Good morning, I am glad to be here to share ideas with intending visitors to Australia especially family stream visa sub section 600. My brother recently applied for Visiting visa to Australia and i want to share the V.O's reasons for denial so we can get another ideas from this platform.
The Decision goes thus :

I have assessed the application and the reasons for my decision are detailed below;

In assessing whether or not the applicant genuinely intends to stay temporarily in Australia, i have taken into account information provided in the application, the applicants immigration history and compliance with previous visas. I have also taken into consideration any supporting documents as well as the applicants personal circumstances, commitments and incentive to return to their country of residence. My decision is based on the following factors.
The applicant has not indicated the presence of any close family members or dependent family members in their home country or usual country of residence. While this does not necessarily indicate the applicant will not comply with any conditions if they were to be granted a subclass 600 visa, applicants maintaining ties to their home country or usual country of residence may indicate evidence of an applicant genuine intention to return home or usual country of residence. Noting the presence of applicants siblings in Australia and the absence of of evidence of any family ties of the applicant to their home country or usual country of residence, I have concerns this may induce the applicant to not return to their home country within the validity of the subclass 600 visa they may be granted. Accordingly, i am not satisfied the applicants sufficiently demonstrates they intend a genuine temporary stay in Australia. I have also taken into account the applicants economic circumstances relative to the economic circumstances in their home country and Australia. The applicant has stated in their application that they are self-employed. I find that incentive to return to work or to hold onto this employment is limited. I am therefore not satisfied the applicants economic circumstances would present an incentive for the applicant to return home country at the end of their proposed visit, given the comparatively greater economic opportunities which might encourage the applicant to remain in Australia.
After considering the information provided, i am not satisfied that the applicant genuinely intends to stay temporarily in Australia for the purpose set out above.

His brother in Australia was the person that handled this application and he only requested C.A.C documents and Leave approval, offer of employment letters for this. Meanwhile when he applied the first time last year by himself, he included both account statements, previous Schengen visa and children's Canadian passports with tax clearance but was refused on same basis of not being convinced about returning to Nigeria.

A more proper advise is required for a follow up . May God bless us all

No my wife lives in Nigeria with me and has never stayed in U.S more than 3 weeks each time she travels because she is also very busy here. I guess you think they are based in U.S ? Not at all, my kids are schooling in Nigeria and only visit U.S for few weeks and back to Nigeria. They recently visited Texas last October for two weeks and are back to our base in Nigeria. So i don't think there's anything like breach of Visa protocols at all and we have zero balance even after birthing of the kids till date.

I am the one that needs to avoid that Florida as you have just stated completely. May God bless you for this insight and guidance, i will be following up with any other ideas and information sharing. God bless you all

I handled the whole application process by myself and also booked the hotel myself but to be honest, i don't know that Florida city is different from Orlando Florida. I don't know if i can still continue but maintain only Orlando Florida during the next application or different city. But i think focusing at Orlando Florida for all my stay and activities will be better but any other ideas from gurus here will help me a lot.

B) I used Florida because my wife has been using it since 2014 and they have not rejected her visa. She just did a drop box last month and was given 5 years. The Florida City and Orlando Florida was my major mistake when i booked my hotel and i guessed they highlighted it when i submitted my application hence the reason why the V.O focused on that part. My wife also had my two kids in Texas around 2016 and 2018 respectively. I am not just lucky … Sad !

Hello everyone, i went to Us Embassy last Friday 22nd March 2024 for a visitor visa but i made the worst useless mistake even as a regular traveler. My interview goes thus :

V.O : Good morning ,
Me: Good morning sir,
V:O ; You are going to Florida
Me : Yes
V;O ; Why do you choose Florida ?
M;E ; Because of the Beaches and outdoor attractions which makes it one of the best to Visitors.
V;O ; Where are you staying in Florida, is it Orlando Florida or Florida City ?
M:E : I am staying in Florida City.
V:O : How could you stay in a hotel in Florida City and going for look outs in Orlando Florida ? From Florida city to Orlando is about 4 hours drive and very far from your hotel. How did you think of that ?
M;E ; Didn't say anything again because no need.
V.O: What do you do ?
M.E ; I own blabla bla and i deal on blablabla.
V.O : Sorry you are not qualified and the reasons can be found on this paper.
He handed me the paper and i left.

Immediately i came out, I used Google and it was true that Florida city is very far from Orlando Florida.
It is well, i will apply again next year

Just keep checking on a daily basis, you might be lucky someday

hello house, i have been searching for U.S visa appointment since February till date but to no avail. I was unlucky last February when i booked for my wife and was looking for my password to book mine. She did a drop box last march and was given another 2 years. Aside my children that are all citizens, i am the only person yet to get U.S visa and this is my first time of applying.
Please is there any other means of getting the appointment or i should keep trying ?
