You should probably ask the visa officer and state what kind of visa you have.

Your choice.
As long as your passport had a 6 month validity you can use it for an application and travel with it or get a new passport and travel with both.
Personally, carrying two passports at the same time is a hassle for me. I prefer to have my visa on my new passpot

I really appreciate your efforts and various comment to different question. I just applied for a visiting visa and my interview will be coming up next month. Am a newbie and I want to know if travelling experience is a must to get my visa approved. My friends keeps saying I should travel to dubai to disvirgin my passport but I don't have enough money for that. I have all the documents to back my claims and the invitation letter. Thanks

A lot of people get US visa without any prior travel experience. They focus more on your family / social ties to Nigeria than weather you have travel out b4 or not.

Although previous travels could be an added advantage in some situations.

You mean you wanna leave 23rd May and return 4th of june... it won't work

good afternoon house. Pls, I want to ask a question. A friend of mine is 23yrs and had applied for a tourist visa to the USA. He is using his dad account. Coz his dad is the one funding the trip. His dad is really rich. My question now is, is it right to present his dad statement of account or should his dad put a lot of money in my friend's account, so he could tender his own account? Pls which one is the best? Hope to hear from you all. Thanks.

Hilda. Sorry I'm going to be a bit harsh now. Wjy have u decided not to work hard for your good. Something u could easily have gotten from a quick google search/ or from the embassy website or from the ist page of this thread was why u put up your prsonaal email and exposed yourself to hackers.
Well . Na your cuppa tea abeg. You can join your password too

He has to do None of the above cos;
1. His father's money is not his ties. He's an adult.
2. The vo does not ask for statements for visit visas.

But he is a student. What strong ties could he say he has?

Do u expect to be told wht he dosent have? Visas are given to those with percieved ties. If by you guys' evaluation, he dosent have any, which answer do u expect to that question?

Fill another ds160, call or email the embassy to swap the wrong one with the correct one

Good job Nairaland. I've been following this thread for about 3months.
My family's vacation visa was approved this morning. Thanks to you guys for the wealth of knowledge obtained here.
Here's our transcript below :
Vo: Good morning
Hubby & I: we answered good morning with a smile.
Vo: where are you going in US
US: We answered Orlando florida
VO: Why Florida?
US: Family vacation and we have places we wanna see in Orlando
Vo: places like where?
Us: we answered Disney world , sea world and hubby said Skydive Spaceland cos he want to skydive
VO: Wow. You're the first person I'ld ever hear say he's going skydiving.
VO to Hubby: What do you do?
Hubby: I work with Bank as Asset Custodian.
Vo to me: Ma'am, what do you do?
Me: I work with as Executive Assistant
*VO continues typing*
VO: How long have you been married? Is this your only child?
Hubby: 2013. Yes, only child.
VO: OK. ..How much does the skydiving cost?
Hubby: $315
VO: Are you seeking any medical help in the US?
Me: No.
VO: OK. Come back for your visa in 3days


Pls be truthful and avoid misinterpretation because every question is basically about your DS160 form.

Good morning house. i already applied for B1/B2 visa twice last year, June and October, but was denied. I have again now gotten an invitation in a first tier educational institution for a short program of 5days, of which i was advised to apply for visit visa as i-20 can't be issued to me as i do not need students F 1 visa, for such short program.
Now my question is this, any hope of getting it right this time around, even with this kind of situation. I know how it feels to have tried it twice and failed, though i have learnt from past failures, coupled with my exposures here. I now know better! Kindly add your advices and comments pls. Lagos or abuja? Which is better? I have been to both in my past failed attempts.

Congratulations! Lagos or Abuja?

geojoe91:

LadyG is right - if you can look at the situation and assess that he doesn't have any ties to Nigeria, then perhaps he shouldn't waste the money so that he has to hear it from a VO.

Chill, relax.... Some good time has passed since your last application, good. What ties have been built over this period that can be depended on? What has changed since your last application? Do highlight. However coming across as desperate I must say, particularly because of the 5 day short program (first tier or no first tier institution invitation or not) not even looking as a departure from the previous, looking like same desperate application in yet another guise. To what intent exactly this time? Why it, advantages? Lagos or Abuja isn't an issue too, set rules, patterns and standards will always be followed. You said and i quote "I have learnt from past failures, coupled with my exposures here. I now know better!", sure @ the bolded? Best wishes all the same
