Thanks everyone. Points well noted.

Well, we don't know much and that's why I'm asking. As for Dangote levels, hmmmmm. That's the one I don't know either. She has an agent but I thought it would be nice to also pick the minds here. On your use of "honest" I have heard its always good to be honest and get denied than lie and get caught anyway..... Asking was just to help us get other views and advise for her. Thanks any way

Thanks LadyG for your response. She actually had a failed asylum case. To the best of our knowledge she did not mention any criminal activity but said her asylum application failed and that's why she was deported.

Can anyone also confirm which is better: can she stay in the apartment rented for her daughter or does she needs to book a separate hotel accommodation?

Sorry everyone. I'm new here and yet to get the hang of how to post. Please forgive my ignorance.

But I do need to ask a question:

My elder sister was deported from Canada in 2009. Denied a USA visa the same year or thereabout. She has a daughter now studying in the USA and wants to visit. Her divorce from her Nigerian Canadian husband is final.

Is she banned from the US as a result of her deportation? Can she present her divorce certificate. (her daughter is a Nigerian citizen and her ex Canadian husband isn't the father). She insists on putting all the truthful info in her application but I'm just scared it will work against her once they see she was deported. Please anyone with an advise? Thanks.
