[[b]/b]Hello house, I would like to attend a conference on my field of work(Accounting) around December this year.
I worked in an automotive company as an account officer with monthly salary of #120K, please how can I go about it.
These are the documents that I have with me know:
Appointment Letter and Confirmation Letter
Staff I'd card,
Direct Assessment Card,
Pension Statement
Statement close to 1M
NOTE:
I have not travel out of Nigeria before and am single too

@ ulst they're well trained to see/hear changes in ur body language and answers. So from the beginning, when you were denied in Serbia were there any discrepancies in ur application then? Any white lies that seemed small but are important? How long ago was that denial?
It does look odd to import goods from the UK and never been there. So that drew his attention as well as the previous US visa denial.
For your wife's trips, how many were real and how many were not? They can't verify other countries' visas but I bet they recognize false claims or stamps.
The statement by your wife that she lost her passport while on "transit" through Ghana is not clear. If she was visiting Ghana and lost her pp then she should have said so. In transit suggests travelling from 1 country to another and then you make a brief stop in a 3rd country. Eg travelling to the U.S. on Alitalia and then you transit through Rome for a few hours.
I'm sorry you were denied but your answers were not the best responses you could have given. A PGD is defintely higher than a BSc, unfortunately you said that wrong. You had too many unsatisfactory answers.
My advice, give it 4-6mths before reapplying, be sure about the information you put on your application and give the same answers you've provided when asked. Try and make a couple's vacation to Europe first and then give it another shot.
You may not be barred from the U.S but pls clarify what is truth and what is not. All the best.

@ full house! i really need ur candid advice here. just wise at all.

whats the best way to go for a married man with kids seeking usa visa. isit going to the usa alone or going with the wife will booast the chances of securing tourist visa to usa becasue i learnt that they do normally queried why u are not going on vacation with your wife. and when u replied with excuse. they dont normally take it. please advice

DONT worry u were not barred ok...always think positive....if u were barred u would have been told so...a lot of people glie all the time and they know it that doesn't mean they are banned.dont worry u r safe and try not to lie again

Man you guys are funny! Those lies were very unnecessary

[size=14pt]You do not need to wast space by "quoting" the whole of long posts just to make a silly comment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/size]

thanks dream23, i am capable of sponsoring her as well. just that i thought that its preferable for one to embark on a vacation with wife even with the absent of the kids. than one travelling alone without the kids or wife. from my observation here. most of the people that were asked why aRe they not going with their wife all responded yet they were not issued visa. i need more contribution on these. i appreciate it

@ maxiserve they may ask your relationship with the man, if you say your sister's husband, then you may be asked "what is your sister's status, why isn't she the one inviting yo"u, what do you say? If she overstayed a tourist visa, they may assume you want to do the same and deny you.
I'd advice you to find another friend/relative to be your host, that way you don't get boxed into a corner.
Housee, ideas please?

Dear Nairalanders,My name is Tunde,I have 2 different Country passports [Nigeria and Ghana passports] with 2 different surnames [The Nigeria Passport bear my Mom's surname and the Ghana passport bears my Dad's surname] because My Mom is from Nigeria,while my Dad is from Ghana.i tried applying for a seminar Visa at U.S.A Embassy in june with the Nigeria Passport but i was denied and now my Dad wants me to go and do undergraduate studies in U.S.A with my Ghana passport because all my credentials and certificate are in my Ghana name,I want to know if it is Legal or illegal before i apply.And pls how do i go about it...Pls i need your advice.

Housee, ideas please?

@blawi1, what if he doesn't mention his sister at all? So she's out of the picture? Assuming she has overstayed her visa, I'm assuming that is usually the case....

His brother in-law can invite him...and he could say he doesn't have any other relative.. If they ask about his sister, he can say she visited and has left, or what do you think?

listen attentively,Thanks to the almighty God above and his mercies he always shows me I have never been denied a visa...I know what am talking about.i went single yet I was issued.its all about honesty and faith.like I said earlier,maybe your wife is doing business and cant go,or u just need a simple guys alone time its very normal.dont compare yourself to people who were denied because they went alone...do u know what they said or lied about?wife or no wife just go it doesn't make a difference

vozkini: thanks dream23, i am capable of sponsoring her as well. just that i thought that its preferable for one to embark on a vacation with wife even with the absent of the kids. than one travelling alone without the kids or wife. from my observation here. most of the people that were asked why aRe they not going with their wife all responded yet they were not issued visa. i need more contribution on these. i appreciate it

to be honest with you,virgin passports are normally a negative but don't shiver yet....ur act bal is good and u have a good job but like I always say its all confidence and courage and most importantly Favour from God.

hmmm....u were finger printed and you are going to use another passport...to some extent its not illegal but u will be asked a lot of questions and u could be barred...just go with the same passport u applied for the seminar with cos I think that's safe.

@ igbankebabe
@blawi1
@dream23............... Thanks for your responds. My in-law is a citizen buh the wife which is my sister just moved to the usa 2 years ago ( legal immigrant) and i know it will take like 5 years before she can send invitation to anyone.

Am thinking of going to Ghana and Tanzania next month before the interview hope the CO wount see it as just to disvirgin my passport.

I still need your advice guys.......................

@ maxiserve now that you've explained her status it's clearer now. A legal immigrant can invite anyone to come visit. So pls state u have a relative who is your sister and she emigrated to join her husband who is a citizen. It will be straight forward. We thought there was something to hide about her legal status.

you didn't go wrong anywhere.....its just that u had little travel experience and your friend is sponsoring you....am sorry but with dat your chances were really slim...try and sponsor yourself next time goodluck

I think is your salary and not sponsor yourself and lastly you married last year and you want to travel this year and leave your twins.

@influential your monthly income does not pay for you and your wife's visa application fee, not to talk of paying for your airfare, you have a friend (who has no real commitment to to you) sponsoring you for a conference. Sounds too much like an effort to do your best to get a visa and not return.

am not traveling wth my wife.
A great thanks to u all, since two years ago am planing to raise money for an agent to secure the states visa for me. wen i discover this forum i learn alot and not to gve agent money for visa.
In what i learn in this forum i use it to asist to of my friends that works in good company to get visa wth their handy original document and they got visa. I jst wsh to ve experience that y i try it, am sure i ll be gving by my nxt appointment.
we only spend 30k each on visa appointment me and my friends.

@cori corde: Immigration doesn't stamp passport if u are traveling out of U.S & UK. They only stamp your passport if u are coming in to there country.

Why not try UK, since you've not gone anywhere before?
Since the UK is just documentation, the visa is relatively easier to get.

@AjanleKoko thank you............. am looking at the time frame, cus i want to visit by December.

Good day my fellow naira Landers,
Have been in this forum quite long and I have been reading this thread for some time now. Can someone share light into this issue. A friend of mine wants to travel down to the united state with his family, he is a graduate and he has a very good job. His fiances got pregnant for him and the lady delivered safely. He wants to visit the state with both his daughter and his fiances, although they are not yet married legally, they are planning for their wedding, and the lady is a nurse (registered nurse). She is working in luth. The question is that: what kind of application can he made for the visa. What documents did he need to submit for a successful visa application? What and what can he use in convincing the visa officer in other for them to be granted a visa? Please a step by step guide answer to this question is most welcome. Please
