Good evening all. Just started following this travel section late last year. We were at the embassy in Jan 2017 as a family and we were denied. Here goes our transcript :
Vo: Goodmorning
Hubby: Goodmorning
Vo: passport pls
Hubby gives him all four passport
Vo noticed my hubby just renewed his 2yrs UK visa and he took his passport and went to check something out.
Vo: directed his question at me have you travelled outside the country before?
Me:yes pls
Vo: When?
Me: 2014
Vo: Where
Me:UK
Vo took our passport and confirmed the previous travel visa.
Vo: What are you going to do in the US?
Hubby: we re going get on vacation
VO: Where?
Hubby:Houston
Vo: Any family in Houston?
Hubby:No
Vo: What would you do there
Hubby : we would visit bla bla bla
Vo: what do you do
Hubby: I work with bla bla
Vo: as what
Hubby:Sales manager
Vo: typing as he was asking and drinks from a water bottle while just staring at us
Vo:How much do you earn
Hubby: bla bla I also earn commission and quarterly pay amounting to bla bla
Vo: So ma'am what do you do
Me: I work with bla bla bla as bla
Vo: How much do you earn
Me: I told him
Vo: How much do you plan for this trip?
Hubby: without think said 3.5M
Vo: How much do you have in your bank account now
Hubby : 1.8 as at today but I have my quarterly payment for 2 quarters which will come in this week and will raise my Bal to 4.2.
Vo drank again and asked me ma'am can you confirm for me how much your husband has for this trip(I just sensed something wasn't right) I confirm same amount.
Vo :So how is business right now?
Hubby :said business was fine bla bla bla
Vo: looked at the four of us and said am sorry but you do not qualify for a visa today and hands over the blue paper. Hubby was stunned
We had promised our kids we would take them to the US in April 2017 during the Easter period and my kids didn't understand we were not given visa, they just want a vacation. So I applied for UK visa along with my kids since my hubby had already and we went to the UK for our Easter vacation.
Now we're ready to visit again this time in summer. I want to change our destination to Disney land florida, would this raise any question on why the change of destination and is our ties strong enough to get the visa because we re still going as a family.
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 3 by Paulscholari(m): 10:35pm On Mar 19, 2018
Hello.. Someone helped me to apply the first time and now I want to apply again, will I create another profile or continue with the one that was used during the first time, even though I don't have the log in details.

Hmmm...maybe, maybe not.

Many applicants seems to be using that place very frequently lately. Just hoping it's not being overused even with people who have no real intentions of going there but just want to use it for visa purposes.

Anyways, if your going to Disney World, Florida is genuine make sure that you have more than enough funds to make such an expensive trip especially going as a family.

All your ties is in Nigeria which is a good thing... I personally do not see you as an intending immigrant... My advice for you is to be honest and answer the question truthfully.... if they asked why you're not a british citizen yet you can always tell them both of you are not ready for the stress involve in doing it.

looks like the above is where everything went wrong. You can't conceivably be spending more than 70% of your bank balance on a few days vacation, especially when you have kids.

I was denied with my family this year January due to travel history said by people commenting on my transcript
I just want to ask a question I'm thinking of taking my family for Easter vacation and I have south Africa and dubai in mind Which of this country can I go with my family to be boosting my travel history
my own opinion I think South Africa is more preferable than Dubai cos South Africa visa will be placed on ur visa but Dubai visa is an E visa and it won’t be placed on ur passport.

You should reapply as family again and try to trim the amount for the trip and be on the same page as per amount needed for the trip.
