Travel / Re: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening Pt 2 by holalekan: 6:59pm On Jul 28, 2018 |
Dear AbujaNIV, I'd applied to renew my last B1/B2 visa which expired under 12months ago.I'd travelled on the expired visa for a conference back then in Miami&I didn't overstay,neither was I in breach of any immigration regulations.I thought I'd take advantage of the courtesy by U.S INA and renew via the Dropbox,however after about 15 working days since submission I received an email inviting me for a follow up interview&stating a denial under section 221g with an attachment form with instructions on what steps to take.On the attached form were boxes listing certain requirements of which the only requirement that was ticked is the request to attend an interview.Also bearing in mind that the tracker still shows Administrative Processing online,and the conference I intend to attend will hold between 28th&30th of August. Here goes my questions 1.How do I know what documents to attend the interview with as I'm unsure of what information must be provided?Employment contract,bank statements etc?If these documents are rarely examined and it's not been specified which to come with,what then do I go with? 2.Should I decide to schedule an appointment to still be able to attend the conference at the end of August,may I request for an expedited interview(which was what I got for my first visa)? 3.If my request for expedited interview isn't approved,may I still attend the interview to apply for a visa to visit the U.S for leisure other than the initial conference purpose which would have already taken place by that time? 4.Am I required to pay another application fee?As I tried to do so it didn't accept the receipt number. 5.Do I need a new DS160 form or all I need is just schedule and attend interview? 6.Is there any other thing that applies to this situation that may be helpful to know about?since I can't even understand why it wasn't even approved in the first place. NB:If this appears on another forum,I'm only trying to get the appropriate thread to get prompt answers to my questions as I've been searching all day and can't find the exact one. Thanks in anticipation of some good feedback. |

Hi Like the VO always emphasize,the visa isn't a game of chance,there are requirements you may have to meet to qualify.Based on my experience,you'll have to honestly demonstrate how you're able to finance your trip since you currently do not have a job.Also whoever is sponsoring the trip must demonstrate how it makes sense to send you on a short visit in an expensive country so.Furthermore what are your ties here in Nigeria that will ensure that you come back to Nigeria after your short visit in the U.S.Just be honest and open and be ready to defend whatever is in your application Nelson2k: |

This is just a quick note to appreciate everyone who's taken their time to share their experiences during their visa application(whether the outcome was good or bad). I learnt so much from this forum on the several occasions that I've had to apply for either the UK or US Visa.I'm here to pour back into the wells of knowledge i drew from before my applications were submitted. 26 Likes 1 Share |

Vicjustice: Noo!If the child isn't involved I can as well stay back in my country and get a decent job,but why would i walk away when i can take responsibility and be there to raise my child?Well if the mother is happy to relocate i'm more than willing to stay here and be there for them both.Myself and the mother are in touch and I've indicated I want to be involved in the upbringing of the child financially and morally!And I do understand my rights as a parent in future I just clarifications. |

Hi justwise and everyone,please I’ve got a serious problem bothering me which I’d appreciate any effort to clarify.Last year towards the end of my master’s programme in the UK I had an affair with a UK citizen which resulted in a pregnancy.Although we weren’t both dating we couldn’t justify any reason to abort.I returned to Nigeria early this year and me and the lady have been in touch since then.She claims she loves me and would like to marry me but not sure she’s willing to come to Nigeria to live or anything. She’s due to deliver in May. I really would like to be with my child and herself from birth however the policies seem complicated these days.right now I’m confused as to what to do or apply as to be with them both as I’ve got lot of things to prove even if I’m just applying as a visitor.I would really like to be around during the birth of my child in May, does anyone know what the best thing to do in this case is. Thanks |

Hi Justwise and other nairalanders, I was refused entry in july based on maintenance funds being in my dad's account just for 6 days instead of the 28 days,i wasnt a fan of nairaland then maybe i'd have known before submitting. I had a delay in reapplying due to personal problems and i had to open a personal account with the required amount as stated in my refusal letter,i waited till the 28th day which was 9th september before applying,d school resumed on the 12thsept and d initial last day of registration is 30th sept,i'd requested for extension which just came today 14th sept and was given till 14th oct,this came after i'd submitted my visa application on the 9th. I was just wondering if there's much to worry about again although i've handed my situation over to God. I submitted in Abuja and there are rumours that applications in abuja will now be forwarded to Lag for visa issuing,how true is that? |
Travel / Re: Uk Student Visa by holalekan: 3:47pm On Sep 10, 2011 |
Please I was wondering how long UK student visa takes lately(september submission),I was refused initially based on the fact that my maintenance funds hadn't been in the bank for 28days,so I had to open a personal account where i kept the money for 28days before applying.Now the school's last day of submission is 30th september and i applied on the 9th of september,wondering if this isn't too late? |
