She was denied because you guys tried to make her bank statement look like she has money.
After (a) she said she doesn't work and (b) she appears to have won a lottery of N500k in under 30 days which (c) is the money she wants to spend on a 5 weeks trip.
Her credibility is in question. If she manipulated her financial information, then she might as well manipulate other information.
Don't fund bank accounts for interviews, especially when its for countries that ask for bank statements before physical interviews.
You have to find out how you will address the integrity issue of her bank statement for them to move forward with her application when you reapply.

Thank you so much, I’m thinking of completely omitting that part in her next application. Can I present just mine?

Ask on the other thread. You will get better answers from experienced people. Are you sure the hospital didn't give you a discount? If yes, then it could be the reason.

Hello House,

I applied for a USA B1/B2 visa in June Ending. Upon filling out the https://portal.ustraveldocs.com/ to book an appointment, I was informed I will get am email to book an appointment. When I waited for a week, I was worried, I sent an email requesting to know the delay in sending me the link to book an appointment, to which they responded that I will receive an email once my request is approved. Now I am worried because I need to attend a conference in October this year.

Anybody in such a situation or have experienced such can please advise me on what to do.

If you all don't mind, she should push her trip forward.
If you will re-apply immediately, then the 3 of you should declare intention to jointly sponsor her trip (100%), with all of you providing your documents.
The issue of the first application will come up, she should be ready to explain it away. (She was promised a vacation by you guys and you guys gave her the money she had in the account)

WOLEXGINO:
Hello All,
Please, I am new here and need a guidance on my B1/B2 Visa.

in 2017, I got my Visa with my wife and truth been told, we didn't know she was 2 weeks gone. We wrote to the embassy to inform them about our intention to use the visa for childbirth and they replied we can as long as we can defend our purpose at the port of entry. Fortunately, No question was asked related to this matter and was able to enter the US and deliver the baby. To cut the long story, Upon our application for renewal (Dropbox), the visa was denied under 221g and we went for the interview with the proof of payment (Zero Balance Letter) but was denied.

We have reapplied for our B1/B2 visa in 2023 and hoping to visit the embassy for an interview in November.

Please, is there anything we need to do to defend or proof our innocence? Although, I stayed 1 week for the first time in the US and stayed 2 weeks for the second visit while my wife stayed 3 months at a stretch and both left at the same time for Nigeria?

Please, we need professional advise on what to do during the interview.

Ask here

if you transit in Egypt with Egyptair, your passport will not be stamped since you did not leave the International Airside.
Egyptair is not really bad, expect no luxury, getting to U.S is the most important thing and I can assist with cheap ticket although with the exchange rates you won't find any cheap ticket nowadays.

Not sure if you meant scheduling in London rather than rescheduling as you haven't already scheduled an appointment in Belfast if i have understood your statement correctly. It's okay to schedule in London even though you filled Belfast in your DS-160. All you need to do is fill up another DS-160 (not mandatory) before you attend your interview in London otherwise there might be slight delay during your interview as the visa officer would need to first transfer your application electronically from Belfast to London before your actual interview commences (time consuming- takes couple of minutes.) Hope this information helps.

Please I need your thoughts on this please.
I have a B1/B2 expiring 27th of October but I filled on my DS 160 I’d be traveling October 13th and since I head it takes 2 months for IW applications to be approved I applied for the IW with my daughter June 15th.

My daughter own came back approved about 1 week after. I only just received mine today with a pick form. Attached underneath

I need to travel like in 2 weeks and I have already bought ticket already. My concerns now are 1. My ticket is till December 4th as my sister just had a baby and I want to help while my current Visa expires in October.
2. Why was my daughter approved and I asked to rebook another appointment.
3. This appointment is it another IW or a normal appointment
4. Since my previous visa is still valid can I still go ahead and use it?
5. If I travel with this visa would I have issues at the POE since I have been asked to book another appointment?
Please advice I’m confused

Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by ifax(f): 11:39am On Jul 21, 2023
You don’t qualify because your visa hasn’t expired yet. You can enter the us before your visa expires.

You’re only eligible for IW three months before expiration of current visa and 48 months after its expiration. You didn’t read the instructions before submitting so you set yourself up for interview.
Your current visa is valid and if it wasn’t cancelled just yet then you can travel on it, I’ve seen stories like this in the birthing thread many years ago.

Hello all, I’m in desperate need for advice. Kindly don’t ignore me if you have the proper information 🙏

I had invited my younger sister to visit me in the UK, and she just got denied. She’s 19 years of age and in her 3rd year in the university. She just finished her first MBBS exams and her Dean of faculty had equally written on a letter head introducing and acknowledging her studentship.

I want to re-apply for her immediately, and I will show below the letter of refusal.
However, documents submitted from both ends included;

From me (invitee/Sponsor);
1. 3 months bank statements
2. 3 months work payslips
3. Utility bill
4. Offer letter from work
5. Data page of passport
6. BRP ( Residence Permit)
7. Invitation letter stating she’s coming to see her newborn nephew and also visit some interesting sites

From my sister’s end;
1. Dean of faculty letter of introduction
2. 1 month zenith bank statement of account showing above 500k
3. Student ID card
4. Letter of admission
5. A picture of us together

Note 1: Application declared that she has two other siblings here in the UK, and all on work visas
Note 2: She is in a private Uni

Attached is the ECO’s reasons for refusal, kindly advice 🙏

Sorry about it, you could also go through the UK visit visa thread. you may find it helpful

I agree that I set myself up but I did read the instructions about 3 months before but I assumed since it took about 2 months to get it approved I would have fallen in to the 3 months period but I was obviously wrong.
Thanks for the insight gives me some kind of clarity. I appreciate
