Hello All,

I had a visa appointment this morning in Abuja and I was refused and given a pink form. I noticed others were given Yellow form.

Please what should I do next?

Lexusgs430:
You would require a lawyer, for such transactions (so every interest is covered)......

lishiekwene:
Does anyone know if a person with an application for Green card living in Nigeria can apply for US visiting visa? Thank you.

internationalman:
My PD is 2014, am I current?

@OyoTunjiUSA @justwise @Debbieeeeee and all the elders I am yet to mention. Good day o
So my concern is this. I got my first us visa 2015, travelled and returned, renewed via Dropbox went to brith my daughter and then used same visa to travel for family vacation as well. Upon my renewal via IW, we were called for interview and was denied. The VO questions was around the cost of birthing my daughter though j showed all zero receipts etc, we were denied. Hubby just closed the chapter of America visa and I went further to have my second baby in Naija.
To my question, now I want to apply for a visa alone. The section that says ‘ where you refused a us visa previously’ Explain why… how do I tackle that question. Should I just state based on section 214(b) or I should further explain the issue the VO had around the birth thing?
Abeg make una help me shed light based on experience , that’s what is holding my submission of form

Good Evening house, Please can someone help with the link to renew my son’s us passport. I think that’s ds11 form link

apach4ever:
interview letter is based on DQ date and it was stated.

Drebal:
Thank you.

I have two questions,

So when I was filing dad’s application, the part that asked if anyone was going to be immigrating with him , I said yes which is mom. It then prompted me to fill in her details such as DOB . I made a silly mistake on her DOB under his application . I mistakenly added a year , for example instead of 1955, I input 1956.
Proceeded to email NVC about the mistake and requested for correction and I got this response below .

Note : All information on her own application is fine and correct .

Any suggestion on how I can get this corrected??

Secondly - do you have an idea of how long it takes NVC to call an immediate relative for an interview at the moment?
I looked into the visa bulletin and discovered that immediate relatives got nothing to do with visa bulletin.

Thank you.

Omosteph:
Please, I need clarification on my passport validation being at least six months beyond my stay. My interview is later this month, and my passport is expiring by June next year.
Can this cause a visa denial or the 7 months on my passport is okay?

Drebal:
Hello everyone -

I’m confused on part 5 of the Affidavit of support form - I-864 . I’m currently filing for my parents and both have separate supporting form.

On one persons , the household is 3 , for the second persons form , will the household be 4 since I already indicated that I’m sponsoring the first person or should I still keep it as 3 ?

Thank you.

Update on my case
I received an email for passport and visa collection 15th October. And we've been in the US for 2 weeks now. Thank you to @Aestake & @Bowanja and everyone who was of help. Goodluck to everyone expecting.

Heenarhmoj:
Hello guys. Please does anyone know what time is best to check for visa appointment dates in Canada. The system seems to be busy during the day and at night, I can only find dates in January 2027. I’ve been trying to reschedule my appointment date. Thanks.

RuthIeluv:
Good Evening house,

Me and my two children apply for a student dependant visa and did our biometric on the 30th September.

We've gotten approval for me and my first son on the 10th October, the last one is yet to be out.

Did a paid call twice and the response was it's still under consideration.

Is it possible for the last one to be refuse?

Ewaoluwayemi:
I got an invite from a friend for 5 days and will be staying with him in his accommodation. I am a salary earner and I spend almost #300,000 every month on expenses. What amount should I put down as the total I want to spend on this trip? Since my friend is taking care of the accommodation and food, will this include the flight? I’m thinking that with the flight cost in Nigeria, this would be like all my monthly expenses for about 10 months. Please kindly advise; I beg, as I’ve seen refusals based on this, where the consular said it is not reasonable to spend such an amount on a 5-day trip.

Please kindly advise.

Oluwabusolamiii:
Hi

Thank you . I don’t think I mentioned that I was attending a conference. It’s a visit visa only . Visiting my friend and a bit of tourism.

My friend is supporting because she invited me and thought to pay part of the travel expense for me.

I also have my business registration documents

Ivoryred:
I just applied for my passport today, and I booked for my appointment immediately.

I went back to check paid status(paid already) on my profile. But I noticed (waiting for approval) on my profile.

Do I need to go for capturing, even if my profile is not yet approved?

Because my date is on 7th November. So close

If you come late, do they restrict you for capturing that Day?

covbrand:
Can Jamb result be used in place of weac?

covbrand:
.

Drebal:
Thank you for your response. I made the payment, filled out the form and uploaded the documents.

But I am a bit confused on which of the affidavit support document I need to submit on the part below .

As a W2 worker - which of the “I”series document do I need to fill and submit.

Secondly , which other supporting documents can I include ?

Thank you.

Oluwabusolamiii:
Hi Everyone

Please I’m in the process of applying for a visit visa to the Uk, my friend is inviting me and I have a couple of questions. I will appreciate your inputs. Thank you in advance

I own two businesses here in Nigeria but I do not pay myself salary, I cover my operational
expenses using the business account .

The first business is a clothing business and I have inflow and outflow of about 20m in 6 months but I never really leave the account sitting with a high balance

The second business has fewer transactions but has a yearly income of about 7m and currently a balance of 5m

I intend submitting the bank statements for both since I solely own the businesses. And also a cover letter to explain the inflows & outflows in both
accounts.

I am concerned if I also need to submit a bank statement with my own personal name or mention that I have other savings asides what’s currently in my bank account

I intend to visit the Uk for 5 days and will be planning towards spending 800 GBP. my friend who invited me will also be sponsoring me with 800 GBP.

Can someone please guide me if i’m on the right track and what I need to modify if necessary

Based on the bank statement for the first business , Is it okay if I fill in my application that I earn 20m annually from my first business and spend 1.3m on expenses monthly

I will appreciate all your inputs

Many thanks

Drebal:
Good morning guys , Recently , my parents filing was approved and I am at this NVC stage . I was sent some informations that I don’t really understand.

I understood the part where I have to make some payments but I don’t really understood the document part . I would appreciate you guys contribution on this .

Attached are screenshots of an email I received this morning.

Drhay:
@fairheart Thank you for the reply, i have started the process for the evaluation but another thing i would like to know is this;


1. Can an undergraduate student bring her spouse to the USA provided there is financial document, if yes is it advisable they apply thesame time or one after the other. In other to clarify, the spouse doesnt want to go to school anylonger but would prefer looking for job, hes a software developer that can get gigs even when working from home (USA) as a remote worker.
[/b] Yes, however the spouse would be on F2 which does not permit the non student
spouse to work. The student must show they have sufficient funds to cover the spouse.
Now if the spouse gets F2 visa and moves to the US, it is possible to adjust status in country to any of the employment visas of possible.

Lastly if you already have a remote job in Nigeria you can continue with it in the US.
[b]

2. How can the person apply for Bsc, shes looking into considering nursing mostly short time course of study maybe 2years course instead of 4years

[/b]research and find. It's DIY work. Use YouTube, Google, read threads on nairaland[b]

3. Is it possible, for instance the husband got a job that can give work visa / employment visa to convert to a work visa ?



Just want to get some clarity and sincere response

Thanks you so much everyone for your contribution

CalmsoG:
Wonderful thread!

Please guys,
For the recent immigrants to the US, what format of the "Certificate of Birth" issued by National Population Commission(NPC) was accepted by the NVC for civil documents?

We've had an attestation of birth issued by NPC and most recently certificate of birth from same NPC both rejected as invalid document.

Please any contributions will be appreciated

Olafad2024:
Good afternoon. I hope everyone is well. Please I need help as I am new to this forum and I have tried to read up as much as possible but still need some clarifications.

My Spouse's parent filed for him in Dec 2011 before we got married. NVC sent a Welcome Letter in 2017, however, we had gotten married by then so that information was shared with them and our category moved to F3.

Our PD has now become current and we are yet to hear from them. We are also no longer resident in Nigeria and would like to have our interview done at our present country of residence, UK.

I would appreciate your guidance on the next steps to take and how to go about changing our preferred location for the interview. Also, does anyone know how long the process actually takes from the point of the PD being current and getting the visa itself, especially when applying from the UK?

Thank you and I look forward to receiving your responses.

annabee:
100% true. I know people who transitioned from BSc to PhD as well.

Manny154543:
Please how do I go about that. I put in our passports number on the ois site and it is saying passport not ready for pickup up yet.

Could it be as a result of my aunt whose passport was submitted alongside ours and her visa was issued yesterday?

Opeyemi007:
Thanks. Her passport is valid for 9 more years. I know the study permit is issued based on the length of her study, it just doesn’t make sense that they’d issue a five months visa. That means she’d have to do another in-country application for her to be able to travel outside Canada.

Manny154543:
My father's brother, who is a US citizen, has petitioned for an F4 visa for my family, which includes my parents, myself, and two of his sisters. This brings the total number of cases to three.
Each of us was documentarily qualified in 2020 and got invited for the Visa Interview on August 12. The interview went smoothly, however, each of us was given a 221g, and the following were requested:
A. The Original NPC attestation of the Birth of the petitioner
B. An i864a for the joint sponsor of my parents and me.
All these were submitted to DHL two days after the interview. Afterward, our case status remained refused (though it was updated several times) up until September 25, when it changed to administrative processing, and on September 27, it changed to issued for my parents and me.
Ever since, we've been expecting a mail inviting us to pick up our passports and visa and up till now, we've not gotten any yet.


N.B: Since it's the same petitioner for my parents, myself, and my 2 aunts, we were requested to submit the documents to DHL together,. Although one of my aunts wasn't able to submit them together at the same time; she submitted hers afterward.
Earlier this week, both of my aunties' visa was issued. My question now is how do we get to collect our passports back? Since the us travel docs isn't active again and I've opened avits and ois profile for my parents, please what is the way forward.
