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?

I applied for US visa and approved for 2 year tourist visa in February 2016. I have used this visa 3 times.
I used it in May 2016 - I stayed in US for only 1 month
I used it in September 2016 - I stayed for 5 months
I used it in August 2017- I stayed for 3 months.

I never overstayed or give birth while in USA

About to go for visa renewal in December or January. Need advice from gurus in the house

OmoBendel24:


Yeah, you haven't overstayed. But the 9 months you have spent in the US of the 21 months since you first got the visa was for what purpose if I may ask? What did you tell them at the interview was job in Nigeria/place of residence when you applied for the visa? The answer to your question mostly will lie herein! It's good the CBP haven't had issues with you just yet, but this of course will hardly pass the VO's radar unnoticed or unattended....

Of these times too, have you visited other countries?

ojoduoludare:
hello house thank for this forum infact i do even answer so people question base on what had learnt here....my question is what document i need if a friend in texas is inviting me and all expenses paid by him, my wife and kids are here ....thank

Lamide123:


I stated my intention during the interview that I am planning to visit my kids (kids - 12 and 14 years old).
My kids are staying with there father in US (We divorced 10 years ago).

I visited canada last year while I was in US, stayed for 1 week. Canada visa expires in 2020.

When I applied in 2016 I was working as sales officer. I later quit the job. I have a business of mine run by my sister

MamaOO:

Ma'am, truthfully, you can only pray that you don't get grilled bases on the length of stay in the US. First visit was for 1 month, which is still okay. Let's say you left in June 2016. You went back three months after in September 2016 and stayed for 5 months! You probably left by February 2017. You went back again 6 months after again and stayed for 3 months. Lets be truthful, I am convinced you were working while in the US and I am pretty sure the VO will also think the same.

I am pretty sure you told the VO that you were working when you went for you visa interview.. they will ask you how you were able to leave your job and be on vacation for so long... Goodluck o

LadyGuinivere:

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

Zimzee:

@ladyG, thanks a bunch, this info is very appreciated. This has been bothering me. So if her mum gets to fill the consent form, we are good to go?. We have lots of family pics taken with her at various times.

Beautyaddy:


Lol! Her story is not adding up. She pretty much must have worked at least under the table like doing babysitting jobs or used someone else's papers to work. If not then how was she able to sustain herself financially for almost 10 months in the US?

Either way, she can go ahead and try her luck and see what happens with renewing the US visa.

LadyGuinivere:

Erm. Based on your story mma, if I were a vo, mere pictures wont suffice.
But what I know?

@Lamide, the process for dropbox is on the website. If you didn't misuse your visa then you should not have a cause for concern. If you did, then.... Do that you planned to do when you got to the this bridge

travelpoint:

That is true story. While in US I stayed with my baby daddy. I didn't do any paid job either over or under the table. I look for job but I couldn't get one. Also my baby daddy doesn't want me to work. I don't have any reason or reasons to lie to you guys cos you guys are not the one to make decision. Just seeking advice

wanle22:
I'm sure the founder of this forum is somewhat disappointed with what most of y'all talk about on here, I don't read advises, all I read is judging, insults, badgering & all, which is very sad. Reading comments from people lole@MamaOO & @Beautyaddy makes me sick, condemning someone that ask simple questions based on her travel history. In ny option, this forum has lost its original purpose.

wanle22:
There! ( who kept buying tickets for her to go back and forth without a job ) Madam, how did you know she has no job? Do you know her worth / Status? That's one little thing about Internet that keeps F*ckin with me , everyone and their mothers talks by the side of their neck.

Zimzee:

OK, so pls what are you suggesting, letter from her schools both present and past, receipts or what do you have in mind. Biko tell me.

muyico0le:
Good evening you all, please I need an answer to this question...Please only ans if you are 100% sure...My fiance is a green card holder and we she coming home this December for our wedding, our registry will be in ibadan and that's what she will use to file my immigrant visa for me when she go back...Just someone called me that the only recognized registry is the one at ikoyi Lagos State that that's the one she should use...Please I want to know if this claim is true..Thanks as I wait for help

Efielu:
Good evening pals..

Please, I need your honest advice on an error I made why filling the Ds160 form online. I just realised that in the place of birth, I mistakenly omitted the town I was born. I only filled the City, State and Country. (Example: Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria).

But on my International passport, I have it written as "Town", City, State and Country. (Example : Ugo, Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria ).

I already submitted the form before I noticed it.

Please house, will this have a negative effect? ?

I humbly await your reply. . .

ladylco:


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.

May luck, grace, favour of God..... Follow you.

All the best

Zimzee:

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.
