You can give it a try....no where to indicate you have been refused a visa before in visa application form.... unless there was a Denied stamp on your passport........am not sure the type of visa you will be applying for. because B1/B2 visa is not for training and for you to secure a student visa you need to hv I20. J1 Visa will be the best if you are a Professional

I sincerely appreciate your reply. I choose B1/B2 because its also stated in my invitation letter that i will use the training and seminar opportunity to attend one of their departmental conference scheduled to take place around that period of my training and i am not a professional but a postgraduate student here in Europe. Do you mean i can still change my visa type of application to J1 visa?

Thanks in anticipation sir/ma!

The B1/B2 visa covers a variety of reasons for travel to the United States that includes both business and tourism/non-business purposes.

Reasons for travel under a B1/B2 visa include but are not limited to:

Conducting business, such as negotiating a contract or attending business meetings
Attending a conference relevant to a profession, education, or current business endeavor
Settling a relative’s estate
Engaging in tourist activities or take a vacation
Visiting family
Receiving medical treatment
Attending or taking part in events, such as concerts or classes, as long as there is no payment or credit given to the attendee

Guys , does anyone know if the B1 B2 visa is still ongoing with reasonably close dates (including next year)? There were some speculations that they're pushing the interview dates as far as 2024. even their website says 824 days that is 2yrs+ ... any up-to-date information would be highly appreciated ...

no dates availabe in abuja as of 18th oct 2021

2024 to attend a visa interview that you will most likely be rejected. Who wait that long on a fools errand.

As opposed to what if I may ask?
Also, if there is an appointment for Nov 2021, will that lead to approval, or is it the 2024 that will lead to the non-approval in your statement?

well noted and i appreciate your contribution in this regard. In my case, do you advise i continue to apply under B1/B2 visa category in order to attend the training, seminar, and also conference as indicated in my invitation letter?

Thank you!

Are you saying some people are actually booking for 2023/2024 date?

lol yes people are booking appointment for 2023 /2024....i wonder what they are going to tell the Consular officer.

they may be able to change to an earlier date later on..when things normalize...as of today, still no date available

and what happen to the Intended date of Traveling ? Better not to Complicate your Application. you can't fill visa application form in 2021 and tell them your intended traveling date is 2023/2024

That makes no sense then

I don't know why people cannot just leave that embassy for now, why will a sane person pick 2023/2024 for visa interview, no be juju be that

Had my interview today but visa was denied. It pains ooo

Hello gurus in the house, I would like to ask some questions about B1/B2 visitor visa,

I am a student in Europe, I got an invitation letter from a university in the states to attend a 3 weeks training and seminar which i have been given a topic to present at the seminar, it was stated in the invitation letter that i will be attending one of their departmental conference during my period of visit. It also stated in the invitation letter that my accommodation, food, and local transportation will be covered and i will be picked up at the airport by the university rep on the day of my arrival in the states...These are my questions?

1. 2019, i was rejected a Canadian student visa from Nija...July 2021 i was rejected UK visa to attend a conference base on covid 19 and financial reasons and the visa application was made in Europe. What is my chance of getting approved for the US visa?

2. In 2014 i traveled to UAE.... in 2019 i visited Ghana. recently i visited Germany and turkey. Will these visited countries fly as travel history?

3. I intend to use self-sponsorship for the trip, although all my living expenses for the 3weeks stay will be covered by my host institution in the state... I have a registered business in Nigeria being run and managed by my staff while I'm here for my studies and the business documents is with me, can this prove my source of income....?

Thank in anticipation as you take your precious time to answer my questions above!

Consider these factors;
In what European country are you?
Your level of study -- Masters, Phd
Your course of study
The host university

Hello Friends,

Please need help urgently.

I recently updated my D160 confirmation code to a new one, but this is different from the one used in booking my interview appointment.

I have read how pple have issues with their D160 confirmation code and the one used for booking the appointment.

Please guys i need advise as to whether this has any implications as i will not like to be turned back due to that difference.

I need help please as my interview date is less than 2weeks.

God bless u all!!

Hello everyone,

I want to apply for a B1 Visa for a conference which is 2weeks. But I want to stay in the US for 3 months in total. What do I put as my length of stay in the DS160 form?

Simply go to where you booked your interview appointment (cgi website), edit your profile and update the new ds160 confirmation number there

Why would you want to go for a conference and stay for three months? You are setting yourself up for refusal.

Hello Friends and family, How are you guys? please i humbly need your urgent reply.

Due to Last year Lockdown, I overstayed in the US uptill 9months. form February 18th 2020 to November 20th 2020

I traveled to US on the 18/02/2020 and was suppose to return back to Lagos, Nigeria 31st of March 2020, due to the Airport closure that started 20/03/2020 in Nigeria my flight was cancelled. but i quickly filed for an Extension in the US and i have been issued with a receipt by the USCIS FORM I-797C (Notice of Action for Extension).

This would by my 4th time Visit in the US, I have never overstayed my visit except this very last one as mentioned above that was
caused by the global Covid 19 Pandemic lockdown and ENDSARS protest in Nigeria.

Now I'm about to renew my B1/B2 Visa again, i hope i'm good to go?.

Please your reply will be highly appreciated.

As long as you extended, you are okay, But what if they ask you why didn't you leave with the evacuation flight in July ?
