Exactly my thoughts

OmoBendel24:


True, but not hard and fast. Just like Central London hotels works better for a UK tourist visit. But then, I have seen someone using an hotel at The Bronx to get a visa that most of his planned places to see were around Manhattan, meanwhile Brooklyn (which of course is a stone throw from major attractions) is closer to those attractions than The Bronx. So?

I got Kenya visa (single entry sticker) okay, I will travel else where in a timely manner as business comes first

OmoBendel24:


On your passport? VISA or ENTRY AND EXIT stamps?

Well, heed Seyewest's advise. See other more weighty countries, especially with you family, use the opportunity to solidify evidence of FAMILY and travel history too.

That's a good idea. Thanks

seyewest:

If that's the case... Since you've made travel plans why not change it and visit Europe with your family because with your profile and ties you should be able to get a schengen visa and enjoy your holiday and probably reapply for U.S visa early next year.

I got Kenya visa on arrival and that's on my previous passport which i also presented today and the VO confirmed it. I think I'm just not lucky cos the visa thing seems like a gamble...anybody wins

OmoBendel24:


Was in Kenya two years ago though, just wondering if they stick visas on passport sha, mine was obtained online (I flew Kenya Airways) and printed out.

I however seem not to be seeing anything wrong with the transcript aside maybe travel history , maybe the issue is out of this transcript. Or he probably has doubts about your marriage or something, dunno....

I also went with used flight ticket papers...let me get your point clearly sir

seyewest:

Tanzania is bad luck and unfortunately for him having the visa does not mean he has been to those places and it's hard to confirm the authenticity of the visa through photocopy... To be honest the way I see it is that they believe you manufacture your travel history by claiming lost passport.
