I was Denied US tourist visa 22nd December 2015. Was asked, where am I working , how much is my salary, which I answered, asked if I have traveled before and I said Yes, that am I married?, said no. Asked me if I have a child, also said No. She said she isn't satisfy with my answer that I should reapply. but my girlfriend was still pregnant as at that time and the baby suppose to come for January, but due to some medical issues, she put to bed on 30th December. please when is the right time for one to reapply or how long can one wait before one reapply?
Thanks!

Haba, "See-through" situation! Relax, give it some time. Build something firmer

LadyGuinivere:
@FPL I saw your submission on the other page about the refusal form being generic and the need to personalise it.
I also saw the other guy's submission about us being treated in not so decent a fashion at the embassy.
Whilst I agree that the wait time should be less, the hall bigger and more seats provided I have a few things to note about us being Nigerians. (Caveat: this is my opinion o !)
People are generally percieved the way they carry themselves. This country is filled with so many young and vibrant fellows with no jobs. In desperation they look outward. And as we have seen on this thread, people look for ways to Hoodwink the vos. The result? We all are percieved as crooks. As my people say , when one finger touches oil, it soils the whole hand.

On the other hand. Let's analyse our soverign and independent Nigeria. We exploy expats for reasons I'll never understand. The employers care less if their resident permits have expired. They use police escorts and sirens in our fine nation. When I land in the US, I stand in the longer queue for non citizens and I'm thoroughly frisked and questioned. No wahala. No be my papa land. However I land at MM airpoort to the hot arrival hall and guess what? I'm again in the long queue and the foreigners zoom past me.
I love Nigeria and I am so proud of this country but We need to change our image. We need to have pride in self and country. Only then can our passports carry weight.
Long live the FRN.

In fact the matter tire me when the VO mentioned that only a US citizen has the sole "right" to be admitted into the US. Well, I nor blame VO but our forefathers.

I just hope I won't be selected for interview during renewal. Their wahala too many.

GOD bless Nigeria, GOD bless our oil.

I greet you and I have been studying this forum for quite a while, and couldn't figure out I could really ask a question until just recently where I discovered I could sign up and ask questions.
Yes, I am a professor of Internal Medicine from one of the Nigerian Teaching Hospital and I will like to ask u this question.
My wife who is a teacher recently ( in December 27th, 2015 ) travelled to the US with my last child who is just 5 years old to celebrate the christmas with a friend of hers in the US.
I actually bought their flight ticket ( delta airlines ) where her return back to Nigeria is supposed to be Jan 25th.
Besides, she suddenly decided to stay longer during this visit, probably she planned to take longer rest. Her intention has been that she will spend around 5 months before coming back to Nigeria, she was given 6 months at the POE.
Based on the above, I phoned the airline about changing her return data to May 2016, but the airlines refused, they said her ticket type does not support such lengthy extension.
Since my wife has decided to stay till May, and she might have to forfeit her return flight, meaning I will have to pay for their ONE WAY ticket back home in May, 2016.
However, I intended visiting her in a week time, right in the US where I plan to spend just 4 weeks.
My question:
Won't I have issues at the POE if asked why my wife and child still remain in the US and why she decided to forfeit her return flight. I hope you understand my question sir. Remember her i-94 indicated she has to return back to Nigeria around June, 2016. Won't I have problems at the POE as why she suddenly choosed to forfeit her return flight ?
Thanks

Why are you complicating issues, is she with a family member who is legal in u.s? Is she in a hotel or rented apartment by her self? I believe the later is not applicable. So why would you want to mention her name at point of entry if she is with a friend or family menber?

She is still legal in u.s with her visa status but you have no reasons of mentioning her name at poe. Who ever she is staying with, hence the individual has legal status she be your contact

Good Luck.

Hi house,
Thanks to everybody who comes back to share please I need to know if this is right my elder brother is getting married on the 11th of feb in ikoyi registry,he and his fiancé have plans to go for honeymoon in the USA,now here's the issue the gf all ready has a 2year visa but he doesn't, so he filled a ds 160 and when filling he applied as single in it since he's still single till feb 11th and the date he got for interview is feb 5th,now he plans to say exactly what he's going to do in the USA which is honeymoon for just a week and come back, he is a pharmacist for a reputable coy and has been there for over 5years,now another little issue is he has applied last year to attend our elder sisters birthday and was refused due to lack of ties and was told to reapply when his circumstances changes,any good suggestion or advice is welcome thanks

He is still single hence the interview is before his wedding. He still needs to tell them he is applying for visa because his going on a honey moon with his fiancee after there wedding on the 11th

Good Luck

That may come across as a deliberate attempt to "rig" the interview (a lot could happen between this interview date and the marriage date if granted the visa on the VO's assessment, you know). Why not at least move the interview date to somewhere right after the registry marriage has happened? Refusal to allow the interview happen after the marriage could lead to that term "you are not qualified for a visa right now" being used on you. Change of circumstance and stronger ties established could be in the form of: I'm now married; and more years of work experience has been gathered too. Good luck!

Is the middle name on your passport? Well, it seems to be a little challenge though, if the other names are on the passport. You could just explain this to them at the point of intake/entry at the embassy. They could fix that and you can easily explain that at the interview. You could also reach out to the appointment/ cgi website people and do them a mail or put across a call to them just in case you are still not comfy. Great day

Seems you already have it all covered now (if there's no plan to adjust status/overstay by any of you. I mean you, your wife and/or child) if this is all there is to your talk and your only worry is now "why she suddenly chooses to forfeit her return flight". Could have advised you some bit better if there was no suspicion though. Great day

The middle name is on the passport. Thanks for your kind response. I will reach out to them.

With all due respect sir, but your story doesn't add up totally.

A Nigerian professor's wife who is also a teacher suddenly abandoned her teaching job to stay back in the US? For what?

A Nigerian full professor of medicine with a five years old child? Or did you mean to say grandchild? Sir you must be very lucky and among the few that have attained the highest academic ranking in "Nigerian" university at a young age with our Government bureaucracy.

You're travelling next week, and she was supposed to return January 25th. Then it's not a problem at POE since she'll still be in the US as stated initially.

Please tell madam to think about it again, but if she has the energy to face another stringent VO during her renewer, no troubles. Instinct tells me otherwise.

If you are clean, you have nothing to fear.

Best wishes.

The info above is limited. I honestly can't form any opinion except that perharps the vo was in a bad mood. Again your travel history is limited. Though not a bar to visa...maybe it cinched the vo's mind.
If u can give us a bit about yourself cos the vo read your whole form, we didn't.
What do u do? For how long? How much do u earn?

Hello everyone,
Pls I would appreciate your advise.
I made visa appointments for I and my family but want to find out if it is possible to cancel and use the Dropbox option which we qualify for. Pls has anyone done this successfully?
Also I have read up a couple of people who were asked to go and reschedule their appointments due to difference In DS 160 and confirmation no/ details. Pls can someone explain this error so others can possibly avoid it?

Thank you.

This error usually occurs when folks run faster than their shadows and book appointment before completing and submitting ds 160. They usually create another ds 160 and the result is that both don't match.
Compare your appointment page with ds 160 before ur date.
Just cancel the date and drop your stuff at the appros DHL offices if you quallify. When u go to either your profile or u start filling the ds 160,(can't rem which now. Long day. Fried brains) There are prompts to ask if you qualify for dropbox.

Isn't Richmond expensive? Is the budget sheet outragously expensive? Anyways the vo no even look am.
If the costs/prices are fair, reapply exactly with the same details and then maybe go with hubby this time around. Good luck

Does someone need to notify the US officials on the decision to make a change of a return flight date back to Nigeria. Like for example, if on my return flight ticket, I'm meant to return home on January 20th, but I now decide to extend my return by another 3 months, which is April. Does one need to inform the US officials about this change ?

As written here by you, no issues yet at all in fairness to you. Extra factors are the things that bring issues. Still a good time for you to travel all things being equal. The more time she spends there the dimmer your chances of entering the US. Funny thing is that she is entitled to staying there up till the 180Days, but the more she stays the more it affects you, unless your visas are not related or connected at all. Is she not having something doing in Nigeria, if no, was the interviewing VO aware at the time of her interview? What's keeping her in the US, is she enjoying anything restricted to only US citizens, LPRs and tax payers? For how long is your visa and her visa still valid dear Prof? Give or take, overstaying leads to issues particularly when it comes to renewal (unless that is non of your bizness, staying more than necessary even within the 180days affects "technically" if not well explained subsequently, a day more than 180 attracts 3 years ban, more than 365 attracts 10years ban). The info you may be hoarding may just be you guy'z undoing sha in the future if there's any! Between, you seem much more like interested in you entering the US to join your family than coming out of there with your family though. Good luck

Several other factors could militate against one pursuant of a US visa that we may not be able to identify from transcript. That little secret you think you are hiding neatly may be bare to them e.g., using multiple packages at some related embassies without knowing it amongst others. "Good on paper but bad otherwise" is sometimes the end result! Coming out straight remains the best if I must advise. All the best in your reapplying

Worry. I see u!

Thank you very much. We got our visas about a year apart. This trip was her third trip. Previous trips she spent less than 2 weeks each before she returned. As at now, she has not even spent 30 days in the US since she left Nigeria. She was given 6 months at POE, meaning she has until June. Will it be illegal for her to cancel her return flight scheduled for next week, and then buy another ONE WAY flight back to Nigeria in MAY ? Honestly she can never be out of status and will never want to do such. Shes a retired teacher and now owns her own College here in Nigeria. She has more than 20 workers in her private school here in Nigeria. She just wants to spend like 5 months in the US. Remember her previous 2 trips , she spent less than 2 weeks each on those visits. Does the US have record of the return date stated on the current flight ticket ?
Thanks

Help! .. we ve been finding it difficult to upload our passport photograph for the past 4 days and our appointment date is close by.. its saying "image colour may be unnatural or grayscale"

Pls has anyone travelled with Qatar airways here before? What's the experience like especially for a family of four. I like to know cos it appears they have the cheapest offer. I know in many cases cheap things come with their shortcomings. Your views especially from experienced persons will be appreciated.

Qatar airline isn't a cheap airline, unless u re very lucky to get a cheap price. Their Aircrafts are really good, smooth in the air, I have travelled with them to different countries more than 6 times.
For me, they are one of the best and very very safe.

No need uploading. Just complete and submit your DS160 form without it for now. But, go take a passport picture (to specification oh) between 500-700 naira and take the hardcopy with you to the interview. That's all!

I haven't, but I believe they should be cool. Airlines from that axis are always correct. I have used Emirate and Etihad, very long trip though! I read about the other airlines complaining about the edge they have because of their government (Arab oil money intervention and subsidy) coming to assist them. Deliberately ensure you fly the A380 or 787 though. The planes on the African particularly Nigeria route can be annoying though (almost all airlines going to their home country for transit purpose)
