House please advice

If I put 10 days as my proposed stay in my visa application, but purchase a return ticket 5 weeks from my entry into UK because I plan to spend 5 weeks in UK. Is it a red flag for immigration and customs? Will they send me back?

Lion123:


I submitted on the 22nd. Last week Tuesday. God bless the United States of America!

Dampops:
I’ll say no…and I’ll share an experience:

When I took my son for biometric at the consulate last week, a man was on the queue for same thing. When it got to his turn, the officer said he is “not qualified” because his family (wife and kids) had applied for asylum in the US (Houston, Texas)…

I believe the reason he may have been told he was not qualified is probably because of the reason his family sought for asylum, for instance if his wife had lied that she sought for asylum because she was being persecuted by family maybe in this case her husband cos of domestic violence and she has evidence to proof it . There is no way that man will ever step his feet in the USA.

CM2003:
Guys please help, my US visa expired 13th of February 2020, been searching for dates for waiver since but no dates available. does it mean i am not eligible again since its 15th of February 2022

maflow:
Dear House. please i need clarification on the requirement for IW ''Applicant must not have been refused a visa since the issuance of the previous visa, or had a visa revoked, or have ever required a waiver'' I'm applying for IW for B1/B2 but i have been refuse visa for F1 in the last 8 months. Does this rules mean i must not be refuse visa in any category or it applies to the B1/B2 category. please your advise is urgently needed.

Bobority:
I’m still having the same issues after they unfroze my account too. How are y’all doing it Abeg. It’s still saying no date available and after about 3 attempts it’s says I am approaching the max amount.

NanaF:
My visa expires in March, if i apply for dropbox now but don't get a date before march, am i covered?

Thanks.

ENEMIESENEMY:
Hi Guys,

The visa officer made a mistake, and also says no right of appeal or right of administrative review. It says NGN 3,405 , but that is actually a USD account, and it's supposed to be USD 3,405 not Naira. Does that mean I can't ask them to review this, and I have to submit a new application?

Good morning guys,

My husband got his refusal letter 2 weeks ago but is yet to get a passport collection mail, is it advisable to pop down to the Ikeja Centre and check if his passport is Available?? And if it is, what time should we be there for fast response?

Also he was refused based on error made by the officer that handled his application. They stated he didn’t show his financials and his business and we most certainly did, we don’t have rights to request a review or an appeal. Please what can we do next? I don’t think it’s fair. We included everything, even my own 10 year visa and marriage certificate, his company’s financial statement with balance of 6m, his personal statement with balance of 2.5m, CAC, sale receipts, wedding pictures, hotel reservations, tax, but was refused based on an error we can’t contest.

Ibusho:
Thank you guys I just go an appointment now. Seems 3 slots are still available. Please can someone help me submit my passport and documents for the drop box

Good afternoon everyone,
I'd applied to renew my last B1/B2 visa which expired under 12months ago.I'd travelled on the expired visa for a conference back then in Miami&I didn't overstay,neither was I in breach of any immigration regulations.I thought I'd take advantage of the courtesy by U.S INA and renew via the Dropbox,however after about 15 working days since submission I received an email inviting for a follow up interview&stating a denial under section 221g with an attachment form with instructions on what steps to take.On the attached form were boxes listing certain requirements of which the only requirement that was ticked is the request to attend an interview.Also bearing in mind that the tracker still shows Administrative Processing online,and the conference I intend to attend will hold between 28th&30th of August.
Here goes my questions
1.How do I know what documents to attend the interview with as I'm unsure of what information must be provided?Employment contract,bank statements etc?If these documents are rarely examined and it's not been specified which to come with,what then do I go with?
2.Should I decide to schedule an appointment to still be able to attend the conference at the end of August,may I request for an expedited interview(which was what I got for my first visa)?
3.If my request for expedited interview isn't approved,may I still attend the interview to apply for a visa to visit the U.S for leisure other than the initial conference which would have already taken place by that time?
4.Am I required to pay another application fee?
5.Is there any other thing that applies to this situation that may be helpful to know about?since I can't even understand why it wasn't even approved in the first place.

NB:If this appears on another forum,I'm only trying to get the appropriate thread to get prompt answers to my questions as I've been searching all day and can't find the exact one.
Thanks in anticipation of some good feedback.

antonreal:


Just wondering bro, those are just the 3 things u submitted and visa granted? No invitation letter and the likes?

dcutey:


I'm also not sure about these questions. I'm thinking planned duration of stay in number of days is the total number of days you plan to stay in the Schengen region while the number of days planned in France for the coming year is the number of days you plan to stay in France next year. Someone should be correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks

lollyberry:
congratulations to u bro, but am confused o, do they ask for statement of account for family vacation

Kunle2030:
Hi everyone, i have been following this thread for months and its been very insightful and helpful..ill like to share my experience.

I have been refused a us visa four times before my this..i was refused 15 years ago twice when i applied for a student visa in lagos which was in 2003.

I moved to germany in 2014 through my wife who is a german citizen and we have 2 young sons.i have my residency here in germany.

So after i decided to try for a us visa in 2016 stating i was travelling with my wife and children and i was again refused for the 3rd time.

I didnt give up and decided to try again this year in march cos my wife wanted us to visit newyork with the kids.my wife and kids have german passports but i only have residence permit.

Even though i earned about 3000 euros a month and have a fairly decent job i was refused for the 4th time cos the vo asked for my proof of income and bank statement and when i gave him he said my balance was low and rejected me for the 4th time.

Stubborn as i was i decided to try again last week and saved up some money and my bank balance was healthy so i tried for the 5th time and the interview went thus:

Vo: good morning,place your fingers on the scanner

Me:good morning and i did

Vo:why all these refusals?u were here recently?

Me:yes i have been refused 4 times before now and the first 2 refusals were 15 years ago when i was living in lagos and never been abroad in my life and twice since i moved to germany and most recent refusal was in march this year

Vo:ok let me look at the notes from your interview in march..right all i want to see is your bank statement and payslips.

Me:ok i gave him

Vo: he looked at the bank statement thoroughly and picked a random payslip and said show me where this money is in your bank statement and i directed it to him.

VO:where are u visiting and how long?

Me:i told him im visiting newyork for 10 days with my wife and kids

VO:looking at me he said this is one of those 50 50 decisions for me and he continued to say that for about 50 seconds looking at me.he then kept quiet for a while and started typing and looked up and said how am i sure u are going to come back

Me:i love my job and it provides me a decent living and i cant abandon it.my wife and children live here in germany with me and i have visited many countries in europe and never overstayed.

VO:looked at me in awkward silence for a while and said ok im approving this visa today.pls dont let me down.if u go and return u will get a US visa for life and if u dont u will never get a US visa.take care of your lovely kids

Me:i was so emotional and thanked him for giving me the benefit of doubt.this was my fifth attempt.

Anything is possible if u believe and have genuine intentions.
This is a fantastic forum and it helped me a lot reading these pages even at work like a bible.

I wanted to ask if i could travel alone cos my wife 2 days ago received a letter in the post for her dream job interview and unfortunately it falls in the period we are originally scheduled to travel as a family and this is the only time i will be free to travel cos of my work.im only staying in newyork for 10 days..will it be a problem to travel alone even though i said in my ds 160 im travelling with my wife and children?pls guide me

seyewest:


Less than a month is not good... I will advice you to renew your visa and travel without fear... you can even choose New York.
