Wednesday 28th of Feb, how long did yours take?
Mine was in Abuja

OyoTunjiUSA:

Hiya, thank you for your reply. Is owning a business sufficient ties?

Hey 🤠

1. Proving home-ties is not just writing out your employer's name or families or property listings . Proving home ties must follow the rigid (unshaking) policy .

2. I can deduced that you 're presently in the UK and to secure United States visa from the UK (as a Nigerian) you must proof a tie WHICH TIE (bind) YOU AND UK TOGETHER .

3. If you are a UK citizen then your family (especially husband , wife and kids ) and job (solid long time job) are sufficient to proof tie.

4. If you are a permanent resident, your family in the UK, Solid job, and properties or ongoing education (ie PhD /MSc in view) will make up for your tie .

5. You just have to proof WHAT MUST take you back to the UK ... NOT WHAT MUST TAKE YOU BACK TO NIGERIA and the United States embassy consulars knows those things naturally . ****.

6. If you are trying to proof Nigeria ties in the UK they won't grant you the visa . You will come to Nigeria and proof those ties to Abuja or Lagos consulars.

Best Wishes 🙏

If you are for Dropbox and you don’t reside in Lagos, then consider using Abuja cos it’s faster. Here’s my timeline:

submitted ds-160 29/01/24
Request to schedule interview waiver approved in hours.
Scheduled IW on 30/01/24 for 06/02/24
Dropped off passport in DHL 06/02/24
Application received on CEAC status 07/02/24
Updated on 12/02/24 to Refused
Date to schedule 221g was already loaded on portal but I waited to get passport first
Passport picked from DHL outside Abuja 15/02/24
Scheduled 221g on 15/02/24 for 23/02/24 (because they take 221g’s only on Friday) so picked the next friday
221g interview on 23/02/24 (Approved)
Passport back in my town 28/02/24.

Uwembasi:
Thanks house for the great insight you provide here.

I am in the process of applying for UK VISITING Visa. My childhood friend is giving me invitation letter and also going to host me throughout my 3 weeks stay.

I will like to know what he needs to provide specifically apart from the letter.

Also, I have bn running a business for the last 5 years but unfortunately just registered it last month. How do I show prove Of ownership since the last five years.

Hey 🤠
1. Go to the UK section . You will receive appropriate answers which you can compare before taking your steps .
Best Wishes 🙏

1) Refusal under section 221g in a nutshell means the information they have in the application is not enough to grant you the visa and additional information is required. You could be required to forward some documents through DHL or come in for fingerprinting (if your fingerprint is more than 10yrs in their system) or come for a physical interview like my case.

2) There can be a lot of reasons for that Refusal
- Not traveling within the period you stated you would when you got the visa
- Not using the visa at all
- Staying long periods in the US

Debbieeeeeee:

B1/B2.
I hope she’s not going to tell them in the embassy she’s going to do nanny. Don’t end the interview before it begins.

Debbieeeeeee:

Was your last trip to the U.S. your first trip there?

Go with documents you feel will help you defend your last trip to the U.S. and other necessary documentation.

Blackfinegirl:



You may need to explain why you stayed longer than 4 weeks, They always have issues when you stay longer than 2 to 4 weeks if its not medical reasons. They hardly check documents, but just go with employment docs, bank statements, e.t.c

iyanuakin:


Okay thank you
Employment docs
Leave letter is available sha

LadyCaplin:
They rarely ask for documents.

Just ensure you can explain why you stayed that long especially if you're an employee. Above all, pray for favor including meeting a nice VO.

All the best and do keep us updated on the outcome.

iyanuakin:


Nope my last trip was my second time
First trip was in 2022
Second was last year 2023, had an extended time off work last year, so stayed 4 months… deep down I know that’s why I’m been called up for follow up interview,

Do I need to wait for for Dhl to deliver my passport ?
I didn’t get a mail just got the info on the portal, this friday is free for the interview

Rutherford2019:


Hmm
What will she tell them?
My wife delivered through CS and she needs some help urgently

Debbieeeeeee:

You may need alternative help for your wife because dates for B category are in 2025 and your little one has come. With B visa application there’s no urgency except you fall into the emergency appointment category and omugwo doesn’t meet the threshold for the exceptions.
