Hi Kigari. This is a wonderful thread and we re learning a lot. How much is tickets to Los Angeles for a group of 8. 4 adults and 4 children. We re looking at the first weekend in December. And would flying to New York be cheaper for us before connecting LA. Please help us look at the cheapest alternative routes. Thanks.

Goodday all. I want to sincerely thank the gurus in the house for all contributions made so far. I followed the advice given and today went well. Window 6-a middle aged woman- 27/8/18, 9.45am
VO: Good morning
Hubby : Good morning.
VO: Can I have your passports pls
Hubby :He passed them to her.
Vo : Where are you going to in the US
Hubby :we re going to Anaheim in Los Angeles
Vo : Why LA in particular
Hubby : because we did our research and found out its a tourist destination and lots of fun places for family vacation.
Vo:So what do you do?
Hubby : I work with Xyz as bla bla, am responsible for bla, bla, bla
VO : Have you travelled outside Nigeria before
Hubby :Yes (7) times alone and (2) times with my family to UK
Vo: When was the last time you travelled to the UK
Hubby :May
Vo : Why did you travel without your family
Hubby :because I went for a conference
Vo: How long was this conference
Hubby :For a week
VO:Madam what do you do
Me:I work as an accountant in Xyz.I handle Xyz duties.
Vo: How long have you been working there.
Me: 7yrs
Vo: are you chartered
Me: No not yet
Vo: Are these your only children
Hubby N me: Yes
Vo: Am approving your visa because you qualify and pulls out a white paper and circles where we re to pick and even joked that Isolo is her town
Hubby : Thank you and left.

I must also state that I filled the Ds160 forms myself. I didn't use any agent. I honestly filled the truth to the best of my ability.
Meanwhile there was a lot of blue paper flying around and at a point I was so scared and nervous.
Then my son while being interviewed started crying mummy am hungry, mummy am hungry, my tummy arches. Infact I thank God for his favour because this is our second time. The first time I had not discovered this forum and we used an agent.

Thanks guys I learnt a lot.

. The girl bad sha, she did not even ask for any documents from me...didn't even 5mins with us...I was pissed I had to just drive back to delta from the embassy today... We arrived Lagos since Sunday and lodged in a hotel at muri okunola str so we can be at the embassy early..wasted 50k on hotel and dis woman just melted my spirit o..I still de vex now sef
Sorry bro that was how my hubby was so angry when we were denied last year and he said he is not going to that embassy again....
I think somehow they missed it cause I know people who have no intention of coming back being granted visa and genuine people are being turned back..

Sorry about the denial I will suggest you try another country since you have plan to travel for vacation in the first place... this will also help your next U.S application.

@seyewest.My family was denied last year and we just went to London at the same time we were ment to be in the US. I hope this helps our next application??

Good evening all. Just started following this travel section late last year. We were at the embassy in Jan 2017 as a family and we were denied. Here goes our transcript :
Vo: Goodmorning
Hubby: Goodmorning
Vo: passport pls
Hubby gives him all four passport
Vo noticed my hubby just renewed his 2yrs UK visa and he took his passport and went to check something out.
Vo: directed his question at me have you travelled outside the country before?
Me:yes pls
Vo: When?
Me: 2014
Vo: Where
Me:UK
Vo took our passport and confirmed the previous travel visa.
Vo: What are you going to do in the US?
Hubby: we re going get on vacation
VO: Where?
Hubby:Houston
Vo: Any family in Houston?
Hubby:No
Vo: What would you do there
Hubby : we would visit bla bla bla
Vo: what do you do
Hubby: I work with bla bla
Vo: as what
Hubby:Sales manager
Vo: typing as he was asking and drinks from a water bottle while just staring at us
Vo:How much do you earn
Hubby: bla bla I also earn commission and quarterly pay amounting to bla bla
Vo: So ma'am what do you do
Me: I work with bla bla bla as bla
Vo: How much do you earn
Me: I told him
Vo: How much do you plan for this trip?
Hubby: without think said 3.5M
Vo: How much do you have in your bank account now
Hubby : 1.8 as at today but I have my quarterly payment for 2 quarters which will come in this week and will raise my Bal to 4.2.
Vo drank again and asked me ma'am can you confirm for me how much your husband has for this trip(I just sensed something wasn't right) I confirm same amount.
Vo :So how is business right now?
Hubby :said business was fine bla bla bla
Vo: looked at the four of us and said am sorry but you do not qualify for a visa today and hands over the blue paper. Hubby was stunned
We had promised our kids we would take them to the US in April 2017 during the Easter period and my kids didn't understand we were not given visa, they just want a vacation. So I applied for UK visa along with my kids since my hubby had already and we went to the UK for our Easter vacation.
Now we're ready to visit again this time in summer. I want to change our destination to Disney land florida, would this raise any question on why the change of destination and is our ties strong enough to get the visa because we re still going as a family.
