toluwee: Hello Toluwee, This is more a question for the Department of Homeland Security's Customs and Border Protection... We issue visas that get you to the port of entry. It is up to CBP whether or not you'll be allowed into the United States. Regards, Abuja NIV Team |

Femite74: Hello Femite74, Just be honest about what happened with the Consular Officer during the interview. We know many applicants were forced to reschedule their August appointments. Regards, Abuja NIV Team |

JohnSnow008: Hello JohnSnow008, We recommend applying as far out as possible for your visa appointment to ensure you do not miss your purpose of travel in the United States. We cannot guarantee that you will be able to schedule an appointment in time. However, you should consider filing an emergency appointment request and justifying your need. Regards, Abuja NIV Team |

DofGod: Hello dofGod, Filling out a lottery submission does not count as applying for immigrant status. However, if you continued in the system and formal procedures were initiated, that does. If you are asked about it during the interview, be as honest as possible. Any discrepancies beween what you say and what our system says could damage your credibility as an applicant. Regards, Abuja NIV Team |

medeay: Hello medeay, Are you undergoing the process of immigrating to the United States? This can certainly affect your chances as we consider your stated intent to immigrate in the coming years. However, just like all applicants, you are simply required to demonstrate your ties to Nigeria and legitimate purpose of travel. Regards, Abuja NIV Team |

ic3tipz: Hello ic3tipz, This is a very common question. There are no required documents for a B1/B2 visa application. Please bring your passport and confirmation page with receipt. Regards, Abuja NIV Team |

MarieEyre: Hello MarieEyre, Financial means is just one way of demonstrating ties to Nigeria. They should be able to demonstrate professional, cultural, and/or familial ties to their homeland. Riches are not required to receive a US visa, just ability to cover your trip costs and enough ties to compel you to return home. Regards, Abuja NIV Team |

Re: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening by thelysoft: 2:35pm On Jul 27, 2015 |
Dear VO, Do we apply via drop box or go through the normal interview?. Let me give you a little background story of what formed my question. My 3 year old daughter and i got a visiting Visa (BIB2) in Sept. 2013 and we were to visit for 13 days. i became sick and could not travel as planned but fortunately for me 'the sickness' was a good one (was trying for a second child then). We eventually postponed the trip until when i got better and also for my daughter to be able to be a little bride to my friend who lives in Houston....the one we were going to visit. The wedding was close to my delivery period and we decided to kill several birds (visit, wedding and delivery) with the same stone. We succeeded after we were detained for long at Houston airport by the immigration officers and by God's intervention we were allowed. Now to my question, our Visa will be expiring in September and we are planning another visit, however, i would not want to go through the same ordeal. Considering that i am ready for another baby (not pregnant yet) and would like to have the next one in the US (enjoyed the treatment i got at the hospital and my doctor was very nice and cool). I will like to get a Visiting Visa as i am planning to take my kids on Vacation and also paradventure i get pregnant i will like to be able to use same Visa to have a baby in the USA again. What route should i go? The Drop Box or regular interview?. |

eziafakise: princeabisoye: The only documents you need are the DS-160 confirmation sheet and your passport. Visas can be renewed before they expire, or after. |

victosin00002: It doesn't sound like you have broken any laws - I don't see why there would be any problems. |
Re: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening by Nobody: 3:36pm On Jul 27, 2015 |
suxes2005: I honestly don't understand what you mean by "verify the letters sent from Homeland." Your friend's best best is to contact LagosNIV@state.gov to get additional information on his/her case. |

DofGod: Applying to the visa lottery does not negatively affect your ability to get a tourist visa. |

tariy: I don't know about your specific case. We don't provide answers about specific cases anyways. Having a good travel history and owning a business are only two parts of your entire application though... |

LagosNIV: Thanks for your input and concern. Homeland Security sent two letters when the review was going on. First was to confirm and the second was to clear him of any wrong doings. I told him to send a mail this morning. I really appreciate your time. Thanks |
Re: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening by tariy: 5:25pm On Jul 27, 2015 |
LagosNIV:Thank you VO well I noticed whenever the visa officers ask me if I have a child or am pregnant and I tell them no, the next thing I see is a refusal letter. This has always happened in all interview I attended..... |

Dear VO: I commend you highly for this helpful thread. Please keep up the good work. Now to my issue. I am a student studying in the USA and my mum plans to visit me in Jan. 2016. She already has a valid US visa which was issued to her in April 2015. The reason she applied for that visa was her intention to attend my graduation which unfortunately, she could not attend because of work. However, on her DS 160, she stated her destination was Tennessee; my former state of residence but now there is a change of plan as i no longer live in TN but now reside in Virginia where i'm pursuing a higher degree. My question now is, will she encounter any problem at the POE (she plans to come in through washington dulles) if she explains to the CBP officer that she is going to Virginia instead of TN as already mentioned on her DS 160? I wanted to email the US embassy about this sudden change but i do not know if this is appropriate. Keep in mind this is her first travel to the US. I look forward to reading from you. Many thanks. |

Hi VO, My cousin was trying to fill out a DS160 application for her daughter. She got an error message "An unexpected error has occurred while processing your previous request. The error has been reported to the site administrator; no further action is required". Since then, she has not been able to proceed with the application. Please advise what she can do, she has almost concluded with the application and was about to submit before having this error. |

Dear V.O, I've just been admitted into UALR and scheduled an expedited interview at the Lagos consulate which was duly granted for the 12th of August. My problem is I have to attend mandatory orientation program on the 11th and 12th of August which I explained when I applied for the expedited date. Please what can I do as the orientation is important for class registration? I have been advised to look into changing my interview location to Abuja as the dates are usually more accommodating but there's no way to really know what dates are available there without registering using the same parameters as those I used to setup my Lagos interview. I neither want to cancel my present appointment without being sure of Abuja's available dates nor do I want to end up having two appointments. Please what would you advise me to do? Is there any way to check available dates in Abuja and reschedule to that location if favourable without breaching any rule? Thanks for the anticipated help! |

Dear VO, My sister and her 1 year old applied for non immigrant visa to us as her hubby is there and he invited them for his bday wc is in august. They attended the interview on 22rd of ds month butwas denied visa. My sister said she noticed the consular was chkn her daughters passport critically. He even went to call another person to check using Dr scanner. But was eventually denied. I tried chkn ds evening online with their application number and discovered that my sisters own shows issued and that she shd contatct usa consular if she doesnt get it in 10days but her daughter's own shows refused. Another confusing tin is dat my sisters own shows case creation date as 14th and status updated 15th meanwhile dey attended d interview on 22rd d date on her daughters own is correct. She is really confused.wat cld b d problem |

Dear VO, I wasn't allowed in with my 17 year old brother for his student visa interview. The security officials said it's because he is going to University, not High School. Please is this correct? |
