Nice one. Congrats @ Temibrown1

My questions are :

Did you fill the previous information the Mr USA filled inside? (Your wife working as. Stock broker) and other misinterpretations?

I have been a silent reader, you guys are doing a good job here.i have applied for US visa twice the first time I applied I was still single,I applied again when I got married I was denied now I have a 4month old child and my company want me to represent them in a conference coming up next year. What are my chances?
No one can predict your chances but this is my take; Do you have any recent travel history? Your company should be able to provide a letter on your behalf and also how you fill your DS160 form is important to if you will be issue a visa or not.

Morning everyone , actually I'm very new on this page and joined nairaland like some days ago. But I will like to ask or know if anyone is still following this thread or how does it work because I see people not contributing again or following !!!
I said that because I did not see a reply to my question till the date of my interview and till now that im writing back here.
Despite all I will like to share my experience here!!! Thanks you lord . Hope you have a lesson to pick and thanks for reading. Oh Note : ..... when I was filling the form. I click yes at my journey plan which a lot of people will say no buh that was the question I'm trying to ask on this thread buh no1 answer me .

Congrats... it is very wrong for you to say that no one answered you.. I answered you twice and LadyG did once I think the problem is you did not go through the thread thoroughly.

it means nothing it shows that you're the only left for 10:15am ( if the space allotted for 10:15am is for 10 ppl and 9 ppl have chosen 10:15am the remaining 1 space is what you see)

Good day house, i did dropbox renewal on Teusday(13/12/2016) for my kids and the visa status check is showing Ready, does it mean is ready for pick up as dhl office. Thanks.

Your case is only ready for to be treated. It moves next to "ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSING", and ends hopefully at "ISSUED".

And I can tell you authoritatively that the VO on the other thread, for the first time maybe, got the answer to that question wrong (probably wasn't in top form understanding your question methinks). Great day!

It becomes a little bit confusing here. It ought to have changed to "ISSUED" if there weren't issues.

Well, I see you have been a lot worried, i doubt if I would be wrong about my following assumptions though, it seems you have been called for an interview now despite your hope against such. Check your email, also log into the ceac website to read their message to you. Your passport should be at DHL with an interview letter accompanying! Go get, and face your interview successfully. All the best!

N.B: You may have to either tell us now what your worries are or do so later. Did you overstay, did you birth in the US, did you have issues with the US immigration or police or law enforcement agencies generally, etc?

Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by KaptainAfrika: 10:24am On Dec 16, 2016
I.M.H.O
1. Apply as a tourist, fill your form truthfully (especially with your cousin), if they give you fine, if they don't fine.
2. Saying that you are going for a conference, will invite scrutiny and you will be grilled.
3. So long as your cousin is in the US legally, no probs, and he is even in the military (Americans love their military, it could be to your advantage).
My opinion.

ziggy3579:
Good morning everyone, please which website can I register for a conference(agriculture related).
my cousin is the US navy and he wants to send me an invite for tourism but I feel if I go through a conference it will be better cos am single (25 next year)hence the ties are shaky but I have a well paying job, over ten thousand dollars in my acct($10,000) and close to a million in my naira acct. Studied agriculture and I work as a sales and marketing manager of my firm.
Which of the two options is better considering my age and other factors
Gurus please help review matter, thanks

hello house, my brother is married to an american citizen, the wife invited me to attend their anniversary, but my brother's permanent residency papers will be ready after the anniversary hopefully (just a projection) .

my question is; is this reason for visiting the united state tenable enough in the VO thinking and past testimony?

wont my brother's status work against me?

i know you are not the VO but what are my chances?

i work with government and earn about 200k plus a moth

i welcome a critical analysis from concerned members, thanks.
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by KaptainAfrika: 5:50pm On Dec 16, 2016
1. Did your brother enter the US legally and for the purposes stated in his form and interview.

2. What do you mean by past testimony, have you applied before?

3. A man once told the VO that he wanted to see the snow in the US, and was given the visa (I'm sure he said other things), so its a matter of luck.

4. I'm not a V.O but even I don't think you have a chance, no hard feelings; what are your ties to Nigeria anyway?

@the bolded; hopefully, your brother isn't beating the system to do this, right? If he is, just forget about US visa pursuit with him in the mix for now oh. Regards

Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by merryberry(f): 12:56am On Dec 17, 2016
Good morning Nairalanders! I'm posting this at this hour because this is the time I have finally gotten time to myself. It has been a hectic day! I have read this thread over and over and I may have asked a few questions 3 years ago. This place I must say had very insightful information. Very proud of what you guys are doing and welldone.
First off let me start with my profile

I am 26year old lady.
First degree in the UK
Works at one of the Big 4 consulting Firms
Refused visa to the US twice (First time when I was about 10, second time in 2011 when I was studying in the UK)
Parents are American Citizens now.( just got their citizenship last year )
Big brother is an American by work
I don't have an immigrant petition
I was at the embassy today (16th) for my visa interview and the questions asked were not the ones I prepared for as per the frequent ones that appear here on nairaland.
The interview is as follows

Vo: Your Passport pls
Me: pass my passport
Vo: why are you going to America
Me: to spend Christmas with my parents and brother
Vo: your brother? I he a US citizen?
Me: yes he is
Vo: how did he get his citizenship
Me: through work
Vo: oh ok he got h1 blah blah
Me: I'm not sure exactly what visa category it was or he transitioned to
Vo: so you work as an accountant
Me : (correcting him) auditor
Vo: asks a lot of accounting questions I answer
Vo: how is it working in your company
Me: very stressful the job is demanding but you learn a lot.
Vo: so have you thought of applying to one of the offices in the US since your company has presence there
Me : no I haven't thought of doing that and I don't intend to
Vo: I'm going to issue you your visa
Hands me white paper.
My transcript is this long because I really want people to learn from it. I honestly know it's God's favour. I mean look at my profile. Infact my interview date was so close to my travel date, did interview 16th, intending to travel on the 21/22. Thank you everyone that has contributed meaningfully to this thread with questions and answers, helping to provide insights. Anyways I wish you guys the best and happy holidays.
Let me go and spend Christmas with my parents. I would be back!❤️❤️❤️

Congratulations the law...where did you have your interview, Lagos or Abuja?

Enjoy your trip to California.

I guess the uncle's invitation also has an influence.

Are you an adult? If yes. You will apply and be interviewed alone.
No. Your brother will not be allowed into the embassy because he has no business there.
It might help if you scanned through the US embassy website. All the info you need is there.

Thanks I appreciate
