I really wish people will just come here and at least first agree they haven’t read more than a page or two instead of pretending that they have read much. Their questions keep betraying them, and someone like me will also join them and pretend like I didn’t see their post too. The most that will happen is you will be referred back to the first page or to some previous thread maybe.



When I joined nairaland and the US Visit Visa thread, I took particular interest in even previous posts by Tzetzefly especially, VisaOfficer, AbujaNIV, LagosNIV, then Fastlink, Gbenge77, LadyG and Thegreengooner (these were people whose takes were loaded and captivating at the time and till now) amongst others in spite of limited time, I’m better for it. My first and second question on here had some good space between because I was catching up after work, every night as I lay there on my bed till sleep comes. Was showing stuff to my wife alongside as I saw something new and important to us.

There are some people either sharing or liking posts from even as early as 2016, I wish I knew them sef, I won’t hesitate to answer all of their questions to the best of my ability as time and opportunity avails, they are serious, clearly!

I want to visit the US for vacation during Christmas with my family, wife and three children (ages one to eight). I currently have a valid B1/B2 visa but none of my family members have a visa on their passports.
Can I go with them for the interview.

OmoBendel24:
Good afternoon all, a quick one here please. I seem to have forgotten the way round this (scratches head). I intend applying for a renewal of my B1/B2 Visa soon. I have all my previous US visas in my expired Nigeria passport (and I have not misplaced it too).

My travels to the US and other places this past one year plus were done on a new passport (combined with the old because of the visas in it). As a result of this new passport not carrying a US Visa (CBP stamps are on it though), expired or unexpired, FOR CLARIFICATION PURPOSE, should I then just schedule an appointment and go the one-on-one interview route or am I rather qualified for the Dropbox still as I have always done before (if yes, do I send in both passports or what)? Thanks....

LadyG, Seye, Nerf, Tzetzefly, Constance, 9jaStar, Kaptain, wey una? Make una chook mouth put for me....

Any specific way to get the visa? Will I fill 3 different Ds160 form for the 3 of us? Will I pay for 3 US visa fee? Booking appointment for the 3 of us, how will I go about it to be able to visit the VO/embassy as a family.

Hi Guys,

i want the good house for assistance, is the option for drop box still available for US visa renewal??

Princesindy:
Hello house, I applied for a non immigrant visa with my dad earlier this week, his visa was approved and mine was not on the grounds that I was not qualified at that time. I was to take my dad on this trip to visit my sister and her family and for my dad to rest for a while. He is a traditional ruler (Eze) and is almost 80 years. Now due to his age and frail health condition, he cannot embark on the trip alone. Please what do we do in this scenario? We are thinking maybe I should reapply because I am the only person available to help him travel now. I'm 37, married with two kids and they are not traveling with me. The VO never asked if I'm married or have any kids but asked me about the places I have been to, what I went there to do and my job. I answered him all honestly yet he said I was not qualified. I have been to Russia and Malaysia both on study purposes and my current passport was issued in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. I work with a government development agency and the VO said but I'm not working with any of the things studied.

olaniyisal:
Goodday House,

Thank you as u respond..

lucas101:
I once tried the diversity visa way back in 2012 with a wrong date of birth n now my passport bears the correct date of birth. I did not win in d lottery but now 2017, married with kids and a good job n wants to attend a conference in Georgia. Do I stand, will my past error not haunt me. Plz advice

TWoods:


In my view, what is necessary is for visa applicants to be entirely honest in their applications and at their interviews.

esosa4real:
Good day @ladyguinivere @all, greetings and pls I need your advice.

I plan to honestly visit my only surviving uncle in the US (Maryland) who is sick and on dialysis but I don't know how to go about my application due to some points.

1. I am a 29 year old single medical doctor working in Saudi Arabia (legal resident) but on a 2months holiday in Nigeria till February. I have visited UK, brazil, South Africa and Nepal all for Medical Conferences and never broke any law. My worry here is how to demonstrate ties to Nigeria as I want to apply from Nigeria since I am on vacation here. Is this possible and allowed

2. I don't know my chances if I apply from Saudi Arabia as there have been worrying concerns about Saudi due to terrorism and security threat, Infact my UK renewal a few months ago for a sept conference was denied on very flimsy excuses. (I think the western world are very careful about them now for political reasons)

Anthocracy:
Please someone want to change his status as married to unmarried because somebody that filled her DS 160 form made a mistake and her interview is next month. Please help her on how she will go about it.

Thanks

TWoods:


I tire. As a US PR, i still have to apply for Schengen visas. I only appeared once to give fingerprints. The last time, i simply mailed in my passport and the visas are approved with no problems. No begging, no prayers, no need for fasting, no need to practice interview answers. They simply mail you the passport with the stamped visa... no celebrations, congratulations or anything of the sort. Its simply a visa, not an extension of life. We are treated very poorly at foreign embassies because they know we are desperate, poor, dishonest and incompetent!

SexySan:



I didn't refuse to disclose I was pregnant, she only asked where I work and what I do for my coy and what I did while working in US. She kept my passport aside and turned to my husband. I wasn't ask and she wasn't interested in me. My coy is sending me for a training and we wanted to do a week honeymoon that was why my husband was accompanying me. My training is in Dec and will be back Dec. I am due next year March. Why should I lie with the kind of record I have?

zuraking:
Good morning all

OmoBendel24:

Much respect!

makenzie:
hello the gurus of this platform i have some unrelated questions for some friends

1, Do us embassy still have all information of8 years ago inthe system considering the fact that the forms were fillied manualy then. though biometric taken.
2, having been refused 8 years ago with a different age on pp. what is the appropriate thing to do if reapplying now, alredy traveled to europe with this new pp having 7 years age difference
3, how much of immigration information do usa and canada share, can someone who overstayed with aduro in canada be immidiately known at the embassy even without using same passport.

milkydaddy:
Dear Freedah,
I do cherish people with great ideas......mostly people who knew where things were wrong wit them and who seek for remedy.Thank God u realised that the conference you chose was nt in any way tally with ur career,and course of study and no travelling history.
U are difrrent frm some folks that we come up here and asking silly questions why they were denied visa,as if Lady G and other gurus went with them to the interview. Wishing u d best in ur next application

sugah:


No she doesn't have to. People make plans and change plans as needs be. If her boss decides to go to Maine instead of MN, she goes where he goes.

LadyGuinivere:

Every visa has the word 'Annotation ' on it.
That is where an anotation is placed if need be. If they do, they inscribe something like ' must travel in the company of abc'. I have seen such a scenario.
On the left side of every visa, beside the picture, yul see
Entries
M (for multiple) then
Annotation
Blank (this is there they type any specific anotation)
If its blank then its cool.I cropped mine and attached

ayoleyi:
Good morning house, I am back again. got my passport yesterday and i noticed ANNOTATION written below the visa page. Please what does it mean?

OmoBendel24:

No issues

LadyGuinivere:

Anotation with what or just the word?
If its the latter then its ok.

Abidenku:
Good day house,
Please I crave for your opinion on the matter below :
I got my b1/b2 visa while studying in the uk to attend a conference in the us which i attended for 3days. But 7months before the expiration of the visa I got admission to study in the us for my masters and because I was through with my studies in the UK I returned to Nigeria to apply for my f1 visa but I was denied, below is transcipt:
VO: I saw you just finished a course in the UK.
Me: Yes
VO: So who will be sponsoring you for the couse i the us
Me: I will be supported by my mum and I will contribute a part from the proceed of the business i run with a brother to which am a Director.
VO: You are not eligible

Now my question is this, I intend to renew my b1/b2 visa to visit a cousin in the us, please in your opinion what do you think I need to worry about, also am eligible for renewal through dropbox? I look forward to reading from you
