Maybe. I don't know. But it should not be a problem as long as he can explain simply.

Thanks

A big thank you to lady G, seyewest and all the other gurus in the house...your contributions have been helpful!
Today at the Lagos Consulate was a good day and almost every Window was doling out white paper especially to family people, only on few occasions the blue paper was given out! Fortunately I got the white paper!
I have never applied for a visa before now
I have never travelled out of Nigeria
I am not married and not planning on getting married anytime soon
I am just 27
I have No kids... Here is my transcript!

Vo:Hello
Me: Good morning
Vo:Where in the US are you going?
Me:New York City
VO: why?
Me: to attend my brother's graduation ceremony at Columbia University in the city of NY, I may as well seize the opportunity to do sight seeing,feel the architecture of the city so that when I return it will have a positive influence on my style of architecture
Vo: are your parents travelling also?
Me:No (vo turns and look at me in the eyes, I continued) reason being that my dad is aged and can't make long distance travel and my mum is very busy with her business, so they agreed I represent the family.
Vo: what do you do?
Me: I am an Architect
Vo: what does that mean?
Me: I do building designs and supervise the construction of buildings
Vo: for how long?
Me: 4 years
Vo: when is the graduation?
Me: may 17, 2017, (then brought out the guest reservation ticket from CU and gave to him, he examined it n returned it to me)
Vo: are you married?
Me: No, but I have a lovely family here,my parents and 4 other younger siblings
Vo: oh, your brother is doing his OPT?
Me: yes, he actually works with ports authority of NY n NJ.
Vo starts typing, typing typing, then he asked again, your brothers name is xxxxx
Me: yes...said the name with his accent
Vo: you are Igbo?
Me: yes
Vo smiles and continue typing then he reached out to the white paper and said your visa has been approved, pick it up at the circled location in 3 working days
Me: Thank you! With smiles and joy!

NB: all through the interview the VO was looking at his computer, he only made occasional eyes contact, I even felt he wasn't listening to my stories cos I was verbose couldn't keep it brief...

Thanks once again to all those that contributed to this thread...I rode to success on your shoulders!

Anyone that knows how to get cheap flight to JFK please direct me.

Smh. Indomie and lolly pop generations everywhere.. I knew it that some kids will come and destroy this thread. Lord have mercy.

@LadyGuinivere, just ignore kids, keep doing your thing here. You and others have contributed positively on this thread. How do you deal with critical people? Ignore, ignore, ignore. Just blank them off cos they are frustrated. You don't even need anybody to validate you. Expect more of them here, na so life be, but just ignore them. Keep doing the good job here.

Pleasant Morning 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.

You're probably applying for the wrong visa category. Since you claim your wife has her family in the States, the reasonable visa category for you is Immigrant Visa.

This shouldn't pose a problem except for the wait time or one or most of her family members went through shortcuts to secure their residence and or Greencard which means the negative effect could still rub on your application.

If the initial error was not in previous misrepresentation either from you or your spouse you could still apply, taking all these into consideration.

Thanks madam G! I got a good deal at travel start.com for quatar airways at #318,000
Thanks all!

All protocols duly observed on this thread. I and hubby will have our annual leave in July, so we decided to go on ten days vacation in the US. We presently reside in Asia legally. Do you think our chances of getting visa in Nigeria would be higher than applying here in Qatar. All your responses are highly appreciated. Thank you.

You should apply in the country where your ties are the strongest, i.e. where you live and work.

Thanks for a prompt response. I'm a Nigerian but I presently live and work in Qatar

Hi guys! I applied with my wife and daughter. Went for d interview today and were refused visa. Broken-hearted cos I really wanted my daughter to visit Yankee. Oh well..

Thank you lady g pls don't let what he said to stop the good work u are doing here..we a[b][/b]lways learning from ur post and comment here .what goes around comes around..God bless u ma..

LadyGuinivere:

For me its a. Non issue truly. I try as much as I can to offer my advice for as many people as I can. Have never tried to be sugar and spice and anything nice. I'm nobody's mommy here. If I see anything not going right I call it as is. If it offends anybody #shrugs! That's life. The person that abused me clearly has issues with me which is ok. One person asked a questin on visas generally, another person replied. The ist poster says I don't gerrit and I translated. Brosses come dey abuse LadyG moniker. Seen! If it makes you happy to abuse LadyG, she's aii with it.
But will she stop being herself? Heck No.
Thanks y'all. My worry is how to drive myself home with the high temperature I get now no be people when dey notice me. At least, I was noticed today. Lemme go and testify to my popularity

Dear gurus in the house, can you agree to this business contract of pay after service of getting a 2 year US VISA for 1.5M?

Oseni007:
Please uncle,r u sure ur not about to be scammed. After or before service payment will only constitute misrepresentation. It is not even a business contract. Fill the DS form,pay the fees and go for your interview.1.5 M

Terms and conditions include:
*joint account where the fee is kept
*confirm Visa at Airport
*Book flight ticket with the visa
*no any amount to be paid during processing

Please uncle,Agent will tell u anything to extort money from you,this terms and condition that you have listed doesn't change the fact you will be going for an interview(abi he has told you non-appearance scam talk) plus who pay 1.5M for a VISIT VISA

Who says so? They can ask to see the genuineness of the conference. My friend was asked with receipt too. A lot of you post rubbish here deceiving people.

LadyGuinivere:
Let me translate
U do not need an invite letter
U don't need a statement of account.
Read the US website and BEFORE you pay the visa fees.
He's also predicting no success if you do not research.
Is that clear enof?

@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.

Perhaps I can help here:

You do not need an invite letter.
You do not need a statement of account.
Read the U.S. website before you pay the visa fee.
Do your research before you come for your interview.

This is sound advice.

You are free to bring all the reams of paper you can carry but after having personally done 30,000 interviews (and counting), I can't remember more than a handful of times I bothered asking for something. In fact, the more you try to show me the less I believe you.

The only exception are old passports, especially if they show prior travel. Those, I do like to see.

Regards,
VO

Thank you for the explanation.

Thank you @visaofficer! Your contribution was really helpful! You have helped resolve the conflicts.

LadyG, all your advice and contributions have also been very helpful!

I got a visa recently, no document was checked, I even forced my guest reservation ticket on the VO but he barely looked into it, I did a lot of research,reading atleast 80% of this thread, going through the US visa n immigration website, watched tutorials and demonstrations on YouTube about US visa interviews, read so many articles online about the visa process and interview!

I listened to the interview of a lady who was denied on d 10th, she clearly lacked knowledge of the entire process, d VO even told her that he is confused with her application, that they don't seem to matchup.

Sir I don't know if truly you are a VO or just a nickname but what I know is that if someone is going for a conference, he should go with his invitation letter should in case he/she is asked. I feel you comment should be you don't need an invite letter if you going on vacation. Truly those that want to show the VO things without being asked get less believe. It's advisable to go with all documents cus u never know what they will ask for. As for the passport, I have seen where a VO gave back the old passport without even looking at it. Those VO can have good and bad days that's all I see.
