Good day house, I went for my interview today and I was denied, below is the transcript:
Vo:good morning
Me :good morning
Vo:where are you going
Me:Miami Florida for Bleep conference
Vo: who is sponsoring this trip
Me: my boss
Vo: reading the company email he pronounced the company name.
Vo:will you be going with your boss
Me: yes I will and I have a copy of his visa and passport if you would like to see
Vo: okay no need for seeing that
Vo:are you married
Me: yes with a daughter
Vo:explain what the conference is about
Me: I explained but I was too fast stating the meaning but he kept nodding in approval
Vo: have you ever travelled outside Nigeria
Me:yes Ghana for vacation with my husband
Vo: what school did you attend
Me : I told him my University
Vo:how long have I been working for the company
Me:2 years plus
(So the conversation stops in this next question and very sharp end too)
Vo:are you seeking free medicals in the USA
Me:I said no and shook my head.
Vo: typing for a few seconds he handed over the blue paper(heart breaking) he said he won't be approving today but I can reapply at any time
My question is , is there a device at the embassy that scans pregnant women cos I did not disclose I am, if he had asked me if I am I will have told him but instead he asked me in a different way, the conference is for 3days and I already have a hospital I use here and I would have to come back here cos they have my records here in Nigeria.
Secondly I wonder why most of the Vo in other Windows kept asking(except mine )if the applicants have been outside Africa, especially the black American lady in window 5.
@seyewest and everyone please advise

gbodsman:
good afternoon everyone. a friend of my told me she just finished her interview now and she received a white paper, i was congratulating her and she said they denied her and i was shocked. everybody that got there visa said they got a white paper and am also praying for that not until i heard it from her. please can someone clarify that because my interview is coming November 22. is it possible to receive a white paper and be denied?

Hmmmm. Hmmmm....
The color of refusal papers are not cast in stone. The embassy can and have printed on several colors. The only thing one needs us to READ THE CONTENTS.


I wish folks would know the true status of things before answering and misleading others. Cc: the person alluding to another's color blindness

@mislilybeth. Il be a bit blunt here. Madam. Whether they asked or not, why didn't you disclose?
When asked if you would use medicals, per your own admission, you clearly understood that was a run around way of asking if you were pregnant. Whether or not you intend to birth, why didn't you state it. "thou I am pregnant, I won't Bla Bla... "
Well the advice I have is for you to travel else where. There are like more than 44 options to choose from.

borryworld:
How sure are you about her sight. BTW, your only answer is not even a correct answer. Blue paper is just the colour of the paper not the content.

I just tire Eh

I was denied by a black lady in window 5..and she said I should apply later alone because I am an adult...how soon can I apply again ?

They sometimes print the denial paper in white and it maybe for Administrative Processing paper just read the content.

Beautyaddy:


Ask her if her passport was returned back to her then maybe she was denied.

Most VO hold on to the passports when the visas are granted.

Not most... every VO must hold the passport so they can put the visa on it.

@seyewest and everyone please advise

In case of next time... it is your firm that sponsor the trip/conference not your boss.... Secondly are you pregnant? I still don't get why pregnant women with no intention of birthing in U.S apply for U.S Visa because if the V.O ask you if you're gonna seek medical care in U.S what will you say? you have to come clean on everything including disclosing your pregnancy even if you don't have any intention of birthing in US.

Good evening Lady G,seyewest and everyone that's sacrificial in helping people with issues that pattern to US visiting visa. I pray God will reward you abundantly and you also not lack help in Jesus name.

Please I have questions concerning filling of D's 160 form online for my spouse and I. I have taken my time to read through but part 2I haven't seen a question that pattern to mine. Please what does mean by ARRIVAL FLIGHT AND DEPARTURE FLIGHT.
also, we planned visiting the US for Christmas and I was thinking of applying next week until I saw in this forum that's available dates is January 3rd. So I quickly go ahead to pay in case I'm able to see any available dates. My question is should I go ahead and book appointment because I have not finished filling the ds160 form and I'm yet to add my spouse details too because we intend going for the interview together.

you don't have to fill that...just fill the arrival and departure city...
keep looking out for date and it's advisable that you submit your form before anything.

We learn everyday...Thanks for all great pple in #land

@ op and others.

Please am i banned from entering the UNITED STATES ?

This was what happened . in 2007 i applied for a US student visa, and i presented a fake waec results. my visa application was denied.

Though the reason for the denial was not as a result of the fake waec result as the visa officer had already denied me and told me she wasn't convinced i was a genuine student before seeing the fake waec certificate .

It was when she told me she wasn't convinced i was a genuine student that i insisted i was genuine that she demanded for my waec certificate that I presented the fake waec result to her.

She didn't tell me she understood i forged the results. she glanced through it , gave it back to me and repeated she was still not convinced i was a genuine student.

now my concern and my question is , could it be possible she found out the result was forged but didn't want to tell me but instead silently banned me. i ask this because after glancing through the fake waec certificate she gave it back to me and went to her system and typed something.

In essence i want to know how they ban people. do they normally tell the person they are placing him on a ban ? do they do stamp the person's passport and place him on a ban ? and could it be possible that the thing the visa officer typed on her system be a remark that I presented a false document and i should be banned ?

i just want to know how the banning process works and how I can find out if i am already banned , as i have never applied for US or any other countriy's vsa since that time till now. And am currently planning to apply for a visa and visit the US, this time around with everything genuine.

Haha. You crack me up here. Asking this question nearly or after 10 years of your application symbolizes that you probably might have been guilty of ban. Sometimes, folks don't tell exactly what happened and often turn around episodes.

Yes, the VO would inform and issue you a paper in that regard. But don't really know if they do it now. However, what you gonna do right now is to send an e-mail to the embassy stating your full name, passport number at that time and the category of visa you applied to confirm your eligibility.

And refrain from fake documents.

Please house I need help in filling the ds160 for me and my family. Just my wife and my daughter of 16 months. I was told i could merge the application together so we get same appointment date but I’m confused, And I'm just wondering if they also accept visa fee for an infant. Thanks everyone.

This is my opinion oh:
THEY SEEM TO NOT LIKE "I TRAVELLED TO GHANA/BENIN REPUBLIC/TOGO FOR ANY REASON"

KaptainAfrika:

Almost as good as listing other places you have been in Nigeria, just a little difference in their ears these days....

Please good people in the house, I respect you all.I am a young man of 22,still single.Coming across many post by my fellow nairalanders saying that unmarried people of my age hardly get visitation visa to the States. My question is;what then is the most preferable Visa application i ought to apply for that will give more chances of getting a visa to the States.

The reason is simple most people of your age find it very easy to migrate to U.S when you get visa....

The "RECENTLY" is actually the bad thing in your case, much more like a deliberate attempt to sway the VO, days where that a travel history to these countries mattered. Even SA and UAE travel history seems to be declining in strength now sef. This is why we will not relent in our effort to sensitize our people to cut down seriously on their lies and desperation in visa pursuit and misuse of visas granted them too, not spelling well for the rest of our people coming from behind generally....

actually the date is May this year.

Good evening house members.
I am currently filling my ds-160form, I am visiting my husband's sister in US, that is my sister inlaw, Please does she qualify as a relative to me.
Got to where I was asked if I have a relative in the US.

Thanks

prestigiouslady:
I want to apply for the DS 160 and I've learnt a lot from this thread part 1-3....I pray I'll come back here to give my testimony very soon

But my question is can I apply for DS 160 along with my daughter?? what will I need if I want to apply for her too?? she's just 3years old..
Please what are the chances of both of us being granted visas, we bear different surnames too(she's my daughter but I'm not married to the father), hope that won't cause issues??

Are you really sure you read from part 1 to 3? And you want to APPLY for ds 160?

It doesn't mean that you don't have a legit reason to go to those countries, but a lot of people have "disvirgned" their passports by having these countries stamps on them - fake or real, fake as in having agents stamp on them, real as in travelling to them because its cheap, there's no visa required and it gives them some sort of travel history. If you have no travel history, you can still get the visa. IMHO.
