wagamama:


I want her to visit the US before she applies for her Masters program. She is currently working although it's been only for 5 months and that's not enough to convince them for a visa. How much tie can an average 22 year old in Nigeria have at this point in their lives apart from a good paying job which she has.

hello house, which of these countries do VO regard honour as travel history / experience

1. Ghana

2. Kenya

3. South Africa

4. Dubai

i know this question may upset you , i just need reasonable analysis in order to weigh options thanks.

KaptainAfrika:
I am of the opinion that you are qualified for visa at the discretion of the VO. You can improve this by having strong ties to your home country.
People with "VIRGIN PASSPORTS" have gotten US Visa's many times. But if you are exceedingly rich, you can travel anywhere you want to. Your choice.
(THIS IS THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION).

Save your money and build up your strong ties to Nigeria instead. No two ways about it.

lexyj123:


Thank you for your kind prompt response, but what tie could be stronger than having a government agency job of about 10years experience and still counting , earning above 250k, married with children, a certified professional, having siblings and parent here in Nigeria,landed property enof, what more?

lexyj123:


yes, people get approved on virgin passport and i can tell you they have peculiar stories and they wont narate. more so, it depends on the mood of the the VO, and that is purely GRACE in action, and not everyone has it in equal measure.

IHate9ja1:
Honestly packaging/lying in ANY visit visa application isn't worth it. Currently where I work I met a guy who is looking to get hired, so we got talking and he opened up about how he was denied a usa B2 visa along side his wife and daughter, I requested to see a copy of his DS160 form which he brought yesterday,he was interviewed at abuja (about 5/6pages) did a photocopy while I handed him back his own copy and guess what information there was bogus despite having good home ties (married), went ahead and made travel plans(desperation) and I pointed out his errors at least based on what i have learned on here. And sincerely it changed my impression big time,here are few lessons
1) lying ruins your credibility and it's correction takes time that's if you don't get banned.
2) going to the usa is good but it isn't a do or die affair.
3) i found it more prestigious to visit and return i.e first visit you get 6months, upon your return and second visit you get 2years with a drop box renewal option. I find this more sweeter than over staying and falling out of status,open more doors to visit other countries.
4) it's more better to follow the Rules and say the truth,even if you earn less than 100k in salary don't inflate how much you earn. I know the situation here in 9ja is tough but [b]it's not advisable one lies as it affects not only the applicant but also his/her family members [/b]who intend to apply for visa.
5) applicants should ensure they have a genuine and clearly defined purpose on why they intend to visit the usa
Enough said, I'd rather say the truth with a clear conscience and get denied, than ruin my credibility with lies just to get a sticker

seyewest:

None if you don't have good enough ties.. you maybe be married but it's not enough.. you may have good paying job and it may not be enough...Inshort people with no travel experience do get U.S Visit visa why? because they are able to convince the V.O they will come back.

Yes. You will need the original of all your documents or the one's that you have the original for. So you will need:

These are some that you will need, include any other documents that you have the originals for. All the best.
They look at originals only, no photocopies.
