Please investigate this to the letter. Visa restriction also affects Chinese scientists as they are not even given visas when they have legitimate reasons to be there. Conference organizers are now rejecting participants from certain countries because of this. The exact reasons are not disclosed, but it has something to do with Donald Trump's tough stance on immigration. Even when you have a visa, that does not guarantee entry as the immigration police can send you back for flimsy reasons. I have even witnessed US police arresting someone at the port of entry and using scary-looking dogs to frisk people. I did not bother to renew my US visa and I hope nothing takes me there again.

That said, find out why they were pulled out of the plane. It just might be unrelated to the visa. I was once in a flight (with Nigerians) and they had to remove them from the flight because they bought fake tickets. If it might be related to visa, did they put in their applications themselves or they went through third parties? Get as much information as you can and I can help you with an immigration lawyer.

But they should have informed them before they took that action, it is a total disrespect to Nigerians. Can they do that to a Canadian or an English?

Yes, they do it all the time.

Is there any hope and will they get back the flight fee, at least a percentage?

They can contact the airline to find if they can refund them but first they need to visit the embassy for an interview

They might have been handed a flight ban without them knowing. There's a reason behind this which they're quite aware of but which may not be revealed to the public. I wish the family good luck in their quest to correct the possible mistakes made in their previous travels.

My brother and his family were sent down from the plane without any reason. A flight attendant approached them and said she received a directive from the US embassy that they shouldn't be allowed to travel. The lady didn't state any reason for this action. This happened 12pm today What can they do? The kids have been crying since.

I am living in USA too, recently USA department of state warns its citizens not to travel to Nigeria because of kidnapping, killings, and violence that may be the reasons. By the way which states are they traveling to? They mentioned Yobe, Zamfara, Adamawa as hot spots.

Embassy have the right to revoke or cancel your visa if additional information get to them after the visa has been released.

the ticket isn't wasted. Its valid for one year. They could still use it if there's cleared by the USA embassy. they'd only pay a penalty of 100usd each to validate the tickets

Then she needs to return to the embassy for an interview.. additional information might have come up after her previous inter.

Something she did not disclose during her interview

Wow! So they could not have contacted them before now to RFI. They wait till the family has exhausted resources and boarded a plane. This our country sha ... when will we be able to command a little respect from other countries? Ko da o. God dey o.

OP, this isnt cool at all. I hope the embassy will give good reasons for this and maybe able to sort things out. I can't imagine how much the ticket will cost for the entire family. And the embarrassment being asked to get off a plane, probably walked them out like common criminals. Dooo!

They should even thank God it's not point of entry they got deported, it would have been worse because they must have landed in the USA but never entered beyond the airport... It's some issues with their visa application and interview, hope they didn't make a false claim that was latter noticed and they tracked them down and knew they were planning to travel that day

This is a really sad event.

Something went wrong. Nowadays, it's better to login on your profile to check status of visa before embarking on any trip to United States

So sad for your brother which may actually turn out to be you. The fact they spent last summer in the US means it is likely not to be something to do with what was said during the Visa interview

It is also not to do with you trying to relocate as some insinuated since you had already gone before and returned

It must have everything to do with your previous trip. The Visa was already cancelled and the US consulate are notorious for not informing Visa holders that their valid unexpired visas have been cancelled. Most, like you, find out when you attempt to use it

You need to go to the consulate and find out what went wrong but my guess is that you already must have a clue

Op, it is strange the information is coming from a flight attendants, especially on Sunday.

They should contact the Embassy first thing tomorrow morning.

Exactly my concern!

I mean, not the airport security, not the flight captain... An air hostess doesn't seem to me, the appropriate authority to carry out such eviction!

It's dicey... I'm compelled to think this is some spiritual thing... Stuff like enemy coming in the image of air hostess! angry

Have Nigerians respected themselves before expecting outsiders to respect them. Comparing Nigerian to UK/Canada, what a wasted effort.
