1. Good day V.O, I would like to know if a G.C holder can send an invite to his/her mother who is almost 70 years of age.
2. If yes, what is the probablity of getting a B2 visa.
3. What documents are need for the invitation?

azeezbaba: @Abujaniv,

can i attend my F-1 visa interview with my spouse and child. If yes, won't that jeopardize my home ties? Won't the VO think I wont come back after my studies?

Thank you

Only those interviewing attend the interviews. Your spouse and child can wait for you outside. Good luck!

Ctemi: @Abujaniv, my international passport will expire next year September,can I till use it to apply for F1 come this Oct/Nov ds year?

Yes, you can.

INCORRECT DS-160 NUMBERS MAY LEAD TO A DELAY IN BEING PROCESSED''
Please what does this mean? Hope it wont affect my application.

Good day. Invitations are not required for non-immigrant tourist visas. You simply need to fill out the application for her, pay the fee, get the photos, and give her any documents you think might be helpful. The interviewer may or may not ask to see those documents.

Is it advice able for a student F-1 or M-1 visa applicants to re-apply after 90 days or more, does it also apply to that category?

@Abujaniv
I'm an F1 student in United State of America, and i will like to know if it is possible to renew my visa 6 months before the expiration date or i have to wait till the visa expired.

abujaniv:

Only those interviewing attend the interviews. Your spouse and child can wait for you outside. Good luck!

Am sorry you misunderstood my question. My Spouse and son are listed on my I-20 as dependants and I wish they attend the F1 interview with me as dependants seeking F2 Visa. So my question again, if I apply for F1 and F2 for them, won't it jeopardize my home ties as we will all be traveling together?

Thank you

Good morning Visa officer, I just want to ask about the earliest time I could apply for a visa. I was refused a b2 visa and was handed the blue paper yesterday.

It is allowable for them to apply for F2s as your dependents, and it will be up to you to explain your circumstances to the interviewer. Good luck.

AbusM: Good morning Visa officer, I just want to ask about the earliest time I could apply for a visa. I was refused a b2 visa and was handed the blue paper yesterday.

We state on our web site that applicants should wait at least 90 days before applying again if they have been refused a visa, as it is unusual for circumstances and ties to change significantly in less than three months.

It's alright then. .

Helloe Vo @Abujaniv. Is it possible to get granted a tourist visa without travel history? There are home ties and the person just needs to tour. Thanks

Dear AbujaNIV,
Please i sent you a message earlier this week but didnt get any response. Can you please attend to my question because i need to know what to do.

Thanks and Regards.


Good day Visa Officer,
What would you advise me to do, i discovered i was pregnant a month after i was given a US Visa. During the interview i was asked if i was pregnant and i honestly answered "NO" because as that time i had medical issues relating to fertility which says i couldn't get pregnant naturally so my answer was very honest. Initially i intended traveling with my husband on vacation but my leave was cancelled due to work related issues. Now, i have decided to have my babies in the US because the Pregnancy came as a miracle and would like proper medical attention since we can afford it. Do you think i should send a mail to the US Embassy informing them of my intention.

I really don't have an idea of what to do but would appreciate your opinion.

Thanks for all your help on this forum. God bless

Hi VO
My mum and 2 younger sisters won the DV lottery and left for US in April, they have also gotten their greencards and are all currently working. My elder sister also left in August for her master am left in Nigeria because of my job. Now I have missed them so much and would love to visit them this December. My mom just got a place of her own. The question is
1. Is it too early for my mom to invite me?
2. If not, how do I go about it? And what are the required documents that I need?

Hi Officer,

I found this forum online and saw that responses are quick I am not sure if it is particular to a country , but I have a question from a friend of mine. She is an Indian National on F1 visa right now. Her husband is travelling on B1. so she wants to get her son (4 years old) on F2. Now the question is since both the parents are not in the hom country. How to obtain visa for the kid. The grandparents are taking care of the kid right now.

Please provide your expert advise on this as she doesnt want to take chances on her kid

You can renew your visa any time that's most convenient for you.

Helloe Vo @Abujaniv. Is it possible to get granted a tourist visa without travel history? There are home ties and the person just needs to tour. Thanks

There are no hard and fast rules. In order to be approved for a visa, applicants must satisfy the interviewing officer that they are entitled to the type of visa for which they are applying and that they will depart the United States at the end of their authorized temporary stay. This means that before a visa can be issued, applicants must demonstrate strong social, economic and/or familial ties outside the United States.

You should contact the Embassy to advise them of the situation. You should also make sure to travel with all of the information listed on our web site at http://photos.state.gov/libraries/nigeria/487468/pdfs/MedicalVisaInformation.pdf. Keep in mind that the decision on whether to admit you to the U.S. is always up to the officer at the border.

Invitation letters are not required for non-immigrant visas, and VOs very often rely solely on the interview. In order to be approved for a visa, applicants must satisfy the interviewing officer that they are entitled to the type of visa for which they are applying and that they will depart the United States at the end of their authorized temporary stay. This means that before a visa can be issued, applicants must demonstrate strong social, economic and/or familial ties outside the United States.

We don't provide advice on individual cases. All information on applying for visas can be found on travel.state.gov.

As stated in many other posts, we do not give out advice on specific cases. All we can say is that in order to be approved for a visa, applicants must satisfy the interviewing officer that they are entitled to the type of visa for which they are applying and that they will depart the United States at the end of their authorized temporary stay.

Dear Ops,

how long does it take for a visa to be ready please. eg if you submit on the Tuesday 21, will it be out on 24th. cos i hear its 3 working days

superfavour:
Is it advice able for a student F-1 or M-1 visa applicants to re-apply after 90 days or more, does it also apply to that category?

@Abujaniv
