bettyLad:

wow...Good to see a partner. Please lets chat and figure out a way to crack this nut.

Hello, please kindly attend to this question. I have been reading this thread for some time now. I must confess it's a bit diffcult to understand somethings. And I haven't come across anyone with a case like mine. I studied a 4year course (sociology and anthrpology) in a state university and I work as a sales and marketing rep in an oil and gas company which is not related to my field of study. Will my job contradict my course of study during assessment? On the other hand, am also a fashion designer. I saw it on the list of occupations. Can i choose it if the demand is not high and how can I get supporting document since I am self employed in that angle. So sorry for the long post.

Good morning y'all, please is it correct if I put SELF in sponsorship Column in our ds 160 form for hubby and I. Or should I just state that hubby is sponsoring us.

NOTE: we are applying with the kids.

OmoBendel24:
1. OTHER is in order. You know your job na, describe it, what it entails summarily.

2. In order.

3. Just for that reason? Consider more please, lemme not be unnecessarily African.

thanks @omobendel
Pls throw more light on number 3,

[quote author=Ekomatty post=65889038]Hello all, I've been a silent reader on here, i went for an interview today. Below is the transcri




I think as a business man that has been exporting to China since 6years should have China as one of his travel history.

Good evening house, please I need a guide. I am filling our forms(me and my family). Now I have gotten to the stage of employment. I am a fashion designer and Its not in the drop down options. So I chose OTHER. But how do I describe my duties and responsibility as a fashion designer?
2. In the sponsorship Column, Is it in order if I put SELF for my self and SELF for my hubby since we are both sponsoring the trip.
3. Is it right for me to be the principal applicant since I am the one that has been following the thread and has better understanding of how the system works.
Pls it's urgent. Thanks y'all

Pls good people attend to this one..abeg

Hello good people, I have started filling my ds 160 and I need to make some clarifications to avoid mistakes abeg.
1) we chose Florida as our destination.. I googled and it looks like an interesting place to visit. Please is it OK or are there better places suitable for family tourism?( note we are gonna be staying in a hotel where ever its gonna be)
2)secondly, for someone that's self employed, I didn't see column for self employed... This is what I saw(find attached).
3) how do I link my children's forms to mine and Hubby's?

nikkycool:
@Zimzee I think that was why we were rejected when we applied last year September.We applied with our last baby 1+.She asked how many kids we have and we said 4,she exclaimed 4so why going with just 1?we gave her reasons and she asked other normal questions but we believe it might be the reason for our rejection.Planning to reapply this year though with either all the kids or me and hussy alone.Hope this helps.

Wow..thanks for this piece of info. Its really helpful

LadyGuinivere:
None Biko apply with all the kids. The vo may not believe u have other kids.

Thanks lady G

seyewest:
What are your ties?

Hubby has his own registered lubricant company and he is doing well, I own my own business as well. We have landed properties too.

OmoBendel24:
At least I can see clearly you have been following this thread and even contributing too, meaningfully. This your contribution above works for your case too. In essence, you are in order in my opinion, give it a try with just your hubby and the 1year-old....

Thank you omobendel.

Hello my people, twale to lady G, seyewest, ladylco, omobendel, and a host of others that are swiftly answering us here, I am here again to ask more questions regarding my application, I really want to get it right the first, so that's why I am taking my time, I don't want to be in a hurry.
My intention was to visit US with my whole family(4kids..ages10,8,8,1) and hubby as I stated in my previous questions. but having read through thread 1-3, I have seen that so much has been talked about home ties, though hubby and I have good income,
But am thinking if it would be best, hubby and I with our one year old baby should go first this summer thereby using our 3 other kids as home tie, then maybe during Xmas we will apply for the rest of our kids, and then travel as a family.
Or do you we should go ahead and apply as a family,?
Please I really wanna get it right,
Abeg your candid opinion will be appreciated.

dubolog:
transcripts will still come in on how they contradicts themselves in between. When V.O "ask what did you study" "What do you do" and "benefits of conference related to current job" Have a nice rest Mr Seye.

@dublog, I studied sociology and anthropology in school and I am now a fashion designer. Biko does it mean I am disqualified already.

, I must commend you all for your help, happy new year all. Please I need interpretation to this dream, I dreamt where I was harvesting few corns to roast and eat, suddenly I saw a man from my village offering me part of his pear for #100. I agreed and as I bend down to pack the pears from the ground, I looked to my right and I saw two more pears lying separately on the ground, the more I pick , the more I see more pears. I continued picking till i had more than enough. Though I didn't notice any pear tree in that dream.
2) later in the same dream, I saw a friend of mine buying roasted corn, he called out to me to come take some and I went.

OmoBendel24:
Monthly is what is asked for specifically on the form....

Thank you for your prompt response.

Is it advisable to state your salary monthly or annually when asked how much one earns by the vo?

Hello house, I have not applied for a visa inorder words no travel history, the same is applicable to my family members. But now we want to apply for b1/b2 visa and we don't want to be denied. below is our status please help rate us.
I have four kids with my husband making 6 of us. My husband has his own registered company producing their own branded engine oil. And his bank statement is OK. Me on the other hand, I am a fashion designer with my own label. We do ready to wear, made to measure and bespoke. And my monthly turnover is about 800k. We have landed properties in our names. I want to go on a vacation my family. Pls ur advice.
Remember no travel history

LadyGuinivere:
Erm. Based on your story mma, if I were a vo, mere pictures wont suffice.
But what I know?

@Lamide, the process for dropbox is on the website. If you didn't misuse your visa then you should not have a cause for concern. If you did, then.... Do that you planned to do when you got to the this bridge

OK, so pls what are you suggesting, letter from her schools both present and past, receipts or what do you have in mind. Biko tell me.

LadyGuinivere:
Is she your ward? Yes
Is she your daughter? No. That would be misrepresentation
If she had been formally adopted, then you can fill that.
Don't get it mixed up. So no you can't fill her details as your daughter.
You can travel with your ward that is legally under your care. Is her mother dead? No. So she can sign a consent form.you can also take along anything that shows proof that she's been living with you

@ladyG, thanks a bunch, this info is very appreciated. This has been bothering me. So if her mum gets to fill the consent form, we are good to go?. We have lots of family pics taken with her at various times.

Hello house.......please I need your advice, I got married 10yrs ago, and 2yrs into my marriage one of my sis in law who is separated with her hubby pleaded with me to help her care for her then 4year old daughter that she needed to get her life back. Its been 8yrs now, the girl is 12yrs now, she is like my own child, some people thinks she is my biological child. The question is can I include her in my family application since she is not biological to me.
I know I am not gonna tell all this stories to the vo cos I may not be permitted to. Is possible to take her along and if yes, what steps should I take.?
Thanks

Hello guru in the house, please I need a candid advice on what to do and our chances of getting nthe visa. I intends to apply for visiting visa with my FAMILY. Below are my present status

1.No traveling experience by either me or my family.

2. We are Six in the family(Me,My wife and 4-Kids)

3.I work with multinational company with salary 370k

4.I have landed property with receipt and survey documents

5. We don't have any body in the USA.

6. Why we are traveling to USA is because of my children who have been disturbing me that they love to visit where nickelodeon actor/actress do act their film and meet some characters they love and book hotel close to the place.
7.My wife is a fashion designer.

Please kindly assist with feedback ASAP

Not like visa can't be issued to people with no travel history.
From the transcripts I have read from part1 to part3, I saw were visas were given to holders of virgin passports without any travel history. Your wife is a fashion designer, what is her average monthly income? Then aside your 370k salary, do you have a secondary source of income? Because you need to convince the vo of your family's ability to cater for the trip. Then what becomes your home tie when you travel with all your family? These are the things you need to have answers to. My humble opinion though. The gurus knows better.

domcreative:
Your newly registered company doc. won't be checked, likely your bank statement, just explain your business and when asked be able to defend it. my 10 cent

Thank you. So she should continue with her personal account for now?

OmoBendel24:
None of the above is actually needed. Hardly is this believed by new applicants though, but it's the truth!

Then, this is for the general public, also have come to the realisation that agents are part of the major contributors causing loads of applicants to disbelieve this too. If you believe this, no agent can easily con you, disbelieving this is the gateway to their extortion exercise. They need to make documents for you na, manipulation/payment starts and graduates from there....

The worst part is that this is the reason they lead many to fall in the trap of misrepresentation, even great misrepresentations that becomes difficult for applicants to ever correct.

#Beware

Thank you....... So we shouldn't bother with those abii?.

Hello everyone, please a friend of mine who is self employed has been doing business for almost 9yrs now and her turnover is good, now she wants to apply for b1/b2 visa with her family and she wants to also use her income to support her husbands who is also self employed ( oil and gas) with good turn over too. But the issue here is that her( my friends) company is not registered and the account she is running her business with is her personal account.
1) Can she use the bank statement of her account for
the interview?
2) or should she go and register her company?
3) if yes to number 2, will presenting a newly registered company cert. affect her chances?
4) would she also need to open an account with the newly registered name?
Please, I don't know if I presented my case well but please help me with some advice.
Thanks in anticipation.

seyewest:
As a silent follower you should know you don't need bank statement and apart from your job I don't see any other ties... but if your husband is twice of your salary that's an added advantage.
I wish you good luck.

Thank u for your response. Talking about ties. I didn't mention that I have a fashion and designing business that I inherited from my mum. I have been running it since 2009. I engaged the services of a manager and they remit an average monthly income of 180k. Adding it to my salary of 300k will give about 480k monthly income. Do I need to state this in my form?. Thanks

@zimzee.....it either you are reading another thread or you don't understand what you want to do.
Am 100% sure that your matter has been treated times without number. Cool down take your time and read. It took me over 4 months to read part 1 plus another 300pages of part 2.

From my observation the successful rate of silent readers is higher because they have better understanding of their traveling purposes, quality answers during the interview session....

Just take your time.

OK oo, lemme continue reading... Thanks. Will be back with more questions....lol

OtunOba15:
A silent reader from which of the part 1 or 2?

If truly you understand what you've been reading...... I guess your successful transcript should be what we should be commenting and celebrating on.

Not questions of "My Chance" that has been repeated and answered over time. Please go and read through the parts again. You will get better understanding to your questions.

Receive strength!

Otunba15, I am still reading part 2 while following this part 3. Sometimes it can really get confusing. Please a little explanation to my question will surely go a long way and will highly be appreciated. Thanks
