God bless u sister ucystan for that well documented transcript. Gold standard mehn! If I get the authority to mark transcript na 100% r gee u.
No be all this salary : bla
What do u do : I told him

Actually, the time question was to observe the demeanour of your husband. He had asked him some questions eg the salary question where he faltered a bit. Then after answering the other questions, he wanted to compare his body language with an unplanned question and the ones he clearly must have expected. Psych 101.
Congrats

juliuslongman:
the vo wanted to be sure about figures... You know you made a mistake with your salary figure and you made same with your time even while looking at your time..... The vo wanted to be sure if the salary you mentioned was real or you just filled that... That's psychology

LadyGuinivere:
@FPL visa party! Chaiiiiii!

I even heard a man slaughtered cow to celebrate his.

epudomij:
Hello, please advise me, whilst filling out my US visitor's visa form, a section there asks information about my spouse. He's in Canada and I've applied for Canadian visit visa twice (once before wedding and once after wedding), unfortunately I was refused on both occasions. Now will the fact that my husband is in Canada be a disadvantage for my US visa application? Will the VO think I won't return to Nigeria seeing that we do not have any kids yet?

wunmi38:
Good morning all
I want to state what we have gone Tru in the past and where we are presently
In 2013 and 2014 Jan we were denied visa 4 medical base on B1 which I believe might be our mistake den becose we both applied on B1 but after the denial and the birth of our baby in 2014 my wife and son went to UK for 4 months in 2014 and I also got a 2yrs visa I also used in February 2015 which was not our 1st time in the UK. We decided we visit a family friend for the next vacation we have now applied on B2 for me, wife and son. Want to know what people feel about the past application and the future interview coming up dis month end and any advice that can be rendered towards the application we plan visiting in July by then I will be on my annual leave

chloe7:
I wasn't asked any questions on my no-show application where I applied for child birth in June last year, I don't think no show applications count, I think it is when you attend the interview and your case file is opened then you have your records on their computer, my mum too once had a no show application and she wasn't asked anything near the information she filled then.

LadyGuinivere:

Sorry about the refusals Wumni.
Your question is vague really. People get denied and then get visas. Without knowing the reason why one was refused, nobody can give u any cogent advice. Howevr all I can say is read this thread to learn from the transcripts and avoid common pitstops and mistakes in form filling and the interview and most important be 100 percent honest in your application. Its hard work but worth it
Only u can self evaluate your ties. Nobody can tell you your chances.

terrywales:
I am a master student in one of the university in Turkey. I planned to attend a conference in the US as part of my research for my final thesis. My question is, who should I fill as my sponsor bearing in mind that I am cabable of financing my trip but as a student I think this will raise an eye brows. Should I use my mum account or my brother account. Thanks.

roblance:
I want to reapply now to go for a conference next month on Animal Agriculture. Wouldnt it raise a [b][red flag/b] if I filled in my job description that I am the Managing Director of .........company when I already filled in the last DS form that am the General Manager of ......... company??

worry359:


How many people does the company employ?
Visa officers see many Nigerian companies with three people
CEO, Managing Director, General manager. All taking turns to push truk in the market.

roblance:


ahahhahahahhah, the company I work for has 15 office staffs and 78 factory workers.
For mine, 5 office staffs including me, and 27 factory workers.
Do they ask that during interviews?
