million but it’s not fixed so it could be higher or lower.
VO: Are you married?
Me: No

VO: Do you have kids?

VO: You should know the law has changed, and you cannot have a child in the US if you do get married.
Me: I know

VO: I'll be approving your visa, this document would tell you how to pick up your visa.
VO: Travel responsibly(I didn't understand but maybe it's because I've visited the Uk thrice this year).

I have had numerous Visa refusals, but I got a UK visa this year and that changed my life!

WhatsApp chats dating back to before/after marriage, pictures before you guys got married. Think of anything that could prove you’re in a real marriage.

babajide107:
Please provide further evidence of your relationship to the main applicant as you have only submitted a marriage certificate dated 2022. The fact you have demonstrated your marriage took place does not act as independent corroboration you are in an ongoing, subsisting relationship. Examples of acceptable proof of relationship may include photos (inside and outside of wedding), official, verifiable evidence confirming you reside at the same address as your partner, digital conversation history and joint bank accounts.
Please what can I give them..I have joint account with her sha but it’s just almost a month old

It's not that deep in my opinion... It would be a big deal if you hadn't declared a refusal..So chillax

pharrel1539:
My case is Not necessarily bad immigration or travel history because is submitted my previous visas added in the list of documents submitted and my passport was renewed in uae which was stated as Abu Dhabi as issuing passport authority. My error comes in the column for countries visited was filled in "No" when I had actually visited dubai and worked there with all the visas for work uploaded as attachment. I have done bio since Sept 20th and till date no decision.

If it's issued, it depends on your travel dates. If you stated 20th on September on your application, it would become valid from that date for another 28/30days. The duration of stay is the max number of days you can stay within the validity. It will be stated on the Passport

itunuoye:
Hi Puffmama, How are you doing? Please I want to ask one important question. I intend to submit Schengen application for my family but my question is let assume they intend to travel on September 20, and once the visa granted, will the visa show that they must travel on before September 20 or there is a duration that the visa will state when it will start counting. Or is there anything like if stated 20days visa given will it expired in 20days time. I really need answer to this.

Thanks

This is the outbound flight, you’d still get a quote for the inbound one. [quote author=Ekababbe post=125139763][/quote]

It says the same on my own too. I spoke to my TLS person and he confirmed it was a glitch. It’s nothing to worry about.

Africankel:
Congratulations!!!

Imagine TLS Abuja keeping my visa application for two weeks before sending it to the Consulate. I've sha reached out to the Consulate for the withdrawal of my passport as I have another trip in two days. They promised to send it today, so hopefully I pick it up from TLS tomorrow.

Good evening. I submitted the normal document everyone else submits. Business documents, flight reservation, letter of introduction, bank statements, insurance, property documents.

Nickelodeon93:
Good evening sorry to bother you like this, I am interested in traveling to Europe. I like to know how you did yours

It should be tomorrow

puffmama:
Great, VFs Abuja presently does not have option of pick up so they have to dispatch .
I got a sms this afternoon that the courier has picked my passport so was wondering how long it will take to deliver .

Thanks. Paid for courier but I picked it up myself. Picked it before it was dispatched. Also, I Used TLS

puffmama:
Congratulations. How soon after your passport was picked from VFS office did the dispatch contact you or deliver .

I'm not sure they saw her bank statement. Even if they were going to refuse the application, they should have atleast said something about it.

Ufemia26:
I am shattered 😭.
My mom's visit visa application was refused today. I got the refusal mail this night. I submitted my payslip and husband's payslip, our account statements showing close to 11k pounds, my mom's account statement showing 1.5m, infact enough documentation from my end. Her reason for visit is to come see her first grand child as I put to bed 2 months ago.

Please click on my Username and check my posts, you'll see the post and the letter. I got the email to submit PP and visa issuance took two days.

Atinukemi23:
Wow, I am glad you got there at the end.
Did you get an email to have your passport resubmitted to TLS ?
And how long after you submitted it was the visa issued ?

We keeping our fingers crossed also, no matter how long it takes we are so willing to wait, than to risk re- applying and chances of refusing it is higher this present PAP took 14days exactly for them to allow the re - consideration. So we are hanging there.

This could go on to six months though. My solicitor sent a PAP in October 2022, they replied after three months(January 2023) with another re-refusal(Reasons different from the initial ones). We sent another PAP in February (2023) and they replied in May(2023) agreeing with the challenge and granting the visa. It was a very long and daunting process. If I had reapplied without challenging, It would have been refused on some flimsy grounds. Wishing them the best

Atinukemi23:
l

We challenged the ECO decision last month for reconsideration, like I said previously it is not all the ECO that knows what he or she is doing, some roasted me for that statement, I have seen so many refusals that made absolute no sense, they are humans, they have hormones too we have the bad eggs among them who just refuse you based on flimsy excuse(s).
I didn’t take the second refusal likely, as there was no difference between the previous refusal which was last year, and the this recent one and it is based on financial grounds( enough sufficient funds with proof). (Looked more like a copy and paste to me ) Pre action protocol (PAP) was sent to the home office giving them 14days to reconsider before taking it further to court for JR.
They responded on the 14th day and yes a senior caseworker in his/ her right senses looked at the evidence submitted and he/she did agreed it was sufficient enough to grant the entry clearance visiting visa in the first place.
If we had accepted fate and re - apply the third time it MAY be refused again and that is too much dent, although they claim every new application(s) is decided based on its merit but I do not want to believe they do not look at your past history with them in concluding.
So fingers crossed on when my aunt and her children will be asked to bring their passports, it shouldn’t take up to 3months sha.
Sometimes you just have to push some buttons.
Don’t let the refusal bring you down, but first, do the right thing.
And good luck to everyone.

How long does it take to get a decision from the Italian embassy? It’s the 14th working day today, and I haven’t heard anything from Tls.
