This is a public forum, everyone is entitled to his/her belief, these words are too heavy!

LadyGuinivere:
Can you remember reading transcripts where folks were saying one thing to the vo and thinking something else?

All I'm saying I let's not knock people's beliefs. While I may not do what he did prior to and during the interview, I won't criticize. Even If he wants to believe feathers and eggs will do the trick, na e Sabi. The main characteristic about faith is that it is illogical.
If the reader here is too lazy to analyze transcripts as take out points salient to them, it's on them. Who knows? Going to redemption camp may become the next big thing.

A little tolerance and less opinion superiority complex could go a long way. Anyways lemme relish the Ugba and Pammie I just wack

@stingy BR come chop

Good day all

I am currently applying for a B1/B2 visa. My intended travel date is August 13 and the next available apointment date on their website is around July 30.

1. Will the time left (7 months by the time of the interview) on the passport reduce my chances or should I get another passport?

2. If I decide to renew, can I schedule an appointment with the current passport no. and go for the interview with both current and new passports?

3. Can I renew even though I still have more than 6 months? (Their website says I can but we know our people)

I am yet to submit the DS160 form but I've made payment using my current ppt no. I don't want to make any mistakes as I have been refused before (2014; 214(b)).

I'd really appreciate everyones advice and suggestions.

Thanks in advance

I will advise u to just apply as family vacation for summer. Rather than telling the VO that y company gave u return ticket. (This is to avoid unnecessary questions) just apply as family.
Get ready to answer some questions from VO like: Av u gone on family vacation before?
First, u schedule y appointment for 4 of u, fill the DS-160 very well, book hotel reservation, give a good profile of your work and yr wife own. Prepare for the interview. All d best

Hello all,

I've read through this thread and I say Kudos to the creator. I work with a Greek Company here in Lagos and I've been offered a return ticket for my spouse and I to the states, the thing is we want to go with our two boys and we will be paying for their own tickets. For travel history, I've been to Greece before and my older son's been to Dubai and that's it. How can we go about this please, I need a bit of guidance as I've been rejected before in 2004 for not having strong family ties and now we all want to make this trip together.
Thanks in advance.

LadyGuinivere:
Hmmmm
Permit me to offer my humble view.
True. The guy's profile kicked "behind "
True. He had ties.
True. Attaching spiritual beliefs to material items borders on idolatry or is plain idolatry....

However, let's not forget every one has a point of view. His style of passing across his message and his beliefs remain that.... His.
He sees his visa as being orchestrated by God. The next fellow out there who reads his transcript and does not put all the factors of the guy's circumstance into consideration, na for e pocket.
Again, let's not forget, there are people with more impressive profiles that have been refused.
Search for hundreddollarbill's posts....

onyxo76:
glad you commented on this lady G ,now lets get some things straight.

1. I did not attach any faith to a bow tie, as fate would have it the VO who interviewed me had a bow tie just like mine...call it coincidence
but that was the instruction. Maybe it was designed to happen that way but it did, I was facing booth 8 and 7 but the lady told me to stand in front of booth 3 instead. Well maybe it was meant to happen that way too.

2. i did not go to redeem camp because of favor but because i found it convenient to pass the night there and continue the journey the following morning.

3. True i had strong ties no doubt ,but i have seen fellow half russian folks like me denied several times.

of course i don't except for most to believe in all these, but saying that its superstitious etc is rather uncalled for.

John Terry the former chelsea player is probably the most superstitious player i have come across, he must wear a particular type on shin guard before he plays,must park his car in a particular spot in a car park etc...before a game. yet i don't blame him. For some of us the God factor has played vital role in several aspects of our lives and lets respect that.

Christian folks who are deeply spiritually discerning would understand what transpired in that interview.

onyxo76:
Still i will appreciate all those who commented and criticized on the transcript, i'm not offended in any way ,we are all here to learn form each others' experiences that is why this thread exists in the first place.

LadyGuinivere:
Ummmm.....
Kindly re read my posts.
I am of the opinion that whatever you did or believe in is your opinion and no one should belittle your views.

Click on privious refused. She has bin refused previously. No matter if it is a year or more

OmoBendel24:
@Pipedreams; your interview hasn't come up still? Greetings

monchat:
She was denial beacuse of not given the extact monthly amount she put in her DS-160 application. And the amount she earns is small for an accountant, Atimes some of the VO evaluate base on this. She was the one that made the mistake, she could av just called the amount she put in the form for the VO. No need of explaining bc the VO does not check any document. She can only explain when the VO request for the payslip and sees her net pay, she can then explain to the VO she has additional income that she get from her business and state the amount. That is why I encourage applicants to explain, not just stand there and give short ans, explain, there is room for explanation ,the vo will not know if u d'nt explain. She was denial beacuse of her work profile. Let her work on it.

Secondly what the VO requested from her was passport not invitation letter, She could av not handed the invitation to the VO immediately. If the VO wants to see it ,she will request for it. Atimes this VO d'nt check letter of invitation.

My advice let her put the total amount she earns monthly that is 410. If she is asked then she explain. If no question on that let her keep quiet. Since is 410 she wrote in her DS-160, she can explain, that the last time she said 134 instead of 410, then she can now explain the additional income.

Then for that 3weeks let her make it to be 2weeks for vacation. She is taking part of her annual leave for vacation to visit her brother or sister. I just hope the VO will not ask her much questions about u ,especially the changing of y status.

Then next time when she is asked where she is visiting in the USA let her mention the state and the city not just the city. Eg. Where in the USA are u going? I am going to Florida, Jacksonvillecity.
All the best to her.



Of course yes I asked her and this is what she gave me me
Her: Good morning
Vo: with a big smile Good morning . Passport pls
Her: she handed over her passport her invitation letter the copy of my American passport and that of my wife.
Vo: where in the United States are you going?
Her; Jacksonville Fl
Vo: how long are you staying
Her: 3weeks
Vo: what do you do and what’s your monthly income
Her: I work with Luth as an accountant and I make 134k
Note: she put 410k because of her bizness while filing the d 160 form but failed to explain to the vo.
Vo: smile
Have you travelled before?
Her: yes I have been to Dubai for 9days
Vo: typing and hand her the blue paper .
She asked me to resend the letter and notarize it for her again so she can apply again in September. What do you think is wrong ?

seyewest:
The way I see it.. I don't see her coming back to Nigeria... That's my opinion anyway.

Pls want to schedule an appointment for my sis. When I tried to picked the date they ask if av been refuse for the last 6months. Meanwhile the she was refuse almost a year now so am confused

OmoBendel24:
Really? So, what's that 6 months" clause doing there then?

Hello all please I need an urgent reply , I have been given a visa with my hubby and two kids to the US, however I will be travelling alone , as kids are in school and hubby has to be at work. I have even bought my ticket already .the issue is a Lawyer friend of mine has advised me that on no account should I travel alone if not my visa will be revoked that I should make sure I go with my hubby , he also said alot of visas are being revoked both at poe and transit please can someone confirm this

Iyayoyo:
Encourage her to lie that part I don’t get the only question I asked is does it make any sense for her to say she got kids when they don’t have any plus everything she got in her application is nothing but the truth . One more question can she apply again with her husband or she should keep trying alone ? And will my status actually affect her cos I came in as a visitor back in 2012 before I change status . Do you think that ll b a red flag thinking she is a potential immigrant?

Iyayoyo:
Thanks once again so do you think it’s cool For her to re apply and book an appointment for August and September? Alone or I should just invite her and her husband?

teasty234:
Pls. Am confused again. Pls which one should I click. She was refuse last year august.

The whole family is been invited for summer by y uncle. To me it looks some how. Who will be their tie bk home? Not only that, they are four pple that one person want to host,even with his good job, USA no care and they will also think that y siblings might not come bk.
Why not your dad and mum apply first.


It is not possible for your uncle to go to the embassy and talk to them. He should not waste his flight ticket. The decision av been made by the VO.
Note that, if u book appointment for him, he has to pay to enable him pick available date. Why must u book appointment for him? He is not applying for visa now. If y uncle insist, tell him to call the embassy and table his issue. The thing I will advice u is that only y mum and dad should reapply again, then when they go and come bk y siblings can now apply. Parckage your parent well for next interview.

Hello,

my uncle invited my dad, mom and 2 of my siblings to visit him and his family in the US on holiday this summer. He won a visa lottery long time ago and he has a good paying job over there but the visa was refused based on 214b, my uncle just ask me to book him appointment so that he can go into the embassy in Abuja to talk to them because he is presently in Nigeria and he plan to go back to the US the same time with my family ( Dad, mom and 2 siblings). He gave all his document for them to go with during the interview but the VO didn't check any of the document he provided than their passport. Please house i would like to know if this is possible before he spent money for flight to abuja because no available date in lagos for U.S citizen service but there is one in Abuja which i already chose for him.

I would really appreciate everyones advice. Thanks!
