favored gal: Hi all, i am applying for US tourist visa (first time applicant, iv paid the visa fee but haven't filled forms or scheduled an interview yet....


So what do u guys think, his F4 date is 2006 and the bulletin is still in 2002, meaning he still has at least 5 years wait for that


Thanks in advance

Hello, how do you check the bulletin to know which prioritiy dates are being processed

Hi house,
I have been an avid reader but I never contributed. I applied for a tourist visa and took a lot of tips on here. I had my interview on the 9th and dressed sharply and formal with my I.D card on.
After all the protocols were duly observed. I was called to booth 2, which I did not pay any attention to all along. The interview took less than 4 minutes. She was a middle aged Caucasian.

Me: Good Morning (with a smile)
Interviewer: Morning (with a smile)

May I have your passport and application. I gave her.

Interviewer: Why do you intend to travel?
Me: For my vacation.

Interviewer: How long do you intend to spend?
Me: 21 days.

Interviewer: Are you married?
Me: No

Interviewer: Any Children?
Me: Not yet.

Interviewer: Where and who will you be staying with?
Me: Brooklyn NY. My aunt.

Interviewer: Where do you work?
Me: Lagos State Govt (She starts typing furiously) Bla bla bla

Interviewer: How much do you earn monthly?
Me: 224.... ( She looks up to the wall to check something)

Interviewer: Have you travelled out of the country before?
Me: Yes. United Kingdom

Interviewer: How many times?
Me: About 4

(She opens my passport and looks through it)

(She grabs a paper from her right side)

Interviewer: please pick up your visa on Tuesday. Have a nice day.
Me: Thank you. Have a nice day.

This was less than 5 minutes and none of my documents was requested for.
I was absolutely scared before I went up to her. I had analysed the available interviewers and it didn't look good until I was called to her. There were more immigrants visa been given than non- immigrants.
All I can say is
Dress your wage
Look her in her eyes
B confident and remember every single detail of what is on your form.
If possible travel to other places first.
A good income will aid you.

FrontPageLawyer: Good consultancy job. God bless you.

I'm 31years old, I will be applying for a visitor's visa this month, though appointment not yet booked.

I'm visiting strictly for tourist/to enjoy my life , sight seeing.

I have the underlisted.

- marriage certificate/wedding pictures

- two kids/birth certificates/ family picture.

- bank statements of account, current and dollar accounts, both with one bank. Reasonable

- three months old registered coy ( i have been into business for long and was working with my brother before i called it quit to start mine)

I buy new phones from new york to resell here through a friend; also visited dubai in March for same reason to buy phones. I have all the receipts. i have just bought a car from new york with the help of same friend to be sold when it arrives nigeria ( part of my business)

- i have three months left on my passport and i have been advised to renew which i have done ( so it looks news) no record of previous traveling exposure.

- i intend to spend 15 days in new york, hotel reservation, i don't need an invitation letter from this my friend. No time for too much questions.

Question is, what are my chances of having the visa?

Please advice. Or is there something missing? Or is there something i should add? Is my company too young, it's an oil and gas marketing business, outsourcing of AGO for corporate organisations.

To start with, never tell the CO you intend to buy car(s) or any gadgets from the States for resale in Nigeria. That will earn you instant denial. What you're going for is tourism not business.

You circumstance in Nigeria will determine if you will be issued a visa or not i.e. stable job, income at your disposal, family ties and travel experience (especially for vacation).....

Thanks boss.(tzetzefly)

Income is stable, family ties on point. I'm an entrepreneur with a registered company, but newly incorporated. I decided to start up mine haven't worked in family business for 6years. Do i need to show CO some prove of my past work?

Sure boss. I'm going strictly for tourism not to buy phones or cars. Let me reiterate, i said i usually buy phones from newyork through the help of a friend, same friend also bought a car for me recently which i will resell here. I'm saying my income is from my company (AGO procurement) sales of phones and cars which makes up my annual income.

Will i shoot myself in the leg if i mention to the CO i have a friend in new york who helps in buying phones and cars?

Please be precise, tell me how to go about it, dos and don't. It's not a do or die thing for me, i'm only going there to spend my hard earn cash

I no be boss abeg o! Am just a brother who cares. That kain thing...

Good for you to have that mindset of the visa not being ''a do or die affair''. However, never tell the CO about purchases like cars or otherwise for resale in Nigeria. You will end up shooting yourself in the leg.

Your previous work and the present one is necessary to give the CO an impression of economic continuity.

Hope this helps.....?

Hi Gbenge 77, Tzetzefly and the forum geniuses. I have a question. If one applies for a US Spousal visa, does the US Embassy hold on to the international passport?

My sister has a b2 visa that expires in 6 months but she also wants to apply for a spousal visa so by the time it's processing, she can still travel on her b2. Is this doable?

1. The US Embassy will never hold on to your passport except for a few days when you're certain to be issued with visa.

2. She had better use the 6 months remaining on her visa before applying for a spousal visa, because as soon as she applies, the valid B2 visa will be cancelled pending the outcome of her new application.

@tzetzefly

I'm a car dealer here in Nigeria with a registered company incorporated last year. I'm registered with Insurance Auto Auction as an exporter of cars in the USA.

I have the underlisted.

Marriage certificate/wedding pictures

Two kids/birth certificates/ family picture.

Bank statements of account, Savings, current and Domiciliary accounts.

I also pay directly from my bank here in Nigeria after winning a bid at the Auctions.

What Are my chances of getting USA visa

The CO(s) now frown at travellers engaging in importation of cars and trucks, reasons not clearly defined but the US Customs and Border Protection Agency may have a thing or two to do with this.

I will advise you get an American agent to do the shipping for you, and you only get to do the clearing in Nigeria to save yourself a red flag.....

ok...

[b][/b]@tzetze fly- is it possible to get a b1/b2 visa or a student visa with my immigrant visa application still pending.

It is going to be difficult for you. The CO will view you as an intending immigrant never to return....

Thanks for the swift response.So its possible but difficult yea?

It may be possible if you can show you have good financial statement covering your school tuition and living costs as well as show strong residence ties to your home country.

And also the wiligness / intention to leave the States at the expiration of your intended duration of studies hopefully with evidence of a job waiting for you in Nigeria after graduation.

Even at that, it is uncertain to sway the CO's mind in your favour.....

I will apply for as A tourist.

Thank you for the information. I will tell my sister

Secondly, my salary is #145000...Would they consider this amount low income or good enough Though I have about 1.4m in savings account
I'm 31, married with a kid, working for 6 years n 3 months now as a sales supervisor with a distribution company.

Being your first time as a traveller, your chances looks slim. You will need to prove to the VO that you're a genuine traveller who wishes to depart the US on expiration of your visit.

It is not compulsory you know someone in the US before going for vacation. Previous holiday experience abroad, only helps to sway the CO's decision in your favour.

Since you've paid for appointment, give it a try. Best of luck...

Or can i contract you in doing this?

Thank you great guy
