Lagos

Obamagbagbeeni:


Good day all,
Please people that were called for a follow up interview after IW, when you tracked did your visa status read refused or come for follow-up interview?

My visa status reads refused. I have renewed so many times without issues so I’m wondering why this was refused. All events have stayed the same with me except that I didn’t use my last visa at all.. I got it 2019 and planned going 2020 but Covid happened …
Can I be refused for not using the visa?

Thank you for your anticipated response.

UPDATE:
I picked up my passport on Friday 29th April and was asked to come in for an interview on any Thursday. I went for the interview last Thursday and my visa was approved.
Conversation below:

VO: why do you want to go to the States?
Me: Family vacation…it’s been a long while..and my kids are badgering us
VO: I see you spent a lot on deliveries. Would you be using this visa for medicals?
Me: Yes I did but I am done with that aspect.
VO: laughed…it is okay if you want to
Me: cuts in…no, I am done.
VO: okay but just pay your bills and take no discounts
Me: I never did but I am done.
VO: still smiling..where are you visiting
Me: mentioned the places and finished with, we will just see as it goes
VO: how long are you going for?
Me: 5-6 weeks if work permits me
VO: Congratulations, your visa has been approved et al. Tell your kids they can pack their bags now…laughs
Me: smiling, thank you.
Visa picked up!

So truly I don’t think it matters if previous visa wasn’t used at all. Also, I filled that I was travelling with my whole family plus hubby o, and 2 nannies. I was told not to fill that, as it might jeopardise my visa. When it was refused, everyone said we told you but I was at peace that I filled the truth though pissed off at the embassy as I felt they were the ones encouraging lies. Not a single question on why I’m travelling with whole family was asked! In all, God came true as always…

Thank you all for your assistance…Good luck to all genuine applicants.

Good morning, Please when and where did you submit your application and documents?

Good evening. I submitted in Lagos on the 21st April.

Update:

I got my passport back and I’ve been asked to come in on any Thursday with my Int’l passport and make sure my bio data is correct.

I pray all goes well… I’ll update the house when I go.

Thank you all for your responses

My mum was invited for medical attention in the US because we did a scan and discovered she has a brain mass. She was booked for interview on 19th April to be accompanied by my brother who is single but doing a good job. We had all medical papers from a US neurologist and our Nigeria sealed medical letter and all her lab examinations including MRI. Unfortunately she was denied Visa and we are still shocked to what could be the problem. We want to book for another emergency interview date but please we want to get it right this time. My brother said the lady that interviewed them said the US Doctor should state the cost of the treatment. Should we go with statement of account as my sister over there promise to take charge of the treatment and she put it in her invitation letter sent but still they denied us visa.

What else should we do or provide and do you think the denial was because of my brother who is single and have not travelled before.

May God heal your mum.

The VO has told you exactly what to do. Get the doctor to send you an estimation of treatment cost and go with your proof of fund that shows you can pay. A substantial deposit might also be of help.

Not using your visa may not be reason for refusal. I did not use at all my last two visas and just got issued last week

Thank you for your response. I’ll await my passport and see the reason for rejection.

You can track it to know if it was issued. You will get a mail telling you to go pick. Since you are picking up from Lagos, give a few days and go check.
