Hello Halaphilip, If she answered "no" to a question when the true answer was "yes", then yes, it was the incorrect response. The screenshot refers to Immigrant Visas, and your sister was applying for a non-immigrant visa. We are not going to comment on why someone's visa was refused. Regards, Abuja NIV halaphilip: |

Hello Sir /Ma'am I am about receiving my i20 and I need to know something. Due to a failure in my Father's business I couldn't go to school early, now this year makes it six years plus some months that I haven't gone to School and I have been accepted to study for my Bachelor's in the US. Would I in any way face any difficulty? And for your extra information my Uncle is the one sponsoring my education. Also, I am a Cameroonian but I grew up here in Nigeria, legally because my mom is a Nigerian. Am I going to be able to apply for a Visa in Nigeria? Also do I need extra documents as I am using my Cameroonian Passport? Yours Truly,.. Airich01. |

Re: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening by halaphilip: 7:25pm On Oct 04, 2016 |
abujaniv: Thanks. To be more direct, should the answer then be YES? In this case, she is my blood sister and she's applying for a non-immigrant visa |

Hello Airich01, We won't give odds on getting a visa. We can say that older students do get approved for visas, but every applicant is evaluated on a variety of factors. You can apply with your Cameroonian passport in Nigeria, and you do not need any additional documents. You would have to pay a reciprocity fee if the fee charged by Cameroon for visas is greater than in Nigeria. You can look that information up here: https://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/fees/reciprocity-by-country.html Regards, Abuja NIV Airich01: |

Good day house. Please I want you guys to help me have a better understanding on this issue, I've applied initially for visa with the married status and skipped the interview, because I booked appointment for myself alone and intended to go for annual vacation. I intend to pay for another visa fees to restart the application, only this time with a single status, since I am traveling alone. My question is, will the initial information won't still be on record, since I didn't go for the interview and did not thumb print. Secondly-I have an uncle in New York, but I want to book for hotel reservation against where I will be staying in d same new York. While I use his informations as contact person, I also want to know if this won't trigger an eye brow... ![]() I sincerely need your expertise to throw more light into it. Thanks : |

Hello VO, Please i am asking this question on behalf of a friend. He and his wife with their two children applied for a B1/B2 Visa in June this year and was denied. The V/O that interviewed them said the state that they were travelling to that Americans don't go there. They were scared as it was their first time of travelling to the USA having travelled as family and they have travelled to the UK three times. Can they reapply? |
Re: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening by Horlopz(m): 8:25pm On Oct 06, 2016 |
Hello VO, Please I want to confirm if it is necessary one is over 18 before one will be allowed into the embassy? In other words, I am 17, can I decide to go on my own the day of my interview. Thanks. Lagosniv. Abujaniv. |

I intend to visit a church in the US that wants to set up a Christian mission outreach in Nigeria through me. Do I need to apply for B2 visa only or is there another type of visa for such visit? |

Hello, I was issued a B1/B2 visa in June 2015 and i used the visa when i was 4 months pregnant for a 2 week vacation in August 2016. Since the visa was issued for tourism purpose, do i need to write a letter to the embassy for change of intent since i intend to have my baby in the US? AbujaNIV |

Good Day, Please am hoping you would be able to make this clearer: I have a sibling who has a green card and is married to a Citizen of the US. However my sibling has a job in Nigeria and stays longer here. So in answer to the question "Do you have immediate family members in the US"? Is this question by Status or by Current location? Thanks a lot for the help. |

good day VO, I got a B1/B2 visa that has expired and i want to renew it via the dropbox service. After filling my DS160,and made payment. Trying to book appoitment but i logged in with my old profile for the previous visa. i noticed i cannot change my passport number as my old passport expired in 2015. what do you advice? My D160 carries my new passport nos so also payment confirmation. Should i just go ahead with the appointment using the old expired passport but submit both passports at the dropbox center? thank you for your response. |
Re: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening by BelieveAndrew(m): 10:20am On Oct 08, 2016 |
Great NL, I had an interview skipped because of a mistake made in my DS-160 form earlier this year, I still have the same visa fees . I want to know if I can still use the same visa fees on a brand new DS-160, and if the information provided in the latter won't be an issue. I also have an uncle in NY, but want to stay in an hotel during my stay in US, can I still use his name on my contact person? |

Re: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening by ilymoa: 12:12pm On Oct 09, 2016 |
Hello AbujaNIV, Thanks for all you feedback here. It has helped a lot of people. Please let me state in advance that this will be a lengthy one. I have two questions which are regarding the situation myself and my wife currently face. My wife went to the united states on a B1/B2 visa to write some exams and we also decided to have our baby over there with full intention of paying the medical bills ( This was not her first trip). We registered in a hospital and paid up all our medical bills as charged during ante-natal with no outstanding. When the time for delivery came, she went into labour and due to some complications at birth, she was rushed into the emergency operating room after over 12hrs of labour for an emergency Cesarean section. After delivery, the baby had some medical complications and was transferred to a specialist teaching hospital and placed in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) for over 2weeks because of the severity. At this point, the hospital hospital financial coordinator informed us that due to the nature of my wife's delivery which is categorised as emergency, she could be given emergency medicaid (NB: We planned on sorting our bills ourselves as evident by no defaulting on the ante-natal charge). At this point we thought it was a normal process in the case of an emergency and we accepted. Medicaid was extended to the baby as a resident of the state and U.S citizen also. My first question is this, I am beginning to hear and discover that the emergency medicaid extended to the mother can be interpreted as her being a "PUBLIC CHARGE" and can be grounds for visa refusal when she wants to renew and even if she gets the visa, she could be denied entry by border control and immigration. Even though according to USCIS public charge factsheet - https://www.uscis.gov/news/fact-sheets/public-charge-fact-sheet - getting Medicaid for emergency medical services and Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) are grounds for one not to be considered a public charge. We are still willing to be pay the bill if this is not the case and immigration wants us to pay the bills ourselves. My second question; Due to the baby's extended stay in the hospital, we couldn't get his visa on time and it only came out on the last day of the mother's valid stay in the United States (we have all the papers to prove this). She had to change her ticket date and overstayed by 10days (the earliest flying date available on the airline). How do we explain this to the VO to understand the situation. Just to point out, I am asking these questions because our baby's birth complication requires him to have follow-up appointments with some specialist doctors in the hospital where he was placed in intensive care after some months regularly until he is 18 - 24months old. That is why getting his mother's visa renewed is very important to us. Thank you very much and I await your response. Best regards. |
