@LadyGuinivere I have been a silent reader for some time now. Had my interview today, but it was denied. The v.o seems to be dashing out visas to those before me, but she refused me for reasons I can suspect. She only asked me two questions(location and occupation) but while she was flipping through my passport she noticed i have been refused entry at poe in UK at that point, she stopped and started typing....only to hand me the blue paper. I was advised to obtain a new passport prior to the interview but its against my principle as a person(Not a saint) . Pls advise... |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by Nobody: 4:57pm On Feb 01, 2016 |
lionshare:no need to obtain a new passport actually just try to work things out and make it right that's all, can you post a detailed transcript of the interview |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by LadyGuinivere: 7:18pm On Feb 01, 2016 |
@lionshare sorry about that. Ist. Kindly do as chloe said. Post a detailed transcript. 2. Its good u didn't get a new passport. These people conduct checks and its better you own up by yourself about previous ish (abi is it ishes ) Although the truth is that a reasonable person will likely get biased upon seeing a refusal of entry. I mean she's going to think 'if UK didn't trust him enough why should we? ' Why were u refused entry though? Did u misrepresent or what? Let's deal with that ist and transcript and then proceed to the next step if any |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by lionshare: 7:57pm On Feb 01, 2016 |
chloe7:Transcript Me: good morning V.o: good morning V.o: where are you going to Me: New York V.o: what do you do? Me: own sales outlets for tech gadgets(iPhone and Samsung) and accessories in Lagos V.o: flips through passport then noticed the refusal page and then abruptly stops! Type for some seconds...sorry you are not qualified! Me: smiled, collect my papers and zoomed out! Everyone thought I had gotten the visa with the smile on my face...lol LadyGuinivere: I got a business visa for a conference in Sheffield in 2013, and I couldn't make the trip because of the outrageous fare (Margaret thatchers burial period), eventually when I got the ticket had another family emergency so I had to reschedule only to arrive a day after the conference. So I was refused entry on the grounds that the conference had ended as of the time of my arrival even though the visa was for multiple entry. Since then, I have not had any reason to travel safe for Dubai I went to last year February. Thanks ...awaiting 1 Like |

lionshare:obviously the immigration officer that refused you entry woke up on the wrong side of the bed that day if Na wetin happen be that, i'll advice you first try to sort out this uk issue first before going back to the u.s because they will always question you about why you were refused entry and they might just Continue to refuse, so why not apply for a UK visa again sort out that end then come back to America, let others contribute to this matter too |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by LadyGuinivere: 8:43pm On Feb 01, 2016 |
@lionshare I have a slightly different take. For starters, when you are refused, your circumstance has to change. You didn't commit a crime per the UK entry refusal so in my opinion what u need is to clear the mind of the next vo. However in the time out I advice u to take, try that UK again or any european country. Visit if u can afford it. That should count as substantial change. Then when you are reapplying and in the column for why u were refused, go to town. Explain what you suspect its cos of the entry refusal for uk and explain clearly werrin shele. Trust me, they l verify. If u peraventure have gotten the UK visa,U add that detail. Goodluck 2 Likes 1 Share |

Me : yes I've been to some WA countries.. ghana,togo,republic of benin and dubai VO : flipped through my passport pages and put it aside ,then took my sis passport and flipped through, Madam you ve been to the uk twice with your family My sis: yes VO: what do you do My sis : I am an operations manager in xxxxx bank VO: front or back My sis: back,i handle xxxxx VO : how much do you earn My sis: 669,000 VO: ok sorry I'll have to makke a split decision at this moment, you and your children can proceed with your traveling plans, your sister isn't eligible right now Sad but God knows best...

Motherloventina sorry about your refusal, the v.o literally took his time with you both with the tone of the transcript, you know sometime ehn and depending on the v.o these Dubai and west Africa countries travel no hold water for them, maybe just wait till you get employed or marry or travel to like one better place before you reapply, cheers dear and sorry again about the refusal. |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by LadyGuinivere: 12:52pm On Feb 02, 2016 |
motherloventina:Sorry about that dear . From the profile u posted earlier, not working, limited travel history , unmarried. This was the fear. IMO, from the transcript I believe the travel history may be the issue. Its Good you have gotten a job. But if u remember, I told u earlier its not quite ok to go as a child minder/helper. My advice for u to is to establish your own ties. Untie the apron strings from your sister. Show that you are your own person. Ordinarily folks get confirmed after a Year of getting a job. Within that year see if u can get 'better' travel history. I remember u also mentioned something about masters. By then u ought to have completed the programme. Show yourself consistent and apply to go for your own vacation and not to travel with your own sister. Godd luck 2 Likes |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by motherloventina: 1:06pm On Feb 02, 2016 |
@chloe7 I'm employed already, wanted to go with my employment letter but since I already filled my masters as my present status, I just dropped it,marriage isn't my decision alone to make so I don't knw when that will come up,and why waste money to go to where I don't feel like going or knows no one cos of usa visa..I really want to go with my sis and her kids for the family vacation, it really pained her,she said she will shift the vacation to December instead of easter as planned and I'll probably reapply like Sept/October,if marriage comes in btw as I wished and prayed,fine,if not does it mean if I apply with my new job,without marriage and other travel history, is it another waste of money or I shd just sit my ass back home? |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by motherloventina: 1:11pm On Feb 02, 2016 |
Thanks @ladyguinivere maybe I shd do Germany with my mum then.. she has a seminar sometimes middle of the year,she was there last year,its a gospel seminar once a year.. As I be lady na.. I no fit propose to myself..lol and I can't tell my guy to propose because I wan collect usa visa..lol But really if not for my sis that wants me to come with them.. I have no biz in usa.. I don't see the fun traveling alone |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by LadyGuinivere: 1:49pm On Feb 02, 2016 |
motherloventina:I agree about it not being fun travelling alone but its pointless either wasting money. IMO, the strongest tie u have now is your job. If I met. U and told u I got a job 6 months ago and I wanna go to the US on vacation, how would u rate the importance of that job to me bearing in mind I need to get my leave approved? Anyways that's just my opinion |

Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by Nobody: 5:33pm On Feb 02, 2016 |
LadyGuinivere:then in this case she needs travel history but some countries visas are hard to get e.g Germany, Canada etc they want you to go to others first before coming to test their waters especially as a young and single lady, I know single girls who have been given visas even without a office job but good travel history, and others got u.s visas as kids and now they try to get they give them one hand, so as a single person I believe it's either you are married, have a good job that you have been on for a while or have good travel history, applying as a masters student isn't a bad idea actually but I also think the travel history was the mess up Motherloventina |

Please I have this to clarify I have been formerly married but divorced since last year but I have a child wit my ex wife I have got my US visit visa since 2015 January and only visited the US just once where I spent just 7 days. Recently I hearld that my ex-wife travelled to the US with my daughter who is just 5 years old, both of them went on a visiting visas which I am aware they got around last year September, I got mine in January. Now, I plan visiting the US for vacation next week, and plans to spend just 3 weeks with my friend Now, can I be asked questions about my ex-wife's who is currently in the US ? Reason I'm asking is that we r divorced and I don't even know her whereabout now, all I know is that she's still in the US since December when she went. I only follow her on the Facebook. 1) Can I be questioned about her, even though we r divorced 2) I don't have any evidence of us being divorced, must I get to the POE with evidence of the divorced ? |

Please flying to the US with Airfrance, KLM, Qatar or any other airline that does a stop over, especially in Europe, is a transit Visa needed? Delta flies direct but too expensive. |
