Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by cally26: 4:58pm On Feb 28, 2017 |
Good afternoon all. Please i need your advise on this. I wish to attend a 3 day conference in New york, and afterwards, visit my relatives in Texas for 5days (my duration of stay was indicated 8days in my form). I hope this will not be a problem for me on my interview i.e. indicating both conference and visiting on the same trip or should i just stick with CONFERENCE alone? would really love to use this opportunity to visit them, its been really long. |

Hello house, thanks for ur wonderful information here. my wife won visa lottery in 2011 and am her beneficiary and we went for interview in 2012 January but we were denied then. Now we want to apply for non immigrant visa to travel to usa soon for our wedding anniversary, my question now is: when ask if I have been denied visa before, am I going to fill yes or no? Remember, I am my wife beneficiary in the visa lottery and it is only my wife was interviewed then but we both submitted application and went for interview. Thanks. |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by FrontPageLawyer(m): 6:15pm On Feb 28, 2017 |
@makforex Your statement is confusing., but whether you attended the interview or not is inconsequensial. As long as an application was submitted and refused. Then it's a YES. |

Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by worry357: 6:22pm On Feb 28, 2017 |
makforex: I suggest honesty. Add a note stating the lottery refusal but make sure that your ties to prove return home are strong and your finances robust. The worst that can happen is a refusal. If you were to be caught lying then it could be a long ban. |

the primary purpose for the visa application is the conference. the secondary purpose is to visit family. mention both with well-detailed explanations for both. cally26: |

worry357:thanks for ur response, there is no need for lie for any reasons, some pple tell me that it is only my wife that should indicate refusal in her form not me, that is y I put it here for more clarification. I don't want to be misinterpreted. If I must indicate I was refused before no problem, I just want to be assure whether to indicate it or not thanks |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by smog1(m): 10:12pm On Feb 28, 2017 |
pls house, kindly advice. Hope choosing Chicago as place to visit and being the US murder capital doesn't reduces one's chance of getting a visa? And pls, we need transcripts to learn from, or people are not going for interview anymore? |

Good day wonderful people, i have been a silent reader of this thread and I commend you all for the advise, I went for the interview on the 22nd of February 2017 At Lagos but Was denied despite the fact I have all that was stated on the 214b paper I am 29yrs old lady married with a kid, work and earn 350k, I applied for visiting, the interview goes thus: Me.. Good morning Vo.. Good morning V. O.. . Where in US are you going Me.. ..Atlanta Georgia V. O.. ..purpose of going Me ..Visiting my brother who I have seen for 4yrs ago and his celebrating his 20th wedding anniversary Vo. .. Travel Experience Me.. Paris with my family on vacation Vo. . What do u do Me.. I am a banker , I work with bleep bleep bank That was all And I got a white paper of refusal Dear gurus in the house when u talk of ties which am I lacking here or something I didn't get right? PS my husband and I filled the form together with truth purpose plus hubby and I could not attend because his leave wasn't approved. How about reapplying in March since the20th wedding anniversary is April 15 plus my leave for this purpose has been approved ? |

HAPPY NEW MONTH TO YOU ALL All march applicants shall march into their success interview(AMEN) here I am again. this is a friend's transcript usual greetings BTW d 2 vo. where are you going in the state frnd. NY and plan to visit bla bla bla vo. where do you work frnd. ...teaching hospital as bla bla bla vo. how much do you earn frnd. i earn 166k but I do poultry biz as well that sum it to 275k which was filled on ds160. vo. are you married frnd. yes, happily married and bless with 3 kid and he said he mentioned their names and ages vo. I can see you have booked so so so hotel, how did you come across the hotel frnd. I got it through online. vo. sorry you bla bla bla Now @ the gurus in the house pls where does he get it wrong and what could have happen? he came to show me the hotel he booked from booking.com its $675, could it be that other hotel is cheap or what? ........the reason for this q is that I'm thinking may be I should cancel my appointment and apply with my wife and newly few month old baby as family. remember my wife was denied in ausg and sept on childbirth level. Now I'm thinking how can a man go on vacation alone without his family could that be the cause? The fear of 54,400 is now the beginning of wisdom. PLS HOUSE I'LL APPRECIATE YOUR SUGGESTION.

Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by seyewest(m): 10:43am On Mar 01, 2017 |
cheldas: To be honest sometimes people with ties are denied visit visa and most time the denial stem from lack of research,presentation and communication... If you keep changing what you want to do then you will lose focus. You should check your pros and cons against each other. Be honest with yourself. |

Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by KaptainAfrika: 12:14pm On Mar 01, 2017 |
1. The fact that your husband did not attend the interview, probably raised a red flag. The VO probably felt that you are trying to use your husband as a tie to your home country, and that he would attend another interview once you got your visa. 2. How did you brother move to the US? If he illegally entered the US, that too could be a red flag. 3. The VO probably is concerned about the welfare of your kid, who will take care of him/her when you are gone? 4. It could also be that the VO does not feel the purpose of the trip, is necessary. How about you say you are representing the family from Nigeria, since all the family can't attend the wedding anniversary - this is an example, simply state the truth but more detailed. All the best. ruth87: |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by cally26: 12:17pm On Mar 01, 2017 |
Hello guys, I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone here, I learnt so much from this thread. Here is my transcript for a successful interview today. VO: Good morning, how are you? Me: Good morning, i am well. VO: where are you visiting in the US? Me: New York, for a conference. VO: You work at ***** as a doctor right? Me: Yes please, and I also own my own company, 2 years old with a staff strength of 5. VO: what is ******(a professional question) Me: (Smashed her pretty face with an answer) VO: Why do you have to go for this conference now? Me: It is vital for my practice because there will be amazing lectures and clinical workshops, and vital for my company because my supplier will be exhibiting and company's presence there is extremely vital. VO: Are you travelling alone? Me: Yes I am, but my brother in law, a doctor too, practising in Texas will be attending too. So I travel alone, but I will not be alone. VO: Are you married? Me: No please. VO: travelled before? Me: No please. VO: OK, I am going to give you a visa. But you may have to answer some questions at the POE, but don't worry, that's just because you have a relation with same profession in the US who may set you up there and you may not come back. Just be truthful and make sure your intentions are true. Me: No problem ma'am. Thanks for the heads up. These people where sharing blue paper like bread today. I guess my confidence helped me there cos am used to seeing a lot of white patients everyday. Wasn't jittery or nervous at all. No documents checked at all. Confidence and honesty pays. Once again, thank you all. 11 Likes 1 Share |

KaptainAfrika: sorry to quote,.. so you mean a married woman can't travel without her husband and let the husband take care of the kids ?. looking at what she say, the VO have already rule her case before the interview start.. truth to be say some VO are not fair with good traveling experience and tie they will refuse you without no mistake on your side |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by KaptainAfrika: 3:30pm On Mar 01, 2017 |
Remember these VO's are human and have their bias. Anything could have led to the refusal, I am only giving my own opinion. def111: |
