I'm yet to go for my Visa interview... i also have similarsituation... it gets me worried alot. My brother graduated from the school i got admission to and he is now a permanent resident there.. he's also the one sponsoring me. I dont really know how to go about it... ... mind sharing your transcript? Any advice or tip??

NigPatriot:
Your story is rather unique, but not impossible. As I always advise, try to be sincere in your application and sell your story in the most convincing way possible you can. Your interview is already close by, you have to attend it - as someone who hasn't been denied before. I don't know what you filled on your DS160, so I can only advise based on the information you've put forward. you clearly have more ties to the US than Nigeria. Focus on three things now - your funding, your work, and your ambition (your post-study plans). This will determine the outcome of your visa.

Easydgre8:
Even if siblings are citizens, there's a chance of getting your visa. Three of my brothers are in the US, two graduated from the school I applied for, two of them are citizens one a PR. I still got my visa anyway mentioning everything in my ds160 and explaining to the VO. It's grace, that's all I can say

JustSynergy:
Thank you really much.
The POF is ready and still running.
Other necessities are set.
The only issue here is the passport.
I wish there was a way to fast rack the renewal.

Mablove:
Good evening everyone, please my son's NIN has a spelling error. something like(Beauty-Best) the hyphen in the middle was omitted. How do I get it corrected and is it possible to get another copy immediately after the correction? His birthday certificate and other documents has the correct spelling. We need it for his passport renewal but immigration is asking for a correction before they can process his application. Pls anyone with similar experience

Please take advantage of the surge now. Buy a new MRV and send your documents to the surge email.

Kaygirl33:
Well, that will be a bit of a hassle but not impossible. It would have been to his favor if he was self employed. Let her try still. Well that's my own opinion, but whatever makes her comfortable.

beejhay69:
Sorry about the delay.
You'd need to pay another visa fee before you can schedule another appointment.

itoski:
I applied yesterday and I was approved today (Abuja) but my problem is the available date is quite late for me. (Jan 12)
I don't know if it is possible to hang on for a closer date.

Valolisa147:

fairheart:
Alright

Beautyagu1:
Just hold on to the date and apply for emergency date 60 days to your resumption date. Also you can still be checking the portal for a closer date.

Valolisa147:
Please i need help on this.... someone should please proofread and correct me. Thank you all

I was previously found ineligible for a Non-immigrant Visa because, i failed to establish ties that will compel me to return to my home country Nigeria.
I would like to state that I am blessed with the smallest family unit that consists of  just my Dad, I and my only beloved sister. I love them both so much to abandon them here in Nigeria even after my studies in the United States. Moreover, my studies was inspired by the desire to broaden my knowledge in IT and take my budding company to the next level and in turn take care of my only family. In the same vein, I also do not intend to leave behind, my guardian/sponsor; Mrs ……... who happens to be my late mother’s brother’s wife (Uncle’s wife). I have been under her tutelage since the death of my mother since 2006. In continuation of that care and guardianship, she is willing and has shown her financial ability to cater for all expenses relating to my travel to the United States from flight expenses to tuition and living expenses. She is one family I am not willing to abandon in Nigeria and so would definitely come back home.

Emphatically, I wish to state again that I have been running a start-up Tech company (OYO) with a friend for three years now after I grew a passion for the Tech world. We plan to diversify and broaden the scope of our company with the knowledge I will gain from my intended study program. This would also compel me to come back to my country, Nigeria and through our company I would be contributing towards community development by harnessing talents to bridge the technological gaps in developing  communities.

In conclusion, Nigeria is my home. I am the only son of my father as well as his only heir. This comes with a lot of responsibilities that can not be abandoned. Also, I have a purpose for my study in the United States which is to gain expert knowledge and experience in Computer Science and give back to my Nigerian community, especially the Igbo community. I would have to come back in order to  actualise that purpose and goal.

vizin:
Wait a sec, is this your supposed answer to the question "reason for previous denial?" which in a nutshell was your inability to prove strong home ties during your previous interview?. Respectfully, this is unnecessarily long, tacky and screams I'm desperate. Keep it short, precise and straight to the point; sometimes less is more.

anfanio:
In RED - Avoid blaming the visa officer (you can but choose your words carefully)
In BROWN - That happened after your interview - irrelevant to the question
In BLUE - Leave that for your interview date and be careful how you say it - " advancement and exposure" can still happen in Nigeria

Reason for previous denial "unable to prove home ties"

Kelex062:
Pay and fill the ds-160 first (In any order). You would need the ds-160 confirmation number and the visa fee confirmation code to fill the cgi form.

decide:
Fill the DS160 form, create CGI account, then make payment and schedule an appointment date.

You can use Microsoft paint to resize your passport

Stevenssen:
It doesn't really matter. He can do either first. He can pay the visa fee, book an appointment and fill his ds form later. The important thing to know is that you must complete the form, submit it and put the form number on your cgi appointment page and you should do these before 72 hours to your interview
