KaptainAfrika: If this is the case, you guys can still reapply. I think the visa category thats relevant to you, includes the organisers applying for visa's on your behalf, then you attend the interview. Its like the one they do for musicians, coming to do tours in the US.
That's a P visa! Are they artist performing for money? |

Yesbody:
I think you are rite on your view, I planned to carry the baby but she refused, the vo on window 5 was actually watching our drama from the mirror set at the corner When it was our turn to move to window 9, the vo at window 5 hurriedly discharged the guy he was attending to and forced us to move to his window The security lady was like " but Y, they are expected to move to window 9 thru her body language" My wife was actually struggling with our baby while I was holding the 3 passport and some other document The vo intensionally denied us bcus of my action. That's the more reason why you need to reapply and be the one to carry your girl. 2 Likes |

Nikkygold4life: Hello people I need your advice. My family is planning to visit the US this December but we have not filled the form let alone get appointment for interview. Here are my questions: 1.Do you think it's possible for us to make the traveling this December? 2. Is it advisable for one to apply for visa on newly issued passport (got them on Tuesday) or do I need to wait a while like for some months? Thanks for your kind response. Pls help me with these questions. |

Re: USA Visit Visa Part 3 by LegitBachelor: 8:27pm On Nov 09, 2017 |
LegitBachelor: Please look into this and give your comments on my chances of getting US visit visa. I know you guys are not the VO that will interview me on the D-day. I just need comments especially on my weak points which I bolded.
I was denied visa last year. Reason being that I don't have have sufficient ties. Then I was single, no kid, work with a govt agency for 4 years, earn over a hundred thousand naira, and no travel history.
Now I seek to apply again. What's changed? The following have changed:
Work History: I still work with the govt agency (5 years) but now also work with an international organisation and I earn over a million naira.
Travel History: I have travelled to Denmark, Germany, Holland, China and India. I also have 1 year valid schengen visa.
I am still single and have no kid. I also remembered I had applied unsuccessfully in US Diversity Lottery Visa several times.
In my previous visa application, I wanted to visit a family friend whom I used as my contact person. But now I intend going on my own on a vacation. Will be staying in a hotel and will probably not visit him. Didn't use him as my contact person in this new application (he's not even aware of my re-application).
So what are my chances? I've gone for my visa interview. Went with the following documents: 1. My GTB Receipt 2. My Appointment Slip 3. My Confirmation Slip 4. My International Passport 5. My Passport Photo and 6. Documents showing ties to Nigeria The documents I presumed will provide evidence of my ties include my bank statements, my appointment letter with my workplace and my appointment with an international organisation. Also I attached my hotel booking confirmation. All these I out in a separate file and tagged them evidence of ties to Nigeria When I got to the venue I only went in with the documents I listed. To make things easy for me and the embassy security guys I left my belt and my money in the car. My appointment was for 6:45am. All the VOs at the windows this morning were causcasians.......I think. There were lots of refusals. I also noticed the interviews lasted a bit longer than I expected. Its quite sad that one will be engaged on a lengthy interview and yet be denied I can't remember my window but the lady in front of me was granted visa. Then I was called in: VO: Good morning Me: Morning VO: Can I have your passport please Me: *Gives him* VO: So why do you want to go to the United States? Me: Intend going to Dallas, Texas on vacation (didn't give details). Might also check on Mr G. who's a family friend (he then started typing) VO: Oh ok, your family friend is based in the States? Me: Yes he is VO: Have you travelled outside Nigeria? Me: Yes. I've been to Denmark, Germany, Holland, China, and India VO: When did you travel to the Schengen States? Me: I travelled on dates A, for Denmark, dates B & C for Germany and D for Holland VO: All in 2017? Me: Yes VO: So you travelled twice to Germany this year? (Now facing me) Me: Yes, I travelled on dates B and C VO: So where did you travel to in Germany and what did you go to do in Germany? Me: *This was my strong point as it enabled me explain the work I do for the international organisation which was what took me to Germany. He delved into testing my knowedge on certain areas to know if I was really telling the truth but I was vibrating since its a field I'm good in and passionate about. He asked over 5 questions here . And he kept typing as I talked* VO: (He then switched from my inernational job to my government job) So what do you guys do at your primary place of work? Me: We regulate bla bla bla and my department where I work is particularly tasked with bla bla bla VO: Mention the names of your fellow colleagues at your workplace who go with you to Germany for the assignment with the IInternational organisation. Me: Mr U, J and I VO: Are you married? Me: No VO: How many times have you travelled. Me: *Haba I thought I had told you * 6 times to 5 countries VO: I will be approving you visa. (He then picked up the white form and pointed at the address there). You will be contacted to pick your passport at this address. (He then handed over the white form to me) Me: Thank you I then made to go but I realise my passport wasn't with me. I wanted to go back and ask him for it cause it seemed strange to be going home without it ...the last time I went, I got my passport back immediately after the interview. But I then realised that the reason why I wasn't given back my passport is because my visa will be embossed on my passport so they took it to emboss the visa. As I walked out of the building, I made sure I put a serious face so nobody will ask me how it went but surprisingly a female mopol called me out and asked me with some measure of certainty if I got the visa. I said yes but I had no money on me. Also as I was about leaving the final checkpoint another mopol asked me for money. Now my question is this: How did they know that I had gotten the visa? I'm guessing the guys inside the building gave the guys outside some form of signal . No document was requested just my passport. Not even my statement of result or appointment letters. I'm so grateful to everyone here. I am so grateful to Kristinbaby who gave me confidence and provided very useful advice. Most of all I'm most grateful to God. Please I have a question......when will my passport be most likely ready for pickup. I'm travelling next week week Saturday to a schengen state. Hope it will be ready by then o. 20 Likes 1 Share |

The event i want to attend is February and i just started reading this thread from part1. I don't want to hurriedly fill out the DS160 since part of their decision is based on what is submitted to them, so i want to know if i can book an appointment while i take my time to fill out the form after getting required information.
Also, is it possible to pay the visa fee online or have someone pay on your behalf? Yes! Just fill the first 2 pages of the DS160 for you to have the Number, so you can go ahead and use the number to book appointment. Thats what i did anyways. |

Me: On resumption, I carry out checks on the plant to see if there are any deviations that could result in low production (in the process of explaining my duties I mentioned an acronym used in my field) VO: What is Bleep? ( the acronym I mentioned) Me: Bleep means bla bla bla ( he types on his computer) VO: What do you do? (he asked my wife) My wife: I am a bla bla bla. VO: How many children do you have?

A point to note is that you should fill your form yourself and try as much as possible not to patronise agents. They can frustrate your life. An agent wanted me to give him 1.5m for visa application for a family of 4 excluding the visa fee which I will still pay for. I said within myself that it will be better for me to apply myself and lose the 256k than to give him the 1.5m. This I did and fortunately for me, we were granted.
Congrats please did you fill a separate ds160 form for your kids and wife? As I was asked for ds160 number of spouse during interview scheduling booking |
