Techyking: The challenge with scripted Q&As is when a question outside the script is asked (which is guaranteed), it throws the applicants off balance and the interview timeframe is so short, there is no time to recover and continue properly. VOs are said to study body languages, confidence level and voice frequency/patterns. Rehearsing Q&As is good, but comes with a pitfall. WRT your Q&A, I think its good and should serve its purpose. Your dads surgery is also a good reason for your mom to return to Nigeria, but if the VO doesn't ask why she's applying alone, then that information is lost in translation. That info should be included compulsorily with the answer you have for How long do you intend to stay in the US question, which is a guaranteed question to be asked by the VO 2 Likes |

Techyking: Just pray that she meets a kindhearted VO. Just like someone stated earlier, don't bother about rehearsal. She should just be straightforward. I wish her a victorious outcome. |

kriscamdi: Yes, that's what it is now. Seems you didn't know that interview dates are so far ahead. Keep checking, you might get 2024. You can check twice daily. Meanwhile be wary of people " selling" dates. This is something you can do yourself. 2 Likes |

Debbieeeeeee: Exactly. Nobody will tell them this truth. Even with money they just cannot settle with tourist visa. E go choke badly. The worst is facing deportation. |

flourishing247: Yea, I don’t intend buying dates, because I believe I can search for myself. But also if there is any WhatsApp group or so where updates are given in real time. Sometimes these dates flashes and one can see . |

Good morning all, Please if someone did drop box and was given a 221g to attend an interview and the visa was issued . When applying in another embassy , is she to declare that as a refusal ? |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Debbieeeeeee: 10:49am On Aug 30, 2023 |
puffmama:No, it’s not a refusal. 221g is a pending status that either ends up in an issuance or a refusal and it ended up in an issuance so it’s not a refusal. |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Debbieeeeeee: 10:50am On Aug 30, 2023 |
Mancala:I agree with this, how you achieved your immigration status may contribute to the future issuance of visa to your family members tied to your application, although some people get lucky. Someone who overstayed her visa and used to apply with her family has a group got them all denied due to her immigration status and they’ve been visiting the USA for a long time prior to the overstay but the moment they returned to renew they all got refused on three attempts. Although they got lucky with their first one after she left and luckily renewed that one but after then they’ve tried thrice and all gotten refused. 1 Like |

flourishing247:Really really how much do they want to carry with this shitty exchange rate that’ll be sufficient. With the many immigration pathways to Canada right now, it makes no sense to go and suffer in the usa without papers or facing removal order, running from pillar to post. To make matters worse many of them go with like 2-4 kids. 1 Like |

Debbieeeeeee: Visa overstay is mainly after 6 months in US visa but in recent years staying over 3 months is a red flag. Many renewals were denied because of long stay but not up to 6 months. I always advise visitors who plan to renew to always keep to the number of days presented at the immigration desk of any US airport. |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Debbieeeeeee: 11:33am On Aug 30, 2023 |
Jbab:You don’t seem to get my post. The overstay in discussion is going and not returning not staying for 3 months and above. Yes, staying long may be an issue but staying behind and not returning with the intent of relocating is the main issue. By the way, although 180 days the standard to be stamped in for, some get stamped in for lesser, so staying beyond the date you’re allowed in the usa is the issue. |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Jbab: 11:36am On Aug 30, 2023 |
Techyking: My primary concern is how you get your GC in the US,did you travel through the visitor's route or the legal migration process in Nigeria? Many applicants in similar situations have their family members visa denied because their hosts got their GC through the visitor's visa while in the US. Be sure to let her know how you migrated to the US. |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Jbab: 11:55am On Aug 30, 2023 |
Debbieeeeeee: You are not far from the truth but also you can be stamped in 6 months or less stay and you spent 45 days instead of the 15 days you gave the custom and border officer and your renewal get denied.many of such cases are coming up in recent times. |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Debbieeeeeee: 12:11pm On Aug 30, 2023 |
Jbab: When I wanted to renew my visa in 2019, I did dropbox in 2018 dec and got called for interview and attended this. A woman who was in front of my was called up to the window and was asked about her previous travels she answered and then she was asked how long will you stay this time she said two weeks then the officer said the last time you spent 3 months but you said two weeks and that was the end of the interview, it ended in a refusal for her and she had visited a lot of times prior to then from her responses. Long and short it yes, staying long can impact your future renewals and also saying I’ll stay two weeks and going ahead to stay wayyy longer can also impact your visa although some people get lucky but for how long ? |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Jbab: 3:48pm On Aug 30, 2023 |
Debbieeeeeee: That's my point, stay for two weeks if you tell them you are staying for two weeks or a month if you tell the border officer you are staying much longer. Don't change your holiday date if you plan to renew your visa. Many visitors to the US got their visa renewal denied in recent years due to this simple reason ,unlike pre-2018 when 5 months stay in the US is never an offence once you want to renew. |

I got my GC legally. I came as a student and a company sponsored me for a green card after I graduated. My wife just graduated and is currently on OPT. We haven't broken any immigration rules so far Jbab: 2 Likes |

Good afternoon sir/ma I want to apply for USA tourist visa, how can I go about it How much will it cost me , if I want to do it without agent involving in it |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by fkj950ax(m): 6:19pm On Aug 30, 2023 |
janda1: Consider not using agents. It’s something you can do yourself. It’s free and you only pay your visa fees $185 Step 1 Fill DS-160 form https://ceac.state.gov/GenNIV/Default.aspx Step 2 Pay visa fees (GTB online or walk into branch) Step 3 Create an account here, www.ustraveldocs.com and use DS160 Confirmation Number and Visa Fees number to fill out profile. Then also book appointment here. You will only see option of checking dates after Step 1 and 2 are completed. There are no available dates. You’d have to be checking regularly. You will get something in 2024. Please take your time to fill the DS160. Don’t rush. Use 3 days or more. Anything you aren’t clear about, ask. 6 Likes 1 Share |

janda1: Just post here. I am not on WhatsApp and I live outside NG. If you can, read as much as you can in this thread. To get a visit visa approved requires convincing a VO you’d return after the visit and you can financially afford the trip. You will return because you have a lot going on in Nigeria that is super important you don’t have to remain in the US despite the better opportunities. Good job. Family. Home. Business etc etc here are thriving You are financially able because you earn enough and have a good savings to pay for the trip (visa fees, flight ticket, hotels, feeding, vex money, spend money, shopping money) without getting stranded. You have a plan for the visit (what are you doing for the period while in the US). What are your plans for the vacation - places you are going to... etc 2 Likes |

Good morning house, Please I need advice I’d like to know the procedure for extension of visa. My visa expires in 3 weeks and I’d like to return in December as my sister just had a baby and would require help with the baby. I applied for drop box prior to my arrival but was told I didn’t qualify for drop box as my visa was still valid for more than 3 months. Please any advice and recommendations would be appreciated |
