@Justwise,
I am really grateful for the good work you have been doing. I know there are threads regarding the USA visa thing but I opened this because I haven't really gotten the answer I need.

My fiancee and I will like to get a visit visa to USA to do some shopping for our upcoming wedding. We have a daughter already who is in primary school but she isn't going along. When I meet an agent, the price I was given was N700,000 for a week visit which includes hotel booking and visa but to me it's really looking on the very high side.

I got a website were we can do the application ourselves and the visa fee payable to GT Bank was N31,200 each.

Please sir, my question to you or anyone with good knowledge of this is that:

1. As we are not yet married and are planning to, will our wedding invitation card be helpful when we have successfully booked an interview?

2. Would the fact that we already have a daughter bearing my surname though not going with us give them enough reason to believe we intend to still return after our visit?

3. My dad was down with stroke and ever since then I have been the one taking care of his finances. He is a pensioner getting over N500,000 monthly and I haven't been working because I run his account and affairs for him and so he put me on a monthly pay of N200,000 just so I am always around him. Please will his statement of account be enough proof that I am capable of taking care of my trip with his consent being that I have to use his statement of account?

I really need your advice on the best possible way to go about this in order to successfully secure a visa to USA. I will also be glad if you can inform me of any other documents you feel will help me achieve this successfully.

Thank you.
