Me; Detroit, Michigan V.o...whats happening there? (facing his computer typing typing...) Me...I'm going for holiday vacation V.o...who invited you? Me...my brother-in-law (who's an Akata...i didnt say akata o) V.o...what do you do? Me...I own a printing and publishing company and run a poultry farm. V.o...How many staffs do you have? Me...10 staffs V.o...which of your business give you more income? Me...it varies depending on the season of each of the business. tried to explain further on festive season and lots more.

Re: USA Visit Visa Part 3 by valentino81(m): 4:35pm On Dec 19, 2017 |
To butress my point...i think the V.o were just denying pple for no reason, there was a lady who was previaously given a blue paper and she kept questioning the lady why she was refused, the V.o can't say anything and just ask her to bring back her passport and handed her a white paper for visa pick up.... So...this made people think they are just satisfying there own wish! 3 Likes 1 Share |

@valentono81 ... The kids are at home on holiday We are in festive period ( Both Christmas and New year is coming ) This is the season when the sales of chicken and eggs are at its pick. Now you decided to leave your family behind ( your beautiful wife and two lovely kids) to celebrate with your brother in-law and his family. This singular act shows how much you value your family. That is how white people reason. In everything family come first. My little observation 8 Likes 1 Share |

1. I think it maybe about your financial ability, why are you not travelling with family, do you make enough income from this business. 2. It could be a punitive measure, how did your brother-in-law and/or his wife enter the US? is your brother-in-law, a citizen? 3. Is this your first applying? 4. The business you are into, this is the season but I don't think this should make a difference, as you have workers working for you. 5. Maybe your business can't be easily verified e.g. a website, social media presence etc My opinion. valentino81: |

Re: USA Visit Visa Part 3 by LadyGuinivere: 6:29pm On Dec 20, 2017 |
Hmmmm @muskin ehhhh First. Purpose of trip? Me sef go deny una right there. Burial remembrance. Think it. Was he your father? Were you there when he died? Shebi he was buried without any of you being around? Shebi he was Nigerian? The shebi plenty but lemme stop there. 2nd. 'Aunt's son's wife's brother. Jehovah. As I type this I still don't gerrit. Your aunty born boy. The boy marry wife. The brother of the wife, not even the wife wants to go for this same memorial. OK. 3rd . At this stage any reasonable VO would have reached a conclusion to deny you all out of vex. Even if any of your had an impressive travel history or great ties, it still would not have made much difference cos the story was too complex Finally , the travel history wasnt that great. Your employment was doubtful. The other fellow is been sponsored. Why should he return. Next time, make una separate unasef go. Caveat:This is my opinion. 3 Likes |

Just to say the colour of colour of the paper isn't relevant. It has nothing to do with denial or approval Seasons greetings All |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 3 by MamaOO: 8:28pm On Dec 20, 2017 |
muskin:Sir, if I were the VO, I would deny you too. First, who spends millions to go and attend a remembrance in the US? Remembrance o, not even the burial oo. Your profile screams intending immigrant, honestly. Two: The part I bolded in green, aunt's son's wife brother. This person is barely even related to you, if he/she even counts as a relative in the first place. I honestly thought you could have even done without that piece of information you gave to the VO, it did you more harm than it did good. You can even see when the VO repeated what you told him/her and nodded OK. If I were at the embassy with during your interview, I would have laughed!! You even get mind to talk that kain thing. Three: A Executive Business Development Officer in five years?? Idongerrit too. All in all, I would advise you not to reapply because your chances of getting visa with this story is very very low, and changing your story after the initial story you just gave will just solidify your intending immigrant tag.

MamaOO: Huh...believe or not most applicants lately no matter the category of visas they're applying for are intended immigrants to hopefully emigrate permanent to the US even if they say otherwise. However, I don't blame some...the current situation in Nigeria is chasing them away and making people come up with all kind of ideas to fool the US visa officers for escape visas...lol! 1 Like |
