Hello good people. Please I'm in dire need of direction here and I'd appreciate your input in terms of advice on how best I can tackle this issue.
Couple of weeks to my wedding last year, my then fiancé got admitted for her masters in the USA together with a partial scholarship. After much deliberation and considerations, we decided to go ahead with the wedding plans. She left the shores of Nigeria exactly a week after our wedding. The plan was for me to join her there within the shortest time possible. I applied for B1/B2 three months after she left, but was denied the visa. Fast forward to April this year, I also got admitted to the same school my wife is currently schooling and I've started making plans to appear again for another visa interview, of course, F1 this time. My fear now is that they'd always make reference to my failed attempt last year where I stated I was visiting my wife briefly for vacation. I had already filled in as married and gave away the info that my wife is in USA. It seem as if I don't have strong tie here in Nigeria again since they already know my wife is in the US. I need guidance on how best to fill my DS160 and how I can defend it on the interview day that I would come back to Nigeria despite the fact that my wife is in the US.
