"One who ask questions is wise"

Hello ma people.. The likes of lady G, chloe, and other guyz which there name is not familiar to me. I great you all for the great work you have engaged into in this forum so far.
I wish to ask some ques as regard.
Ma interview is in next month which is early march. I am a Doctor going for conference base on ma profession. Just want to ask if i need to attach ma marriage certificate to the document i'm taking along. i am going alone, no family attache.. Or anything you think it will be necessary to take along so that i will not be left dumbfolded. This is ma first time applying though.
Thanks in anticipation

I know that with emirates if ur layover time is more than 12hrs or so and at the time u booked it that was the only available flight they will book u into a hotel in dubai. I dunno about other airlines. I was told this by emirates staff in dubai cos I inquired about what makes them lodge u in a hotel n what makes them not to. But to be on the safe side call them, explain the situation n know their MO.

nextedge:
Please is there anyone who has travelled with Turkey airlines to the US before? What was the experience like? Can you recommend them? In addition, I discovered that the layover while coming back is 22hrs(this means at your arrival from Chicago to Istanbul, you have to wait in the airport for 22hrs before the connecting flight to Lagos takes off. I like to know how people who have traveled this route cope. Thanks for any helpful response.

Good Morning Doctor....

You can go with your marriage certificate just in case the VO has any doubt he/she may ask you for the certificate.
And while attending a conference it's not necessary you go with your family except you planed a vacation alongside your conference.
Also go with your conference invite, they may not ask to see it though...
Lastly, be prepared to defend the reason you are attending the conference and how it helps you or your job.

You did not state if she was issued a 2years B1/B2 visa or was just given a Month/6 Month or less visa.

However, you can only qualify for a Dropbox if:

The applicant’s last visa interview resulted in an issuance;
The applicant was ISSUED a TWO-YEARS B1/B2 United States visa;
The visa expired no more than TWO-YEARS prior to re-issuance;
The applicant has never been arrested nor had an encounter with law enforcement, customs, or immigration officials in the United States.

Can u reaply? Yes.
Will the outcome be different? Most probably not. The vo does not need to go through your passport or documents to make his desicion. He had your form before him.
What u can do is to cancel your flight and book another flight which u should only do AFTER u get issued a visa.

I often feel sad when people with genuine visa intentions get denied... Anyway, i strongly think you should reapply because vo's make mistakes too and their colleagues do acknowledge this by eventually issuing the visa. And also note that if you've shown any act or sign of desperado or you gave innuendos that suggests that you are not what you are claiming you will continually be refused.

LadyGuinivere:

I dey wait.....

thanks for your response, but mean while he said he couldn't remember the email he used to book the previous appointment, please how can he go about this....

Applying again is unlikely to result in a different answer unless you have some new information to provide - contrary to popular belief, refusals have nothing to do with the "intentions" of the applicants. Some folks just don't meet the criteria to qualify for a certain visa class, even if they have the best of intentions. This is dictated by U.S. immigration law.

This is not about genuine intentions or not. Some criteria have to be met. If he didn't meet it, he didn't. Like he says there are other routes to dominica republic so its not like its a do or die affair. If he refuses to explore those Other routes, then a desperado situation will be implied...

*passing by*

hello house..finally went in for my interview today o ---so much crowd! i was like: why do we all have to be here? Well, i answered that question myself in my head.

The VO that attended to me was a no-joke dude, straight face, refused like 3 people before me under one minute.i just told myself, its no do or die jor - i would jst visit other countries. So,

Transcript:
Vo: hey, you look stupid...go away.

me: noooooo!!!.....ok Just kidding --real convo:


Vo: Goodmorning
Me: Hi, Goodmorning
VO: why do you want to go to the US?
Me: Visit my closefriend and sightsee *he types*
VO: So what do you do?
Me: am an IT bla bla bla with Bla bla bla institution *he types*
VO: Where do you wanna go in the US?
Me; First stop is to ohio to see my friend but we have plans to visit other cities too
VO: Have you travelled outside Nigeria before?
Me: Yes, i listed the countries *he types and checks passport*
VO: Well, am sorry..you do not qualify at this time, picked up the blue sheet
opened my passport to slide it in, looked up at his screen, then paused and said " oh wait a minute, something came up" *my heart skipped a thousand beats* as i exclaimed "wow!"and he started typing again and again (i wonder what all of them keep typing with those fast fingers)

he kept trying to do something to my passport for a while then said " am sorry am having a little issue wit my system" ( at this point, my soul was at the mosque praying - was just my body at the embassy waiting)

then finally, he said "ok, here u go" (handing me the white paper for pickup)

At this point, i could only whisper a thank you.
Dont knw if he was kidding abt denying me at first or he actually saw sumthng and changd his mind--watever it was, he got me!


I honestly do not know what these people look out for, its amazing how they do these things to decide who to give or not. My advise is just: State the truth. Its better to be denied when you stated the truth, you know you qualify & wont misuse the privilege than to be denied if you cooked up stories.

You don't need a US visa to get to Dominica.

You need a US TRANSIT Visa.

You need to do your homework well before spending 32k
