TO SUCCESSFUL APPLICANTS

Good day all, please i just wanted to find out from successful applicant if after interview at the embassy, they actually make inquiries as regards verifying whatever information u mite have dropped in your application form 

MY VISA EXPERIENCE

I just returned from California with my kids and it was really fun. The whole process of getting visa was quite traumatic though. My hubby of 15 years has been travelling to the us often for the past 5 years. My son\'s school decided to take the pupils on excursion to Los Angeles and my son was granted visa through the school.   

My other kids protested, they were in other schools, so we decided to all apply fir visas. My hubby and my son had visas after all  My hubby did all packaging with the help of an agency. He made the mistake of including his nieces cos he was financially capable and they lived with us. On the interview date we got there on time and my hubby was even allowed to come in with us. But as soon as the lady interview began, she totally ignored all documents and kept on asking why we ha to take my kids cousin, note their dad resides in the us, we tried all we could but we were refused. 

ASSISTANCE PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I must commend you guys for this blog and the assistance its offering to help us prepare for an interview. I have few questions to ask. I am lady of 32yrs old, married with no children, working and have a stable financial background. I earlier applied for a visa in 2005 with a different age to the original age I have now. Now, I intend to apply again this year with my original age and great travel experience and my fears at the embassy is that, would it be an automatic refusal for me if I go with my e-passport (which has my original age in it) after the bio metric process? … I hear America embassy deletes refusal application entry after 5yrs, how true is this please? What are my chances and what can I do to make it to be granted a visa..Please advice.  

VISA APPLICATION!!!!!!!!!!

INQUIRY

I am a 30yr old banker and I am also married. I want to apply for a B1/B2 visa but the thing is, I have been to Kuwait before in 2008 for my best friend’s daughter Christening which I was the god father of the baby. I have also been to South Africa and Dubai. I don’t know if my Kuwait experience would make the interviewer deny me the visa because of the Kuwait trip, sighting potential terrorist country, but I also learnt that US have good ties with the Kuwaitis. So please advise me as I believe previous travel experience will give you an edge. Also which is the best place to apply, Lagos or Abuja. Thank you. 

SUGGESTION PLEASE

Hello, i am new here. i however have a visa experience. i was supposed to travel with my parents to attend my immediate elder brother's wedding in Chicago  though the appointment was booked together, they would not allow us take it together. my parents took it together while i took mine separately. the officer, a black young lady asked me what my visit was for, i told her i am attending my brother's wedding and i am the best man. she asked what i do, i told her i am a lawyer. again ow much i earn, i told her, about N220,000. she then worked at her computer and suddenly asked me why the wedding is taking place in Atlanta while the couple stay in Chicago  Actually my brother is taking his PhD in Chicago and they lived and met in Chicago but they are more comfortable with Atlanta because the bride family previously lived there. more so  its a destination wedding and people coming all around the world for it. she wasn't convinced. she asked if i have made plans for the trip and i said i have a reservation at the Sheraton in Atlanta where the wedding will take place. she just did not request for any of my documents. she asked if married, i said i had a fiancee. out of the country before, i said no. she then says am not qualified for a visa. i was so distraught. my brother was devastated  only my parents were given. i wanted to appeal it but i dropped it. i think they assume i do not have enough ties. they don't care how important what you are going to do in the US is, once ties is not well established, they take you down. then i ll probably travel around to some places before applying again  anything to show the circumstances have changed. any other suggestion please?

VISA ENQUIRY

Good day to you all....i stumbled upon this blog in the most funny circumstances and i have been well informed since reading and going through all the trend. 
I have a situation and i would like your advice on it, my fiance is in the u.s.a and we plan on getting married next year ending. she actually works and studies but at the same time leaves with her dad as of right now, though she intends to move out, we want to file for me on the basis of marriage (she will be coming to Nigeria this year) where we would go for a court wedding. based on this do you think i would be granted a visa.
i actually work right now and i wont say my pay runs into millions but its fair. i also haven't let the shores of this country, then i would also like to have any other opinion that can be helpful. we were also thinking of going for the tourist visa but we just want to weigh our options before heading to the embassy. 
i would really appreciate your response

The Visa Application Process
Important Information for Newly Admitted International Students

Step 1: Go to the U.S. Embassy/Consulate or follow the mailing instructions given by the Embassy or Consulate to apply for a student visa. Along with the completed visa application, you must also bring or mail the following items:

1. The original I-20 or DS-2019 form and the admission letter sent by the University
2. The SEVIS I-901 fee payment receipt.
3. A nonrefundable visa application fee. See payment instructions on the application form.
4. A passport valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended stay in the U.S.
5. Original school transcripts and public examination certificates, including student copy of your TOEFL, GMAT or GRE score report if applicable.

F-1 VISA EXPERIENCE

My visa interview was booked at 9 o’clock, September 10, 2009. I arrived at the U.S Consulate around 8:30, and there were already hundreds people waiting outside of the Consulate building. I heard the visa interview is usually started at 7:30. The guards were holding a name list, and gave us a pass card so that we can go into the building. The Visa department was located on the fifth floor. On the fourth floor there were another group of guards holding the same name list and ask our pass cards back, then we can go up to the fifth floor.

First, we need go through the security check, no water, food, cigarette, lighter, cellphone, MP3, electronic dictionary or any other digital products can bring into the visa department, we had to store/consign them outside of visa hall, then we went to the security door one by one. The guards checked/scanned our bags carefully, even a 10ml liquid or a portable hard disk can not be missed.

FIANCEE VISA

Am 29 years old, I applied for a US in august 2012 and I was refused and my fiancee is in US and he is filing for me in 2014, is there any chance of them refusing me again? 

VISA DENIAL

I went for an interview on the 22 of April this year.My brother was graduating and needed a family member to be there, he sent an invitation letter.he is also a citizen. My concern was that despite the fact that I had all the necessary documents even my bank slip,employment letter where I work as a PA to an oil company but the pay isn't all that ( N 160 000),but run my own business on the side that pays better. The lady who interviewed me didn't even check them, she only asked where in the us I was going and if I was married and I said no. It really hurt me, did it matter that it was my first time of travelling? I want to ask if its OK to write an appeal letter to the consul or just re apply? And when filling the form on line there isn't any place to indicate other form of income which may serve as a boost. What do u all think?
