Okija_juju:Look at you lying in broad day light and still yet you say i am hating.What am i hating in your case of multiple lies?Who issued you a Canadian passport without going through Canadian resident processing?For the issue of you being issued a H-1 visa the only way it is possible is if your Dad's company included his family for consular processing when they applied for his H-1 visa.Meanwhile on a serious note can you tell us how you got a Canadian passport while you were a Resident of France perhaps you all went through the Canadian skill worker program through your Dad working in Canada for a period of time also? 3 Likes |

nija@50: I think you should take a break from applying for now until status changes based on your question No. 5, and by the way the answer is yes. |

Hello Nairalanders, Firstly i have to thank those Gurus on this forum, and your contributions and advice, May God continue to bless you all for your good advice and contribution. Please i need your advice on getting a US visit visa. I am currently a student studying in Serbia, last year 2012 i applied for US B1 visa on a purpose of attending conference related to my field of studies, but i was denied at the US embassy in Serbia, and the CO told me that i don't have strong ties in Serbia. Now i am planning of coming to Nigeria to apply for B1 visa from Nigeria, i want to know the possibility of getting the visa in Nigeria. i have travel experience in Sweden, Mexico and China on same conference. Please i need your advice on this, and i am applying as self sponsor. Your advice would be highly appreciated. |

Applying for US visa can be a daunting experience. I remember it was back in 2000, i was applying for a student visa.......Got there at 5:00am in the morning and waited in the line for hours and hours. I was able to get in at around 1pm noon. I think they let us in in groups of 10 (the main interview/waiting room). By that time i was already super tired /irritable and rightly so. I was so shocked at how everyone ahead of me were getting DENIED....Most if not all of the applicants there were F1-student visa applicants. There was a particular applicant that kept responding to the interviewer with a fake American accent and she was denied flat out. It got to my turn, my face was already hardened and i wasn't happy (I felt Nigerians were being mistreated, considering the stress of waiting for several hours outside in such hot weather). The first question he asked me was, What school are you going to? I answered. He asked what state it was in, i answered. Then he asked for my I-20 and passport, i gave him. Then he went inside for like 45 seconds to a minute. He now came back to tell me to come back for my visa......Since this wasn't the response i was expecting, I replied...OH....DID YOU DENY ME THE STUDENT VISA (With a stern voice)? To which he replied NO SIR, COME BACK FOR YOUR STUDENT VISA (HE GAVE ME A NUMBER AND TIME TO PICK UP). I said thank you and left. The whole experience was surreal cause at that point i was just so tired, the excitement of successfully getting the student visa did not set in until the following couple of days. 5 Likes 1 Share |

i was at the embassy with a friend last week. he applied for f1 visa. i had to wait praying hard enough for him. at a point i was tired of prayin cuz he was inside for almost 4hrs. this was is experience. the consular ask him. what is he going to do in the u.s?he repield. ask again which state? he repield. y the school. he replied. u didnt pay ur sevis fee. at this point he explained he paid tru a friend in the u.s. it didnt reflect here said the consular. he had to make the payment himself the second time after he was given a form that indicated nd make reference to it. he went back yestaday alone just to be told sorry. ur passport is nt qualified for a visa. this letter explains why. he wasnt even ask any question the second time.none of the evidence documents were checked. BUT on letter claims he has no family ties. what went wrong. this guys just use there free will of judgement to kill nigerians aspirations to school in usa. must u have a relative abroad to get a F1 visa? |
Re: How Painful US Visa Denial Could Be.... by worry359(m): 4:23pm On Dec 31, 2013 |
Olamotad They are NOT saying that he needs family ties abroad! They want to know his ties to home that will make him come back not stop there. Things like family, job property. But also the thing with his money will have been a black mark, so any excuse will do to refuse visa. |

Re: How Painful US Visa Denial Could Be.... by Abdulrafii: 7:15pm On Aug 16, 2014 |
Hnnnnnmmm...I can see people posting about US Visa. I have an extenuating story to share too. First, I am a muslim with two Muslim names and those who are well informed about the US embassy, u will know the possibility of me getting it 10%. My First application was in Belfast, northern Ireland, United Kingdom. I had 8k quid in my barclays bank account and 1year 3months UK Visa on my passport, a fresh masters student of Petroleum and Gas Engineering of University of Manchester UK, paid 20k quid for school fees already, 6k quid for 1year accommodation. ... With all this, i felt i dont have a reason to be denied. I went for the interview and infact i answered all the questions to the extent that the consular was laughed profusely.. I just felt i was going to be approved visa but ehhhhmmmm this man excused me for about 5minutes and came back to say he is sorry he couldnt approve me. He couldnt even look at me. I smiled and said to him "Mr Consular you dont have to feel bad, I understand you have granted alot of visas to people today, I will try my luck next time, He looked shocked and couldnt say a word, I left shaking and terribly disappointed. 7months later, my cohorts applied for a conference visa in embassy in London and they were all given 2years. This heightened my motivation, I also applied for a conference visa, went to the embassy in London. I answered all the questions too and it was same denial. I asked the woman consular this time why i was denied and she asked me to read the paper she gave me. I left the embassy and said to myself it was a deadlock and i wasnt gon apply again. But as my visa in the UK ran out, I became terribly scared, I didnt want to go back to Nigeria and start looking for Job, and Jobs in the Uk are hide and seek... This time my course was rounding off in 2weeks and i knew I may be forced to go back to Nigeria. This time I had about 650quid in ma account, my house accommodation was running out that same month and had just 3month 2weeks visa left in my passport. My friends told me I wont just be denied, but my passport will be seized because its obvious i was too desperate....Hnnnnmmm, unfortunately two of our friends applied for visitation and they were also denied that period which should make me never wanna apply again cos they told them at the embassy their course was finishing in 2weeks. I just woke up one of this days and felt its better to know i tried and was denied rather than to accept DENIAL. I registered for a conference in the US that same day and applied for another conference visa. It will also interest you to know when i applied for the visa, i didnt upload a passport. I was given an appointment day and you will be shocked to hear the only document i went to the embassy with aside the visa form was the conference invitation letter. Didnt print any bank statement or any school letter. I went for appointment and the only thing the beautiful lady asked me was what i was going to do in the US and my invitation letter. I gave her and asked her if she wanted me to tell her anything she said was fine. After a couple of minutes, she said my visa was approved. At first i thought i was hallucinating but then i realised VISA APPLICATION IS JUST LUCK......Never loose hope, always keep trying, there is power is persistence 10 Likes 1 Share |

Wow It's been a long time I've been here. Man must work. Ok, just my random thoughts on visa applications from Nigeria 1. Like someone said what has God got to do with a Visa (and you know you go to the embassy with fake documents) 2. People go to school in the US by borrowing i.e school loans- the consular officer is actually very nice by giving you a visa if anyone other than your parents are paying 3. Think for a minute about how many people all over the world apply for a USA visa everyday; your case is not special. To the consular officer, you are just the next number on a list. 4. Imagine you are a Nigerian embassy staff interviewing people who in Somalia, or Niger, or Iran, who want to come to Nigeria, how many people will you give visas to Nigeria. Be honest with yourself! Peace. 5 Likes |

I actually pity the consular officers. They have maybe 5 mins to decide whether to give you a Visa or not, and they don't know whether you are Boko haram........ 1 Like |

babyfaiz: This is what I can see wrong. 1. Your salary is 6M per year. You are spending 1M on a trip that is almost 20% of your salary on a vacation. This is the biggest red flag. When I traveled to Nigeria from USA, I only spent about 5% of my salary. 2. Interior design. Graphics design was OK, the interior design part is sketchy. Interior design is a person who arranges furniture and curtains and stuff in houses. We Americans do not think we are any better than any one else. I am American born and breed. I am my Nigerian fiance's equal. I don't think it was an intellectual challenge against the person. Think of it as a challenge against the presumption of intent to immigrate. If you were a consular officer, what would convince you that a person wasn't trying to immigrate. Go over your case and look for the holes in it and weak spots versus getting into an intellectual battle with someone who isn't fighting you. A refusal is tough, trust me I know. But if you are genuine, keep trying and strengthening your package and once you prove that you have a life in Nigeria that you will not abandon, you will get approved. Hope that helps |
