Unfortunately greed and self-centredness is the order of the day. If not a set of people will not monopolise and fence others out of the Telegram group.

@Kween2014 got her visa via the IW route even though she gave birth in the US. We have other sisters here that have been temporarily refused but I believe they will clear them at the interview (should they provide requisite information and explanation).

You know your circumstances better than anyone else. Decide for yourself…but with the frequent cancellation and rescheduling of physical interview dates, IW is an opportunity if you get a date.

Good luck

Thank you @Dampops

Please I need advice, my mum and I will be going for US visa interview next month, my mum has however been issued visa before and it expired last year, I want to follow her now because my sister needs me to take care of her kids and also help take my mum for follow up appointment on the surgery she did.
The main problem is this, as at last year when we filled the form Ds 160, we wrote that we will spend 6 months cos my sister will be going for Military training but since we couldn't get an earlier date, she couldn't go.
Now going for the interview, I don't intend to spend more than 2months cos I have business and a daughter to take care of.
I hope if I say I'm staying 2months, it won't contradict what I earlier stated in the forms.
Please a response will really guide me on the right thing to do
Thanks

Dampops:
Fill another DS 160 form, include these new details. You can then update the new DS160 confirmation number on the interview appointment portal…

How can you say you will spend the whole six months there.?You are prepping yourself there.They frown at people even spending months because they see that as you trying to live in the US and not a genuine visitor. Always try and write as minimum time as possible you can spend there

OnizeB:
I said I was going to spend 6months cos the training my sister was going for was for 6months, n I will have to stay with her kids till she comes back

Dampops:
If I’m a visa officer, your reason for the trip is a red flag. Are you out of work in Nigeria that you are willing to sacrifice 6 months for your sister? Will your sister pay you for your service? Will you work in the US during your trip?

You’re applying for a tourist visa and you want to go and do unpaid nanny job for 6 months??

I was at the consulate last week Tuesday and I saw how they were drilling people during the interview sessions…rethink your purpose of traveling

OnizeB:
Like I said, that was the time I stated as at last year, n it want to change it now cos I don't even have an intention of staying that long anymore. What should I do now, been trying to fill a new form but it has not been going thru.

EuniqueBabe:
Dont worry, just keep trying and preferably around 1am when the site doesn't have much traffic. Fill the form and replace the DS160 number in the appointment portal. 2 months sef for a visit is too much in my opinion. For the purpose of this visit, say something like 3 weeks or a month max, afterall your sister has already gone for her training. What do you need 2 months for when you have a business and child to take care of.

EuniqueBabe:
Just for new guys planning to apply for a Visa for the first time. Especially if the purpose is tourism, try to go to even Ghana, Dubai, kenya even Togo sef will stamp your passport at the land border. It is difficult to convince me that you are a tourist yet you have never left Nigeria before and the first place you want to tour is the US. There should be a build up.

Travelling on a budget is my speciality. There are cheap ways to build travel history.

I also believe nothing is impossible with God sha but it's always better to plan well.

Please be extremely wary of the bolded countries. It backfires at the embassy. They are aware Nigerians do this simply for travel history and not genuine tourist purpose.
I got my first US visa as a first time applicant, with no extensive tour of other countries.

Oggg:
pls dnt go to the embassy with the form that states you intend spending 6 months. I can assure you it will not end well. You are not a nanny to come and stay with your sister’s kids for 6 months, it is not a reason to be given visa. Pls visiting family that you have missed is an enough reason to travel, not necessary to say you are coming to the US for 6 months to stay with her children for 6mnths. What of ur own circumstances in Nigeria?- that is what will be important to the visa officer, not necessarily whether ur mom has previous us travl hx or ur sister’s military training

Good day everyone, please I need your advice. I have USA immigrant visa. Is it possible to go to another state in the US that is different from the address and state I used in my application and during my visa interview without negative effect at the port of entry in the US?
I intend to move from Nigeria to the US.
