Hello mariam99ng. We don't discuss specific cases on this thread. In general, we can say that birth tourism is legal, provided the applicant is open about their intent and able to pay their medical expenses in full. Many applicants are able to satisfy these requirements successfully. Another proportion of applicants are not successful for one reason or another. One quality that all applicants must satisfy is credibility. Lack of honesty can permanently impact one's credibility, overriding whatever financial resources, country ties or travel history they can present. mariam99ng: |

Hello RangoTango5678. This is a matter best explained in an interview setting. I would advise you and your wife to schedule an interview for renewal rather than using the dropbox method. RangoTango5678: |

Hello JonJon2017. The information is freely available and rarely changes: http://www.ustraveldocs.com/ng/ If more granular issues remain unclear, this forum and others are available to get clarity. If one is unaware of the terms and conditions, it's because they have not bothered to look. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. JonJon2017: |

So now myself and my mum want to apply for a B1/B2 visa(Pls note my mum has never apply for a US visa before). My question is 1. How do we process it together because I want us to appear together 2.

Good day officer, Please you always stress that the burden of proof is on the applicant yet you never give us time to demonstrate our ties. It seems you already take decisions before the interview itself and the outcome of the interview has no significance on approval or refusal of visa applications. Secondly, please do you derive pleasure in refusing applicants? Thanks |

Hello ItzTiffany. In a recent posting on another thread, you asked if you could present a friend's bank statements as your own in support of a student visa application. It's that kind of disregard for the truth that is likely to lead to rejections at the visa window rather than any preconceived notion on the interviewer's part. If you want to know what we're thinking as we do our job, this article is illustrative: http://usembassynigeria..com.ng/2016/03/non-immigrant-visas-consular-officers.html ItzTiffany: 1 Like |

Hello stere117. While we often say that documents are not necessary, it is generally a good idea to bring along any older passports. stere117: |

hello VO A friend of mine went for her visa interview today and was denied. Reason being that the officer said he has never heard of the NCLEX examination for nurses as she stated this as her reason for travelling. she has this exam scheduled for 29th of April. Despite her explanations, she was denied and given a yellow paper. she said she was asked 2 questions, what she does for a living and her reason for traveling but the officer said he has not heard of this exam before. please, kindly advise on what she should do at this point as she has already registered and paid for this exam and how soon she can reapply. thank you. |

Dear VO, My husband is a Green card holder, he came home January and we got married. I am third year medical student he applied for a b2visa for me My question is 1. The tie that I have back home here is my mum, my Siblings and my first professional exam by August this year. Is this enough? 2. My purpose for visiting is basically for vacation, but I will be using the opportunity to check colleges and medical school that I will apply to next year when my husband will become a citizen and I will apply as a transfer student. My question is should I tell them at the interview my plan for checking schools? 3. Do I need to take our wedding certificate and photo album for the interview? |
Re: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening by abujaniv: 6:38pm On Feb 21, 2017 |
Hello LOT111. Someone who is a greencard holder is a "lawful permanent resident" of the United States. So I'm not sure what you mean by saying your husband "came home." A person with an LPR spouse necessarily has strong ties to the US, which means it can be difficult --but not impossible-- to qualify for a non-immigrant visa. You should be honest and straightforward at the interview. LOT111: |

Re: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening by favoured01: 1:03pm On Feb 22, 2017 |
Hello VO, I have been refused a U.S visa for about 4 times of which I'm uncertain of the reason for the rejections. The last time in 2013, I was barely asked 3 questions and the consular looked at me once and then was on the computer the remaining time. So I'm not sure what the problem is exactly. My sister who is a permanent resident is getting married this year and I would love to attend with my fiance(His previous visa is expired). So my questions are 1) Can the both of us( My fiance and I) apply together/attend the interview together with the same IV letter from my sister ? 2) I just started a new job this year and don't have much in my salary account, although I have some savings from my previous employment. My entire family all have visas and will be present at the wedding. Can you help with the questions? Thank you so much |

Re: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening by manlogic: 5:33pm On Feb 22, 2017 |
Dear VO, My family applied and secured a B1/B2 visa sometimes last year and was supposed to travel to Florida during the last summer holidays. However, due to work exigencies, we were unable to make the trip as planned but we still have our tickets in place for the trip during the next summer. About a month after securing our visas, I became pregnant and due to the complications experienced during my last pregnancy, we decided to have the baby in the US. To this end, we have contacted a doctor and hospital and they have agreed to accept me for the delivery (have doctor/hospital correspondences). We have the financial means to defray all the associated cost without recourse to public fund. A friend advised that we write the embassy for that purpose, which we have done but there was no response to our mail. I want to know if I can go ahead or if I need to apply for a different (medical) visa before leaving Nigeria. My current visa is still valid till 2018. Please kindly advice as we don't want to run foul of the law or abuse the privileges of our visa. Thank you. |

There are a lot of unsubstantiated reports going around. It's best to wait and watch what direction comes from Washington. In any case, it has little to do with the comings and goings of bonafide tourists from Nigeria. lansha2006: 1 Like |

Hello manlogic. Birth tourism is legal and allowed, provided the applicant is open about their intention and able to pay the medical expenses in full. If the purpose and duration of travel deviate from that described at the interview and in the application, it invites closer scrutiny. Writing a change of intent letter after the fact doesn't accomplish anything. Though not required, some applicants choose to renew their visa early so as to explain their birth intent at the visa interview. manlogic: |
