What is this? Fulganiza for Vulcanizer? Person go fear fear for this thread today oh

don't highlight my errors broda the most important thing is getting my point

Thanks bro....I am not looking at that anymore. I will take my family to to some else for now
Any future US visa application will be through employer.

seyewest:

Infiosa, I know this must hurt and to be honest you have more than a good tie but one of the best I've come across in this thread nevertheless I think there's a problem with your previous application which may need correction, it's possible you may have misrepresented, if that's not the case then I will advise you to reapply ASAP... they will give you the visit visa.
There's still time and I will like you to get your messages/explanation across like you did here.
Good luck.

Okay sir, sorry....

Infiosa:
Thanks bro....

The Canadian route is not bad, it affords you the opportunity of stricter verification and perhaps will make that of the US easier subsequently if you are still interested.... All the best!

Meanwhile you didn't quite do justice to the questions asked in my first response to you. At what point was the interview concluded? What was the last question/event before the denial? What took you to the UK and Ireland lately?

It was decided when the VO asked if we had travelled together as a family and we both said yes. In fact my wife and I were so confident until d VO said she was sorry.

Could your educational background have played a fast one on you before the VO? You studied business admin @ ND and then BA History but you never worked with that and then you had CCIE (BIG congrats on that, we have just a handful of you guys in Nigeria) and work as a network engineer. Maybe the VO is thinking in line of your professional career not meeting up with your academic background, just saying. Was 2015 the first time of applying for US visa, have you misrepresented in the past? Your profile seems excellent for an approval.

From the VOs take and my observation here so far too, most times though, that is where they likely noticed or got confirmation of an anomaly, interview ends abruptly.

I have read here severally where nothing changed but travel history and visa was granted subsequently. One applicant I think only secured a Canadian visa and got the US Visa smoothly thereafter without yet using it to Canada despite previous denials....

Sure, it is a privilege not a right. I have decided to seek the privilege some else before your comment. Please don't be rude as I don't want to be nasty here. Thanks as your advice is appreciated .

KaptainAfrika:
Better. A VISA IS A PRIVILEGE, NOT A RIGHT. If they don't give you, go to where you are given.

No one is worked up here and I have decided to seek the privilege else where if you follow this tread accordingly. However....hmmmm!!!

KaptainAfrika:
A true tourist won't be worked up by a visa refusal. He will take his money elsewhere. #JustSaying

ayinkala:
Hello Gurus,

Please I need your advice......

*There is a space on the DS-160 form asking me to quote HOW MUCH one earns monthly in local currency (if employed)?

My own case is this, I work with skye bank and I do other side business as well with my registered company. Should I quote monthly income from Skye bank with the amount I am earning from my other business? OR I should just quote my Skye Bank Monthly income?

Please Advise as my interview is Next Week Friday and I need to complete the form and submit before Friday.

Thanks and I do hope to read from you in due course.

Declare and fill in cumulative income from combined sources there and break it down in explanation if it comes up during interview.

And if you are a business man with WAEC, go to university.
And if you are a master's degree holder, go for PhD......
And if you are a PhD holder, go and buy a university



I didn't know we were on the Student visa thread.

dubolog:


Approval and disapproval are being given 3days before interview by (egunu VO s that look through your form) u wonder why they call ur claim US Family before interview? Them don dey Judge already. Forget interview. Interview is to see through lies Nothing else.

Dude, your assumptions are from where please? Weird! People that submit their DS160 forms a night to or on the morning of their interview and are yet granted the visa during interview, how then do you fit such in?

Very valid points here...my conclusion is to seek for God's favour if one seeks US visa. God's factor is paramount in their decision making.

OmoBendel24:


That they refused him a visa while I got mine one time doesn't mean something is wrong with the process, there are set standards and rules the VOs adhere to. In your form filling and delivery at the interview lies some variables too aside our assumed ties. The Germans for instance have given him a long term visa before (I'm talking of an almost Ivy league trained entrepreneur of old, that was holding a 10-year UK visa, Canadian visa at the time, in and out of Asia and Europe severally, always on the move travelling, owns and oversees a conglomerate where he has people earning remunerations enough to secure visas for themselves and family, school and birth abroad), then he was given a few days visa on another occasion which he ignored using, the next time was denial, he then had to bring himself down to explaining without pride why he didn't use the few days visa before he was granted the visa once more. We all don't know it all, we mistakenly leave some ends loose unnecessarily in visa applications sometimes. Watch it carefully.

A legislator of note from my state and his family were denied UK visa back in the days because he felt his bank statement and office held will land them the visa, he didn't include most of the necessary documents in the application, particularly those of his family especially his wife's business/occupation proof, till he did it right visa was not issued.

Have you seen where someone sponsoring people's education in the US is denied a US visa for himself? I have seen, and it was caused by underrating the process and a sense of entitlement on his part! #Bad

oh god not again! since when did working in your educational field become a criterion for obtaining a visa to take your family on a vacation? was he applying for a work visa. You all should stop with all the unnecessary inferring on why he was denied. the fact is the if the US embassy is really thorough on investigating applications , they would know a genuine application when they see one regardless of whether the applicant has seen the four walls of a university or not

Tekecoms1:
Please how can i get a letter of invitation to the US with two kids? I just wanna travel to the US for me to get an exposure.

You don't really need a letter of Invitation but have you traveled out before?

Infiosa:
Thanks bro....I am not looking at that anymore. I will take my family to to some else for now
Any future US visa application will be through employer.

Sorry to say this but I feel you should re-apply like to see what another V.O will think of your application and I think your family prefer to visit U.S.

Feb 1st is available I think to end of the month.

Bro please, can you help me check for Abuja again

I don't think that's an issue... because I studied Sociology in school and worked as an Auditor when I applied.

Why are you so so bitter in your response?

I thought as much too! It's good to know the US application history of both himself and wife, maybe before 2015. His denial is so scary...

@LadyGuinivere ma, have you abandoned this thread for us? Your input remains priceless oh! Check on us here often, please.

@LagosNIV and @AbujaNIV sirs, has policy changed as touching your interactions with us on nairaland, are we on leave? We miss you guys down here too!

lol good thing u noticed. I'm actually unhappy for him and resentful about the way the US embassy treats our people. but trying to find justification in his denial is even getting me more pissed

U are very correct as my son will be so glad to visit Disneyworld . He watches Disney junior cartoons a lot. He teaches me those characters names such captain Jake and the rest. I no be butter nau. I do what I do for them. His mood was changed when I told him we won't be going to d US anymore. I have decided to take them somewhere else for now. They will definitely visit US in the future as I have taken it upon myself to build strong travel history for them to seek for visas with or without me.

Good luck bro... You're right because I'm watching Paw Patrol with my son instead of watching Manure united.

Valid points but nobody knows. We are just guessing. My concern is the reasons for denials are so generic. How does one work on it in the next application ? No one knows the reasons for the refusal. I have been refused before but reasons were highlighted and it further explained during d next application and I was granted. That's my concern and I am not bitter.

It's well bro. Don't be surprised you apply next time and you are issued the VISA without much questions once all your details check out. We see things differently and so do VOs. Am so touched about your interview. This should be my 11th post or on nairaland since 2007 and most of it on your interview. Don't give up on the USA.
