Hello Saint316, A consular officer reviews each application individually at the interview. Adult applicants should be prepared to meet with a consular officer on their own, be able to state the purpose of the trip, and specify their family and employment ties which would compel them to depart the United States after a brief stay. Regards, Abuja NIV Saint316: |

Hi VO, I am a current student in the U.S. I plan to renew my Visa in the coming December month in Nigeria. sometime in 2013 when Nigeria was still eligible, I applied for the Diversity Visa lottery, although I did not win. Do you think that will affect the outcome of my F-1 visa interview? |

Hello VO, I think VOs are not been fair with the way they treat visa applicant whom they see as he or she will not return back to Nigeria. Take my case for an example, am younger than my age, most people don't believe my age when I tell them. So, because am young and I have never travel out of the country the VO that interview me today concluded that I might not return to my beloved country, Nigeria even though I have a good job and work with group of highly professional young guys. Please I am using this medium to appeal to you, the VO to please be lenient with the way you come to conclusion about visa applicant intent. Thank you. |

Good day Abujaniv.Please I have two disturbing issues about my ds-160.when filling my employer details,i mistakenly added a double "Ss" in between the spelling of my company's name instead of one "s" but I spelt it correctly when I was told to briefly explain my job. Please I hope am not gonna have any problem because of that? All other information was filled in correctly. Secondly I used 3rd of October as my intended date of arrival but wen I booked the appointment to my astonishment it's was 25th of October that was available. Please i want to know if am not having a problem due to the fact that the intended arrival date and the date of appointment are not correlating Anticipating for your reply . Thanks |

Hello Nairadeen, Consular officers weigh multiple factors when determining if an applicant qualifies for a non-immigrant visa. Prior travel is only one of many factors considered when making the decision. Age itself is not a factor, as applicants of all ages receive non-immigrant visas. Regards, Abuja NIV nairadeen: |

Many Thanks LagosNIV & AbujaNIV for your commitments in answering many questions of Visa seekers. Please, i wanna know what category or status does a non-immigrant who wishes to visit the U.S to get training as a Missionary or an Instructor on alternative esoteric Spirituality fall under? This is however not the conventional or orthodox kind of religious training. From my research on USCIS website, i found the R- religious worker status and the H-3( trainee or special education visitor in a program not primarily for employment) and i am wondering which status fits best. I really need to get the best advise from you guys so i can also inform the institution that is ganna file the petition for me. Thank you very much once again LagosNIV. Expecting your response. |

Hello antoluk, F-1 applicants must be able to explain to the consular officer that they are a qualified student, can afford the program of study, and comply with all aspects of U.S. immigration law. Applicants should always be truthful and forthcoming with Consular and Immigration officials regarding past visa applications, and be able to show that they do not intend to immigrate to the U.S. Regards, Abuja NIV antoluk: |

Dear AbujaNIV, Good job you rendering here. Thumbs up! Please i need your assistance. I am trying to schedule an appointment today after submitting my DS-160 form but after clicking through all the applicable steps in the "schedule appointment" webpage, i was expecting it to bring up available dates for me to choose, but to my utmost surprise i saw a "Dropbox Confirmation Letter" icon display on my screen. I don't know how that came about as i am not qualified for a dropbox application. I am a returning applicant trying to schedule a new appointment. Please how can i cancel the dropbox appointment and schedule an interview date appointment as soon as possible. Thanks for your anticipated response. |

Thank you for responding to my concerns about the technical issues experienced with completing the DS-160. I finally was able to submit and got my DS 160 Confirmation page however I only filled my First name and Surname on my appointment confirmation page as requested in the form. I filled both my First name and Second name in addition to my surname in the DS-160 (because was asked for Surname and Given Names), as it appears on my passport. I have tried to log to the ustravel.doc to include my Middle name so an appointment confirmation carrying all of my names as exactly in my passport can be regenerated but not possible. Can you advise as to whether I would be allowed interview with my appointment confirmation showing just my First name and Surname? Thanks |
Re: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening by abujaniv: 11:36am On Sep 30, 2016 |
Hello askary, Please make sure to bring your confirmation page, ID, passport, and all required documents to your interview. You should be fine so long as the first and last names are correct. Regards, Abuja NIV askary: |

Hello, I recently applied for visa via drop box (Lagos consulate)and was told to come pick up my passport. Upon doing that,I was not issued a visa just a white paper print out ticking a box that explained that I will need to do a follow up interview under the 221G category.I called after that and was told to scan and send my passport page and the print out. I was also told that I will receive a reply within 48 hours. I haven't gotten a reply yet and I don't know how to go about this. Confused state right now. Pls assist. 1 Like |

God afternoom VO; When b1/b2 visa expired; I had a 2months extension approval from USCIS; i am back in nigeria and want to do a dropbox now...i have all my documents including the notice of approval. Can i still apply via drop box system? Rgds Jemin456 |
Re: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening by ffl07join14: 9:51pm On Sep 30, 2016 |
Hello VO, I applied for b1/b2 visa from Accra and was denied.I am to attend a conference. The conference organizers contacted the embassy afterwards and advised I reapply which I did but was denied again stating that strong ties. Although I had letters from my employer(government agency) stating my intention and supporting my travel which will build capacity for the agency. I am young adult not married. I think was denied because the officer thinks I don't have strong ties as per the US definitions. I think if I have the opportunity to attend the conference, the knowledge transfer in championing green initiatives will go a long way in helping my country. Thanks. God bless The United States of America |

Hello VO, My H-1B petition was approved and I plan to come for H-1B visa stamping in December 2016. I would be getting married before appearing for the visa interview with my spouse (H4). We are filling out our visa application (DS-160) forms now to allow enough time to secure a visa interview appointment in December. My question is- Would it be appropriate to apply as "married" on the DS-160, since we would be married by the time of the visa interview OR Can we ONLY use our marital status as at the time of filing the visa application? If the latter is the case, would we qualify for an expedited visa appointment, considering that I would need to return my job two weeks after marriage. Please advise. Thank you. |

My sister whom I invited to the US was denied a non-immigrant visa two weeks ago. I'd just gone through her visa forms now and there's a section I'm not quite clear if she answered properly. To the question: "do you have any immediate relatives, not including parents, in the US ", she answered NO. Is this the right response? I want to reapply for her and I am wondering if this is one of the reasons she was denied. The definition of immediate relative I got online seems to suggest she was right but I want to be sure. 1 Like
