I believe it’s this same conference the OP intends attending. It’s a huge and big one! He’s the one who needs to fit the bill.... I see he’s tried so far to a large extent to connect his field/work to the conference. Long way to go still methinks

gimakon:
Many thanks bro. My company is sending me on a conference to Houston, TX. Conference is about naval engineering and oil and gas too.

Now I'd be there for a week and they given me all docs including letter of leave approval and letter of introduction (confirming I work for the company) I also have my payslips too. And hotel reservation confirmation. (just making sure I don't make mistakes)

Nature of my company : We build software solutions for oil and gas companies, Telecom's, and banks.
I have my bank statements and letter confirming payment of perdiem ,flight, cash to spend in Houston(this letter is from my company) .

You think I'd be fine sir?

AdetonaDami:
Please I filled DS 160 for my mom B2 visa and I never came across travel history.....

Please am I getting something wrong or this is normal

TheCongo2:
OtunOba has spent ages making assumptions on people on this thread and harassing them that they are planning to enter the US with the intention of going to Canada.

But today he is the one who had overstayed his visa. He is even embarrassed to make any further comments on this thread.

Life can be funny sometimes...

nanaghano:
Hello guys... Pls I have a little problem.. trying to apply for a visit visa for my 70 year old dad ... I am sponsoring the trip. I already made payment and scheduled the appointment but I have been trying to fill the ds 160 form all day... I haven't been able to access the form. Pls does anyone have an idea.
On the appointment page there is a Ds 160 confirmation number... I don't know if I am on the right track.

EsotericMonk:

For someone on the settlement route, how long after receiving an SS (social security) Card would the travel document arrive?

EsotericMonk:

...the last question that was asked is "have you traveled out of Nigeria before" and I said no but told her my wife had traveled once (...now allowed my wife to give details of her journey) after which she refused us

icanfixitmyself:
Thanks and blessed morning to you @vibrant99. Your response is really insightful & encouraging...
The VO1 asked me what I do =I work with xyx as.... , turned to my wife ask her same thing & wife also answered... In short she(VO1) conducted the interview for more 2mins b4 d change over...
My questions are: HOW SOON CAN WE REAPPLY AND DOES IT MATTER IF WIFE TAKES LEADING ROLE? She seems to be well composed than I was.
God bless reachly

Hi everyone & I hail all the gurus in the house, I & my family (family of 3) appeared for our b1/b2 interview yesterday and it went thus:
Vo (polite lady) : good morning
We: good morning (chorus)
Vo: passports
Me: slide in passports
Vo: why a you going to america
Me:...for our annual vacation...
Vo: where do u work
Me: I work wit Co xyz as blabla (my post)
Vo: what do u do (to my wife)
Wife: answered wit even more confidence than I did
Vo: have u traveled out of nig before (still focus on my wife)
At this point when my wife started highlighting country we've bn together as family and other countries she's been to for trainings the VO stopped her & asked one of the staffs (a guy) to lead us to the next counter & told him she had interviewed us...fast forward to d next counter
Vo(a guy with earphone on his ears): good morning
Wife&I: good morning
Vo: passport please
Wife: handed them over
Vo: typing for almost 2mins without asking us anytin (at this point my anxiety level had gone up)....
Vo: why are u going to america
Me: we are going 4our annual vacation &...
Vo: have u traveled out of nig b4
Me: told him where we've bn to together...wife also came in to defend countries she's been to for trainings (wife later told me I wasn't answering wit. Confidence enough & that was why she had to step up to d occasion)
Vo: returned all our confirmation pages printout & held onto our passport typing for almost 2-3mins (I'm sure pple behind must av bn wondering wat was going on)
Vo: brought blue paper wit their sorry msg& now returned our passports
Notice of the day:
1. I've never seen nor heard this b4 I mean move 4rm one counter to another
2. The VO.1 (d lady) had enough blue papers (denial papers) on her desk which she has been denying pple with but not a single white one (approval paper) was sighted.

Lovesexy:
I filled out the DS 160 application for her, I am her only child. She is 54 years old. She doesn't really speak English, both times she went she needed an interpreter. If I may ask, in what space of time did your mom do hers. I really want my mom to come and help me out. I can petition for her, but it will take longer than the visa and also she doesn't want to live our dad al by himself for that long. That is why she doesn't want to stay long.

Lovesexy:
Please I wanted to ask immigration officer's in this forum, is there anything that I am doing wrong trying to invite my mother to the US. I first applied for Visa for her last year 2018 in May for my graduation, they didn't issue her. This year 2019 again (this past monday) I applied for her again and still no avail with all the necessary documents giving to her. She told me that the officer didn't even collect the documents from her. Even I mailed some documents to the embassy as well. I just wanted her to come for a month to help me because I am pregnant with twins and I am a US Citizen. My husband is still in Nigeria awaiting his papers. I am the only one here, the plan was if my mom comes and after her stay we will all go back to Nigeria. But I don't know what else to do, is it advisable to try and apply for visa again for her within two weeks. I really need her help. Any advise will be gladly appreciated. Help a sister please and thank you.

olusolarichards:

Rolake1:
Does anyone know how to go about conference related visa application to the usa

Naijaforeigner:
Hello sir, I am open to learning. How did you come about your percentage? Please tell me how college reduces your chances of visa approval.

With all due respect sir, there are more Nigerians in Fanshawe college than in Western university of Ontario (both schools in London, you can check school websites to confirm). I am not telling you what I heard or read online, neither is this beer parlour gossip. I am telling you what I am presently experiencing at the moment. In my program, Logistics and supply chain management, we have 4 Nigerians in my class. The RCCG church in London Ontario (the largest and only RCCG church for blacks in London is filled with lots of Fanshawe students). You know the funny thing, we all are on 1 year visa and I am the only one that applied from London, UK, others were from Nigeria. I see so many blacks from other programs every day in school.


Before you put out figures, make sure you have proofs to back them up.

ruthnnedi:
Good evening everyone!

I just want to share this testimony in order to give hope to June, July and August 2018 applicants that are still waiting.

My husband got admission into university of Alberta (masters), We applied for visa (am accompanying my husband) since 5th June 2018. Since then on response from the VO (no medical request)
We loss hope, even forgotten about our application (we moved on with our lives).

On the 14-2-2019 we got mail from VO for medical request. Our applications lasted 8 months and some days.

My problem now is am pregnant! Pls I hope it won't affect my medical report or my chances of getting visa. Thank you

tunddy:

I don't bliv that sir....

Startup00:
My brother got admission in to [b]Fanshawe College in Ontario for PGD via a travelling Agent [/b]and all payment for school fees was made via the Agent. He was denied visa early last year and he deferred his admission till September. He later had to defer his admission again till January because he didn’t get a response from the embassy about his visa application. Unfortunately he got denied late November and we’ve been on her neck for the refund of school fees till now.
Yesterday she’s told us she has gotten an alert of 2.8mllion for the refund while we paid a total of 4.3million to her. I have tried checking the college refund policy and I still don’t understand why the money is been reduced from her end. Pls has any one have such encounter with Fanshawe College before and how about there refund policy because we feel she’s scamming us due to the 4months it took her to get back to us.

Pls guru in d house my GCmcs note is out, suggestions and advice needed to tackle it, I wanna reapplay soon

Josade69:
Hello house,
Please how can one apply for the study permit and coop permit together. I'll like to do so as my master's course has a coop semester attached to it.

I would also like to find out if one can do additional work (not coop) while you are a student using your normal study permit, and how soon after arrival can you start work (the work is in the u university's health facility, so it's not a graduate assistant ship). Thanks guys for your expected responses.
