No one knows. But Canada's applications takes a longggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg time to process, you sure you don't want to go to the US, first and come back?

Abeehorlar:
I have a question, me and my son have USA visa planing to use it next month however I plan to apply for Canada visa with my family. What is the way forward and how slim is our chance get Canada visa

This is the second script, I am seeing this question in two weeks.

My sense is that this is a way VOs now assess the credibility of employers. It's most likely that if your company's email address is xxxx@gmail.com or yyyyy@yahoo.com (or any of those free email domains), you may be refused visa because companies using free emails addresses, are not regarded as serious organisations.

Fact

Make person help with my question biko...daalu nu...Gracias

Hi Guys...

Please who has recently traveled to the states and via JFK to be precise. What are the things to expect from customs and immigration. Questions and all that.

your inputs would be appreciated.

Thank you

Good people of Nairaland please help me.

I paid the application fee and was trying to schedule family appointment(my wife/myself/kids)
I added my wife to the profile successfully, but each time i try to add any of the kid's info, it will return a message that reads:

Unable to add applicant because some or all information you entered belongs to another applicant.

My wife and kids got their passports the same day, so date of issuance and expiry date is the same. This is probably what the error message is all about as every other info is diff.

Please how can i add my kids to the profile successfully?
Your help will be really appreciated.

Thanks

@cosade, KA and Asid. U guys aren't nice at all
@wolesap is there an occupation called oil and gas?
You work as a sales representative at Bla Bla Bla company. Then u describe your duties where asked. From there it ought to be clear the sector your work at

adeptonlin:
Someone to please tell me what to do. Ive scheduled an appointment with my initial ds160 form that was submitted. But later found some mistakes which prompted me to fill another form and submitted. Is there anyway I can update the new ds160 confirmation number without affecting my appointment date?

On this page (476), these issues were addressed. Don't let me type what I have in mind.

JWTheocracy1:


na me oo. how you dey na? Abeg I need this for my friend and his coy. one agent was telling them 200k just to get a conference for them.

200k is not too expensive because it would cost a fortune to use search engines like google. You (or is it your friend) better grab it while the offer lasts.

No one knows only the visa officer knows but base on the experiences of people you might be given you might not, there are cases of people whose profile is similar to yours and we're given but all is in the discretion of the VO.

Lady G and others ...please I need yr opinion thanks



KaptainAfrika:
What are your 'strong ties' to the country that you are applying from?.


Well since my company internet based i can work from anywhere...so I work from Nigeria as well. But the only tie to Nigeria is that I help my dad monitor his properties here in Nigeria when I'm in the country...
i think i have more ties in the UK ...i spent virtually the 1st quarter of this year in the UK on a visit visa. (My 2 year uk visit visa just expired in July but wanna apply for us visa before i renew it ).

First Bolded
This is a red flag. Since you can work from anywhere, you already implied that you can stay put in US and still continue online work.

Second Bolded
You just confirmed that you'll violate your visa terms, if given. You worked illegally in UK, so why won't you work illegally in US too.

The only business allowed on visit visa is business meetings (including negotiations, contract signing etc.) nothing more. Online work is not permitted. Online work falls under self-employment, and self-employed visa or work permit is required in this case.

Sebastine1606:

I know of a family of four, (husband, wife and two kids) who was granted visa on 250k monthly pay to the husband and wife a petty trader....

Are you sure of the man's monthly salary? Air tickets alone for four them, if they are all traveling would cost him at least his salaries for six months.

Please people, help me look into this please.

Firstly, recheck their passport numbers and be sure there is no mix up.

Secondly, ensure each applicant's DS160 confirmation numbers are not mixed up.

And thirdly, if GTB issued different payment confirmation code for each applicant be sure you stated the right code for each person.

For every rule there is an exception.

People just like to present their assumptions as facts. I personally know someone who earns #120,000 monthly and was granted visa. She is currently on vacation in US. Another person with a monthly salary of #150k got her visa and presently preparing for her trip

Thank you......but take note I didn't work illegally in the UK...my company is registered in the UK and it's not considered working illegally unless u take a physical job from a UK employer....there are many companies everywhere that owned by foreigner ...I've done nothing illegal.

Self employed or entrepreneur visa in UK and US requires your company to be worth a certain amount £200k in uk ...bit sure how much in US but I think $100k or more ...my company isn't on that level yet ...so I can't apply in that visa class ....


But thanks for yr insight

LadyGuinivere:

Well you just reiterated what he said. An internet job is not a strong tie.
Having ties in the UK dosent count and they no send
Your father's business is his tie not yours.
You can skim the thread for what the vos consider ties

Okay...thank u lady G ...yr 2 gbaski.....

TWoods:


You just repeated everything i said.

Also, note i highlighted the fact that the OP knows no one in the US - so that he/she does not have anyone else to defray any costs. $3000 is right for a 2-week trip to NY IF you have someone to stay with (zero costs for accommodation, food and possibly transportation).

I filled in 7days 13th September to 19th September but I know people in the us I.e former secondary class mate whom I have as just contacts on facebook. We do no communicate would I have said I knew someone in the us.

You've got got to let this go at Twoods, dwell not on this.... Your stance makes sense, but then, several other variables can cover for this particular highlighted shortcoming. Greetings

A family member as an appointment already without uploading his passport photograph , do the embassy still allow applicant bringing passport photo to the embassy?

[b][/b]well I don't know about that, but I am sure of his salary + I wasn't the V.O who interviewed him,but I believe he/she has a better reason the visa was approved

Rachie83:

I didn't say that, that was why I said "just saying".. At least I know of people who isn't traveled before and yet approved

Sebastine1606:

But I guess he had already made reservations for air tickets from the info I got from him

In UK, "working" is not restricted to "physical work", "online work" is regarded as normal work. You need a self employed or entrepreneur visa to work for your UK incorporated (or registered) company while in the UK. Doing that on a visitors' visa is a violation of your visa terms. You are not even permitted to do voluntary or unpaid work. It is same rule across Europe and North America.
