seyewest:when my mum did this sh was refused visa and it was clearly stated that funds from business account can't be used for personal travel holidays etc, oyibo believes in savings account you should separate business money from savings, savings is what you have available to yourself abeg. |

Since I learnt a lot from this trend, I have decided to share my interview transcripts. Me: Good morning. VO: (I don't know whether she replied me) you are going to Ithaca? Me: yes VO: for what? Me: to attend an international conference on so so ans so VO: do you have an invitation letter for that? ME: yes ( I handed it over) VO: how will the conference benefit your career? Me: (well...I was not taken of guard by that question because I knew I would be asked and I dished her immediately what I prepared about how the conference would benefit my career) VO: (she looked at me intently, burst into smile and quickly controlled it. But I got her. She frowned up again.) What is the so so and so? Me: I gave her what I knew the conference subject matter was about based on my knowledge VO: what is the cause of the so and so? Me: ( I told her) VO: what do you do? Me: I supervise government agricultural project whereby periodic recruitments of unemployed xx State unemployed youths are recruited to train them on different ventures in agriculture to create their interest in it. VO: How much do you earn? Me: 195000 VO: Sorry your visa cannot be approved at this time bla bla Actually, I felt bad. I went away and since I felt within me that there was no reason why I should be denied, I immediately paid for another appointment with the hope that I would still get an appointment date before the conference date would be over and be interviewed by a different VO. Looooo! I was wrong, I paid the fee but I could not get another date before the conference. So, I kept my receipt for another day. In less than six months latter, I decided to attend another conference on the same subject matter. I tried to make use of my previous receipt. The system rejected it. I called the customer care and I was told that I have used it sometime for Dropbox. I was stunned. Dropbox ke? I never had a US visa before. How come Dropbox. Did anyone steal my receipt details to use it for himself? So they told me I had to pay for another appointment. I paid and went for another interview. As I was lined up to enter, I started reciting "the Lord is my Shepherd. Me: good morning VO: (thank God it's another VO this time, but a woman) good morning Me: where in the state are you going? VO: what are you going for? Me: I am going to attend an international conference VO: what's the name of the conference? Me: (at that point because of the tension of not wanting to be denied the second time, my memory almost failed me but I managed to composed myself and stuttered out the name of the conference) VO: if you were in government, how would you ensure food security? ME: I would provide soft loans to farmers to encourage their agricultural practices. VO: what is soft loan? Me: (I told her. Seemed satisfied) VO: how will the conference benefit you? Me: (I told her; seemed satisfied. But while telling her, I mentioned a term "ground breaking discovery". Immediately she cut it and asked...) VO: what ground breaking discovery? Me: ( I was shocked hearing that. Watin kind question be this?. I told her something. Seemed satisfied) VO: have you traveled before? Me: yes to Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Tanzania VO: how much do you earn? Me: 195000 from my paid job, 50000 from farm work because I am a farmer also, bla bla bla VO: do you think you can afford this trip? Me: (na wao, na who go answer say he no fit afford am before.) yes VO: how long have you been preparing for his? Me: since last year VO: are you married Me: yes VO: how many children Me: two VO: what's the name of your child? Me: so so so VO: (smiled) your visa is approved Me: ( I was like totally deaf no more hearing "your visa has been approved". I didn't know why the VO was smiling at me. I tried to regain my consciousness back and realized she approved my visa, and that's the reason for the smile. I just manage to squeeze out a smile that was not there back at her) it's my pleasure I walk away joyful. I thank all the resourceful people of this trend. God bless all of you. I really learn a lot from here. This is on behalf of we silent readers union. Thank you. 17 Likes |

kooljay5: Evidence to show that the money in your bank account is from a legitimate business source. E.G contract award letters, bill of landing, invoices, way bill etc. The aforementioned documents are not required to attend a visa interview at the US consulate. You can attend an interview three months to your travel date. |

Which of the contact in the States is best advised to input as the contact person/organization in the form online? Applicant is attending a conference in San Antonio which is the main purpose of travel but will also be visiting the spouse who lives in a different state after the conference. Also, there's no space to fill the secondary purpose of visit. Which is best advised? |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by LadyGuinivere: 6:58am On Apr 03, 2016 |
Itstyme:Fill the purpose that best reflects your purpose of travel. U are the person that knows that best. U can then explain other purposes at the interview |

Goodday all. I am married with three kids. My uncle is in US. He is inviting myself and family. On the relationship section, should I chose RELATIVE or OTHER? should my wife also chose RELATIVE or OTHER? should my children chose RELATIVE or OTHER? |

Good morning guys. I am married with 2 boys. I applied for US visa alone last year march but I was denied. I travelled to dubai with my 2 boys in December. Now i want to reaply with my boys by August. My husband is not interested in traveling. I hope they give us. Kindly advise pls. My name is still in my maiden name. |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by worry359(m): 8:52am On Apr 04, 2016 |
indianteddy007: If you are still using your maiden name with two children it could look like you have no ties to your husband. You have to give very strong proof that you are not trying to immigrate with your boys or you will get 212b rejection. |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by indianteddy007: 9:05am On Apr 04, 2016 |
worry359:What do you advise i do... i have our marriage certificate to proof it |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by Ayluvparis: 10:17am On Apr 04, 2016 |
indianteddy007: Dont let anyone advice u wrongly.u are gud to go wiv d presentation of ur marriage certificate.ur husband not travelling wiv u is enuf tie as well to ur country. |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by FrontPageLawyer(m): 10:47am On Apr 04, 2016 |
Ayluvparis: Trust me, not a good advice. The visa officer is not interested in her marriage certificate, it is advisable she goes with her husband even if he's not travelling with her, except he already has a US visa, only then will the officer check through the system. |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by indianteddy007: 11:04am On Apr 04, 2016 |
FrontPageLawyer:my husband is a contractor he does nt have that time. He is always out of lagos. I went to dubai last year alone with the kids. Really dont know what to do |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by FrontPageLawyer(m): 11:25am On Apr 04, 2016 |
indianteddy007: We all know the law places burden of proof on individual applicants to prove that they will leave the US at the end of their stay. If you think you have other strong ties to convince the VO, go ahead with your application. But from my experience and what I have studied so far, I am 100% sure the visa officer will ask this question " why is your husband not travelling with you" and if the bolded is your answer, I'm afraid your chances of getting a "yes" will be close to impossible. But you can give it a shot. |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by LadyGuinivere: 11:36am On Apr 04, 2016 |
indianteddy007:Most times the answer we seek is one the website of the embassy. Most times the answer we seek have been dealt with here but we refuse to read. Other times, our answers dwell in common sense. I have a visa. Expired. Renewed. And renewed . I'm married. My passport is still in my maiden name. My friend applied with her son and not with her husband. Maiden name. She got. Chloe here applied with maiden name. Got. Does that answer your question? Please inveest time to preapre and research. Goes a long way to prevent u from making avoidable mistakes or taking wrong counsel. 1 Like |

FrontPageLawyer:But The posters's answer is exactly what I answered. Husband is busy at work. And I got the visa. Herein lies the danger of advicing on chances... Applications re judged holisitically. If Buhari's wife says her husband is busy at work, will that be a bar to getting the visa? Peace |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by keni: 12:12pm On Apr 04, 2016 |
Matcoco:The problem is not really the fact that you didn't disclose your intention, they think you didn't leave the US at all while processing your renewal IMO |
