You have several problems:

Who did you enter as your husband when you applied for a visiting visa?

You have an application for permanent residency in Canada. If the VO finds out, it will be a straight denial.

My best advice - forget about schooling in America and get your spousal visa done. It is strange that you say it’s stuck. What does that mean? Why don’t you get that settled rather than waste time, money and effort pursuing an education that you don’t really want? I have a feeling your current “marriage” is no better than your previous claim.

ifeanyimoses:
Hello guys, please I need your help to this questions,

1. Does using my uncle as my sponsor reduce my chance in any way

2. Does using his business account reduce my visa approval chance in any way ?

Thanks for the good man that would give me a response

Glowing1:
Nice one

techkay:
Glory be to God in the highest, the author of all knowledge.

My VISA was approved today in Lagos within the time frame of a minute interview.

Full transcript later pls.

My prayer for others is that I will celebrate you all soon in Jesus name

(1) Using your uncle SOA doesn’t reduce your chance in any way in as much you know him very well like knowing the business he’s doing , His SOA covers and even above your Total cost of attendance and know if his company is a registered one if and only if he’s a business man and not a Government worker. Also , know the transaction details on your uncle SOA.

(2) Business SOA is not advisable for the F-1 Student interview rather than having a Personal SOA like that of your uncle.

Kharleed:


Personally, I believe there are only three things a VO needs an F-1 applicant to prove.
1. Strong Home Ties: This is a no-brainer. A Visa Officer needs to be assured that you will return to Nigeria and not be a burden after you graduate. Do you have family here? Do you have a wife/husband in Nigeria? Do you have kids? Are you currently working? Do you own a business? Is it your family/Spouse that is funding you? Do you have scholarship from a local company? Is it a government scholarship? At least, can you clearly articulate your plans after you graduate? Does the VO has a gut-feeling that you are genuine? Do you have history of past travel and returning to Nigeria as at when due? Do you have a research you are working on tied to Nigeria? Just answer any of these questions honestly in your mind. If you are planning to lie to the VO, don't trip: Be rest assured you are coming out of that cubicle with a rejection slip.

2. Proof of Studentship: The VO is trained to pick the wheat from the chaff, to separate genuine students from people who want to japa. (Sorry if you don't know the meaning of Japa ). Answer honestly in your mind: What do you know about your research/course-of-study? Are you clear on your proposed thesis? What do you know about your school? The city where your school is? Where are you going to stay when you get to the US? Why did you apply to the school? Why did you select the school? Do you have contacts in your department? Is the course related to your undergraduate degree? If not, why are you switching careers? Can you articulate responses to these passionately?

3. Funds: Who is paying for your trip to the US? People with scholarships/fellowships/assistantships/funding from first family (mother, father, siblings, spouse) usually have no problem with this point. But if someone else is funding you, I mean awon Uncle, Aunties, In-laws, companies gang, be ready to explain the motive. Someone cannot just part away with millions of naira just because they love you. Be ready to explain, what is your relationship with this entity? How long have you known each other? What is their motive for investing in you? Are you paying back? Is it a loan? If you got a partial funding, and another entity is covering the rest, you'd still explain. If you got tuition waiver, with no extra funding, you need to explain solidly how you plan to survive in the US.
If you have kids going with you, what is your educational plan for them? What is your medical plan? You must have sorted accommodation for at least a semester. You cannot be saying. You are not sure/act like you have not really prepared. So what's your plan?

In essence, be honest and be prepared. The VO must have rejected you earlier for not meeting one of those requirements. The embassy/consulate HAVE YOUR RECORDS and also access to DO A BACKGROUND CHECK on you. So with these few points of mine, I hope I have been able to , reflect on your last interview and answer honestly to yourself, has something changed? Do you have strong home ties now? Can you convince a dummy you are really a student? Do you genuinely have funding (have plans for funding) now?

Be it as it may, if God wants you to be in US, and you have worked diligently and honestly, and you have nothing to hide, your visa WILL be approved. The God factor is the most important factor. As the maxim goes: work like you have not prayed, PRAY like you have not worked, because in essence, it is not by your hard-work.

Whew! That was an epistle. My bad. I was a beneficiary of this thread (Part 15) and I look for opportunities to pay it forward. It's been a month in the US now and I must say, life is really good here. Back to my studies, Aluta Continua!

PS: Don't look for my moniker, I'm on ghostmode

Phenomenalmau:

Thanks so much for your response, the person I put as my husband for visiting was one of my uncle’s friends who has a good traveling history, I later got a divorce certificate to cancel that marriage when my husband filed for my Canada visa
Meanwhile my marriage with my husband now is real but this is is 16th month we’ve been on the Canada spousal visa, that’s why we tried the US school and now that I’ve gained admission we’re skeptical to use my husband or my father as sponsor
