prince_onx: The VO,
Do UK citizens/passport holders also need a visa to US? I thought they're only required to when staying over 6 months?

docbunmi: Thank you for your response. Please what actually makes her not to qualify? Her 2 children have lived all their lives in the UK and they also school there. She is a UK citizen, has a very good job, healthy bank account and own a home in the UK and a piece of land in Nigeria. Also, her parents and siblings are in Nigeria,doesn't that qualify as strong ties? She overstayed then because her daughter was unable to travel on health grounds. Also i am curious as to why the CO didn't bother perusing her documents? Anyway, If despite all these, you still believe she isn't qualified at this point in her life, when do you think she would be qualified for a visiting visa or what does she need to do or put in place to demonstrate ties because its quite embarrassing to keep being refused a visa, not to mention the cost implications (visa fees, traveling to London, missing work). In fact this last time, she had already bought all their tickets and her kids had to come alone for the vacation at considerable additional expense.

VisaOfficer:

Well, even though she is not permanently ineligible for a B1/B2 visa, it sounds to me that she simply doesn't qualify for one. She has stronger ties to the U.S. than to her home country or to the UK (two U.S. citizen children!), has a previous overstay that shows she did not respect the terms of a visa, and will find it very difficult to convince an interviewing officer that she is not an intending immigrant. I know I would be unlikely to issue under these circumstances. There's a difference between being banned and simply being unable to qualify by overcoming the presumption that she is an intending immigrant; in this case, it sounds to me that she isn't qualified at this point in her life.

VisaOfficer:

Here's what the USCIS website says:

Alien Registration Number (“A” Number) or Alien Number
A unique seven-, eight- or nine-digit number assigned to a noncitizen at the time his or her A-file is created. The 9-digit U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services number listed on the front of Permanent Resident Cards (Form I-551) issued after May 10, 2010, is the same as the Alien Registration Number. The A-number can also be found on the back of these Permanent Resident Cards.

So, yes, it's your USCIS #. Thanks for asking -- you made me learn something new!
