House ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo plz help.............

Hello friends, Please I need advise on what to do regarding my mom's Ds-160 application form. I lost my dad some years back and am supposed to fill in 1908 as his year of birth, but the ds-160 form currently is not taking any year lower than 1911. Note there is no option of Do not know on the date of birth. Thanks

In the case that do no know is not an option on the form, I will advise you to call the embassy for clarification.

She may not have any issue at all.
The visa gives her the right to arrive at any US border on or before the expiry date. The duration of stay may exceed the expiry date of the visa.
Its the date stamped on her passport that forms her I94 profile that matters. Its usually 6 months. If there is any concern they have at POE, the they annotate the passport with NOAS, NEOS etc etc.
If she's an elderly citizen, which I suspect she is, gong to tend to her daughter and birth of her grandchild, she will be fine.
What is her age (range) and status of the daughter? These are the only things that may come in play with CBP...

You're right and this is what will happen, I would also suggest she answers what was asked at POE, I believe everything will be fine.

There's nothing like 3 days rule.... Covid test must be taken within 72 hours before your flight... your negative/positive last for at least 5-7 days.

This was i think 2015 or 2016. I was narrating my wife's ordeal at Houston POE to a friend (how my wife went to put to bed in Houston) then he overheard our discussion. That was how he narrated his own story to me.
I don't know where his wife works but the husband is my colleague. The wife is a mechanical engineer and i think she was doing her masters in one of our Nigerian Universities then.

As you know 2015-2017 was the easiest years to get U.S visa till we spoilt it by abusing the terms of visa.
I doubt someone will get U.S visa now without good travel history and very good verifiable work.
At this point, God has nothing to do with it.

Hey guys, please can anyone help me with appointment date for this year for visiting visa? Lagos or Abuja is fine pls. This is urgent

I think what he is trying to say is your chances are low. But with travel history the probability is higher.

Of course there are people who got it the first time without having travelling history. A colleague of mine got it the first time without travel history and it was even for child birth. His wife and himself even renewed their visa and it was approved the second time.

When was this and what does she do for a living?

Good day my people!

Am a silent reader on this group and I've gone through many pages here

Pls I need some response to my questions

In 2014 I was denied 3times on F1 visa

Got married in 2015
Blessed with 3kids (A girl and 2 boy)
I have a house property of my own with Land Survey and Government Approved Building Plan documents in my full name

Am planning a 3week vacation for next year
I have no travel history
I have no intent of taking my family along
I have no single relatives in the US
I will be 37yrs of age by next year, when I will be going for the vacation
Please what are the other solid documents needed to boost my chance

What are my chances of getting the B1/B2 Visa

Many thanks in anticipation!

Since you have no relatives in U.S, why not try another country? travel history is very important to U.S consular...

Wanted to say communication gap between my husband n vo. But I like seeking advise, if u tink my response shd b denied under section 214, its ok then. Thank you for the response



If you were not given a visa after the Interview, it simply means you're denied a U.S Visa, there's no way around, do not play smart... the correct answer should be, I was denied a U.S Visa with my husband.

Try P1 visa but in this case a petition needs to be filed with USCIS . I am suggesting this since you are a professional Saxophonist.

Is he performing a show in U.S? You can apply for B1/B2... although lack of travel history is a disadvantage, it's not the end of the world....

I don’t think you understood what I wrote .No she stayed 4 months about 3 years ago so now she wants to renew and she heard that her 4 months stay 3 years ago might be a problem for her so she is worried. She has been to the US about 5 times but the last time she travelled 3 years ago she stayed for 4 months

I get you, what I was saying is that, she has nothing to worry about if she can defend herself and one more thing, I know she didn't stay in Hotel throughout the 4 months, hope she included the person she's stayed with in her previous application.

My wife and I landed at JFK on 23rd May, 2021

Me: Hi, how’ are you doing?
CBP: I’m doing good, where are you coming from?
Me: Lagos Nigeria
CBP: purpose of visit
Me: Vacation
CBP: How long are you staying for?
Me: 4 weeks and few days and I also explained why I have decided to stay for more than 4 weeks. I stated that it was my first time in the US though, I have been to most of European countries- UK inclusive and South Africa on personal and official reasons. I told the POE officer that I really want to enjoy it this first time. We both laughed.

CBP: Where will you be staying?
Me: Hotel, I mentioned the hotel's name in Manhattan and handed over the booking slip to him. He didn't actually check anything.

He asked me to remove my face mask and captured me. Then my wife's biometrics was just captured, no further questions were asked.

Bro i went online and saw documents in which they stated down for one to bring along with him or her.
Why i am here is to ask experienced people who have visited the embassy or who have gone through visit process either successfully or not.
About 4years ago my friend was successful ly granted visa via the cousin asking her to come baby sit her kids for 3weeks, she has lots of family based there in US oh and this my friend cousin has been there for almost 20years.
But she was granted visa. Everything for this life na grace.

Did she eventually return to Nigeria after visiting U.S?

Lmaaaaoooo na wa oooo... so in all of U.S she need to invite a stranger from Nigeria to look over her (da) daughter

fkj950ax:


There is no sample.
The embassy doesn't ask for invitation letter
You are too fixated on invitation letter and not listening to people.
At the interview, you will explain this to them verbally. They don't need anyone writing to them explaining anything.

When you fill your DS160 form, you will state your reason for travelling.
In the form, you will state who is sponsoring you
In the form, you will state any familial relationship you have.
You can't attach an invitation letter to your form, and as stated on this thread severally, the VO's chances of collecting a letter to read at the interview is 0.999%.

PS. There is nothing in English language spelt as "da". Stop using it when communicating anywhere.

POE Experience:

I just arrived the US via Lax airport, and as a first time mom I would like to share my POE experience. (P.S I read so much information on this forum that I got scared for months before my departure �).

I’m really grateful for the successful entry, and thanks to everyone that share their experiences.

There is no full-proof process to it... just put your trust in God and hold enough cash


I also wasn’t stoped by custom, and no on

Thank God everything went smoothly, I thought this thread was to make traveling and entry into U.S.A easier and to give you an idea of what to face at the point of entry..... Hope you have a nice stay and have fun.

URGENT PLEASE!!!

Please guys I need help oo, I dont understand what just happened. My mum's interview date was booked for 22nd April(tomorrow) since early January and I just logged into the website out of curiosity for re-confirmation only to see "cancelled" under status and it was also written that there's no current appointment.

What could have happened? I dont want to believe this is the handiwork of these agents, like seriously? And my mum travelled yesterday all the way from Lagos to Abuja for this interview only for me to see this  .

Am going crazy right now honestly, where do I go from here? I can't even tell her this cos the interview is for my brother's wedding coming up on July and the earliest date is 2022.

Please what do I do? She has the appointment confirmation page with her and I intend for her to still go ahead tomorrow. I need HELP please
