I think what did you in was "WHEN DID YOU START YOUR BUSINESS" you should have stated in years & not "IMMEDIATELY I CAME BACK FROM CANADA" the vo might have thought you were be pushy with your travel experience & also if you didn't own the business, you should have corrected the "YOUR BUSINESS" statement.

Did you have your invitation letter and did you specify your uncles address when filling the form online ? Like I said here earlier on, invitation letters are no longer important, unless they are somewhat high profile invitation letters. 2 Likes |

"Me: I started immediately I returned from Canada. After she said bla bla bla I should have issued your visa but not enough bla bla don't even hear again. Naso she bring my pp and blue paper and said you can reapply anytime you want." You should have heard what she was saying, most times kind-hearted VO's give hints on what should be done before reapplying... Here are my suggestions: 1. Monthly income, I know it sounds like salary but I suspect she was asking about the income made from the business as a whole, not salary, I might be wrong. 2. When did you start your business question? this question probably tripped you, the response should have been in days, weeks, months or years. 3. Give sometime before reapplying, so you don't look desperate. You have everything to be honest, its rare for someone to go to canada to study and come back.

Hello house,
Pls I need your advice. This is my story below
I applied for visiting visa with my husband in 2015 but we were denied. I actually wanted to go and give birth wc I made my intention known.
The VO asked how long I have known my husband wc I answered 8yrs and he said in the last 3yrs I have travelled 5times why didn't we go together
I told him we were not married and there was no reason for us to travel together cos we got married in 2014.
Eventually we were denied.
2016 I travelled with my LO to UK but my husband didn't go with us due to his biz. We are planning to reapply again as a family now,I hope the fact that we didn't travel together in 2016 won't be an issue.
My husband is a biz man and I work with salary of 270k. |

Apart from couples, those who are engaged or better still in a relationship can travel together too. My husband didn't go with us due to his biz means a lot of things and is different from being busy. A better response could have been your husband is busy. You will surely get the visa if you prepare adequately this time. |

I dont know why i was denied. No document was checked. where do you guys think I missed it? Sorry about your visa denial. You tried your best but it wasn't enough. However, whenever you are responding to visa interview questions, you have to be clear and accurate and hope for the best. First, why are you going to the US? I am going to the United States for vacation. You state clearly where you're heading to. OK? Family visit. State exactly. It could be as a result of wedding or something. Second, where do you work? The best response should be in full like Anny Agricultural Feeds Nigeria Limited or something, so to speak. The VO didn't ask for your duties there. Why giving out unnecessary information? So, she thought you were desperate. Desperation is a total turn off. Third, are you married? Yes. Good. You have kids? Yes, a single daughter. Not a good response. Plural of kid is kids. So, a good response here should no but a kid. Furthermore, how long do you plan to stay? 3 weeks is okay but it's too much. How could you leave your job for three weeks? That's no no. Unless you are on leave. Have you travelled out of this country before? Yes. You shouldn't tell the VO the country or countries you've been to unless she asked. Then you can say Canada and South Africa. You needn't have to say you went to these two countries. She again asked are you married? I think she wanted to approve your visa by giving you another chance but you lost it. 3 Likes 1 Share |

1.Even if you are granted a visa or denied ALL ALWAYS TAKE NOTE of what the VO's tells you. 2. 3 weeks is much for you to be away from your work and family. 14 days is appropriate. 3. Be specific with the right answers. Reapply after 90days. Best regards KaptainAfrika: "Me: I started immediately I returned from Canada. After she said bla bla bla I should have issued your visa but not enough bla bla don't even hear again. Naso she bring my pp and blue paper and said you can reapply anytime you want."
