Ah Arizona. I was looking at a short trip to new york.. maximum 5 days. I haven't made up my mind when though. . I thought I would do OZ-New york-Nigeria next month but I removed new york from the trip so I have to figure out when the first quarter of next year I have to fix the trip for. I can't be bothered sourcing out accomodation in New york cloe to central park

May God grant you safe journey and safe delivery of Jenny Junior

1. DONT be in a rush to visit the USA regardless of how urgent.

2. Visit other countries in Africa, Middle East, Europe and any other visa issuing nation. This builds trust you wont run away.

3. If you can, take your spouse and kids along.

4. lastly and most important, when you want to try USA, Say the Truth when applying beginning with your application form. Let them know you had lied before in your 1st application and you will never do it again.

5. Trust God and pray Hard.

NB: I was in your situation pre-2014. I had misrepresented in 2004 also. I did the above and i got a visa 2014. It took me 10yrs. But i got it and have visited USA.
So, say the TRUTH. Don't wait to be caught because, they will catch you ooooo.

Hi everyone..hubby and I have a valid B1/B2 visa,but out 2 kids don't have yet,except out last baby the 3rd who is a citizen of the US. Please can the good people of this forum assist me on how to get the other of our two kids visit visa too? Do we take them to the embassy? Or can we just use a drop box? 2. My hubby has his valid visa,but hasn't travelled due to the nature of his job. We are looking forward to him traveling before the visa expires. I asked this cos someone said if not used before the first 6months of issue,it can count against someone at renewal. How true is this?

yemyem2:

Thanks and God bless your home. I am very greatful for your advise. I will definitely stick to it. I was so naive back then. I didnt just know anything concerning travelling and visa process. If i had known...I would have sincerelly applied. Thanks once again. God bless

Hi, good people of NL...Please i have a quick question. We were given family visa(I,my wife and 2 kids) in July this year, We traveled together in august and spent 3 weeks. I have intentions of going again come this December, for 30 days. But this time around its just myself and my wife traveling without the kids. My wife is going for a surgery in usa and the doctor advised she needs someone to stay with her throughout and we also need to spend at least 3 weeks there before she can be fit to fly back home.

My main question is about the port of entry, can I just state that my wife is going for a surgery to justify our reason for traveling without the kids and also staying for 30days?....We have the B1/B2 visitors visa, and NOT a medical visa, I hope this wont raise an alarm? Please is it ok to just tell them we are going for surgery or can i just state we going for xmas holidays without the kids?

Pls urgent responses needed....my oga Justwise pls help your boy...........

Your B1B2 visa covers medicals. So you can tell the CBP the exact thing you are going to the US to do.

However, you need to be prepared. Have your Dr's and Hospital's email correspondence, a document showing the total cost breakdown of the surgery and enough monetary evidence to cover the whole procedure and more for incontegencies. Please, don't go saying the money you intend spending is in your credit card. They usually want to see cash.

You may also want to inform the embassy here in Nigeria via email about your plans and asking for "approval" to go ahead. They usually reply. Print this reply and have it handy.

Goodluck.

Hello family. I want to apply for a 3 day conference in Las Vegas that centres on the services which I render in my business career. My business was registered with CAC last month. My monthly income is not more than 50k. Hope my bank account statement won't pose a barrier to the visa approval or do I get a co-sponsor (my dad/sister). I'm in my early twenties so my business is the only tie I have. I seriously need the conference to beat the aged competitors in Nigeria. Thank you.

Every circumstance is treated differently from previous situations. What happened in the past may not be used against your present application only if previously you did not tender questionable documents.

Phema:


You just started your business and you're not earning much. Taking the little money you should be investing in the business to attend a conference is not a wise decision. You should groom your business to the extent that you can conveniently afford to sponsor yourself for such a trip.

Your family (dad/sis) should not be sponsoring you for a work/business related conference.

Your business will not stand as a sufficient tie as you just registered it and not earning much from it.

Have you made your first trip to the USA?

Phema:


Nope. Why?

Jchi9876:


Just wondering how you became so much of a guru without having made your first trip. Information is power. Keep it up.

Thanks.

But then, this is about Visa and not about what the US looks or smells like.

You don't need to travel to become a guru. You can become a guru in the subject by reading and listening other people experiences. It is just like becoming a coach.
