Good day house... I'll be applying for a B1/B2 visa for my family of 3 (me, wife, and 18months son). I run a media company and I earn an average of 300k to 400k per month. I have saved for this trip though, but an agent said it might not fly, hence the need to get some docs for me. Skeptical though, but I'm a bit confused, what do u guys think?

See eh,

This is not about settling the bill or not settling the bill

The problem is the attitude towards the son's bill. She let US settle the child's bill because he is a citizen. Nothing spoil. No crime

Now, she intends to spend an average of $30,000 on US education just because it is beneficial to her personally. But leaving a bill to a program meant for 'low income populations' when you have access to such amount required for International student fees

The VO feels that the US is being cheated or she is playing a fast one on the country. It is almost impossible to repay medicaid
.

The best bet is to renew her B1/B2 visa, just to take her chances (agreeing with you) through dropbox. If she is invited for an interview she can try to talk her way through it.

Anyways, she should try studying in Germany. They teach masters in English

That is the main point here.

No need to amend anything... They hardly ask for document.. Why do you want to visit the U.S, Are you married? Do you know what you do for work? Do you have travel history? how many kids are you blessed with? these are likely questions they will ask you and they are expert in reading body language. You don't need an agent. Good luck

Abaluntu, if your appointment time is 9am and you get there by 6 or 7am, you will not be checked in. You can expect to be checked in around 8:30am. My appointment was for 7:30am but wasn't checked in until around 7:15am. So, my advise is to plan to get there an hour before your appointment so you won't waste much time waiting to be checked in.

Thank you sir/ma. God bless.

Dear VO, I m planning to have a vacation in US with my wife. I ve filled ds-160 form. But my wife has an immigrant petition i-130 filed by her brother who is a citizen. Hope this can't be a setback for granting us visa.

Possible questions was one of the main reasons this thread was created. We call them 'transcripts'.
People post the questions they were asked. So please read back. Those transcripts are the likely questions. You can also start from part 1.

I can't tell you if you willl get the visa or not. But I can telll you why you shouldn't listen to the agent or use him for that matter
1. People with less ties than you have gotten vias. When I got mine I was earning much less than you and no kids.
2. Any document the agent will give u will be forged. That would mean you have to lie on your form. Peraventure u do not get the visa this time around, it becomes harder for u the next time cos your intergrity has been impunged.
2. As seye said, vos don't (well rarely) look at or base their desicions on documents. So imagine u creating a whole fabric of lies, paying an agent for a boatlod of crap documents that NOBODY will look at? And u pay the bagger? For which service? Please read the transcripts . All the ist timers always testify, 'none of my documents were checked' That may convince you if my epistle dosent.
3. Finally. He's an agent. What did you expect him to say? Guy you are ok. You don't need my services?
Go thru the thread from top to bottom. Fill your form well. Learn from the mistaks of others and don't join the 'Nigerian way' people.

My hubby is working with a company that supply and installed CCTV cameras. My hubby was nervous for his two appearance but the family appearance was my fault because the agent package me that am working with one company and when d VO asked me about where I was working I mistakenly mentioned my hubby place of work but we don't really known why my hubby was denied for the new orleans jazz festival. But now my hubby status still remain same but mine has changed because am a business woman( fabric store) also me and my hubby have a farm(poultry n fisheries) that we runs together now but we didn't included it on our DS160 our plan is to tell them on the day of our interview. we applied to go on vacation as a family to new York and we have made a reservation for an hotel where we will be staying for 10days.

Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by mamateniola1: 3:46pm On Jul 15, 2016
Did she /he take your passport? Or returned it. Read what's on that white paper very well.
Or do they change the color of their papers often?

Yes my passport was returned back to me with a white paper that has no clear reason why I was refused
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by mamateniola1: 4:11pm On Jul 15, 2016
Ohkk,. Loll. I was once denied with a white paper and later granted with a white paper, that's why I said you shld check well.
Anyways, I suggest you wait a while before you reapply and be sure your circumstances have changed.

You stand a chance of getting the visa this time but, You have to be very careful this time because your past information must tally with the present, to compare....but its good for you since you are now a business woman and you guys are into fabric store and poultry business, try to lay more emphasis on that business let the consular believe your job is so important to the extent of if you exceed that 10days you might suffer for it.

But the consular would have to really look into your DS-160 because he or she wants to know much about your past job and she might not even ask, vis a vis......

But please you don't need to be nervous.
Tell them more ties you have in Nigeria for you to come back ASAP.

You might be spending just 5-7mins but that time can make you happy or happy otherwise. So no fidgeting, stay calm, smile, and if u can't do that keep kissing your baby.

You will get it because it is your time to shine.

NOTE: don't waste your time and cash consulting an agent because during my time and my mom I personally filled the form, mom for it but I didn't because we went separately.

The only advice I have is for you to be truthful.
That means be truthful. If you lied the last time then your info MUST NOT tally.
You guys have been refused before with crappy lies you and your agent cooked up. That should tell you Those lies don't do much.
All those i Do bla bla for a living but I won't fill it but I'll talk it....I don't gerrit. Fill your form with what it is you actually do and not what you think the vo wants to hear.
The fact that you are looking for the better story to fill before you submit is not good because you are still clearly 'packaging'
Don't.

Welcome to part 2 of this thread, part 1 is now boggy and too long for newbies to read through. (Although the info there is priceless and Must/Ought to be read by any serious applicant.
For enquiries relating to likely interview questions and self evaluation, kindly go through both parts 1 and 2 of this thread so you have a fair knowledge of answers to such questions.

Kindly note that this is a do it yourself thread. Nobody here is an agent. Nobody is a VO, hence cannot authoritatively predict your chances of visa success .

Happy reading and good luck to all the honest visa seekers!

Please see part 1 here for reference:

Keep an open mind, go for the interview it might happen and it might not. Except you are planning on taking off (that is you have sold all your property and you wan run leave naija). If you get it fine if you don't you have next time to try your luck again. But one thing that can count is have you travelled before as a family?
