I understand jare... Money has a tendency to "flow" and not remain stagnant...lol.

I think it depends on how soon you want to reapply...and when you are due. You do need to show that the funds are readily available to you when you are travelling so if your due date is still far, I think you can re-fix the funds if you still have up to six months or maybe change some to dollars and put in a dormaccount if you have one.

All the best.

i am filling the application now and i will be due early August but intend to travel in july. next available date for interview is 14th may.

Baba God help me o. My date is fast approaching. Next week!

too many denials lately. Go armed with what you've learned from here. Dispel any form of negative thoughts or doubt concerning it. Let it be the last thing on your mind before you drift off to sleep every night and the first thing when you wake up in the morning. Wake up happy feeling that you have already received it. Stay positive..The universe will bring it to you.

KaptainAfrika:
1. Travel to other countries as a family.
2. Your salary in the eyes of the VO may not have been able to sustain your trip.
3. It may have something to do with your prior application, did you fill something different from the previous applications?
4. You were asked a YES or NO question. There are also questions that would require for you to clarify. Also only answer what you are asked.
5. Its not a good sign when someone is correcting you on an information, you are meant to know e.g. where you work.
6. Leave the US for now. Go somewhere else as a family. You need to increase your chances without looking desperate.

thanks for being there for me. i will stick to these words, as to your numb 3 question, i actually believed i filled somethings different from when i first applied.

USguest:
Good evening great minds. Finally i was able to register. I had ny interview on 29th January at VI..the transcript went as follows:

The day was so harsh..many blue papers were flying and i was too relax i was hoping to get my visa approved. My wife and myself runs a busy schedule and she is pregnant. We gor married August 2017. We both can't travel together for now as we have projects at hand even though we plan it towards Dec 2018. I just wanted to take the advantage so as for easy application for her and future baby!

Apart from what you said about your wife, that Tanzania visa is a big disadvantage for you because there's a lot of fake Tanzania visa in circulation and the U.S embassy are always looking out for it especially for someone who traveled to only Tanzania and Ghana by road.

khemme:

Dear All,

Please lovely people, please can someone share some insight about my issue

I am attending my graduation in the USA after completing my online MBA with my mum and I kindly seek your opinion on the following
1. Please what detail should I fill in : Address where you will stay in the U.S.? is it the school's address or the hotel I will lodge's address?
2. Also how do I link my mums application with mine so that we are both interviewed together?
3. I have uber apart from my normal work so what should I provide in the salary section? should I add the monthly uber money with my salary or only my salary?

Thank you

opethom:

For someone who got a denial before, what should he put as explanation for denial when filling a new ds 160?

Why not state the genuine reason because as u can see exams for your kids would be starting earnestly and they should be rounding up before your departure date, so take that into consideration, for your wife u can use her business depends on what she is into, if na office, she is not due for leave now as she just went for a conference last two weeks, at so and so but when she is due she would be joining u soonest

d4kesh:

I saw her too. Hope you got yours and what were you wearing?

I got mine too, would try to post my transcript soon. I am just a 'silent' reader on nairaland though.

No accommodation if your ticket is a promo ticket. You are entitled to an accommodation for a layover over 8 hours. Go to arrival counter, present your ticket and get an accommodation voucher. Again, this is for non-promo ticket.

If you are flying Business Class you will have access to the Al Mourjan Lounge....it has all you need for a long layover...a la carte menu, buffet, showers, family rooms, quiet rooms, business centre and prayer room.

If flying in Economy and you have One World Sapphire Status, you are entitled to the Oryx Lounge next door...not as nice but pretty good.

Alternatively, you can book to stay at the airport hotel (pricey) which is airside at HIA meaning you will not have to clear security...the airport is one of the best in the world....Enjoy your trip.

Thanks alot @skydude

A husband with a wife and three kids. If you are going for a conference, its understandable but if its for vacation, the VO might be concerned about your financial ability or worse that you wish to illegally migrate to the US.
Why are you actually going alone? the answer to that is what you should tell the VO, if you are asked, it would be more believable than saying your wife is afraid of flying...what if she appears for a US interview and its on record that she's scared of flying?
So just say the truth as to why you are going alone. You have strong ties to Nigeria anyway.

You asked him to state the genuine reason
Then you go ahead and feed him with suggestions of that he should say.
Tomorrow when the vo has finished reading the klegged answers and refuses him, he'l be asking " what went wrong "
These are the things that " went wrong " even before the interview. In the bid to " help" always consider if it's the truth and if your advice will be more harmful than beneficial.

@op why is your wife not going with you? Why are you asking? We dey your house? Rehearsed and untruthful answers are just annoying to hear. Those that have sat in the interview halls and heard all sorts will tell u that
