VCTROKOYE: please, i applied for student's visa in 2001. Then I didn't include all the names of my family members in my application because I was advised that since they are based in USA, it would affect my chance. Then I was denied on the ground that I could not answer some questions about my school. Now, I want to reapply for a different purpose and I want to include all the names including that of the ones in USA.
Please, do I stand a chance?

t4tharyo: Hello House
Help! Help! Help!
I filled my ds 160 form today, coz am going for my interview this week. But to my suprise i notice the PLACE of BIRTH on my data page is different from that of my "ds 160 confirmation page"
My "ds 160 confirmation page" shows my city & country(Ebute Metta Nigeria) has my place of birth, while my Passport data page shows the state(LAGOS) has my place of birth. Please what should I do? Before it gets too late.
Thanks..

MrsM: Hello house...is it possible for someone who has not travelled anywhere else before to get a US visit visa? I'm thinking of applying for my mum,but she hasnt been anywhere before. And also does anyone know anyone who got a visit visa on a virgin passport? Thanks in advance

ti-ebe:
My good people! i'm planning to visit the U.S as a tourist in july. I dont want to have to go as a family visitor. the only relative close enough to invite me is even a distant relative. I've been to holland, uk as family visitor and dubai and Barbados as tourist. I'm a single gal, work in an oil firm, have land, and fixed dep. now, my questions are:

will i be seen to have enough ties in Nigeria?
How much do i need to have in my acc to satisfy VO? seeing as i have most of my dough in my fixed dep. do i need to present that as well?
how do i 'prove' i am actually going there for tourism?

many thanks

tzetzefly:

You have quite a whole lot going for you there......

You have been to the Caribbean Island, Asia, Europe/Shengen.

You quite have an extensive travel history right there.......

First and foremost, the VO will try to nail you from that angle asking:

1. What has been your purpose for past travels as indicated on your passport page?

2. What is your job specification and what are your duties?

3. Do you have families resident outside Nigeria and if Yes, what is their status?

4. How much is your income and show your bank statements..?

5. What are your activities or what do you have back home that can make you return, ''if'' granted visa...?

6. Take note, all your past travel histories has no meaning at the US Embassy as you are still viewed as a potential immigrant...

Your reply to these questions and your confidence in the first 1.5mins before the VO, will decide your fate....

suxes2005: Hi all,

Each time anyone calls me either from NL or
from referral and I tell them to try the United States
they think its the hardest visa to get in life but this
is not true.

I will like anyone interested in going to usa as a visitor
to state his or her interest here so that i can show you
the way to go about it right here, we will all see the
result of the application here.

galala123:

With US visa, you never know, but when I was there for interview last month some peeps were not given on the ground that their business is still too new. The VO said something like, grow your business, get more years experience in your business and get it deeply rooted then come back. Coz they may ask you "and how long have you been in this line of business?" (If your answer is 2 months, it may not sound too well oh)

ayoolaade: Hi House

Please i have 1 quick question.

Met this travel agent through a family friend and he packaged all the necessary document for Me and my wifey, We went for an interview (US EMBASSY ABUJA) but the application was refused.

We want to re-apply again, doe i still remember all the info the agent fill in for us, but i cant remember what he fill in as my occupation and my wifey.

I have my own Company now and my wifey working with a law firm now.

On the US application form, we need to fill in previous occupation but we cant remember what the Agent guy fill in then,

Can we just ignore the previous occupation section and put our real occupation, do you think this will not be a problem, maybe it will be ask where we both work before on the interview day.

Please help needed ASAP
