Morning house, anyone with such experience, kids had b1/b2 interview, VO said there is note on kids, was given white paper with case number and passport, said she need clarification before making decision, VO said she will call back same day or send electronic mail but did not received any call that day and later login to profile and on home page and see your passport is still with the US embassy whereas she returned it with the white paper.kindly share your experience with me if you have similar experience.

Contents of white paper please? @the bolded is mostly so immediately after interview, even with the passports right under your pillow.

Guess what? I don't believe your story dearie. Talkless of the VO. it is my Belief (unproven of course) that you lied in your ist application and decided to forge ahead with that lie.
However, if what you say is true, it can be proved. Gbo? Abi the marriage no be formal marriage. So the divorce comes with papers from the High court (before you go to welfare and dagbo papers) if all you said is true then there are marriage cerficates , birth certificates for the kids and decree nisi for the divorce and all other relevant legal supporting docx. The embassy can verify these docx. If what you said is true , then I believe you know this already and can prove your honesty at the embassy. In which case, a thousand apologies for my sceptiscm.

If however you lied, stop decieving yasef and wasting your money. Confess. If you are denied, you pay for your crimes and repply later

Oh, my dear sister! My exact thoughts, quite more like the fact.... Said to jump and pass, no power for turenchi and defensive abuse this afternoon, make the blessings from church sit well first. We dey come.... Happy Sunday y'all!

Pleasant Sunday My people. Please advice me on this. I have applied for US visa 3times whilst I was not married, 2 student visa and 1 visitors visa in the space of 4years, all denied. Now am married with a son, my wife has also applied for US visitors visa 3times (2times when she was single and 1time when she was married/pregnant) Now we are married and have a son together, my wife's family all live in the US, Her Father, step Mother, and 4 step siblings all with the same surname with my wife's maiden name, now we intend applying for family visit in summer 2017 as my wife's sister is getting married there in the US, which we have been sent an invite, What is the chance of getting this visa? Any specific way to get the visa? Will I fill 3 different Ds160 form for the 3 of us? Will I pay for 3 US visa fee? Booking appointment for the 3 of us, how will I go about it to be able to visit the VO/embassy as a family.

About three weeks ago I went for a visa interview at the US Embassy and was denied (the day of bomb scare at the Embassy). Here's the transcript

VO: So you lecture. How long have you been lecturing?
Me: Six years.

VO: Where do you lecture?
Me: University of...

VO: Are you married?
Me: Yes, I have a one year old boy.

VO: Where are you going in America?
Me: San Diego, California to attend .... conference.

VO: Who organised the conference?
Me: University of....

VO: I have worked as a university professor, and I know the Conference is only meant for locals (she meant not for foreigners). You can reapply....

The issue is that the Conference is an international conference. The VO was mistaken. A week after the interview, I got a mail from the organisers of the conference saying I have been registered and international participants can apply for a letter of invitation. I bet my mistake was not waiting for the confirmation mail before scheduling the interview. I am planning to reapply for the same conference (another edition) later in the year because it will help my career and research prospect as a PhD student. What reason should I give for being denied previously?

@coolcube... But u just posted the reason why you believed you were refused na now. What else can one now tell you?

Hello all,My question is that my fiance who is an American citizen wants me to come to the USA in September. Please what should i present to the consulate when I get there for my visa,s he intends sending me an invitation letter.

As long as the conference organiser did not indicate that the conference is for only locals, you're 100% free to apply. However, the VO has the final decision. For instance, there is a conference in US i recently scheduled an appointment for and i have confirmed if i am good to apply as i'm travelling from Dublin. I emailed them and i also gave them phone calls and i got positive reply. I'm the type that always make sure i provide more than required documents for visa applications, so i always communicate directly with conference organisers by email to confirm the validity & genuineness, where i am coming from to attend the conference. They always give me the best answer.

However, always try to contact the conference organiser and let the organiser know that you're coming from outside the state even though you have indicated that on your online conference registration form.

PLEASE NOTE: This is only what i've been doing myself.

Least i forgot, if anyone need 100% free conference, let me know, i will try find one for you. Not guarantee, but i will try. I've given just few people and some of them got their US visa with it. Once you should your conference are of interest i will contact you via nairaland mail if i get any for you or not. Pls don't send me pm about this, don't leave your contact details here. If you think i'm going too far in this regard pls do not hesitate to do the needful by exposing me here . Show your interest here and lets help ourselves yes lets help ourselves.. LadyGuinivere abi no be so? Happy weekend to you all!

this is why the US embassy now denies conference goers willy nilly... they now realize most of them are simply a means to fraudulently obtain US visas. Even mr. coolcube himself is asking for conferences from you... with no regard as to whether it is of relevance to him or not.

LadyGuinivere:

Brother. For your own good, invest some time reading the US embassy website and this thread. How do we say it? 'Chuwa ewu ojii na ututu' . Your ist question is so elementary it shows you have put in little effort.
1. Every human being needs an an individual int. Passport , whether 1 hour old or a hundred years.
2. You can do whatever your family wants. However, the tricky part is convincing the vo about your real relationship with the child. Same surname is usually the easiest way to start proving paternity/maternity of a child. When the names are different, the burden becomes higher. If you can verily prove that the child belongs to you, cool. Remember, the burden is on you and the vo may not ask.
But these are the little things that the vo will look at in one minute and make up his mind.

A child not having the same surname as its parents? Thats a new one. . .

After you get married, you should be filing for an Immigrant Via, not NIV because then it becomes harder to overcome the presumption of immigration intent.
best file the iV, then you can apply for either a K visa or a normal NIV

doctor108:


Now they gave me a paper that says you can apply again when your circumstances have changed!
Let me highlight things that will change by then!
1. Now single, then I will be married to a Citizen
2. Now jobless, I will be about 5 months into a job half way into my internship which I need to complete to get my full license (professional tie)
3. Now no money to sponsor my trip, then I ll be on almost 190k salary monthly (federal medical center) then I have a job that can make me come back (economic tie)
4. Then I can say I have a son to come back to (family tie)
5. I will be able to get a letter from my employer that I have been given a 2 week leave (professional tie)
If after all that they still refuse me, life will still go on! Am tough and prepared for that! Med school prepared me!

House please point to where I made a mistake and advice on my future plans. Also advice me whether by that September we should book my flight and book and pay for where we will stay for the honeymoon. We are looking at Hawaii, etc.

I will update with the transcript of the other interviews!
Thanks

desrie:
Hello ladyG and Gurus
My wife and I applied for vacation last month but we're denied so we decided to children at Obudu and use the budgeted travel expenses to US to change my wife's car(warri women no dey carry last).We were denied cos we had no child in my own opinion cos we have good paying jobs an travel history though separately to UK and SA.The VO stressed on the child issue. During the interview I signalled wifey to disclose her 18weeks pregnancy but she didnt.
Now there is a memo in the hospital that all the senior resident doctors in a particular department should attend a 46th international conference in Chicago as a prerequisite for part 2 exam before becoming a consultant and this will be fully sponsored by the hospital through federal government.Based on my position,i will be among the attendees BUT my fear now is that my wife would have put to bed by then and if I should say I have a child won't the VO see it as misrepresentation since wifey didn't disclose her pregnancy.Should I still maintain that I have no child to avoid being perceived as misrepresentation and possible ban.help please

Just tell them the truth if it comes to that

@yinkslinks ......
Thank you for the comment, exactly a lot post rubbish here and this LadyGuinivere - MADAM NO ALL and VERY RUDE THING. I don't care whether you created the thread or not - you just talk to people anyhow . *hissed*
Who says no need of documents - fine you might go with documents and no single one would be checked but some times like yinkslinks said they will request for it for confirmation . So people, please go with ALL APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS if they don't check at all then fine and if they ask you have something to show.
I work in a company with our head office in US and I have over 20 colleagues that have gone to the embassy for an interview at different times for several reasons so i know what i'm saying.

Seen.

Lady G, happy new year

How far? This one wey somebody say you day post rubbish

Smh. And this is why some people fail exams. Collcube clearly stated ''Conferences on education'', so what gave you impression that he/she will just go for any education conference without selecting the one in his/her field? Your body too dey hot sha.

So if you are willing to pass information about any free conference in the US to any interested person that can save him/her some money it is a crime? you called that fraudulent? Nawa for some people sha! Who tell you that free conference in the U.S is the reason the U.S consulate deny applicants? I have attended conferences that i paid total 0 fee and was granted visas. So get your fact right. If your conference is genuine and you have receipt for it from the organizer you're very good to go, except if the VO refuse you on different ground, so please get your fact right and stop creating distraction on this thread.
