But this is my hubbys first time. And meanwhile our passports don't bear the same surnames because I just did my own last year august and my hubby did his own July We decided to use it like that since the passport is new and older than our marriage.... and stress of doing another one again... Pls gurus in the house what could be the cause of this denial And when can we apply again Thanks |

Latmari: See eh, next time, apply alone, let your wife sit back, but try to change your surname base on marriage as soon as possible, thats just an opinion. Looks like the application is complicated to the consular officer and thereby feel you guys are running away or one of you is trying to help the other to run away as per the different surnames and leaving your one and only child behind. However, i could be wrong. |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by KaptainAfrika: 7:27pm On Mar 30, 2017 |
MY THOUGHTS: 1. Answer only what you are asked (Vo. Do you have kids = Yes, we do.) 2. Perhaps reapply when your marriage is at least 1 - 2 years old and your son is not "still very little" 3. I suspect your prior application may have had an impact on the current interview, maybe information filled. All the best in the future! Latmari: 1 Like |

Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by constance234: 7:56pm On Mar 30, 2017 |
Latmari:Ties will increase after you guys must have travelled to other countries together, possibly have more kids, promotions at work, increase in salary, properties etc in other news;The idea of wearing uniform to visa interview still baffles me. Not like it matters in this regard, i just think its an overkill and he was still asked what he does for work even with the uniform, it is a visa interview not an internal promotion interview. Even our Oga of customs does not want to wear his uniform to see the senators lol. 5 Likes |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by OmoBendel24: 7:57pm On Mar 30, 2017 |
Latmari:Well, well! Does this baby/"still very little" man really exist or was "created" for tie purpose? How does the bolded fit into the narrative of your last year application? Vex not! The VOs are operating on another frequency these days! I sometimes wonder the info, experiences, street wisdom and knowledge they glean/garner from this nairaland sha despite all these our conviction that "we are learning". I believe they have gained a lot in the midst of their helping us here, really.... #PolicyInputThings 2 Likes |

constance234:Exactly! See this guy that posted. ' Please where did I go wrong?' People come dey waste time answer am. He didn't bother mentioning he does not have twins. No one knows the extent of his misrepresentation. Even me not a VO, without background check tools could smell a fish ofozikwa the vo.Nigerians, thinking they be smart. Next 3 months, he'll go and reapply and assume the new application conquereth all sins , create a new moniker and still say ' guys please where did I go wrong? ' And the vos reading will laugh, and laugh and laugh. And users will waste mb answering him |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by constance234: 4:20am On Mar 31, 2017 |
LadyGuinivere:Yes o, you did smell the fish. Well if anyone holds back some fact and provides half truth, and people make suggestions. He or she will only increase the already enriched coffers of the USA embassy because 99.9% of the time, the Vo will spot out the misrepresentation. People be forking out over 50k 3-4 times a year to apply for visa all in the name of "Let me try i might be lucky". |

Good day pple, A friend of mine applied for B1/B2 visa with the husband in 2015 thru an agent and was granted. They travelled same year, she stayed for 3 weeks cos of her work and hubby stayed for 5 month. Hubby travelled again alone and overstayed. Hubby returned and applied for student visa alone but both hubby and wife where invited for interview and also interviewed separately. The VO asked the wife if she knows why the hubby overstayed and she said that he is an adult that have his own mind. Hubby refuse to tell the wife what he was asked at the interview. Her hubby visa was revoked and he was banned for 5years Now the confusion: The wife wants to renew her expired visa alone and she is scared if her hubby's issue will affect her renewal. She does not know all the information on the form cos she was not be person that filled the form like mother's and father's date of birth. Please house, what do u advise she should do? |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by OmoBendel24: 11:00am On Mar 31, 2017 |
nosamj: You know you will keep messing the advise up, right? Sorry, what did you say informed your change of moniker again? Best advise though, see other places, give US a break, your time will come in the future, if you have not entirely shattered your credibility knowingly or unknowingly oh! |

Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by LadyGuinivere: 11:18am On Mar 31, 2017 |
nosamj:I have been waiting for your post nd waiting to tell you this ' You are not a serz fellow and at the rate you are going, you won't get a visa for the next 10 years' (lemme sound like worry today ![]() The only solution to a lie is the truth. The bible says so. The truth shall set u free. Receive brain and be set free! |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by KaptainAfrika: 11:22am On Mar 31, 2017 |
1. You don't know your parents date of birth, an agent filled that for you. ERROR!. 2. Your husband overstayed and was banned for 5 years. WHY? 3. Your response to why your husband overstayed was "he is an adult that have his own mind"...WHAT A RESPONSE FOR A MARRIED COUPLE! 4. DO NOT APPEAR AT THE US EMBASSY TILL YOUR HUSBAND HAS SERVED HIS 5 YEAR BAN. 5. SIT YOUR HUSBAND DOWN, AND ASK HIM WHY HE WAS STAYING FOR 5 MONTHS, WHY HE WAS OVERSTAYING HIS VISA, WHY IS HE APPLYING FOR A STUDENT VISA AND WHAT HE WAS ASKED IN HIS INTERVIEW. 6 But if you have 54,400 naira to spare, go ahead and reapply, let us know how it worked out. iphiechuks: |

Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by LadyGuinivere: 12:01pm On Mar 31, 2017 |
@iphiechuks Therrein lies the danger of using agents. Ist she knowingly mispresented her parents date of birth and God knows what else. 2nd, I'm almost certain she didn't indicate she used an agent. Both aren't good. That's a burden to overcome. Next, as You already guessed, yes a family member's misbehaviour can affect the spouse's visa outcome. It will be hard to convince a reasonable man that a man stayed more than 6 months in america without a wife's consent. Legally speaking, she was aware of the crime and didn't divulge. (I don't know whether spousal privelege applies here but its the US embassy so they don't give a crap). Now add this burden to the misreresentation burden... Do the math .m. What can she do? Nothing more than trying to convince the vo she had no part of her husband's overstaying. Any correspondence between them showing her dispproval of his actions could help. Proof of travel to otherr countries and not overstaying may help. Prayer and grace will definitely go a long way. |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by iphiechuks: 1:16pm On Mar 31, 2017 |
LadyGuinivere:Thank you so much and Kudos to everybody that have contributed to this. I will give her all the points to ponder on and decide on the steps to take to see how she can remedy the situation. |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by constance234: 2:00pm On Mar 31, 2017 |
iphiechuks:The ills of using an agent can not be over emphasized. They serve no purpose all they do is cause confusion, distort facts and provide a purpoted water tight application which 95% of the time falls like a pack of cards. If not at the initial stage, but it will surely come. No one here can tell your friend what her husband was asked if he wont tell her. No one here can get her the date of birth and other details used by the agent in the first application. No one here can help you get hold of the agent. The key here is your husband, he should tell you the questions he was asked at the interview, and possibly help locating the agent. I doubt the agent even remember what he filled. Best of luck to her and i would suggest she should not bother reapply until she can sort this things out first. 1 Like |
