Sorry for all
However you were denied for ties as they said.
All the factors you mentioned do not contribute to ties.
Tanzania does not count as well

@bayoola, transcript in here has shown that Tanzania will discount the eligible counts.

I don't get??

Guys, this is the update from my visa that the vo said it will take a longer time.

I think it's getting positive gradually

Sorry Lady G, but when you say ties, is a job not a tie as well?

it's a tie but you can abandon it and seek another job in U.S

Oh okay

seyewest:


Your earlier submission did not come across well next time make it clearer. There's really no big deal in using you maiden name.

Noted....Thanks for the respond.

You are spending more time on your DS 160 than the given time...TIME FRAME

petemail2all:
I have been having this constant "session times out" while filling out a ds 160 form. I wanna know if anyone is having any same issue, or it's my network......

Someone please help me!!!


Am trying to schedule interview but at step 8, it is saying ''No valid record can be found for the entered receipt number. Please validate that your receipt number is correct and that you have paid the correct amount for the visa which you are applying for.

Please what can I do?

When did you make the payment? Did you know there's a time frame for your receipt to get 'matured' b4 you can use it? I'd suggest you try again after 9am tomorrow... hope you paid the right amount and keying in the right digits too?

if the number is correct, you have probably exhausted it by cancelling it twice. There's always a warning on the final attempt I think?

Please did I say that? The vo said it him/herself.

The VO was not satisfied. That is why I never comment on chances. Rather I ask you to weigh all your combo of ties by yourself.
If however thou get refused, let there be a significant change. Going to non visa or easy visa same status as Nigeria countries don't count

THIS IS THE PROBLEM:
vo: unfortunately you do not av strong ties to bla bla...&she brought out d blue paper

You don't have strong ties according to the VO. If you reappear and nothing has changed from your last interview, it may result in the same verdict.
Ties include anything that will make you come back to Nigeria e.g.
- Marital situation
- Children
- Finances
- Properties
- Work
Travel history is not a tie. So don't bother trying to get one for the sake of the interview.
Also note
- having a family in the US, constitutes a tie to the US.

Family ties. One of u is having much family to U.S compare to Nigeria. Well u can't start looking for a new job for d sake of Visa and Tanzania as a travel history "might" not move the next VO. Travel history or no travel history. Anytime Change occur in family ties or work tie could help

A pleasant morning to you all
Pls in filling My ds-160 form, can I use MY Uncle (Dads Younger Bro ) who lives in U.S and also sponsoring My Trip as an immediate Relative In The U.S?
thanks
Someone pls answer Me I beg o

No. Not as immediate relative. If you select yes, u only see spouse, sibling and I think child. So select NO and you will be asked if you have any other relative, then u choose yes.

Thanks a lot, I am greatful for the clarification

no not sure i willbe trying again till i am married,i guess that was what got me refused.

classyfabrics:


Sorry about that, give it a try again, you will get through.

Your shirt was pink with sripes right, If am not mistaken? I was on a grey suit.

I am going for a health conference, so the questions I was asked were clinical questions asides from 'if I had ever traveled out before and which my answer was no, and how I got to know about the conference.

Thank you all ladyGuinivere, honeyoluwatoyin, seyewest and sugah I am ready go to their office to complain bitterly about their incompetence hopefully the tickets can be changed to Qatar airways ticket.if the tickets can't be changed I will give royal air a chance because I'm travelling next week .I will share my experience here.God bless you all

Lol. That's the spirit. Keep a very open mind. That's the way to enjoy your trip.

But your uncle shouldn't be sponsoring ur trip except ure under 18. But if ure above and he is, you shouldn't state it. Use self as person sponsoring your trip.

the VO will ask "what do u do for a living? " if he doesn't have any work tie to sponsor nko?

Please have they increase visa fee from 64K to 108k.? I mean for B1B2

Haba na!

The same internet you used to post this question would have been put to better use checking the OFFICIAL Website for ACCURATE INFORMATION!

Correct answer.

that someone is over 18 doesn't mean that they should have millions in their bank accts to afford them travel to wherever they want. He won't be the first person to have someone sponsor his trip. If he has an uncle willing to sponsor him, he should indicate it to the VO rather than lying and complicating issues for himself. My aunty just sponsored her childhood friend who is over 18 years to the U.S. She has sponsored friends and relatives over 18 over the past years. As long as he is able to convince the vo that he doesn't intend on migrating... he will do just fine at the interview
