@Royals1, your visa application was rejected based on lack of honesty and no strong reason of going to the US. How can a Manager of a cleaning company earn 180k after tax? Please do not reapply until after 3months, that's the immigration law. Thanks 2 Likes |

mya1: Just FYI! England is not equal to Britain. Historically, Britain refers to the three countries without Ireland (now just Northern Ireland). Officially, the whole of the Union is refered to as The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (now just Northern Ireland). 1 Like |

Der mya1:Also just FYI, England does not equate to Britain. Britain refers to the countries you listed without Nortern Ireland. But it's also used to refer to all four countries as well since the people are not United Kingdomists but British. |

ur chances definitely goes up when you apply as a family, then secondly do your hotel reservation and don't use any relative's information, if your bank statement is stronger than your husband's then use yours. Good luck. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Royals1: Sorry about your denial! The key to getting your non immigrant visa to United States of America is your Ds - 160 form. They already know if you are qualified for a visa even before your scheduled interview day through the Ds - 160 form you filled and submitted prior to your interview. The consular officers don't know who you are but the little information given on the Ds - 160 form. You might want to consult a professional to guide you through when you decide to reapply perhaps after 200 days. Goodluck! 1 Like |

SkinnyDude: The reason isn't baseless. Even someone on benefit can still deny self and save for a family holiday over time. I know how many months it takes me to save for a family holiday. This applicant simply stood no chance. The visa officer was in no mood to hang about. Experience shows one with a confident personality and convincing responses stand the best chances at such interviews as US visas. Reapply next time and better luck ok. 2 Likes 1 Share |

bros i think u took dis too lightly like most of us do in most things we do. just knw dat getting a naija visa frm other countries too is difficult. one advantage u need to have is dat u need to travel to @least another country b4 applying for US visa.this gives u an added advantage and u need to be convincing while replying questions. i would advice that u don't lie in any circumstance. i did apply with ma wife once n got the visa even wen i told them that i'd like ma wife to deliver over there. so its no big deal but some of us just don't prepare adequately before embarking on any serious venture. |

Please stay in your country! And if you want to see your cousin badly, you can easily Use Skype Chat Video call. You are traveling all the way from 9ja to US to see someone? You know how much the ticket would cost you? Be honest 1 Like 1 Share |

The same thing happened to me at first my first interview date was cancel due to there network and they re schedule me for another 3weeks, which was about a month ago.... almost identical question as the OP, here is my own version Embassy: What are you going to do in the US Me: I'm going for a 2 weeks holiday in Manhattan, New York Embassy: Do you have any relatives in the US ? Me: NO Embassy: Where will you stay during your visit ? Me: I have booked a 2 weeks confirmed / fully paid accommodation at so so hotel in Manhattan Embassy: What do you do in Nigeria Me: I work for so so Logistics Company as Senior Administrative Officer Embassy: How much do you earn Me: I earn 230k Per Month Embassy: Are you married ? Me: Yes i am married with 2 beautiful kids Embassy: Scroll through my passports (I have 2 passports attached together one expired and the new passport was issued in London) and asked which countries i have been to Me: I have been to Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia and the UK (UK was a 4yrs student visa) Embassy: I see you didn't make use of your Cambodia Visa, What happened ? Me: I was going with a friend, we couldn't book the same flight so he went before me, i was to meet him 2 days after, he got there and 2nd day he was robbed, he called me to inform me its not safe so i cancel my ticket and didn't bother to visit the country. Embassy: How long have you been working for your company Me: 2yrs Then she typed and typed then print out the almighty refusal letter and said i can reapply if i want Now i think i understand why she refused me reading from experience people here I think my answer was too straight forward and i applied alone leaving my wife and kids behind Also at the time my bank statement balance was around 3Million Naira which ofcus she didnt bother to ask, meanwhile i have other business that fetch me money which i should have mentioned when she asked how much i earn Do anyone believe i stand a chance if i reapply and correct the error i highlighted ? Thanks. 1 Like |

Royals1: @Op you should have said you are going for holiday. Also you should have mentioned the name of your company and i guess you should have stated you wanted to spend 4 weeks, sounds more realistic for a first timer. When they asked if you were married you didnt have to say you had a kid because you werent asked that. Your salary as well you didnt have to say N180k after tax, you should have just stated the full amount. Yankee visa is easy to get once you know your facts and always go study your application form properly before the interview date. 2 Likes |

It's funny how people are just speculating the reason for the refusal.For every visa refusal,there's always a stated reason why one was refused so op should tell us their reason for refusing him. 1 Like |
