Correct!

Even marrying on a B1/B2 visa is not a misuse of the visa as long as the marriage happened three months after ones arrival into the US and one can convince the immigration officers that the marriage is genuine and not a fraud just for immigration benefits.

You are correct but let me also add that even if it happens before three months what's most important is evidence the marriage was entered in good faith.

I understand people wait three months due to 30-60-90 days rule in the manual which actually raises questions on preconceived intent. However, I advice people to go ahead and do what they want as long as it's genuine. The rule is not a guide on marriage.. In fact immigration know this information is on the internet so waiting 3 months is now a pattern.

I Attended my interview at Abuja, let me summarized what transpired...
Vo..... Where are you going to in the United States
Me.... New Jersey
Vo.... What are you going for
Me... My Neicee is getting married.
Vo... Who will you stay with
Me... My brother
Vo..... How long has he lived in the United States
Me.... Over 15 years
Vo..... Where does he work
Me.... United States Postal Service
Vo.... Are you married
Me..... Yes
Vo..... Do you have kids
Me... A baby boy, we are expecting another
Vo... Where do you work
Me... A senior Lecturer at Federal Polytechnic......
Vo...what is your qualification
Me... Bsc, Msc, and and i Just defended my
Phd, am due for convocation in October.
Vo.... How much do you earn
Me... 312,498
Vo... How come you are working and earning degree at the same time
Me...its standard practice in the academia to work and up grade yourself and earn your promotion at the same time. Further more, i have been a lecturer for almost 10 years.
Vo... You were Denied visa before, when
Me... Yes, April 13, 2005
Vo... Have you applied since then
Me... No
Vo.....why
Me.. The need and opportunity never came till now
After typing for about 3 Minutes, I was shocked to be Denied by a black American American who is about 20 years old, note ;no document was asked for, eg, Certificates, employment/promotion letters, bank statement, etc
By the way am 37 years.
It hurts, it really hurts.
Those guys are acting a script directed by the white House.
Good luck to future applicants.
Before i Forget, the Lady kept saying keep your documents, look at me.






In my personal opinion your reason for travelling to the US at this time does not meet the recent standards targets reducing issuing US visa to Nigerians.

I mean the VO believe you are good but if you don't attend your niece wedding other elderly relatives can.
At this time the US embassy in Abuja and Lagos are more interested in highly important travels. She didn't waste time asking for your travel history.

This is my own opinion.

I had a hunch that might have been what she was looking out for in my bank statement but it would be improper to come to a conclusion by relying solely on my personal bank statement.The Ghana trip was funded from the company account and I didn't see it fit to go to the interview with the company statement of account since the intended trip was going to be privately funded.Kindly send me a link to the Disneyland in Dubai let me see if I can get my wife to buy in.Thanks.

If large funds (N11m) only sat in your account for a short time without prior regular inflow and outflow of similar large amounts it might be seen as not good enough. My guess .

Why would you want to go to the USA as a tourist when you know fully well that you are not financially capable for the trip (Domestic staff)cos you would be using up almost all your fund on the trip?
Why not try Dubai or even Europe.

What do u do for a living [Qquote author=odehbrainard post=67984628]

My friend didn’t exactly misuse his visa, in fact he has completed his studies and before he decided to marry his wife who is 25 and an African American, he was already studying for an MSc. He definitely has no reasons to want to even live there, he is from a very previlege background, dad is a resident electoral commissioner, his dad is cousins with a former governor of my state plus the mum is late.

I have been to the UAE severally about 5times and Southafrica once. I have virtually no intentions of staying there, I have never stayed beyond the stipulated time I was given on any occasion have been abroad. I have been to the UK twice with my parents as a minor but my parents misplaced my passports when they were moving out of my old house to a new one they built years ago.

Those misplaced passport did me a bit of bad cause when I was to go to the UK for my Bsc, I was denied with the claim that they weren’t sure I would return even when I had passed all the listed points based requirements.

I stated it on my F1 application 2014, thus I took a break from trying to go anywhere but Dubai and not too long ago southafrica cause of the ease with which the visas were issued.

Had to give a detailed explanation boss cause i am in no way thinking of telling a lie just for a visa, I am just seeking knowledge from here as to how people got theirs and learn from their experiences too, and from reading through thread 1,2 and now 3, I believe an still learning. [/quote]

Dear fellow Nairalanders,

I am to ask for your help on appointment issue. I have a profile with which I applied for interview long time ago with my family including my mother and now, I want to book for visa renewal appointment for ONLY my mother but am having problem booking for her since the profile is for me. that's my details.

I have tried to create a profile for her using another of my email but the system refused since her details are already on their system.

How do I remove my details so that I can have only hers and book for her only.

Pls treat as urgent.

Thank you

You can't separate it on your own.... Call the CGI help desk (see page 0 of this thread I think for the number search) and request of them to kindly help you do the separation from their end (arm yourself with an email address for her and details of her passport). Or use the PROVIDE FEEDBACK button on your profile to make the request, either way works! Regards

I would advise you to use an agent to lie on your behalf - that way you can be banned for 10 years and not have to waste anyone's time in future about how to apply for a US visa.

Your case was not religiously different - you simply met the requirements. No need to gloat at the misfortune of others.

For you - 25th May, 2019 latest, not 2018. Ten days short of 1 year of your visa expiration at the most that is....

hello house, please what does it mean if someone's case is under administrative processing? I got the white form about two weeks ago but i have not gotten notification on the passport collection.
i sent a mail to the consulate and got to know that my case is under administrative processing, does this mean anything negative or can one still have the visa turned down through this process?

Ongoing checks, meaning you can still be turned down.... Have you tried using the status check tool to see what it says? It may have been ISSUED and you are just only having a communication gap between you and the CGI/DHL crew!

Click and choose NIV first, then location and input your DS160 number..... Just follow the lead of the prompts, you should be able to arrive at destination.
