Hi... Which portal did you use to reapply

I used the new portal

yungbilli:
Congrats, i believe you can submit in New York. I will advise you chat/contact the VAC in New York.

Thank you Yungbilli, will contact them upon my arrival.

olasubomy:
Big Congrats!

Yes, you can submit it for stamping in the USA. You can estimate 2weeks to have it stamped and returned to your US address.

The requirement and style of submission in the United States is slightly different . You would need to send an e-mail to:
info.canny@vfshelpline.com to advise you on the requirements.

VAC (USA) also has a platform where you can chat with an agent online - You would need to consider the time zones as regards their business hours. see link below:

https://visa.vfsglobal.com/usa/en/can/book-an-appointment

Click on webchat to chat them.

NB: Since you would be staying in USA temporarily, plan to send to Los Angeles for a faster response and don't forget to have your biometrics slip handy.

Safe trip!

Thank you for always availing yourself to help others. I have only 12 days to stay in New York before returning to Germany. I hope the time would be enough even if I send it to LA. Anyways, I have until 13th of September to do this. If it's not possible in America, upon my return, I would send directly to Vfs Düsseldorf.

Thank you .. I reapplied on the 15th of June and was approved four days ago.

letsfarmnigeria:
Congratulations when did you re-apply that was approved.
For stamping someone here in Nigeria said you can actually be walk in and submit , according to him , he did that in Abj and got it stamped within 2hrs I don't know if this option of walk in is applicable in Us maybe u may try it as this is of urgency

Hello everyone, I have been living and studying in Germany for almost 3 years now. I recently got married to a German citizen about 10 months ago. My wife and I decided on visiting the Niagara falls in Canada and US for our honeymoon. So I applied to the US embassy in Berlin in March this year and was issued the visa. Moving forward, I immediately applied to the Canadian embassy online via the new portal. Also attached our joint account statement and other supporting documents.
Yesterday and today I received a message from IRCC as regards my application status.

In Summary:
Application submitted: 17.03.2022
Biometrics: 01.04.2022
BVL: 02.06.2022
Application status: 03.06.2022 -- refused based on the following reasons;

• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as a temporary
resident, as stipulated in paragraph 179(b) of the IRPR, based on your travel history.
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as a temporary
resident, as stipulated in paragraph 179(b) of the IRPR, based on your immigration status.
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as a temporary
resident, as stipulated in paragraph 179(b) of the IRPR, based on the purpose of your visit.

We were actually surprised to see a rejected based on my travel history. I have traveled to more than 5 countries in Europe and I also have a valid US visa. Please I need an expert in the house to advice me on what to do next.

Hello guys, based on the advice I received from some helpful guys here, including @Olasubomy @yungbilli and others. I applied for my GCMS notes and addressed the issues on it, by writing a detailed letter of Intent in my second application.
Moving forward, I received BVL and PPR on the 13 of this month..
The thing is, my flight to New York is in two days time. Is there a possibility that I can send my passport for stamping in New York? If yes, any idea how long it would take?

What about Canada layover with a US visa. Does one need a Canadian visa?

ednut1:
us layover you need usa visa .

Thank you for taking your time to respond. I have ordered for my GCSM notes, waiting patiently upon its arrival. I would definitely update it here

olasubomy:
I am sorry about the delay in your application from IRCC.

The refusal reasons means IRCC doubts ties to your home country (Nigeria). Refusal reasons based on travel history and immigration status could mean the following;

• You have more ties to another country aside from your home country.
• There is no proof on file with immigration that you have a job or established business back home.
• You have overstayed your visa in another country.
• You currently live in another country and have been there for an extensive period.
• You are currently studying in another country.

This is not saying you are guilty of any of the above because we have not seen your GCMS notes, but to show you a few examples of the meaning of that category of refusal reasons

Once immigration has made a verdict on your application, the only means to appeal this is Judicial review. Judicial review is costly and time-consuming, and it is like taking the Government of Canada to court. This is not to discourage you if you want to tow that part but to let you know that hiring an authorised Canadian Immigration lawyer is not cheap. They can only do their best to defend you in court, but the final verdict lies with the presiding judge or jury.

My candid advice would be that you don’t rush to file another application. The best is to wait for your GCMS notes and give some time to build a more robust profile or strengthen your home ties before filing another visit visa application. You save a lot of money with this approach.

I wish you the best!

No, I don't want a judicial review. I have just ordered for my caipsnotes, via this website
https://status.caipsnotes.com/.
Thanks for your response

Blessed451:
What do you mean appealing? do you want a judicial review? I won't advice you to tow that path yet. You got a generic response from the VO, you need to order for the real officers note aka GCMS so you know the precise reason(s) for your refusal.

I think I really need to work on my letter of intent. Thanks for the advice and detailed explanation. I have just ordered for my GCSM notes, once it arrives I'd reapply again.

yungbilli:
I will advise you apply for a GCSM note. You will find out if the reason for your refusal is genuine or just some bias because you applied for the US and not Canada first or because you're not holding a german passport or wanting you to apply from your home country. I won't be surprise if basically you only need to work on your letter of intent explaining more on your residential status in Germany, Travel Itinerary on why you want to visit Niagara falls in Canada when you can view the falls in the US from the observation tower, terrapin point, whirlpool state park and so on, and you could also have the horseshoe Falls, american falls, and bridal veil falls view. I believe you just need to have your letter of intent air tight and have a detailed Itinerary from US to CA and back to Germany.

Please can someone advice me on what to do next ? I'm thinking of appealing the decision because I don't quite understand what they mean by "not satisfied based on travel history, immigration status and purpose of visit". I need your input @Olasubomy and other expert in the house.

Bonn2007:
620

Hopefully, you'd find someone. Tschüss

Bonn2007:
Lets say about 250k Naira. It all depends on the exchange rate though.

Can you do at 610/€ ? If yes, then we can trade here

Bonn2007:
Hello all,

I am in urgent need of Naira. Does anyone here have interest in exchanging Naira for Euro? Thanks

How much Naira do you need?

streetwise2015:
Congrats once again bro…How many years visa was granted to you bro ?

Two years

streetwise2015:
Congrats bro...Can you kindly tell us about your interview at the Us Embassy and what documents you submitted before the visa was granted ? How many years Tourist Visa was granted to you.. Thanks

Thank you..
These were the questions asked by the VO..
--what is my intention in the US.. Tourism!
--Who is sponsoring my trip.. Self!
--What is the duration of my study program.. told
--How many countries have you traveled to.. 7
--Do you know anyone in the US.. Yes!
The answers to these questions were already filled in my DS160. He just wanted to be sure I wasn't lying
I went in with all the necessary documents but he only checked my bank statement and that was it. Qed!
In all, I was very confident and truthful.

TheresaMarii:
Hello House,
Please has anyone tried applying for US tourist visa from Germany? I am a second semester student in Germany (masters) and I would like to visit my aunt in the US by the end of the year?
What do you guys advice? What are the chances as a third country national applicant in Germany?
Thank you!

I am currently in my 6th semester, applied for Tourist visa to the US last month and was granted! Before deciding on Germany, I wanted to study in America but was denied 3x. Nothing is impossible, just give it a try you'll definitely get the visa

Hello everyone, I was recently issued a US tourist visa, while my wife qualifies for the ESTA program. We plan on visiting Toronto since it's closer to our destination in the US. I am a German resident permit holder, but she is a German citizen. What are the chances of me getting the visa? Also, how do I go about it?

fkj950ax:
Since she's not the one being interviewed, she definitely won't be given access to the embassy? And you are aware she has no appointment.
Save yourself all these permutations and prep your mental state for your interview. You were to state this info of a travel companion in your DS-160.

Yes, I already stated that we would be traveling together

Hello every one! I have a question as regards my B2 visa interview coming up at the beginning of May in Munich... I am studying BSC in engineering (now in my 5th semester) at a German university.. Also, I am married to a German and we plan on visiting the US during my semester holiday for 14days max.. My question is since she qualifies for the visa waiver program, how can she attend the interview with me without an appointment? If I go alone, what are my chances of getting the visa?..

MrAAA2:
I can offer that although I live in Köln which is about 5 hrs from Bremen but transportation is not a problem.
If you cannot find a better option, then contact me.

Hey MrAAA2
I sent you a mail, kindly respond. Thanks

Yes I did

heeedreeez:
Huh, so they are able to determine if a person has been denied visa to the USA

I was equally surprised today
