A person born in the United States to a foreign diplomatic officer accredited to the United States is not subject to the jurisdiction of United States law. Therefore, that person cannot be considered a U.S. citizen at birth under the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution.

Your best bet would have been to go the PR route but then again after a long period of "abandonment" in your case was not even activated, You lose it. Your best bet is to go in front of a VO and prove you have strong ties to Nigeria via a NIV[/b]

NothingDoMe:
Traveling to the US to celebrate the birthday of your baby is not a strong enough reason. The child is not old enough to appreciate the gesture.
Only you know how to describe your business because you are the one doing it.
Your financial ties are too flexible to encourage you to return. Your family tie is non-existent since you will be traveling with them.

They’re denying entry into the US to pple who have stayed in the US for up to 5 months on their US visiting visa and they’re denying it straight from Mutala Mohammed Airport. It happened to a friend's mum, she spent 5 months in the US on her last visit. The airline refused to allow her board and directed her to the embassy, las las she was informed it was because of the duration of her last visit...not sure if the visa was later cancelled or revoked (don't have that info yet).

People, lets be careful...Trump is changing things e.v.e.r.y.d.a.y.
Just thought I should share it here.

20k USD may seem like an over the top budget to you. Per American standard without health insurance 20k no reach to born and take care of 5 people inclusive feeding , accommodation, shopping/vacationing.

If it was just just you, it may have been a 50-50. The fact the VO was standing, sitting, eating, you were the last or first person of the day doesn't have anything to do with the denial. There are people who have been approved and they were the last applicant still in building after closing time

Give it a second shot

eribooboo:

How in this world does someone "go visiting/tourism" for 5 whole months in another country? Does the person not have a job, family, home/pet/garden/lawn/grocery to maintain?

I wish I can stay pass 3-4 weeks in Nigeria/Europe/Asia when visiting. My body just starts to itch and I start to feel like am missing something.

How do people do it ? I need tips I beg I really do mbok

Iyamilele:
Hello all,

I recently had my interview, my intention was to give birth in Texas, so we applied as a Family, we were 5 in number(my hubby, me, my mum and my two kids) I decided to take my mum along to assist me over there with my 19months toddler and also when the baby is born (it would have been her first time of traveling with us eventhough she has travelled to Ghana twice). Our bank statement was way more than our budget.

Below is my transcript,

Kindly help find out what went wrong

Me and hubby: Good morning
V.O: Good morning, can i have your passports
V.O: all five of you are traveling
Me and Hubby: Yes
V.O: have you traveled as a family before?
Hubby: Yes, we have been to Dubai and also visited the UK and I have also been to the US
V.O: (flips through my husband's passport) what do you do?
Hubby: I'm a engineer with a Telecoms company
V.O: How long have you been there?
Hubby: 10 years
V.O: how much do you earn?
Hubby: told her
V.O: Madam what do you do
Me: Im a caterer i cater for events and parties
V.O: how much do you earn?
me: i told her
V.O: Do you have staffs?
me: Yes, 4 of them
V.O: why are you going to texas?
Hubby: We are going for Vacation and my wife is also going to give birth there
Me: Childbirth and Tourism
V.O: what is your budget for this trip
Me and Hubby: $20,000
V.O: Can i see your bank statement?
Hubby: ( He hands it over to her)
V.O: (she just scanned through and continues typing)
V.O: Sorry you are not qualified at the moment ( hands us the Pink paper)

We were among the last batch of people interviewed, I also noticed the V.O seems in a hurry to close for the day, because she didn't even sit while interviewing us.

Please Gurus in the house, help pinpoint what went wrong.

Thank you.

AZUH:
I thought ladyG said they don't check bank account balance.

sharpman1:


Oga.... go and sleep. You don't know jack about US visa processing and interview.

TheCongo2:


Oga, Azuh had never claimed he knows about US visa processing and interview.
He was only asking a question like most of the people on the thread.

seyewest:


So that is a valid question? If you've been on this thread, you will know, you must present a Bank Statement for Medical tourism and Student visa.

Good morning my Gems.
My name is Eugene and I was sent an invitation on the 5th of August. Part of the contents of the invitation was that 'he would be coming to spend his vacation with my family, although he would be having enough funds to cover his trip, I shall be responsible for his room and board'. I don't have a traveling experience and am a contract staff of a company operating under NLNG (Atlantic blue water services limited). Am married with two kids. Situation like this, what are my requirements necessary for this package. These are the reasons why I haven't paid for my visa card. Secondly, considering the date the invitation was sent, is it still appropriate to apply. My heroes I need an assistant. I will appreciate your up building comments. Thanks.

vista411:
Why must your friend book a hotel when she is going for a cousin's wedding?
She should be more concerned about her own ties. The visa officers will be more interested in knowing what will make her deport herself back to her home country after the wedding and not whether she stays in a hotel or not.

Maestro001:
Please I need help from any guru in the house ;I already have a profile on the Us embassy site but after logging in to start a new application ;a page pops up to tell me that I have to login or register before accessing the page;I don’t know why this is happening or if anyone has encountered such error message before ;a screen shot of the error message will be attached below for better clarification and understanding;please your kind responses will be appreciated.
