You Please nairalanders I need help...I initially went with a statement of account from a micro finance bank and was denied becos the VO said the bank is not familiar...Nkwni have this statement of account from first bank with an account balance of 153k only in naira
But the cash flow there is very high about 28 million...is this a red flag for the VO |

What you would have done is to ask on nairaland before telling your wife to come back to Nigeria to renew her visa. I understand you wanted to see your baby but your eagerness landed you the wrong decision ever (no vex). I hope your wife doesn't have access to this forum because after reading the replies she will be mad at you for the period she's in Nigeria with you.
I am sorry to say this, you gave your wife the wrong advice ever by telling her to go to Nigeria to renew her visa. She should have just gone to Mexico or Canada to renew her visa if needed.
She should know better since she is in the US. What happened to the international student office in her school?. They would have just helped her extend her stay by giving her new I-20 and there would not have been an issue. With this, it solves the problem except if she wanna leave the US, that is when she needs to renew her visa.
International student advisor is in the best position to advise your spouse and not you, Mr. Husband. You just mess the whole situation up. I will advise she contact the international student office, they should be able to advise her better. I hope she gets this resolved asap.
Seriously, I suggested it because a friend of mine wife also went through same process and came into the country and went back without issue though then they submitted there documents through Drop-Box and her Visa was renew. Infact it was a seamless process until the drop-box issue was stopped. However my wife has already travel down to Nigeria Also, a new i20 has been issued to her and she has all detailed of school fees receipt paid with a letter from there school on her visa renewal 1 Like |

Hello everyone. My fiance got her Visa last year which I posted her transcript here with a school but she could not go because of her mums health that gulp there money. But this year year she got a school again which gave her like 70 percent scholarship. My question is, Should she go for another Visa interview with this new school because we learnt that its somehow hard to transfer to another school immediately when someone gets to US or we should try to pay for a semester and transfer after? Thanks |

No one ever said coming back to Nigeria after one is done with schooling in the US as a mistake. This is a choice. I just said coming back to Nigeria to renew her was a mistake when she can go to Mexico or Canada to renew her visa if she needs to. Stop thinking through your anus oga. Abeg shift ojawe!

But is it a crime to come back home even for a visit? No be bad idea before ooo. Yeah some international students do come back home to renew their visas especially if they plan to travel somewhere out of the states. There was nothing wrong in coming back home. The only thing wrong was her using state funds for her pregnancy and birthing of the baby. What is the probability that this would not have occurred in Canada or Mexico? It is even worse to have your visa denied in those places than in naija  Also getting a visa to Canada even while on a student status in US is not a guarantee given the current trend of people crossing the border illegitimately. The husband did no wrong in advising her to come home... ha bros if na you nko? shebi you no go ask wifey to show?  She was already approved of her visa, na the hospital bills cause problem.
