Ajakayekoke: Kindly shelve this your US visa plan for now please.... Are you having the trado-wedding already (or just the 'visa' at hand?) before US visa interview and is your dad responsible for that too? Camdan oh, before you finish your credibility with the US embassy without reason! |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by cosade(m): 2:30am On Aug 10, 2017 |
seyewest: Not spouse's income but sponsor's. You're asked something like "Is someone else paying for this trip?" and if you answer "yes", you'll be prompted to state your sponsor's details. |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by cosade(m): 2:42am On Aug 10, 2017 |
Ajakayekoke: Congratulations to your Dad for "getting bigger". Sure, if he can afford paying for traditional wedding in Dubai then no one will doubt that he should be able to sponsor your honeymoon to California. Hmmmn, as per the traditional wedding in Dubai, remember that "Alejo lowo" (money is a stranger). Ensure your future (as you're starting a new family) is guaranteed. 1 Like |

Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by OmoBendel24: 6:50am On Aug 10, 2017 |
cosade: But you still can't state your sponsor's income, not captured. |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by OmoBendel24: 6:59am On Aug 10, 2017 |
cosade: No way, no need for @the bolded. Anyways, this was a successful one, and LadyG's opinion explains to a whole large extent the reason for the success though the transcript's poster seem of another opinion from his assumptions. Clearly from the transcript, the probability of his wife getting a visa can be said to be higher compared to being refused. Again, anything could have happened, she may have some more of the visa determining variables going for her in the VO's assessment and from those indices invisible to us "analysts" ![]() |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by OmoBendel24: 7:09am On Aug 10, 2017 |
Gaggi: Yeah @the bolded is possible. But when the time comes, you will have to literary VARNISH into the US after she has overstayed her visa with the kids (that then will partly give you a clearer picture of why the VO could somehow risk granting her the visa). Her response to the question on where you work could just be the magic here even as there's at least some travel history that counts just in case you are over underrating a UAE travel history WITH YOU FOR HONEYMOON. Also, there may have been further questions asked as regards her own "work" not captured in this transcript, just my assumption though. |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by Ajakayekoke(m): 7:30am On Aug 10, 2017 |
cosade:Thanks so much boss.for the dubai stuff,what are we to take along to the u.s embassy,is it the dubai visa,or hotel&hall reservation and all?cos we intend going for the us interview before the dubai trip. |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by Ajakayekoke(m): 7:33am On Aug 10, 2017 |
OmoBendel24: Just the visa @hand,@dubai,and yes dad is sponsoring it too...I don't understand the credibility you talked about sir |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by OmoBendel24: 8:11am On Aug 10, 2017 |
Ajakayekoke: Quite funny @the bolded. You think VO's are idiots? Go and do the wedding first in Dubai as sponsored of by your dad, maybe then, he will be acceptable to some extent as your US trip sponsor. By CREDIBILITY I mean, keep your records unblemished, untarnished and not calling for tighter scrutiny in future applications just in case this your watery package is refused in the now. I normally will advise, go to the US embassy for a visa only when the odds are much more stacked up in your favor and not otherwise. This one is not just to your advantage yet, sorry dude! NB// what do you even think a UAE visa looks like sef? A sticker on your passport, abi? |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by cosade(m): 8:21am On Aug 10, 2017 |
Ajakayekoke: Go with all the documents you have, it won't hurt if none is asked for, but would, if asked for and you don't have it. By the way, you mentioned reservation not evidence of payment/wire transfer for the Dubai hotel and hall, which I think is the most important. |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by cosade(m): 8:26am On Aug 10, 2017 |
LadyGuinivere: US is very much interested in those that can "oil" their economy without hurting it. |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by Ajakayekoke(m): 8:26am On Aug 10, 2017 |
cosade:Thanks,reservation,in the sense of everything,thats what I meant. |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by Ajakayekoke(m): 8:31am On Aug 10, 2017 |
OmoBendel24:I know its gonna be printed out..its gonna work out for us,based on belief,things happen,i'll share the testimony here,i promise. |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by cosade(m): 8:46am On Aug 10, 2017 |
Ajakayekoke: During your interview, you should look for the slightest opportunity to use this as a strength to cover your major weakness of no travel history. Like if you're asked if you've travelled out of Nigeria. I'll expect something like "No, because my Dad who is my sponsor insisted my first trip outside Nigeria would be for my wedding ceremony, which would be taking place in Dubai and he wants the honeymoon in California. He has committed so much if his personal resources to made this dream if his come true". Hopefully, at that point you may asked for evidence of payment made for Dubai ceremony. |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by cosade(m): 8:52am On Aug 10, 2017 |
OmoBendel24: I now recall that my spouse was asked verbally during the interview. But with my office name and position on the application, it would have given the VO an idea of my status. Yea, you're absolutely right. |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by Ajakayekoke(m): 9:04am On Aug 10, 2017 |
cosade:Thanks so much,this is so so Strong.God bless |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by muyico0le(m): 9:13am On Aug 10, 2017 |
cosade: Pls what about if no travel history and your employer is the one responsible for the trip, can I just answer affirmatively, NO...? |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by cosade(m): 9:32am On Aug 10, 2017 |
muyico0le: If you have no travel history, of course the answer will always be "No" irrespective of whom your sponsor is. The best you can do is to quickly add whatever strength you think can over ride that. If I were in your shoe, I'll say "No, because since I started work it has been difficult to get two weeks leave at a stretch but this time my employers are sponsoring so I am permitted to travel for the period .....". It's a gamble, hope that the VO would listen to you but as it has been advised severally here, it's good to have good travel history before seeking US visa. I hope you work for a reputable company sha. |

Just got back, 7:45. I will share my transcript and all later today. I was denied. Thanks to the gurus. |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by Nobody: 9:53am On Aug 10, 2017 |
Ajakayekoke: LOL. Even though I feel getting a US visa has element of luck as a factor, your story seems watery. Traditional wedding in Dubai? Honeymoon in the US? LOL. I've never laughed so hard. I was denied UK visa three times as a younger man because I wanted to travel at all cost. When I look back at my applications now, I feel embarrassed. Sorry to bust your bubble but if you don't change your story line entirely and your reason for travelling, you have a 100% chance of rejection coming your way. 1 Like |

Gaggi:God bless you my good man. Folks need to be using inner eye and Wisdom to perceive posts. So when they come back the VOs aren't crucified 1.they wanna use marriage as a tie. Trado marriage. In Dubai at that. Now that tie would not even have materialized at the tym of applying. So for all intents and purposes they are young, single with zero travel history 2. They have no job 3. They have no income. 4.is Dubai not a honeymoon location. Mbok make e apply jor... We are waiting 2 Likes |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by bigbus: 12:09pm On Aug 10, 2017 |
Ajakayekoke: Bros, I like your faith. I suppose you have already paid visa fees, so no harm attending interview. If going ahead, make sure your Dubai visa is legit (I have heard of banks not accepting them for PTA, and I have seen airline staff debate on whether it's genuine or not). Also, since your trad arrangement is fixed and committed, better to go with hotel and hall payment receipts, not reservation which can be cancelled. If you will come back to Nigeria before honeymoon, go with your Lagos-Dubai-Lagos tickets also. Going to Dubai for Trad and returning before interview may better help your situation (at least, you will have genuine travel history). However, all in all, I am inclined to opine that you settle for a less towering hurdle: many countries provide top honey moon destination. Close to Dubai, you can try Seychelles (it's visa free on arrival for Nigerians) or Kenya (visa on arrival for Nigerians and if you use Kenyan Airways, you may even find that routing your Dubai flight through Nairobi may be cheaper than Emirates direct flights). 1 Like |
