If you want the truth... everything your kids want to see in U.S is in dubai... Try that first then you can apply for U.S visa with your family later next year.

Good day house.. I just booked my Interview for 9th of Jan. Am a lawyer and I earn good money alongside property management for my clients. I intend to spend ten days in Austin Texas with my male friend who is a Nurse.. Am 33, married with two kids..previous trip to Saudi Arabia for my hajj. My wife decided to spend her own vacation in Dubai two months ago ago with the kids base on the fact that she wears hijab and does not feel comfortably with the American attitude with Hijab Ladies.( no intention to state this thou) so she gave me the permission to spend the ten days with my friend in Texas. So am assuming my interview goes thus.

VO: Good Morning

Me: Good morning Sir.

VO: where are you going in US

Me: Austin Texas.. Tech Ridge precisely

VO: You know someone there?

Me: My blossom friend who is a Registered Nurse is

there and I would be spending my short stay with him

and his family

VO: why do u want to visit Texas

Me: Have heard a great lot of beautiful things about

Texas from my friend , its Night life and good food as well as lovely parks. I do love to also Visit San Antonio to watch my favourite spurs but definitely not in this trip

VO: are you married?

Me: Yes I have a beautiful wife and two lovely Kids age 5 and 3

VO: you have kids?

ME: Yes I have two lovely kids and expecting the third child by July. ( just giving sufficient reason to come back )

VO: what do you do for a living

Me: Am a lawyer and I run my own firm alongside

property consultancy. I have my client base.

VO: what's you monthly salary?

Me: 375k after tax inclusive of monthly charges on

property I manage for my clients.

VO: Have you travelled out of the Country before?

Me: I traveled to Saudi Arabia Last year for my Hajj

Note: All information supplied are genuine info. Do I stand a chance? Would appreciate seeing your corrections now than when the blue paper is in my hand. God bless you all .
...Will advise you to emphasise on the part that your wife is pregnant and will not be able to accompany to the USA...if you can her present there to prove a point to the VO....I think that will do...I guess am on track fellow nairalanders

4. If you wish to do the right thing, apply for a US VISA AND FILL IN THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH, in the space provided for letting them know you have lied, fill in the truth. THIS DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT YOU WILL GET A VISA, IT JUST AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW THAT YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN LYING TO THEM AND WISH TO RESTORE YOUR CREDIBILITY.
5. Travel to a lot of countries and check back in 10 years, which is usually the highest for non-permanent bans. IMHO

Good day all, Nice work here I really appreciate this. Please I need a clarification, my schedule date is 6th December, that was the earliest I could get when I submitted my application and I plan a 10 days family vacation starting 19th.

Travel history.........looks good

Finance.........Looks good


Chances.....Looks good (but no one can say for sure)

Possible questions.....No one can tell you that. Read this thread.


Good luck


Note to all Non immigrant visa holders:
Never be tempted to overstay your visa for any country. It's never worth it.

I am not a guru but I'd chip in.
The VOs suggest you make your visa application well in advance of your proposed trip so that you don't start panicking when any unforeseen delays occur.
However, this plays no part in whether you qualify for a visa or not.

Not like visa can't be issued to people with no travel history.
From the transcripts I have read from part1 to part3, I saw were visas were given to holders of virgin passports without any travel history. Your wife is a fashion designer, what is her average monthly income? Then aside your 370k salary, do you have a secondary source of income? Because you need to convince the vo of your family's ability to cater for the trip. Then what becomes your home tie when you travel with all your family? These are the things you need to have answers to. My humble opinion though. The gurus knows better.

Good evening All,

I have been a silent reader of this thread. I have just registered an account so I can be fully part of the house.

Please, I need your advice my people ooooooo.

I am a single lady, works and earn good salary (350k) monthly.

I am in the process of completing my Ds160 form online. In the space where they asked who is "paying for your trip" , I want to put SELF, but my Uncle whom I intend visiting is insisting I should fill in his name and details there.

It all seems to me that the VO will be thinking that I can not sponsor myself despite my good income.

Please, has anyone who genuinely earn same or above salary with me allowed his or her relative to pay for his or her trip?


Please, experienced gurus in the house should please help a sister out ooo... I no want make any mistakes jare!

I will advise you put yourself as the sponsor becos you are an adult and have a good job. Oyinbos don't believe nig have vacation culture talkless of being sponsored just to go on holiday not by your spouse but an uncle for that matter! They see us as potential immigrants.

You can put yourself as the sponsor, this should not stop your uncle from sponsoring the trip when you eventually get the visa.

All the best

Fill your forms as truthful as possible and state clearly ur purpose of visit, answer your questions confidently and you might get the visa, we've heard families here with no travel history obtain visa.

Hello house.......please I need your advice, I got married 10yrs ago, and 2yrs into my marriage one of my sis in law who is separated with her hubby pleaded with me to help her care for her then 4year old daughter that she needed to get her life back. Its been 8yrs now, the girl is 12yrs now, she is like my own child, some people thinks she is my biological child. The question is can I include her in my family application since she is not biological to me.
I know I am not gonna tell all this stories to the vo cos I may not be permitted to. Is possible to take her along and if yes, what steps should I take.?

Is she your ward? Yes
Is she your daughter? No. That would be misrepresentation
If she had been formally adopted, then you can fill that.
Don't get it mixed up. So no you can't fill her details as your daughter.
You can travel with your ward that is legally under your care. Is her mother dead? No. So she can sign a consent form.you can also take along anything that shows proof that she's been living with you

Please can you list a country you had a stop over as one of the countries you have been to in U.S. visa application. For example, if you are coming from UK through air france and you had a stop over in france can you list U.K. and France as countries you have been to? Thanks

No sir
Technically you didn't enter the country
You didn't get a visa
You didn't demonstrate that you can be trusted with that country's visa

I sincere appreciate the initiator of this thread and all those answering our questions, God bless you.

My brother has invited us I, hubby & 2 kids to the us and he's also sponsoring as we cannot even afford it, our salary isn't that good.
My question is this,
1. when filling the form, do we fill my brother as the sole sponsor which is actually d case or I and hubby as d sponsor? Do the Vos frown at sponsoring working class adults?
