2years now of following this thread and read all pages. (Kind of addicted now to reading stories. Always fun) December 2015 I was denied visa with wify and daughter. We were on tourism and wife for delivery. We had no prior travel experience.( thank God my boy was delivered in good health with mother doing great)I was a business man doing fine but January 2016 I got a government job in Abuja which is my occupation now.

Not true. Being honest is your best bet. If you have changed jobs, explain. What leads to red flags are lies.

austinelex:
hellooo pple in d house i am 25years old a trader and i am single i intend applying for non immigrant us visa thou i earn about 180k In a month and i don' have any travel history my question now is 1:how do i convince d vo dat i wud be bak as soon as possible 2:does rented apartment and a shop with one sale rep prove as strong tie my good pple in d house i nid ur urgent response so dat i can learn pls

25 years, single, a trader making less than $600/month gross, no concrete ties... your chances are slim.

tyman:
Good day house, pls I need an urgent advise. I applied for B1/B2 visa last year through a agent who filled the online forms on our behalf with his email, though we were denied.

Now, I want to reapply myself,
(1) can I start afresh with a different email?
(2) Won't there be no recourse to my formal application in terms of some information.

Please I need an honest response and guidance cos these had been bordering me.

Thanks and God bless.

Do you know what the agent filled in that form on your behalf? That form never goes away and is forever tied to you so if the agent lied there on your behalf, good luck getting a US visa.

@bliz if you changed jobs, u changed jobs. Honesty is the key that has been preached on every page here as u well know.
God's grace

Good morning house

Gurus in the house please help oo in May 2017 my grandma was denied a b1/b2 visa and now she wants to reapply so, my question is: does she need to print a new ds160 or just use the previous one? Thanks

idolda:
Good morning house this is my third time of asking this question please help a brother. I work 2 jobs (full time and part time) with my full time job paying a little bit above #110k while the part time (blogging) pays a minimum of #200k per month. Do you think it's advisable to include my part time job's earning in my application?

Also, will be staying with a resident retiree in USA during my 2 weeks visit (will be fully responsible for financing my vacation, hope that's OK?)

Uncle. The guide to answering your questions asked or unasked is : state the true state of affairs
All jobs you do are your jobs so why would you not state it?
It doesn't matter who sponsors you as long as u have actual ties back home. Take for example. Blogging which is the backbone of your income can be done even from the moon as long as there is internet access and a system. So in terms of ties ,for Me ,a non vo.... It leaves much to be desired.
However only a vo can evaluate you wholly based on your ds 160

Hello all. I'm also one of the silent readers. I covered a lot of material here before going for my interview this morning and I must say, this forum helped tremendously. From getting a good parking space to avoiding touts with their "Staple your forms together, photocopy your data page...etc". Also got a good feel of all the possible questions. I thank you all....LadyG et al.

A year and half of work with government, okay. What's your pay like in that and generally? Travel experience to where please? Not entirely good to go IMO, because I for one seem to be seeing a pattern here though.

Good morning. I want to apply for America visa with my wife. We have three children, we have school both primary and secondary. Really am a contractor is my wife that is in charge of the school. Question 1. I want to apply with my wife alone
Question 2 . am looking at using our school statement account
Question 3. Applying without our children hope will not affect our application

It is refreshing to read your answer. You are right. I just wanted to reconfirm all I had read. The stress of rejection isn't a pleasant feeling. I had to double check with the gurus.
