Hey guys. I am studying in the US and my parents woild like to visit me. Please I would like to know if I can pay for their visa applications from here or do they have to go pay at GTB in Nigeria? Also, can we schedule an interview for 2 so they do it same time and place? Thank you. |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by CamenLuna: 11:08am On Mar 23, 2017 |
CamenLuna: Thanks LadyGuinivere for your response. After expenses, my income is usually between 180k to 200k depending on how business is in a particular month and sometimes more or less. My concern is this: i usually don't pay any specific amount to myself as salary at the end of each month. if i state this as my salary, how do i explain that since it doesn't reflect in my personal account statement. Will this be regarded as dishonesty if i use my company as my employer and state this figure as salary. if yes what then should i feel in employment status. Please help. i have filled out the form but yet to submit and my interview is nest week. Thanks in advance. |

CamenLuna:You are a Businessman, self employed by your own company. Your profit is your income. Statements Are not checked |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by Nobody: 12:39pm On Mar 23, 2017 |
LadyGuinivere: Income and profit are two different things...if you are asked your income you expected to tell the exact total sales you make in a particular business without deducting expenses. Profit is what you make after your expenseses / expenditure is being deducted from your annual income or monthly income. This Vo's don't know everything about you so you are meant to explain to them and make them understand. You can decide to say your income monthly or quarterly depending on the trend of your business activities. 1 Like |

Classified60: Thanks Classified60 and LadyGuinivere. So i shouldn't state any salary on the Ds-160 form then and do the explanation when asked instead. Or i should state my income as salary there and still explain when asked. Thanks again for your time. |

Hi all, Am actually new here and seriously need some advice concerning my intended trip to the US. I travelled in 2013 for a conference with a 2years b1/b2 business/conference visa. Afterwards,i renewed it in 2015 through drop-box and they gave me another 2years but i did not travel due to the workload in my company at that time. My visa expired in this month of march 2017 and i decided to renew it to enable me attend this year's conference of which i have been issued another 2years visa. The issue now is that i am pregnant and am suppose to give birth after the conference. so i am planning for the conference and delivery when i travel but at the same time am afraid hearing all manner of things that happens at the US point of entry. What are my chances? Please helppp! |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by worry357: 1:31pm On Mar 23, 2017 |
Iflyhigh: We do not give chances or odds. Travel while pregnant is a risk. If CBP suspect that you are pregnant they will send you home possibly with a record of fraud. They WILL suspect that your intention is to give birth in the USA. Even if you notify US visa office in Nigeria CBP can still be difficult. If you do intend USA birth then you must make contact with Doctor or hospital and get price quotes. You must be able to prove funds or payment at POE. 2 Likes 1 Share |

CamenLuna:. I have seen people living the column blank .Though you will be asked how much you earn but its left to you to explain better for the vo to understand.. If your company is a very large company with an income of 20million annually I will advice you to tell the vo and then I am very sure you will be asked the staff strength of the company. That way the vo will be able to see if truelly your company is productive and your income is real. expect to be asked questions about your company. They will like to get you from that angle. 1 Like 1 Share |

Iflyhigh: Before traveling notify the US consulate by mail, about your intentions to give birth and the communications you have had with your Dr abroad and in Nigeria, they will go through it and send you an approval by mail, this is what you will show at the POE when you arrive, you need that go ahead letter. You will be asked for it at the POE, and also asked about evidence of payment and evidence of contact with the DR. But it is important you notify the consulate before traveling. |

Beehandz: The thing is after this interview I think the vo must have noted something on your profile which would make your next interview take another turn....so prepare yourself better to convince the vo on your job. You never can tell the vo might ask you some simple question you never expect. They will like to tickle your brain and make you slip. 1 Like |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by KaptainAfrika: 7:39pm On Mar 23, 2017 |
1. Wait a minute. Did you hide the fact that you were pregnant during the interview, it doesn't matter if you were asked or not. 2. In the Trump era, you will not just be deported but possibly banned from the US. 3. Don't send any letter of change of intent, you will only be making your case worse. 4. If you don't go for that conference, the CBP will most likely ask you why, I hope your answer is okay for the CBP. 5. Probability of deportation and ban: 90% 6. You should have told the VO you would also wish to have your child, in the US. Whether you were asked or not. Iflyhigh: |

1. If there is still time before the conference, she should reapply and convince the next VO about the sincerity of the purpose of her travel. 2. Let your wife stress the relevance of the conference to her career, and know what the job entails. Beehandz: 1 Like |

Hi CameLuna, Sorry i forgot to mention that i have my medical arrangements made already. payments done, appointment with my genea is 4weeks before the conference. my doctor and i have been having correspondence. My question is, having issued a business/conference visa, and am traveling 4weeks before the conference to start my routine until the conference, what is the possibility of me gaining entry? |

Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by Beautyaddy: 8:56pm On Mar 23, 2017 |
Lol!...I notice a trend going on now. Some women apply for the B1/B2 visa stating to get it to just to visit the US but had the hidden intentions to use it for child birth in the US in the first place. Who are they deceiving? Yeah right! seyewest: |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by Nobody: 9:51pm On Mar 23, 2017 |
KaptainAfrika: You didn't even read her write up before saying she shouldn't write letter of intent. She stated that her visa has been RENEWED via Dropbox. She must send a letter of intent that's her only option now, notifying the consulate that she wishes to go for delivery, since her visa has already been issued . My cousin renewed her visa last year, just for holiday purposes, she's in America right now to deliver but before leaving Nigeria, she notified the consulate of her plans to give birth and was asked to forward conversations between her and the hospital and receipts which she did. the consulate sent a letter of approval and she travelled, she got to JFK and was asked for that permission, which she showed. Are you now saying that because she got her visa stating that she was going on holiday and one year later, she is pregnant, she should tear the visa or what? She explained all in the letter of intent and the consulate approved it. As long as the B1/B2 was given and child birth falls under the medical category, her writing a letter of intent to the consulate should be no major issue. 2 Likes

@all respectfully. Biko nu. There's a special thread for birthing in the US. Where people that actully have the experience post and answer . The letter of intent argument has been trashed. Several times. The op should go there, read and make up her mind. Her question is also a common one, so e no go hard am to find a Solution in the appros thread. Thanks |

good morning everyone i just notice a mistake in my ds 160 appli now after i have book my appoinment and this is my second time of summiting my ds 160, the mistake is my course of study instead of accounting i wrote accountance..what should i do? should i leave it like that |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by constance234: 3:30am On Mar 24, 2017 |
shilam:Accountancy, specifically refers to the duties(which consists of accounting, bookkeeping, auditing, etc.) or profession of an accountant. So you are good, in this sense you just made a mistake with one alphabet. Leave it like that and mention it at the interview. |
