Hello Fello Nairanders, Please I'm impressed with the great Knowledge being revealed here but a friend has a serious issue and he's very devastated, Please I need an Advice that I can pass down to him.

He applied for a group conference , 30 in number and all got the VISA including him. They asked him few questions and then congratulated him, took his passport , gave him a white paper and told him to pick it up in one week ( Lagos)

After four days, He was called by the consulate on phone to come back for another interview..( He told the caller sorry he has bought he's flight ticket already ) when He got back to the embassy, they told him , they noticed he has two International Passports

1. Ghanaian Passport with Darko Issac

2. Nigerian Passport with Uche Isaac Agu

and they asked him what's up with that, as they waited for him to explain, they issued him a Blue paper and told him he has been refused.

The truth is he has previously applied for a US Visa a year ago in Ghana with he's Ghanaian passport which he was refused a Visa. Now he came to Nigeria and applied with a Nigerian Passport.. ( He has both nationality as mother is a Ghanaian and father Nigerian).

He also told me, he did not mention about the Ghana passport in the Visa app. Form.

1. Now please what Can he do to clarify this and re- apply again??

2. What are the chances of him getting the Visa Again??

3. How can he prove to the Embassy ? Note: all information in the Data page where the same both date of birth etc.

Please I will appreciate your advice as he is due to apply for the same conference in 2 months.

Many thanks

He need not bother re-applying as he just got seriously banned. What he did howbeit ignorantly or otherwise, is called misrepresentation and he signed that Ds-160 accepting whatever consequences/outcome of his application.

He should have just mentioned his dual nationality saving himself from his present predicament. However, he can also request to know his status from the consulate or embassy as the case may be.

All the best!

Effusiv apologies! *bowshead to ground
But even u sef notice the mistake after like 6 hours

LadyGuinivere:

The best help I can offer is to ask u to read from like 50 pages back. Somebody that had an interview asked the same question and was answered. Or use the search button.could be faster.

good day, I went for an interview for a B1/B2 visa today but I was given a yellow letter and the interviewer ticked the box that states that my application requires administrative processing and additional clearance and that no information or documents are required from me at this time. I want to know what could be the reason why he made the decision because I understand that two major reasons may be responsible which are the need for additional documentation or the need for security clearance and since he didn't tell me to provide additional documents, could it be because of security reasons? Also if they will call me for another interview because he said I can contact the consulate after two weeks to know the status of my application.

adeoladele:
