Looks unseen and not clear to me, not really seeing what could have gone wrong. This is the annual OTC in Houston every May, right? You guys didn't discuss travel history? Are you sure of a proper synchrony between your replies and the form filled? Is this your first time with them? Any relationship with Canada? Is your company credible, especially with past experiences with the embassy? I don't think single parenthood worked against you either. Dunno!

But I believe the inner workings of the process has something on you and your application....

vibrant99:
Free Conference?

"raised eyebrows"...

That means it is just a conference that doesnt make selections or any form of criterion.

Thats not very encouraging, but you have to attend your interview to know the outcome.

No travel history? Skeptical!

and sincerely , was it an agent that arranged this conference for you?

OmoBendel24:


I believe it’s this same conference the OP intends attending. It’s a huge and big one! He’s the one who needs to fit the bill.... I see he’s tried so far to a large extent to connect his field/work to the conference. Long way to go still methinks

bdamilare:

gimakon:


No connections here sir.
I have done things in the field of engineering, simulation and modelling and reservoir design and some other very serious calculations. Recently, my company completed something for Total their e-Learning portal. Of which most of these things were included there as well. A company sending a staff to study more is joining and making it fit ?
Is this how you pray for downfall of people? Just asking.

OmoBendel24:


Wondering though, where I just prayed for your/people’s downfall. Is English that difficult, is this a comprehension issue or what? I even deliberately went to the past to point you in that direction per adventure that person’s transcript and the discussions around that area can be of help to you at all. I give up on you dude! Suit yourself.

gimakon:


, no vez, interview is in 72 hours, I've gathered everything and that's why am asking questions here. Even went to extent of studying the climate and the longitude and latitude as well. As one fella asked me to... who knows.
I'm sorry, don't think it so..
Plz don't take it to heart.

OmoBendel24:

OTP as a conference is not an issue here, your qualification for the visa should be your area of concentration is what I tried to say up there, even commended your efforts so far, and admonished you do more. Why then are you worked up and sounding defensive? That says something however. Not a good one, really! I even deliberately went to the past to point you in that direction per adventure that person’s transcript and the discussions around that area can be of help to you at all. I give up on you dude! Suit yourself.

Good day house, anyone encountered an error while filling scheduling appointment form, ''unable to add applicant because some or all information you entered belongs to another applicant."
how can one solve this error message?

KaptainAfrika:
An agent told you to do something, that you know is a lie, you still go ahead and do it; and somehow coming clean will remedy the situation. "YOUR CREDIBILITY IS AT STAKE" was what I overheard at the US Embassy in Abuja. The only currency you have in this US Interview, is not your home ties but your CREDIBILITY.

I currently have less than 100k in my account and I make small money in a month...


just wondering what my chances are and if my account will affect the VO decision

vibrant99:

credibility cannot out weight Home ties, What you decide to reveal about yourself is your decision, not a crime.
it is when you are not something and you say you are, or try to exaggerate your situation, which may favor you, this also fall within all things about the application..
Travel history
Ties
Educational qualification
Work

it is possible you add or remove , but home ties? How do you exaggerate it?

Hello Nlders and the gurus in the house.

Please i would like to ask a question. If one just got a visa, intending date of travel is May, and the passport is expiring in June. Please what do i do? do i need to get a new passport before travel, and if that is the case, the old passport would have been cancelled with out prejudice, does this affect the valid visa in it? please advise on how to approach this.

thank you.

Baphil:
Hello everyone, good morning. Please a quick question in need of an urgent response. When a husband and wife apply for UK Visa, and they prefer their passport to be returned by courier. Do they pay for only one post or does it have to be 2 postages. I was thinking since they are a family and it’s going to the same address, one postage fee will do for both of them.

KaptainAfrika:
IF CREDIBILITY CANNOT OUTWEIGH HOMES TIES, WHY THEN ARE PEOPLE WITH STRONG HOME TIES, SOMETIMES, REJECTED - credibility. If home ties was all that matters, everyone who applies and has strong home ties, would always get the US Visa.

What you decide to reveal about yourself, is your decision, yes, but hiding material facts - that's a crime. This affects your credibility.
