Holyfield1:
My interview is scheduled for next week

I'm to accompany our grandma who got her VISA already and travelled to visit our uncle once in the States

Grandma slipped and fell on the stairs about 2 months ago so I will be going with grandma for the medical treatment and visit to my uncle

What are the possible questions I may be asked?


Please help house!!!

the reason transcripts are posted is for you to read and prepare with that. Nobody is going to do that for you.
Mnyl u asked this question before. You are still asking. Keep on asking. Do NOT work hard for what you want

Surdycole2:

:oMy real worry now is that by the time this people are through with their misgivings, the COMPLETELY tattered and battered image the country Nigeria will be left with ehn, even those that consistently used their US (and other countries) visas appropriately and according to terms MAY last last find it difficult to renew or even step foot on US/foreign soil thereafter as a multiplier effect oh ....

SCARING INDEED

Mandex11:
thanks just wasted 64k

Sorry.... You should have asked first. Well, the fee is valid for one year, use it for renewal next year!

Mandex11:
thanks just wasted 64k

No it's not wasted. Your payment receipt is valid for a year. You can use it to renew your visa.

terrywales:
A successful visa interview transcript tone is very lovely and detail. it will sound like

I
Another setranscript will be like


I was interviewed by a stern looking African American lady that many have been complaining about


Pls where did I go wrong...


Assuming you are to give visa to either of the two transcript ... which one are you likely to give?

thanks

To read this thread and the embassy website.
After that, you analyse yourself and ask yourself if an objective VO will give us visa based on every factor in your life

Obabebs:


...with wat i saw 2day its Gods favour....d standin stress is too much...gonna try later.... mayb wen am almost done wit my masters.

You are right...with the profile you painted there...only an over concentrated portion of God's favour would have secured you the visa...

TWoods:


Other people call it a J.O.B.

Or he can fast, pray, sow visa seed, ask for favor, go to mount Everest and pray for 21 days, go to Saudi Arabia for prayers, go for deliverance for 500 days and the source of income will come and he will get US visa plus job plus accommodation plus a startup salary of 45,000/month on arrival in the US

Don't be in a rush, build your ties. A job, good finances these will overcome travel history as many people have gotten without travel history. But it's up to you, better luck next time.

Lol! Denial was the best thing that happened to me. I came back stronger than ever.

While filling my form MYSELF @LadyGuinivere I saw one of your post how to be confident and how to take control of the interview.

God bless you for all the little but important remarks you render in this forum.

I’m already in the states (it’s so beautiful) can’t wait to be on leave again and return soon, just have 2weeks holiday.

please can you share ladyg inspiration to me

Please can you do me a favour by sharing @LadyGuinivere post on how to be confident and how to take control of the interview I have searched through all the pages couldn't find it as my interview will be coming up by month ending.
thank u sir.

Hello house, i was scheduled for B1/B2 visa interview next month but i'm considering rescheduling the appointment as i have other important commitments in the country.

Question:

Is it possible to schedule the appointment for later in the year, say October, since i already stated in my application form that intended date of travel is March?

Hmm. Even if na gold. Lol
I have an idea of the post but I can't remember everything. I'll try my best
1. Read the thread. Knowledge is the root source of confidence
2. Take charge of the interview. Find a way to take attention toward your strength. Take for example, if you have traveled to say Ghana, let it show that that travel was for a purpose egs
"yes, I traveled in 2017 to Ghana for my annual vacation to see the scene outside Nigeria"- in my ultimo opinion it shows you like vacationing
Or " yes, for a conference on.... ". This would be useful if you are going for a conference.

Now you may not have travel history. And your strength is in your job tie. Your answer could turn the interview toward that. For example
" No I haven't been able to travel. My job as the manager of ABC hotels has not allowed me. But I have groomed someone that can temp while I am away"
Shows a sort of structure in the office and responsibilities on your part.
NB: don't cram the above. These are mere examples. Find what works for your circumstance.

For me. After I was refused for no travel history and as a single gal, my circumstances changed. I answered like this
Q: Why is your husband not traveling with u?
A: Because we just came back from the UK and he cant take more time off work
Q: (body language loosened. Went thru my passport) oh you have traveled...
The interview could have ended without the fellow asking me if I had travelled. I could have also answered that my husband was busy only. But I made sure to use that opportunity to steer the interview to my strength.

Finally look smart and nice. Don't overdo. Mimic the body language of the interviewer. Smile if he smiles. Be merely pleasant if he isn't. Don't form Phonèy. Don't mumble. Accept any outcome. God has a plan for you either way

Hello the good house.Please if one has been denied before and reapply without travel history is it possible for them to be given visa?considering the fact that it was hussy,wife and the last child out of 4 children that went for the interview the first time.Now they want to change the combination to only parents or the whole family.Can that be considered as a change in their circumstances?Kindly help throw more light on this as they want to reapply for Easter.Thank you.

plz sis, I have completed my form and booked my appointment for late next month. I fill my uncles address as whr to stay but am considering changing it, I wish to stay in an hotel.. Can i still go back and change anything?

Greetings all,

I have this question, i was denied student visa twice sometimes year 2011 but then i was single and my explanation with the VOs were not really coherent which i believed occasioned my reasons for being refused. Now am married with a good job and i have a soon to be four year old boy, we want to go for vacation during next long holiday for just two weeks, pls do i need to register a new email address and also get a new DS 160 form and what else do i need to do? Hence, we have virgin passports.... Hope that wont be an issue

LadyGuinivere:
Welcome to part 3 of this thread, Like the Phoenix, Part 2 must go down for part 3 to be born (Although the info in Parts 1 and 2 remain priceless and Must/Ought to be read by any serious applicant.Part 2 was wonderful.

Thank you.

LadyG how are you? I opened a ds 160 form in a cyber café. I only filled the first page but then decided not to proceed because I needed to get more info. I was asked a security question which I answered a password which noted down. Now I don't want to go back to the cybercafe and I want to use my laptop. Will I be able to open a fresh form without any implications or will I have to compulsorily go back to that cyber cafe?
