LadyGuinivere:

Yes sir. If you read, to the best of my ability, I will try to clear any cobwebs or confusion u have.
I employed sarcasm to jolt u to read because most people that come here want to be spoonfed

Ok o ... I am ever rugged, ever dogged and ever tenacious, once i set out to achieve something nobody can discourage me.

Thanks anyway

seyewest:
Do you have the code?

it later opened thanks jare. I'm still filling ooh. Taking my time.

worry359:


After you receive the letter
You should open it.
Then you should read it.
After that you can BURN it.

USA visa officer will not look at invitation!
We have said this many many times if only people would read back!

You will be judged on ties to home and robust finances .

they checked mine, although jes for 3sec, and it went well.

Akiliogidi:

haba! Lady G, did i offend u?

Which one b did u offend her? This thread reminds me of that article tittled " these lazy africans". Nigerians always looking for people to do their dirty work for them. No wonder these VO kept on refusing us visas.

Good Afternoon Hon House,

Please need steps on how to renew my kids b1/b2 visa expired April, 2016. Age 4 and 6 respectively, visa used once last yr November. Read that they qualify for dropbox, also what document can i include, my visa is still valid.

Thanks for any useful info

The process for renewal of cisas is the same irrespective of age.
The process and documents needed are in the dropbox renewal section of the US embassy website

worry359:

You were denied on 214b, lack of ties to prove return home.
They are not interested in an invite. The want to see your strong ties to home. Things like job, family , property.
Read back from page one, we have repeated this information many times.

thanks@worry,burger n lagy g...

thanks@worry,burger n lagy g...I have started reading through but now am thinking I may just have to fall back to attending a conference since the invitation doesn't really count and then use same opportunity to visit my uncle whom I so much long to meet. yes I earn enough to cover my travel expenses.. although if conference, my coy will be responsible.. I am only engaged to be married next year. I guess this should work cos at least I love my job so much isn't that enough tie. thanks

So in January this year I was denied a US visa even with a good travel history, good job, etc. As soon as the V.O asked me if i was married and I said No, he said there was an issue with his system, left, came back, typed for a few secs and then said i was ineligible for a visa as I had insufficient ties.

Reapplied again this month, had my interview on Monday.

V.O: Good day ma'am
Me: Good day
V.O: May I know why you want to go to the US
Me: Replied that I was going to attend an event, and also take some time off work to rest before my professional exams due in March
V.O: Where in the US will you be visiting
Me: Told her where I'll be staying
V:O: Where do you work and what are your duties there
Me: Explained this to her
V.O: Do you have kids
Me: No ma'am
V.O: Congrats, your visa is approved. Pick up your passport in 3 days,..*hands me the white paper

My interview was so short and the same answers I gave were the ones I gave when I was interviewed in January. To be honest it's just favour. Pray you get inteviewed by a sensible V.O and I think picking a 7am appointment helped..lol. At least that way they're just starting their day, not stressed out and nobody will have vexed them.lol. I was the second person to be interviewed by the V.O that day

mimibe:
yes

You need to get in touch with him or her... if not you need to write the embassy about the situation.

Bekeee:

You may be passionate about traveling to the U.S but you're not ready in my own opinion... One thing I can promise you is that if you can start from the first thread through the second thread.. You will understand what I'm talking about.

1. The embassy recognises that families Often have different surnames. They do not require you to change your name. You may go with supporting documents cos I dunno if they look at those in SA. In Nigeria, they don't. To date, my passport is still in my maiden name and LordG and I aPplied at different times and got our visas.
However, in circumstances like yours, its more common to see the kids bearing the father's surname and not the mother's on their birth and travel documents. But if your story is legit, then you can be able to prove it.
2. I do not quite understand the question. Do you all intend to travel? Then yes, apply as a family if your ties are solid (work, salary, travel history etc). If you feel it isn't quite fantastic, then maybe you guys should have one parent stay back as a tie
I see you pm'd me. Sorry ma. I don't do pms for visa issues. I'm here to answer any question I can

Yhooo , thanks so much LadyG I feel really honored to read from you. About the pm, didn't know how to go about it as am new to Nairaland

Thank you once again.

God bless.

@Ruthy honour ke! I'm just an mgbeke feeling funky o!

good afternoon house. A friend went for his interview yesterday and was refused. He checked his status this afternoon and it says his passport is still with the US embassy. Has anyone experienced this?

Was his passport collected from him? Cos I'm at a loss as to why he was tracking if he was refused.

HIS passport was given to him oo. The appointment dashboard was where he saw it. he wants to reapply against next year. That was how he got to see it.

Things like this happen... what he should do is check his application status from www.ceac.state.gov.

Its just a network/updating glitch. He has his passport with him. No ish. The dashboard will be updated later

Pls i need help. I went for my interview and they wrote TB on my confirmation slip and asked me to reschedule after 48hours and I have been trying to do that now but they are telling me my MRV is invalid..pls I need help. How do i do this shit

LadyGuinivere:

1. Step 1. He will go to the post office and send the enveloped written letter.
2. Step 2. You go and receive it from the post office
Or he can burn it and you will receive the smoke and convert it to paper with some special incantations

Lol....LadyG...God bless d day I go see u,na hot peck I go give u.
