So unfortunate. There are stuffs some visa holders won't tell the public about the reason behind their visa revocation. If you claimed you'd return to the country at a particular date and you extended it by not notifying the appropriate office while in the US, it could spark the HLS's suspicion and such a visa holder could be on a watch list this could lead to eventual revocation. One of the reports made to the US about Nigerians seeking asylum in Canada is that, once they land in the US, they stay for some time in US to stabilise, after which they'd proceed to Canada through the US/Canada Land border. You said you'd spend just a few days in US and you end up staying longer before returning . It's risky if you don't inform the appropriate authority why you decided to stay longer, even though the immigration would stamp your passport with 6 months stay at the entry post. Again, some visa holders don't have any intention of returning to the country any time soon with their family, including their children who also were issued visa. The husband or wife would travel first to hustle , after which the children would join with spouse after the spouse who first left must have secured accommodation for them in Yankee. Meanwhile, the type of visa they had didn't permit them to emigrate to US, being a NIV. The immigration would monitor this without them knowing. The immigration share information with Airlines so, they know when you entered and also left the country. Visa holders don't know all these. It's very important not to flout visa rules to enable visa holders secure or renew one successfully next time. US isn't Nigeria where the fed govt doesn't know it's country's population and those crossing into Nigeria illegally. They love their people, unlike our govt who care less about Nigerians.

It's not hard

1) go to the website, open an online application. You can google or get the link through VFS.
2) if it's a family application, indicate that, so all the family files are opened under your application.
3) fill the forms and upload.

4) scan all the supporting documents and upload. There are different tabs showing where to submit what .eg. In passport, scan every used page of your old and new passports. In proof of financial info, put all ur financial documents. Anything dt has no tab category, put in client info.

5) Be as detailed as possible with your documents and have a strong tie to Nigeria. If u don't have good employment/business, dont bother applying for a visit visa.

6) Don't implicate urself by lying. Big lies like past visa denials or even little lies, like if u have N20 in ur account (or as emoluments) don't say ur spending N20 for a holiday. Doesn't make sense. Ur either lying or running away wt all ur money. Embassies hate liars.

7) There's a Canada visit visa page on nairaland. I went through most of the pages. Invaluable information, especially with arrangement and summary pages. Presentation matters.

8 )Don't lie.

Apparently, you may have relatives in Canada plus strong ties to Nigeria. Even if you don’t have strong ties to Nigeria, but have relatives in Canada, your visa application will be approved. If you don’t have family in Canada, there is a huge possibility they won’t grant you visa.

As a permanent resident in Canada, the visa consulate is oblige to give concrete reason to deny anyone they are sponsoring or inviting. There is also the possibility that the PR can sue them for visa denial.

So when giving your advice, I guess you have to be clear about it. Canadian visit visa just got even harder at the moment due to the incessant behavior of Nigerians.

That New York route has been in existence for so many years. A lot of Nigerians have used that route to enter Canada and integrate quietly. Canada needs people. They need refugees, but they want it controlled because there is a quota system for all programs and it helps them with planning decisions. Canada also want aliens for odd jobs because not everyone would do such jobs. However, when you have people rushing at your borders non-stop each day, you have to respond and that’s what they just did. Per day it is estimated that over 90 Nigerians enter Canada via the New York route and there have been reported cases of fighting in Refugee camps caused by Nigerians. Also the refugees stories and applications of Nigerians seem very similar and such indicates a “Human Trafficking Ring” that exist in Canada and has ties to Nigeria.

So a few bad Nigerians as usual have messed it up for the rest.

blackpanda:
Very good

They supported trump in a false attempt to antagonize buhari. Today they want to shed crocodile tears


Very good. Stay in your country and develop it

Exactly. Most of them travel to give Nigeria a bad name.

Has this thing happened to 50 people in the space of a month without genuine reason? If this is not the case then why this outcry, when will we move beyond gossip and sentiments?

Someone's visit visa was revoked and she's crying uncontrollably, it means she's hiding something, if her intension was ordinary visit then she will look elsewhere to catch fun

With the primordial mentality of most Africans , how can they develop a continent?

I don't know anyone in Canada. I put a hotel address as my residence. Your hotel booking will suffice.
The main criteria for refusals are lies, no home ties and bad travel history (like being banned from another country).

But no one size fits all, sometimes it's just the officers intuition. Eg. Someone close to retirement age, wt a lot of money in the bank and their kids abroad, might not want to come back home, so might be denied, even if they have good travel history.

Nigerians thinking they can lie their way to a us visa. Remember they are always going back to your application from time to time.

Real leadership selfless leadership can transform a country. Rwanda was more tribalistic than Nigeria and went through a genocide that wiped away a million people but one man United the country and has changed it tremendously. I still want Nigeria to divide though

You don't act or speak stupidly over this kind of serious issues, do you know what it takes to apply for Visa in US embassy, and to now buy ticket with your hard earned money, this is painful, this not about Buhari but about Donald Trump's policies, and the fault of Nigerians enmasse to Canada even when having a valid US Visa asking for amnesty this is so unfortunate and pathetic.

Amnesty for what is Nigeria on fire? Trump is doing what a leader needs to do, fix stupidity in his country when he spots one. Only countries at war and individuals in trouble can seek refugee status.

Nigerians going to Canada to seek refugee status when consular workers are walking freely in Nigeria is ridiculous.

Trump just fixed that.

USA does not want us again.

She says she's been crying because her visa was revoked. Imagine! The desperation to get out to the hellholx is real. Lol

It's a matter of time and Africans will have no where to run to except to sit back and think of how to develop Africa!

This is what I'm really looking forward to.

Nigeria’s economic and political crisis has spurred one of the largest migration flows in history.

Despite all evidence to the contrary, some people still support Buhari despite all the hardships he is pitting the country through.

If you are too young to remember ask your parents....the worst economic periods in Nigeria were:

1. During the civil war in Southern Nigeria mostly
2. Buhari's Military regime
3. Abacha's military regime
4. Buhari's civilian regime.

No other period in Nigeria came even close to these. Number 1 was a war. Abacha even kept the dollar steady at far less than 100 NGN. But Buhari? Haba Nigerians.
People are selling their children, open kidnapping, bandits, herdsmen, boko haram etc and you still want him?

International evidence shows Nigerians are running away more than ever. Until people start eating human flesh b4 we agree it's bad?

. I no fit laf abeg.our people are so funny I tell you. They coin their stories in a way some facts would be hidden. Remember one Engineer who said he was returned from US after trump took office? We only heard his sweet story of deportation and millions of Nigerians were busy castigating US. Whereas, this guy was issued a NIV but traveled to US with original copies of his credentials. The CBP discovered this inside his hand luggage during secondary inspection. But the guy never told us this. Invariably, he was going for a greener pasture which isn't a bad thing, had he applied for and issued the appropriate (work permit) visa

Metuh:
This is really sad.



Hope this is not in connection with the numerous crimes committed by Nigerians over there

Nigerians can not continue to act irresponsibly without expecting some form of backlash. Sadly, even the innocent people are affected by the mindless actions of some criminals.

Usa no good again abi watin dey worry us self

before nko? You never hear of Reps members who wan yansh some Yankee babe's wey dey work for hotel wey dem Lodge put! This incident took place during the conference US invited them to attend. They thought USA was Nigeria where they could molest, harass, abuse and rape women and get away with it. Those ladies harassed sexually reported them to the appropriate authority and the incident was referred to their Embassy in Nigeria. They subsequently invited them and revoked their visa.

This ppl are wise they give u 6months stamp at the point of entery and u spend 5months and 2weeks tell me what do u expect

Pearlyakin:
Trump-et at work.

The racist Trump is showing his hand.

It is the high number of those crossing into Canada, only to seek for asylum at the border. The Canadian immigration notified the US authorities. The only solution is what you are currently witnessing.

Make i find one better country in Europe go enjoy my vacation jare, Portugal or Turkey seem quite interesting than for me to reach Yankee after spending 364k on ticket and one immigration officer chucks me back to lagos on the next flight.

Drop Box visa applicants say U.S. is revoking and cancelling valid visas of Nigerians.

Mrs Ibidapo, who did not want her real name used so as not to antagonize U.S. embassy officials, said her visa was abruptly revoked by the United States Embassy in Lagos, for no reason after she was invited to the embassy and told to come with her valid US Visa.

” I have been crying everyday with no-one ready to tell me why my visa was revoked, I have never overstayed in the US and was there last year, without any incident, she said.

She is not alone. The number of Nigerians having such visas revoked by the US embassy in Nigeria, has risen sharply in the past months.

Dozens of Nigerians with valid visas trying to obtain a new visa for a spouse, parents or a family member, said the visa applications were denied, and theirs revoked for no reason.

Majority of Drop box applicants who are exempted from visa interview during renewal are now being asked to come for interview with most of them being denied visa.

The Interview Waiver Program (IWP), ‘Drop Box’ introduced many years ago in Nigeria, allows certain Nigerian U.S. visa applicants who are applying to renew a visa in the same class of a visa previously issued by a Consulate/Embassy in Lagos or Abuja, to be considered for a waiver of the visa interview requirement.

In response to Per Second News query about the issue, a U.S State Department Official in Washington, said ” The U.S. Mission to Nigeria has not cancelled the interview waiver process or drop box.’

” When we receive derogatory information that indicates potential visa ineligibility, we take immediate actions such as entering the information in U.S. government databases and revoking visas if appropriate, the official said.

With regard to revocations, the official from the Bureau of Consular Affairs, told this newspaper that Section 222(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) prohibits the United States from discussing individual visa cases.

“The Department has broad authority, under Section 221(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, to revoke visas based on information that comes to light at any time indicating that a visa holder may be inadmissible to the United States or otherwise ineligible for a visa. ”

A traveller to the United States from the Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos, said he was routinely stopped by Nigerian immigration officials and after series of interrogations told he would not be allowed to travel, except he provides a letter from the US Consulate.

The traveller said he went to the embassy to complain and he was giving an appointment: “All she asked to look at was my passport,” he said, referring to the US consular official. “She asked me about two questions, walked away, and returned saying my visa had been revoked. She never gave me a reason why.”

” I was dumbfounded and angry, till date no reason has been given.

Agatha was a holder of a two year multiple visitor visa issued to her in 2017. Since its issuance, Agatha would visit her relatives in Colorado. This year, in June, Agatha is preparing to attend the graduation of her nephew, who is graduating from the PENN State University in Pennsylvania.

Unfortunately, last month, she claimed she received a notice from the US Embassy Consular Section informing her that her visitor visa is already revoked. She is being asked to go to the US Embassy so they can physically revoke the visa.

One of those letters sent to this newspaper by a woman whose visa was cancelled reads: “New information became available after the visa was issued so that we must re-evaluate your eligibility for the visa. Therefore, you will need to re-apply for a visa and the officer will determine your eligibility at that time. ”

The Department of State through the consular officers is given authority to issue visas to foreign nationals. They are also afforded the discretion to revoke and cancel visas after they have been issued, said an Immigration Attorney based in Nebraska.

“The visa holder’s request for reconsideration of the revocation has been eliminated in 2011 regulations. It also allows the consular officer to revoke the visa without notice if it is “impracticable” to notify the visa holder.

Douglas Ellice, former Border Security Specialist at US Department of Homeland Security (2003-2014), said , ” It sometimes happens that it is discovered AFTER a visa is put into a traveler’s passport that the person is ineligible for the visa and ought no to have received it. An effort will be made, often unsuccessfully, to contact the person before they fly to the USA and ask them return to the embassy for physical cancellation of the visa.”

” DHS data systems will quickly know of the issuance and revocation. If the traveler attempts entry into the USA they will probably be denied admission and sent home, Ellice said.

Per Second News findings indicate that, consular officers are given the authority to revoke visas immediately while considering facts determining grounds for ineligibility. This is called the “provisional revocation.” Generally, notice of revocation shall be provided to the visa holder but only “if practicable.” This means that even if the visa holder is not yet notified, his visa may be considered revoked provisionally. Whether or not the visa holder is notified, once the revocation is entered into the State Department’s Consular Lookout and Support System (CLASS), the visa is no longer valid for travel.

Femi Olaniyi travelled to Los Angeles on February 21 with a two-year multiple entry visa. He says the experience proved to be an ordeal.
“When I got to the point of entry at Los Angeles Airport, an immigration officer interrogated me.” “He said I should come for biometric (tests) to check whether I have any criminal offence. I told him that I’m not a criminal and that he should go ahead.”
“Later, he brought some documents for me to sign and I told him that I would need to read before I sign. He quickly withdrew the document and put me in a cold cell. From there he held me for four days. He collected all my phones so that I would not get access to my family. He later revoked my visa and sent me back to Nigeria.”

Each year it has become increasingly complicated to obtain visas for some people who are truly deserving. Fraudulent applications as well as abuse in the use of nonimmigrant visas are the reason for the stricted regulations.

In a video released last week by Per Second News, Canadian Immigration officials said a large number of Nigerians who enter the U.S., on tourism visas do end up applying for asylum in Canada through the land border they share with the U.S.



Diplomatic cables sent during the reign of former Secretary of State Rex W. Tillerson to all American embassies instructed consular officials to broadly increase scrutiny.

The directives asked American embassies and consulates around the world to identify certain groups that should get extra scrutiny when they apply for visas.

This directive also instructs U.S. posts overseas to review the social media accounts of visa applicants, even if the applicant otherwise qualifies for a visa, those identified as meeting the criteria would require additional scrutiny and possible denial.

Nigeria’s economic and political crisis has spurred one of the largest migration flows in history. The result has been a massive exodus of Nigerians to Libya, Ghana, South Africa, China, India, United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Malaysia, Singapore, EU nations and many more. Independent groups estimate that 1 million to 2 million Nigerians have fled the country in recent years.

http://persecondnews.com/2018/05/drop-box-visa-applicants-say-u-s-is-revoking-and-cancelling-valid-visas-of-nigerians/

This is nothing new. A visa is not an automatic entry permit to a country. It gets you as far as border and customs. When you get to that point at the port of entry, you still have to demonstrate that you have a legitimate cause to enter the country and a definite plan to leave. If those are not establish, your entry can be barred.
The fact that you invite your virtual nairaland friend over to your house does not mean you will open the door for them when they knock on the door.

That New York route has been in existence for so many years. A lot of Nigerians have used that route to enter Canada and integrate quietly. Canada needs people.

Also the refugees stories and applications of Nigerians seem very similar and such indicates a “Human Trafficking Ring” that exist in Canada and has ties to Nigeria.

So a few bad Nigerians as usual have messed it up for the rest.

Bro it was on nairaland we read how a multi-million business man decided never to have his business in Nigeria again because of frustration from different angles. Example the customs. The truth is this country is not ready for development. It is frustrating especially for those with brilliant ideas.

Then develop other neighbouring Africa countries. Me think it's even better to do business there and live like a king as those few Americans who bring few dollars, take bank loans and build businesses all over while living like kings whereas back in them countries, they are middle class earners.

Good day my fellow nairalanders,is there a probability that this revocation issue will also happen to the next applicants, because am also attending my interview on next month (July 25) i am applying for visiting visa.
Pls put me through.
