kindness001:
Hello all,

Please, I need your help.
I was recently refused an F2 Visa in Abuja Embassy.
During the course of the interview, the VO asked how long I have been married, and it's just 2 months before the interview, and the VO laid emphasis on it "just two months?", and the next thing was a blue paper.
Recently I got a new job with better pay, which will be barely 2 months if I plan to go for another interview in December, should I use this new job as a change in my circumstance?
Please, your suggestions are welcomed.

Secondly, I am in need of any F2 WhatsApp group link for mock session interview. Someone should please help me with one.

Thank you all.

I usually disconnect from anyone who becomes economic migrant to USA or Europe. Because they become a burden to me when they arrive there.

But I can understand that people are so brainwashed by different media to believe that life is better out there. The funniest one is married people who are ready to move out to abroad. I call them crazy.

Traveling for tourism and business is okay, but going out there to study or work is madness. There is hardship and success everywhere.

TheBillyonaire:
Migration in the grand scheme of things is just movement of human beings from one part of their own planet to another part, either for survival, fun or just information gathering. I see nothing wrong in migration.

The current escaping aka japa is also normal when a person feels that life is better at another location. If at the end, life deals them the alternative card, then the harm can not be undone, but becomes a lesson for others.

Personally, I feel that it is best to figure out how to heck a living in your local village, while figuring out a means to getting hard currencies that will geometrically help you design your local environment.

There is a wise saying "A rolling stone, gathers no moss". So, japa wisely.

Hehehe.

Prof you no try at all.

When a Prof who is suppose to know the value of educational qualification is involved in certificate racketeering,then it becomes warrisome.

He should be ashamed of himself.

Na poor pple suppose know how not to waste money on unnecessary things..... This is not poverty issue sir....it's just exploiting ur fellow human being's feelings and generosity

It's a dirty behavior

ceede2:
On *5th* attempt!!!! Determination.
I was going for a graduation in 2014.
What they wrote in the blue paper was I have strong tie overseas that I will not be abandoned but I didn't demonstrate that after my travel, I have what will compel me to come back to my home country. The VO didn't check my documents, just few questn.

How she jump to that conclusion I don't know.

Then I don't know there's a thread on NL that can make it easier like this, at least I know better now.

I will still try.

Kudos to Justwise and the good people on this thread who took out their time to respond to every question without been payed.

God bless you all.

ceede2:
Abi nah, when they deny me 2014 till now I didn't apply again.

You want to try the way the VO was shouting at one lady,
VO: how did your sister get to US?
VO: are you married?
Fear couldn't allow the Lady, after about 3 question, without even allowed her to answer, blue paper straight very aggressive tiny VO.

How your bro/sis/your fam get to US really matters. They have the record. If they move there legally infact you are halfway home.

ceede2:
.....actually one reliable agent that got her date handled the Ds 160, she provide all the info herself.

She work with one of the LCDA here in Lag but the interview was don in Abj

She's going there to attend one of our cousins wedding,, she said the VO didn't even ask her for any doc.
She applied for visiting (B1B2).

If she put herself together, I will aske her more about the interview.




She use the host as a sponsorer (our anuty) as agreed btw them.
Note: she have all the info about our anuty who invited her for the son's wedding...

flourishing247:



Did you just say it is not the embassy's biz how someone migrated? LOL!!!!!!
Are you aware there's a place in the form where you are asked if you have immediate family in the US. You also need to indicate if they are residents/ citizens. The information they need is in the system without asking the person anything. Even on this forum we have seen it play out. It affects the outcome of visas.

flourishing247:


What!! It does reflect on one's interview.

Neduk2:


Thanks for your response, i have a well paying job over here and also my brother traveled through student route. Hope that won't be a problem during the interview ?

Omah01:
Good morning house. Please I need direction on applying for a visiting visa for a family of 4 to our elder brother in the US.

Do we have to fill different Ds160s or we fill just one and add others as travel companions?

Thank you.
