Nazah:
Hi everyone,
Please I need your help.
My family was issued US B1/B2 visa and we travelled the first time and returned without issues. During our second visit, I went ahead of my family. On their way coming, my husband’s visa was cancelled at the port of entry and they were not allowed entry, nothing was said about my children, but they had to return home with their dad.
I came back and now want to do dropbox for me and my children (my husband has to go for interview since he is not qualified for a dropbox but he is not ready now).
In my children’s DS-160 form, one of the questions is: “Have you ever been refused a U.S. Visa, or been refused admission to the United States, or withdrawn your application for admission at the port of entry?” I’m considering answering NO since my husband was the one refused entry. Would this be ok? I need your advice please

Even though the children were not deported or refused entry... you must answer NO because they withdrew their application for admission at the port of entry.

lanrems:
Your friend can use the visa up until 16th of DEC without hassles. he will still be able to get the 6months stamp or lesser depending on the CBP in charge.
As for the 63years man advice is for him to apply later, embassy is not funny nowadays not business as usual. Your friend can enjoy the trip and buy goodies for the old man on his return.....my advice though!!!

I see no reason why they will deny ''Papa'' unless the father did not pass his answer across well... Papa should go ahead with his application.. he's not a travel risk.

MamaOO:
You sure about that? People who come here to birth here use it to take the kids back to Nigeria. I just haven’t seen an adult use it before. That’s why I put it here. The website says you can use it if you’re unable to get a visa. We will see Sha. We already put in the request.

Will an immigration officer refuse a baby entry (with a Nigerian mom)

MamaOO:
Abeg, I’ve asked this question on the give birth thread since they’re the ones who do this most. But I figured out, why not here as well?

Anybody ever used the visa on arrival option to Nigeria for an adult before? Nigerian passport is expired and to go to DC or NYC for a new one is a hassle. To get a Nigerian visa here is also proving to be an headache and I thought “why not, visa on arrival?”

I’ve seen it used for babies born here but can an adult use it too? Travel date is mid-December. Thanks.

You will need to apply for a business visa to be eligible for visa on arrival.

@seyewest and pros in the house, a friend's US visa was issued in 2016, it will expire in december 21, he wants to travel to the US 1st december to return 15th december, 2018, any chances of trouble at POE? more so, he also wants to apply for the dad (63yrs old) to travel with him for a new visa, whats the best advise?

It is at the discretion of the CBP officer to let him into U.S or not and decide on how long he will stay in U.S but instead of doing that why not renew the visa and apply for his father asap.... but if he's ready to answer a lot of questions he can go ahead with his travel plan.

maddock:
God bless you Lady G for you response. Someone said I was being salvage because I just stated the obvious which any sensible person would do. There is enough information on this threads for anyone to walk in, read and reach a conclusion on the way forward . I actually have so many people i have directed here that they quietly read and decide on the next step. Most Nigerians are so lazy to connect a simple dot and its can be so painful at times. Little wonder we see too much misinformation on issues common sense would state otherwise if applied.

If we (Nigerians) catch you...

OmoBendel24:
Well, Part 2 actually was about 541 pages.... So? We haven't started please!

We go still "rough" am small. Part 4 doesn't guarantee the removal of that "roughness" one bit, lolz! Make we dey carry go still.

but fight full part 3 sha

OmoBendel24:
They do, no biggie. US and Canada visas opens a lot of countries easily to us, both for free andbased on visa on arrival too; Mexico, Turkey, Dominican Republic, UAE and even South Korea inclusive. Explore more, you will see these

Bro did you just mentioned South Korea... Please what do you mean? do you mean I can visit South Korea for few days? bro talk

Amalahajames:
I know that you weren't trained at all on how to address people but please don't bring your mannerless attitude here, I also know that you have travelled round the world but please stay away from my post...

e dey pain you? What I asked for was to clarify your intention.

ninab:
I was allowed in August
I just showed return ticket
I flew virgin my landover was 14 hours on both legs

And you don't have a UK Visa?

Taal17:
Actually you may be. People are allowed on discretion of immigration usually for upto 4 8hours as omobendel said

Not sure first time travelers (especially Nigerian) will be given this opportunity.

Dolakinz:
Good evening everyone.. Please i really need your guidance..
I am a part 5 law student
This is my first time applying for a b1/b2 visa

I was picked for the ANNUAL WORLD BANK YOUTH SUMMIT in Dec3rd and 4th..
Also My uncle in the USA also helped register a day course in New york Lawyers county association for Dec 21.

However the agent helping to fill the forms said the WORLD BANK SUMMIT WILL not work for me as my interview date is NOV 29 and that my visa wont be ready before Dec 3rd for the World bank own..

However the three places he listed i will visit include
1. New york Lawyers county association
2. World bank group Headquarters
3. My uncles law firm in New york

He then shelduled my travelling date to Dec15..

Please what are the likely questions the interviewer/ consular will ask.

This thread is for people with U.S Visa

You mean you will like to visit visa free countries like Ghana,Togo,Rwanda,Gambia etc?

[quote author=ApcSucks post=72554162][/quote]Don't apply for U.S Visa for now... travel the world and do your research.

Yes, anything that needs the Amendment of the US Constitution need 2/3 of the US congress votes.

If Trump tries to do it by executive order it will be taken to court by the immigrant advocacy groups and challenged.

Nawa ooooo

Bossman:
Hmmm...this is unbelievable. No matter his personal issues, he is working, representing an entity, and has no right to treat you as such. If he does this with the wrong person, he will be reported, and will likely be terminated.

I live in Chicago, so I pass through these folks quite a bit. And my experience has always been pleasant.

So unprofessional and clearly racist.

Fyorgyn:
I have posted this in the birthing thread but just thought to put it here since it's a "POE" experience

I passed through the dreaded Chicago POE and had a very interesting encounter.

Wow... Blood of Jesus...nawa ooo

ugobent:
I've been looking for means to ask questions here on this platform buh to no avail.
Thank God i found out this night....my questions goes like this... my mum B2 visiting visa will be expering in mouths time she only stayed six months as instructed by embassy there in Akansas and she is back now.
If the visa got expired how'll she got it renewed?
Thr drop box process is it still much available there in embassy for easy renewa?

Yes dropbox renewal is still very much possible expect in a situation where her visa has expired for more than 11 months 20 days.

Amoj4682:
They are very strict now because Nigeria is one of the countries that have citizens that violate US Visa rules. E.g overstaying that results to illegal migration, working on a visit visa. Due to the situation of the economy some people have started working while on holiday so that they can have enough money to pay their rent and foot other bills when they come back.

Some people on F1 visa that has expired have refused to come back home.

Some people have even migrated but they have a valid b1/b2 visa on their passport. It is well.

All this makes the innocent ones get refused.

Na economy cause am. Some other african countries were listed too like South Sudan, Mauritania and others

I understand that you have issues with your self confidence and your need the constant attention to booster the one you believe you have.
I pray you attain inner peace one day.. Amen

Hnmmmmmmnnnn May God not allow us to be treated like a toddler online because of foolishness.

PinkSunset:
No, our interview was in Lagos, just me and my baby.

Yes i agree, any little mistake and your visa is gone. I personally know people that were recently banned. One guy i know went with a visiting visa and spent 5 months. Why on earth will you even spend 3 months on a holiday not to talk of 5 whole months? What sort of holiday do you spend 3-5months on bikonu?

Well, he came back to Nigeria, and on his next trip to Los Angeles, he was denied entry at LAX and banned from entering the U.S again. I asked him how long the ban was for, he said they told him that he's not entering the U.S ever again.

Hello house, I'm new here.
Planning to relocate with my lady to the states.

I'm into medical and electrosurgical equipments and I had traveled to few countries and also worked in Dubai before.

As for my wife, she had no travel experience. An agent said he'll work on 2years multiple entry for US. But I'm afraid based on some past experiences.

Please advise me the type of visa to apply for and hope I'm on the rightforun

Wrong forum... What you intend doing is illegal because you can't just relocate to U.S just like that... you will need to go through the legal/right way by looking at your options... You need to read and do research even agent wan leave naija.
