@LadyG make una take am easy.... About the conference I think I will like to add my 2 cent.

*First, If you registered for a conference that's not part of your work or you don't have in dept knowledge of pls just forget about it.Because you maybe denied at the embassy or POE.

*Secondly due to Nigeria problem with forex you may have to pay for conference above $300 twice which means you will share your card details with the organizer or send it to their account if you can or western union it to them hopefully they will receive it.

*Thirdly, You will need the letter of invitation at POE and expect some questioning.

*Also it's important that you have strong ties in your home country.

I think there's a lot of scam conference on conferencealert.com what you have to do is go on google and type what you do and add conference to it, you will see a lot of real conference I'm sure of that.

looking forward to a positive response

Beniyoha01:
@onyemachius forget about everything you filled in the past and fill in a new DS 160. I can assure you that you won't be asked any question on a No-show application from wayback.

And if they do ask... Explain exactly to them the way you posted it above.

Hello Lady G, kudos to you for the good job you are doing here. God bless you abundantly.

Please I need your help urgently.

I have a valid visa, I am applying for my daughter (a minor, we bear different surname, I'm a single mother). I added her on my profile as a dependent but system recognised two applications. I decided to delete her on my profile and opened a fresh application page but still couldn't complete the process as I kept getting an error message that she is already under my profile as a dependent.

Please, how can how I successfully get an appointment for her (Visa fee already paid in her name).

Is it compulsory that I get father's consent? I have been responsible for her since she was born. How do I convince the Visa Officer that I have been responsible for her? Is there anything I need to do? Documents? Sworn affidavits?

Thanks as you reply speedily.

chloe7:
yes I got pta in Fidelity bank two days ago.

Sotchaa:


Hi chloe7 did you just open an account with them or you've always had an account? Kindly share...need PTA too and someone who works there told me they don't give to new account holders.

LadyGuinivere:

God bless u.
Two questions. The ist one is a techhnical issue. Go thru the feedback page and send a message to the embassy or just email them from your email direct.

#Father'sconsent. . A lotta People have different names on their passports with their kids. My friend did. If u are a single mother, IMO, I doubt that the vo will ask u about father's consent. You have been her legal guardian for all intents and purposes. If u are asked, u can tell the truth, I am her legal guardian and have beeen the one making desicions on her welfare from birth. Do U have her school records etc? Anything wherein only u signed?
But, I doubt the issue will come up though like I alwats say, be prepared

newwine076:



Thanks for your response.

I have sent several email to USVISA support team. It's as if I'm talking to a robot. They kept replying that I should give additional information, I even copied what I wrote here (which you responded to cos you could comprehend when you read it), they still replied that I should give additional information.

They kept closing the case without proffering solution.

I am just tired.

Don't know what next to do.

@Ladyguinivere, chloe7 and every guru. Kudos to you guys.
Kindly torchlight the matter for me abeg, sometime in 2014, my mum and I applied to travel to the US for a church annual programme and we were granted. We were however unable to attend the programme because i got pregnant around that time and had severe morning sickness, my dad who we were supposed to travel together with then(he already had his Visa and attended the program every year) also took ill at that time and he eventually died in Feb 2015. I have travelled on my own visa in 2015 and our visas will expire by June 2016.
However, My mum together with my younger sis and bro have been invited for this year's programme (July)and they want to apply together. My younger bro was in the UK till December 2015 when he relocated to Nigeria to carry with one of my dad's biz and he makes an average of 250k monthly from the biz, he also gets an average of 100k monthly from rents and lease of my late father's properties. My younger sis (been to UK)is a Masters degree student in Nig and she also gets an average of 100k monthly from rent and lease of father's propertities, she also gets 50k monthly for her upkeep from my mother. My mother makes an average of 400k monthly including monies from rents. My brother will sponsor himself while my mum will sponsor herself and my sis. Do u think my mum sponsoring my sis will put her at a disadvantage cos she is 27years. Actually she has a bal of like 600k in her personal account but we are thinking the VO may say how can a student sponsor herself.

LadyGuinivere:

I feel u. I have been having the same issue for days with them. Call that their nos. Have u given them the additional info they asked for?

LadyGuinivere:

So in summary your sister is 27 years, unmarried, masters degree holder, being to the UK , is not working but gets a stipend from your mom.
So she has travel history but no job. The truth is that her ties is in issue and your mom sponsoring her is also entwined with all the other factors.If your mom dosent sponsor her, who will? If she says she's spending ALL her savings on a trip that soinds off.
Will the VO hold in her favour , I honestly cannot say o! All I can say is to 'keep the faith'
Btw are u related to motherlovetina? If not read her posts cos una story similar

Can i schedule an interview appointment for a thursday? B1/b2 category, urgent response pls

newwine076:




Do you have any idea of what additional info they are asking for? To the best of my knowledge, I have given all information at my disposal. I asked them to be precise about the additional info required, all I got was closure of the case.

I don't have their numbers, kindly forward if you do.

Thanks. God bless you

She is still doing the masters degree programme.
Tried searching for that moniker but couldn't find it, pls quote the person's post so i can read it.

motherloventina:

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

LadyGuinivere:

nefertitiram:


Quite similar but I think she was denied and her sister and family granted

motherloventina:
@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?

No, we are not related.
BTW, they will only be paying for dre flight ticket cause its stated in the invitation that accommodation and feeding would be taken care of by the program organiser. So she may just be needing like 300k for the trip.

Herbwise:
Greetings all, my brother made a mistake while filling the DS160 form. His original place of birth is LAGOS(shown in his passport) but he filled IBADAN. HE HAS SUBMITTED THE FORM AND BOOKED AN APPOINTMENT DATE ON APRIL...., PLEASE CAN ANYTHING BE DONE ABOUT IT? SHOULD HE FILL ANOTHER FORM? what should we do. urgent assistance needed please.

seyewest:

My take is that it's up to your mom to defend why she's paying for your sister's trip and also your sister should be able to defend herself because her bank account balance is enough for her travel to the U.S especially when mom is gonna pay for the flight.
Be straight forward all will be well.
