What is the fiancee status in the US?
Does your friend has access to the internet?

Please house, I have few qtns:
1. Do one need to make hotel bookings since we plan spending 2 nights outside our contact persons domain? We intend visiting a tourist attraction in the bodering state to my aunt who is our contact person and would not be back that day.
2. We are staying in my aunt's place so she is our contact person. Based on US & DS-160 standard, does she falls as our relative?
Thanks.

Pls attend yo this gurus. Thanks

Sorry, 15th of July not possible. (It's a Sunday.)
5 days difference will not affect the visa approval, but approved visas need 3 working days minimum and you are advised not to buy the ticket until you get the visa. (You may just find that fares are too high at two days notice, or you may be extremely lucky to find a rock bottom price that close.)

Yes, do the hotel booking, that's if that's where you will be going first before your aunt's.

Your aunt of course is your relative oh....

mitchellia:


We are planning to go straight to my aunt in Phoenix, but our poe will be Los Angeles, CA. and on the last few days of our trip in USA. We will visit the two other listed tourist attractions in Los Angeles and catch our flight back to Lagos. Now. Do we need to state the details of the hotel we would be staying for the two nights?
Will I state in my own ds160 that my marternal aunt is my relative? What about my husband?
Also, the time lag between our proposed date of arrival in US and date of interview is 66 days. Is the interview not coming too early?

Thanks

A pleasant morning all
Pls a friend of mine has been invited by His Fiancee for a visit to The US,

2, And also sure he state Her as His contact in The US and where he would be staying?
N:B,it's going to be self sponsored
Pls i beg una
I need answers I beg
Thanks all

Use the address you will be spending most of your time in the US and will help your cause, and that in this case is your aunt's if she is in right standing with the US authorities, this helps save cost as you aren't using hotel and reduce expectations of your Trip's cost in the VO's eyes, you can easily explain what you intend to do in LA and your accommodation plans for it if asked during interview.

She's your aunt and your hubby's in-law, so she's a relative to you both. No the interview date isn't coming too early, it's in fact the best approach to visa pursuit.

Thanks so much for your responses. My aunt got to the state through visa lottery going to 13 years now. So I believe she is in good standing. Is there any other things to check for to be double sure? Please which website is the best to make the hotel booking for the few days to be spent in Los Angeles? Do one need to pay ahead?

darellone:
Has your US visa expired and you are being lazy to renew it? Do you intend to apply for a US visa soon? You have from now till Friday to pay the old visa fee of 64k. From 26th March, US visa fees will be 110k. Don't say I did not warn you.

Your stammering was your undoing as it calls for suspicion. You were even lucy to have a visa officer that disclosed the reason for your denial because they seldom do that

LadyGuinivere:

Exactly! Hd has his reason yet he prefers speculations. If only all the folks here knew the reason for their refusals

[Please, I'm still expecting response on this post I shared on Friday. Thanks for all the help.


quote author=mygladness post=66288833]Please, I need help. I have a sister who is married but currently separated. She wants to apply for US visa with her daughter to visit our sister whom she hasn't seen in many years. It is unlikely she will get her husband's consent to travel with her daughter. Please, what does she need to do? How best does she present her case in that regards? What is her chances of getting visa?

Thanks fo your help.

An Education Officer is on GL 08, of which the monthly salary is about 50k per month in the state with best salary structure. This is just 600k per annum.

If you're honest with yourself, someone earning less than 600k in a year won't spend a year salary on holiday.

cheldas:
Powerful house, pls i need your help.

I have paid for visa fee and my passport will expire in few days...pls what do i do?

Thanks for your assistance

Klincs89:
I have a concern. I went for a US tourist visa interview 9 days ago and was granted visa. However, when I wanted to track the passport yesterday, I found out that I had filled in the previous passport's number on my ds160 form instead of the new one which was issued to me since July last year. I have not been contacted by the embassy in this regard and the passport is still with them. I'm a bit worried cos I don't know what could be the outcome of my mistake. Please does anyone have an idea of what to expect or do?

Bros na lie be that oooo.... forget salary, he can afford it if he say so.

bigbus:


Have you tried booking for an interview?

bigbus:


You can go to check whether your passport is ready for collection. You can wait to see what happens eventually. You can write the embassy. (Perhaps you printed out now, an old DS160 form.

Both the confirmation page and appointment confirmation have your passport number. The passport number on your confirmation page is derived directly from the DS160 form, upon submission. I think that if it were incorrect, you should have been turned back at the take-in before entering the consulate. (Gurus, am I right to think this way?)
