No one can tell you what your chances are but one thing I do advocate is that you should be honest with your answer and be positive... let your vibe and your reason for traveling to the U.S be good enough and you have a tie back home which means you must return home after the trip.

Thanks for taking ur time to answer my questions.

I Really appreciate your response to my question. To be honest my hidden agenda is to get there and never come back until i have my papers complete. Since you said i have some great points, what are the necessary tips needed to achieve my aim........thanks bro!

Lolz! An example/ one disadvantage of not reading a thread before just writing. But if this was almost clear to me from the stats you already dropped so far, how on earth are you going to get past a VO? Like a Carmel passing through the eye of a needle though. Your "ungreat" points are plentier and more weighty than your great points IMO.

If your wife - assuming the info you gave was correct - were to be the one faced with your situation, she would have been in a better position of getting the visa compared to you. You have a US citizen dad, you are still very upwardly mobile, have no travel history to prove the extra normal in your peculiar case, haven't even reached that threshold in the civil service where a VO will be comfortable with your job and your inability to abandon same at the slightest opportunity. A woman too will not easily abandon kids and hubby compared to a man. Good luck

DmayG1:
Good day house I apply for b1/b2 with my mum to visit my uncle whc is my mum nephew, our interview is this Friday 5th Aug, I'll like to know if I need any other docs aside from the normal ones... 1) Am a graduate and work with mum's company whc deals majorly in transportation, general contracts and merchandise (2) am single but will be getting marry in November and will like to do some shopping in us for my wedding, some said I should indicate during the interview while some said I shouldn't (3) Is it advisable to go along with wedding IV or I shouldn't? Your experience and contribution will be highly needed here.

#OneOff! Just in case nobody is telling you, it is almost the same rope that is roping you and Boluoyinbo, though your situation seems better. All these getting married soon, by force IV carrying situation to an interview and working in my mum's company format has expiry dates. Your mum might get the visa while you are denied though. All hope isn't lost all the same.

With the way you're going about this issue I guess the marriage is a lie.. you're on your own.

@ OMOBENDEL 24, I Really appreciate your honest response thank you God bless!

He he he he! Glad you are learning the tricks. Any question couched, decorated in any form that requires profiling is basically asking for chances of success. And potentially seeking to 'upgrade' the story.

Do whatever you want to. The truth is that mentioning that you are getting married does not in any way count as a tie. That is what he's telling you. Its either you are married or not.
Read the transcripts and you can see how others said theirs

I wish you could read the 2. Bolded comments objectively. If you feel you do not have strong ties eh, which ideas are you seeking then? If you don't have it, then any idea given to you would be misrepresentation and that's not what this thread is about.
If you already have concerns about your ties, then do not apply. Wait until those concerns are resolved

Hmmmm @seyewest truth be told na BIG lie oooo, I decided to attach the story when I heard my cousin story cos she applied with her mum, her mum was granted but she was denied cos she's single. Our story is the same cos we all applied together .

See me see oh @LadyG! It is very well oooo

It has been said here,time without number that there is no need for that.
I wonder why we find it difficult to read back?No wonder its once said that,if u wanna keep anything away from a typical african man as secret,ensure u keep it inside a book,cos it wil never check to read.The secret of what u are asking is here already.
Do yourself a favour by booking an hotel instead of IV frm USA galfrnd.

I learnt something of note today

Btw, it sucks when some peeps find it so herculean a task to simply read some pages back before they dropped their 'already dealt' with questions. So annoying and a complete rip off

yes they may want to see it.

Is it really important you wear your wedding ring to interview?

No one will be interested, it could be brass ring N500 from the market.
You will need better proof that you will return than a ring.

Hello House,

In 2013, I was issued a 2 year visa. At the time, I was supposed to attend a training program in the USA funded by my organization (a federal agency) but the the training was cancelled after the visa was issued. I had no travel plans at the time and the visa eventually expired in 2015 (I didn't visit the USA before the expiry).

Fast forward to 2016, I now plan on making a trip to the USA with my wife (we have two kids who won't be traveling with us). My questions are:

- Will the fact that I did not use the previous visa affect my planned application?
- Do we apply as a couple or separately (considering the fact that I may be eligible to use the drop box option)?

Do you consider Benin stamp as been part of travelling history?if yes,go wit it.But IMO I didn't see any weight in it.Even Ghana. Stamp is tatamount to nothing.With 1500naira u can frm Lagos enter Benin Republic wch VOs are aware of.
What really counts are ur ties back home
