Hello guys, please I have a question. My friend wants to apply for US visa. He’s been rejected Canada student visa. Do they share the same portal? He doesn’t want to declare the rejection since it was many years ago. |

OyoTunjiUSA:Thank you for this explanation, she was actually visiting her elder sister. So I hv just asked Mama to snap the slip she got again, please I hv attached it- i see that the 221g box wasn’t ticked. Can you pls explain this form if you hv an idea. Thank you

neni83: Hey 🤠 1. What i could read there is that Mama is not qualify for drop box and that she should apply for regular appointment (if i see it well because i use R specs ). 2. The other instructions is not too feasible to read for me. Best Wishes 🙏 |

neni83: I stayed 6 months and 17 days in 2020 during the covid lockdown, however before the ending of my 6 month stay stamped at the POE, i applied for extension of my stay. I left america immediately flights were made available for nigerians in July 2020. Did you mom apply for extension? If she did , then i guess she wont have issues during her interview. So overstaying during covid should not be an issue as long as you applied for extension because I have done dropbox after then and travelled to the US 3 times since the renewal. 2 Likes |

fkj950ax: Hi Guys Good morning Please still on this visiting visa stuff, I'm meant to know that it has a validity of 5 years with multiple entries of 6 months each. 1) So if I go for a 1 week conference and stay for maybe 5 months then return back to Nigeria. I hope I'm still safe and it's not a red flag for next time 2) Since it has multiple entries, 6 months each for a period of 5 years, does it mean next time I want to use the visa I don't need to go to the embassy for a visa approval again. I just need to book my flight and go? Please I need honest answers from people that know well about it |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Debbieeeeeee: 1:30pm On May 03 |
Awesome777:Prior to payment you can see these options. It’s at the last interface you get to enter receipt number |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Debbieeeeeee: 1:31pm On May 03 |
freshStarz:Major red flag. 5 months per stay of 180 days. Major red flag. Your five years is your 5 years no need to return to the embassy until your five years lapses except your visa is canceled or revoked God forbid. But don’t stay 5 months at stretch 2 Likes |

freshStarz: Hey 🤠 **Yes. If you have 5 years visa today and you travelled to the USA and stayed let's say 1 month and return back to Nigeria. You won't need to go back to the USA embassy again let's say next year 2025 if you want to attend a wedding in the USA. All you have to do is pick up your passport and buy flight ticket. The 5 years you got in 2024 will last you till 2029. 1. Focus on securing your B1/B2 visa first. When you are able to secure your visa , the United States embassy will issue 5-yrs tourist/visiting visa to you . 2. Effective from last year (2023), people holding business and tourist visas (B1/B2) can now apply for new jobs in the USA. Ipso facto, with your B1/B2 visa you can appear for job interviews for prospective employment . 3. However, the USA Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) stipulated that your employer (s) must change your B1/B2 visa status before you resume the job. 4. If you go for 1 week conference and after the conference you find a vacancy you can go and apply with your B1/B2 and if they gave you the job your employer will work out how to change your B1/B2 to a relevant work visa and there you go, you can then start your job without coming back to Nigeria. 5. Focus on securing your B1/B2 visa first and attend your conference. ** However, if you cannot find employment on time do not stay longer than 6 weeks if you enter the USA on business purpose. You can always return back to the USA as many time as you want within those 5 years . Best Wishes 🙏. 4 Likes |

freshStarz: 1. Six months is the maximum you can stay on a visit visa without being out of status on that visa. I'll write the rest in bold. CBP custom border patrol is the final determinant of ENTRY into the US. They have the right to interview, question you, and DEPORT you and even reduce that six months to one week. Lastly they can CANCEL the visa So if you enter US saying I'll stay 1 week and you stay 5 months and leave. When you return to the US, CBP will ask you about your previous stay. 2. You don't have to return to the embassy until 5yrs expires. But as I said in 1 - border patrol also have jurisdiction over visas issued from the consulate so be guided when you take you options. They don't stamp 6 months at the US airports.. however you can check it online.i94 3 Likes |

freshStarz: B Part Yes, for the next 5 years, you just book flight and go. A Part Can you be in the US for 5 months using your 5 yr multiple entries visa? Yes you can. But what are your plans for the 5 months? What will you be doing? How will you fund the 5 months stay. Food. Accommodation. Day to day expenses. You may cause your visa to be cancelled and not even allowed to complete a 2nd trip. 2 Likes |

Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by wuki: 6:36pm On May 03 |
I had applied for IW for my dad -- but instead he got his passport back with form 221g. No reason was indicated on the form itself. I booked his interview appointment which happened Wednesday. I had suspected he was summoned to appear in-person because he had stayed in the U.S for 22 weeks on his last visit. And sure enough, during the interview, he was asked to explain the extended stay. He was there for medicals and it took weeks to run diagnostics and tests -- not to mention, another couple of months to get an appointment for surgery. Of course he was asked to provide documents to support the claims: luckily he brought his medical receipt, showing payment (with zero balance) along with dated transcripts of his hospital visits. This is important. He was asked a few more questions: like purpose of trip this time, how long he intends to stay, etc. Visa was approved and the process lasted 10 minutes. Anyway, I haven't been on this forum in a couple of years but just wanted to share the experience in case it might help someone in a similar situation. I just wish they would make the 221g a bit clearer so the candidate can come prepared. I had only second-guessed and fortunately he brought the documents; otherwise, this could have gone either way. One other thing that stood out to me: he mentioned that the process has changed a bit from the last time he visited the embassy back in 2019. He said, they now scrutinize applicants and some are sent away without an interview during the pre-screening process prior to being allowed in. I thought that was wild considering the time and cost involved in applying only to be told one doesn't qualify for interview. 2 Likes |

freshStarz:If you want to leave NG finally, just do so at once. Living with your aunt for 5 months and to return to NG is just a lot of strain on her and a lot of money you want to spend - return ticket and other costs. I must let you know the US is an 'individualistic' society, people dont cater for others easily or freely. After a while your relationship with your aunt (her husband, kids) will become fraught. 5 months is a long time. She may be willing to do so for you for a month, or 2 months or even 3 months, pending when you start playing your part. I am not sure you'd get a whole room to yourself. You can't bunk in someone living room for 5 months or even share room for 5 months with your 'cousins' before stories that touch begins. Back to my question of what you want to do for the 5 months while in the US, waiting on your response. Also, if you are away for 5 months, what happens to the things you are currently doing in NG (work, business or school)? 3 Likes |
