nefertitiram:


Thanks a lot my sister for your kind and swift advise.

Gracias

As you have explained to us here, explain to the visa officer.
It is not unusual to pay for a conference until after getting the visa. It ia like saying you want to pay Hosp bills before getting a visa. It can swing both ways and the visa officers know this.

Regarding CBP and POE and payment onsite, you can print out the conference conditions worst thing, they will call the conference organizers.

Another thing, make sure you distinctively state the purpose of your trip. A conference is different from a training.

As per ds160, your company is sponsoring the trip, you can explain the dynamics and level of sponsorship at the interview

BTA comes from a business account,PTA from personal account, its supposed to be $5k max but this one wey dollar no even de sef. Na to hold anything he can lay his hands on

optimusprime2:

Yes, I have explored that possibility once. But it would be best to do that if your clearance to stay in the US from the POE is longer than 3weeks.
Some Canadian embassies would typically take 14 days to issue a TRV, depends on how busy they are, while some may take hrs- a friend of mine was given his at Detroit the same day he applied.
So it's very possible.

seyewest:
567k but 435k if you break it down.

mayay:


Please, what do you mean? Break it down?

seyewest:

Has the draft been signed into law or this is still the leaked version?

Clearly, this is a question coming from a studious person (you did follow and read the contents - till that Section 8 - of the available links and extras). In my understanding, this is yet but a draft though likely headed towards happening, but it is yet a draft. Twood's re-echoing may just be out of conviction. Greetings Sis....

Hello Everyone,

Please I need your advice.

My mom is going for her interview in a weeks's time. but we just noticed an error in her form. My Dad's "DAY" of birth was wrongly put for e.g instead of 5th of jan.. my sister filled 6th.

My question is-- can she mention it to the VO on the day of her interview to be corrected (or should she just not mention it)? does she need to fill another form or how can we go about correcting it before her interview?


Will this affect my Dad when he decides to apply later in the year? Please note it is just the 'DAY' of birth that is wrong, every other thing is correct.

your kind advice will be appreciated.

Thanks

.... I beat him to his game!. I suspect that he was either trying to follow me to my destination to know where I was staying or he was probably working for the police who had stopped to search me earlier. Outside the embassy, I saw a friend of mine who asked me if my visa application was successful and I said yes. It's probable that this tout heard and started following me.

Burger01:
Oga Proddey, you were just paranoid

Hello House please I will like you to advise me on this, I got a family US visa and d ticket is so cost, on DS 160 form we said we are going to HOUSTON Texas but getting a ticket to New York is cheapest for now. My question is can I book a train ticket to show at the POE as our domestic ticket to HOUSTON. Or what can I do.

Except the federal government takes a proactive visa policy review, Nigerians will no longer be issued with American entry visas which have two-year validity following the Executive Order signed on Friday by President Donald Trump, TheCable can report.

Also, Nigerians who hold dual nationality will be affected if their other passport is from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen — the seven Muslim-majority countries “of concern”.

A lot of attention has been on the temporary visa ban on citizens of the seven Muslim-majority countries, but the impact on Nigerians is far more than previously thought.

An analysis of the Executive Order by TheCable editors shows that at least two sections will affect Nigerians directly.

Nigeria currently only issues one-year multiple-entry visa to Americans, which is a non-reciprocation of the two-year visa the country issues to Nigerians.

Section 9 of the Executive Order states: “The Secretary of State shall review all nonimmigrant visa reciprocity agreements to ensure that they are, with respect to each visa classification, truly reciprocal insofar as practicable with respect to validity period and fees, as required by sections 221(c) and 281 of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1201(c) and 1351, and other treatment. If a country does not treat United States nationals seeking nonimmigrant visas in a reciprocal manner, the Secretary of State shall adjust the visa validity period, fee schedule, or other treatment to match the treatment of United States nationals by the foreign country, to the extent practicable…”

By this provision, except the federal government quickly moves to extend the validity of Nigerian visa to Americans, Nigerians too will be issued with one-year visas.

Given that the Trump order takes immediate effect, Nigerians holding valid two-year US visa are most likely going to be affected.

Nigeria is also not reciprocating the fees charged by the American government — despite shorter visa validity.

While the US charges Nigerians $160 for a typical visit visa, Nigeria charges $180, in addition to a $35 “processing fee”.

The section on dual nationality involving seven Muslim-majority countries is not expected to affect a significant number of Nigerians because a second citizenship of Syria, Iraq, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen is not common.

Many Nigerians, including government officials, hold dual nationality with either the US or Europe.

However, Nigerians who have been to Syria, Iraq, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen in recent times may be subjected to extra immigration control with possible deportation.
