Well, the possibility of your ordeal is there. Mind you, I didn't even think of you relocating before till you just raised that alarm, felt maybe you wanted to go and visit him initially. It's adding up now, you got my mind stretched and calculating the catch big time. "Primary Applicant" may not really have reasons to relocate, but "oga dependent applicant" may have vamoosed (with or without you being privy to such, particularly when I give attention to that sentence "we have lost contact since the separation" and "divorce letter" dimension from your text above, just like that?), and that now is going to affect you and the kids application, the reason you seem not to know his whereabouts in defence. Lady Guinevere, lol, no offense. That's our way na, hence the bank of knowledge/tricks too. I pray make "we" sister and kids own pure if na the truth of her predicament she express sha ooo

@seksek
Indeed it seems your circumstance has changed so u should reapply.
Single people get visas.
Changing location is not an issue. U can't have the same dreams u had 4 years ago now. U actually don't need an invite per se. U could stay in a hotel. So that too isn't a Problem.
Just be honest with your answers.
I remember I was asked the location I wanted to visit the year I was denied and I couldn't for the life of me remember. And I said the truth- I can't remember.
Good luck

LagosNIV:


1) Invites don't matter. They are not required in the U.S. and the VOs won't even look at them.
2) Being single doesn't restrict you from getting a visa. Plenty of single people are issued visas every day.

I would say, based on the fact that your circumstances have changed so substantially and you have significant foreign travel, that you are 'safe' to apply in Lagos. But realistically, all VOs in the world are trained to the same standard in the same school, so while it might seem like it is easier to get approved in Abuja it is really all the same.
