Bro. You've filled your application haven't you?

i am yet to fill the form, thats why am asking for opinions

customised87:


How much do u earn? Why dont you just sponsor yourself if u can? How old are you?
You saying ur hospital will sponsor u wont fly, same with your brother. Your job can serve as a tie if its a consistent and well paying one.

150k my cousin has stated in the letter that she will be sponsoring me i am in my Late 20's.my job is consistent and also well paying

nupital:

I want to thank everyone on this thread and also on the "Give Birth in the US" thread. You guys have been fantastic. I had my interview this morning scheduled for 9am . The queue was not as long as it usually is. My interview was very brief and straight to the point (about 3 mins). The VO refused the two people before me .

In the spirit of giving back and clarification of different notions, here is my transcript:

VO: Good Morning
Me: Good Morning
VO: Why are you going to the US?
Me: To witness the birth of my child and vacation with family
VO: Oh! Your baby - Congratulations
Me: Thanks, a baby XXXXX to be precise.
VO: Nice - Congratulations
VO: Is your wife already in the US?
Me: No. She would travel on the XX of XX (hands over a copy of DW Visa)
VO: Looks through the Visa and hands it back to me.
VO: You are going to Houston right?
Me: Yes
VO: What do you do sir?
Me: Work with Bleep as an XX (explained my functions in the office)
VO: How long have you been working in your office?
Me: XX years and XX months
VO: Okay. All your information looks good. ( then types for like 30 seconds)
VO: Hands me the white paper and circles where to collect the Visa. Then he says we should ensure we pay all our bills, collect zero balance payment and ensure we do not collect any form of insurance.
VO: Congratulations on your baby once again and enjoy your trip.
Me: Thank you and have a nice day.

P.S - The VO did not talk about my refusal in 2014, my bank statement, my ties to Nigeria or my pending immigrant petition. He was God sent! I give all the glory to God!

Then just sponsor yourself if you have enough funds to cover the trip, this will give your application more credibility than your cousin sponsoring you. Disregard whats written in the letter(the VO may not even read it), fill the application form and state that you will be your own sponsor.

i don't have enough funds to sponsor myself . That's why am putting her as the sponsor

kennycanny:



To me let her invite you first, although your chances of being granted is very small but it worth the try. If it come out negative , let her start d filling for you process , you can still try your luck a year after again (#32k visa fee at risk) will not kill a person of your status and it ll not definately affect the outcome of the petition negatively. So use the visa fee to risk not staying too long without seeing your wife.

Thanks for your sincere reply,but why did u think my chances are slim if invited?and if she becomes a citizen will that hasten d filling process?if true ,should she just start her nationalization before starting the filling for me?thanks

alapomejishegs:

How do you fail to see what's wrong in this statement?
U can't afford a vacation and yet you are applying for one. That shows misplaced priorities and folks with misplaced priorities abscond

mamaya:

Yes. Why not?

Nobody knows

Your chances are slim because you have a wife that is a permanent resident in US, there is a very strong likelihood that you ll decide to stay for good if granted the visa which is an abuse of d visit visa.

They have different classes of Visa , they try to avoid people abusing the visit visa route to stay in US.


I think the process of a Citizen filling for spouse is shorter than if it was a permanent resident doing the filling. So if the process of becoming a citizen is not too long its better she start the process immediately and latter file for you.

But It ll not do you any harm to try the visit visa first before she file for you, you can't tell you might be lucky to be granted. So that you will be able to have the opportunity to visit her as much as possible while you are still waiting for your residence permit.

Nupital

Congrats sweetie
And this puts my rants to rest as someone has just proven to us all that it is indeed possible to get a B1/B2 visa even when you have an immediate relative in the US.

based on the 2 cases, Nupital and tmeeto, we can confirm what the VO once said on the Non-immigrant thread that your answer to the first most important question goes a long way as it is usually your chance to convince the CO

I think the ice breaker was the fact that the CO values that special moment and will not like to deny the family that chance to be together while the little one arrives.

Me: To witness the birth of my child and vacation with family
VO: Oh! Your baby - Congratulations

Hello Lady G and Everyone here,

While putting all necessary document together needed for interview, I noticed that I omitted a letter in my middle name. So I filled another DS160 but you know have already scheduled an appointment with the error DS160 confirmation number.

So I mailed to explain what happened and also gave them the new confirmation code.

I got a response that 'the case has been updated, please log back into your account to view the details'

Does this mean they have rectified the issue by making my new confirmation code reflect on the appointment confirmation page barcode?

Please I have the new DS160 confirmation page but how will my appointment confirmation page barcode reflect the new confirmation number.

I hope you understand. Thanks

Log in as instructed and check your profile. If it has been done, email the appointment confirmation page to your email address afresh and print.
NB: Meanwhile, do you think it's fair for you to only be taking from here without giving back. You never came back with reports about how it went with you after you booked for a dropbox mistakenly instead of an interview. LadyG searched for that info sometime ago, I tried suggesting you come help and you ignored even when you were always coming online. Na so dem dey do am, e good?

You are not yet ready to travel to US

morning brothers and sisters, i have a sister who lives in American, been there for about 10 years now, recently she came up with the idea of getting me there, initially she was thinking i could come in with a student visa for my Masters, but my result is not too good for that, so we thought of other ways which are applying for same student visa as an undergraduate or making arrangement for invite, i think that's a visiting visa, but they both have their disadvantages, in terms of applying as an undergraduate, we considered my age, i'm 30 already,which i read on here that its one of the factors VO considers during interview, and when i applied for a visit if i couldn't get it at that time i would have to wait for some period of time before i could re-apply as my name would have been in their system according to her (my sister), i'm a novice in this traveling stuff, please i need advises from experienced and expertise on this issue,please help a brother, never read without dropping a comment (reasonable comments) cheesy your contributions would be highly appreciated.
