His status has already changed with his travel experience. The only hindrance is when the CO starts pondering why an applicant who got refused four times for a US visa albeit for tourism, now suddenly decides to change his profile as going for conference.

And mind you this applicant has never travelled for any conference related journey in his numerous past trips abroad. Now his decision is to apply again at one of the US Missions for conference.

The CO's are trained / paid to identify a potential immigrant metres away. They are not always right though....

No medicals for F1.

let me re phrase what reasons can i give at the embassy that will sound very convincing and the VO will be satisfied when applying for a visting visa to see an aunt and a childhood pal .

Pls guyz in d huz,i nid an answer to d followin question.'can sm1 who has bn given a 2year multiple entry visa for a conference in d states decide nt 2cm bak afta d conference is ova?if yes,wat steps cn d person take?pls i nid ansa ASAP.

@ Aruya the step to take if a person wants to stay back in the US is........ .to stay back and not return the I-94 card which is the proof that you've returned to your country. If a person chooses not to come back after such a trip, it means they will be penalized when eventually found out. Usually the I-94 white card is put in the passport on entering the US and specifies a stay not exceeding 6 mths. Beyond that, one would have to sustain one's self and attempt to get a job which will be difficult without a social security number which you DON'T get as a visitor. A stay more than 6 mths but less than 1 yr will attract a 3 yr ban while a stay beyond 1 yr attracts a 10 yr ban. As many ppl will tell you, it is not so easy settling in the US even for those there legally, even a few DV lottery winners have admitted to such; pls let that person count the cost well before making that decision. Friends hosting you during a conference/ vacation expect you to leave after a few weeks and one would be surprised how tough they can be on you once it is clear you wanna stay indefinitely.

hello tsetsefly pls help asap cos am having issues filling my DS160 form online, thats in the area of filling the u.s point of contact information. my question is do i use the hotel name as my point of contact info since i am going via hotel booking reservation and not a visiting information.

tzetzefly:

There is clearly something you're not doing right in your applications. But i tend to wonder how you come about obtaining the UK visas for yourself and family, and fail to get the Canadian TRV.

Actually there's nothing to fear in the US visa application process. The CO only wants to know that you're a genuine traveller willign to depart the US before the expiration of your stay. Once you can prove this, then they have no reason to refuse your application.

Between 2005 and 2008 when you applied, there must have been a process you followed and documents you presented. It is necessary we know what you encountered during that period, for us to advise you accordingly....

sorry my question is do i use the hotel name as my point of contact info since i am going via hotel booking reservation and not a visiting invitation.

Be calm, you will be informed at the embassy on the procedure to follow and the money to pay if required. The questions are just basic ones like how you met your wife, when you got married, how many kids you both have, what you do for a living etc....

The petitioner pays all money involve in the process to NVC. The beneficiary just shows up for the interview with the necessary documents. Hope you have your spouse current income tax transcript.

There is really nothing for you to worry about as long as your documents are genuine and you both are legally married. Please take your time to go through this information:

It depends on who the US citizen is to you: father, mother, siblings or spouse....

Spouse.

The length of time varies from case to case and cannot be predicted for individual cases with any accuracy. We are talking about several months or years on a case by case basis.

Some cases are delayed because applicants do not follow instructions carefully.

Sometimes the U.S. sponsor, or petitioner, cannot meet Affidavit of Support requirements.

Some visa applications require further administrative processing, which takes additional time after the visa applicant’s interview by a consular officer.

Ok thanks man.

Most of the posters don't sound like they qualify for a visit visa to the USA.
I don't mean it in a disparaging way, mind you. But it's easy to understand how the COs view Nigerian applicants.

Well . . . I am just wondering how you will expect to be given a nonimmigrant (visit) visa to the US, if you don't earn a reasonable amount of money, and have significant ties to Nigeria.

By ties I mean, ideally you are a settled family person with children, a stable income, high by Nigerian standards, and at least have travelled to some extent to other locations for business or pleasure. The cost of a return air ticket to US for one person can be as high as N400k on some airlines, especially during summer. If you don't even earn that much in a month . . . well, I struggle to understand how you will be able to prove to the CO that you can pay for your trip.

True talk my brother. Now i dig u.

Hi All,

Please advise am planning on visiting the United States with my family (myself, wife and child). Do i have to fill in a different Application for my wife or just include her and my child in my own application. And does this mean we will pay double or tripple application fee?

Regards

You have to fill out the DS-160 for everyone who is applying.
And you need to pay the application fee for each of you.

I am not so convinced about the family tie people stress regarding visa. I have once gotten the US student visa and now a visiting visa after graduation and was never asked anything about family ties.
