Seyewest, Omobendel please kindly advise on this Biko Holla3110: Please I know this is not the right thread and Nigerians are not eligible to participate in America DV visa lottery but I will like to ask if a Nigerian can participate when married to a foreign wife, is it possible for the wife to apply as the principal applicant when the husband is still carrying a Nigerian passport? @omobendel and Seyewest and any other Guru should kindly advise. |

Sure, if your wife’s country is a qualified one for the lottery and she’s the principal applicant, then you guys are in order.... It is you that cannot be a principal applicant! |

Ebalu953: So I promised to enlighten others when I figure this out. If you need to change anything or upload your passport photograph (very compulsory) on your ds160 form, just go to the website, put in your details then click fill another form. All your details will automatically go to this new form. Change all you want to then submit. A confirmation page will be sent to you with a new ds160 confirmation number. Now go to where you schedule appointment and update this number carefully and save then go to print appointment confirmation n click printable version (check the number under the barcode to make sure it tallies with the new ds160 confirmation number. Make sure you go with the new ds160 appointment page and confirmation page. As easy as ABC! You don't need to pay another fees! Cheers! Note: Any update must be done like a week before your appointment if not you would be sent back! You deserve a Green Card... Nice info. Great feedback. Excellent Follow Up Quality you got there |

Hello guys. Wish I had found this thread before.So much good advice.
Ok. So I am a Nigerian citizen and have had a US Visa since I was 17. I am 34 now and married with a child. I always do dropbox renewal. My wife has a virgin passport and my child is just 2. Last year I was thinking about doing drop box renewal for myself as usual but also including my spouse and child in the dropbox process, but I wasnt sure about whether my spouse and child qualify, since they have never had a visa before, so I decided to do dropbox renewal myself and have my wife and child go for the interview process just to be sure. My own renewal was successful. My wife and child then had my passport with them complete with my US visa in it with them at the interview yesterday. My wife's DS 160 said we were going on a family vacation sponsored by me. My wife has a 4 year job at GTB and is married with a child(who was also applying for a fresh US visa too) unfortunately this was not enough to show strong ties. Im thinking I should have gone to the interview with them, because I am more convincing at that kind of thing. At the very least I should have had them try to do the renewal with me. Instead I sent them on their own to do interview. I feel responsible. I thought my wife being married to a US visa holder and having a good job would be enough for a family vacation. Now Im looking for advice on what to do. I have been given 6 options.
1) Wait 1 year and have your wife and child reapply again. In the meantime take a family vacation to Dubai or SA or Ghana so that your wife's passport has some stamps in it. It will also make more sense when you are applying since you would have been a family vacation before as opposed to it being your first time. Try to get your wife a promotion at GTB even though you are the one sponsoring the trip it will help. Also try to own some property. Also try to have another child. You will need something for her to show as a change of status at her next interview.
2) Wait until your current US visa expires and do the dropbox renewal with your wife and child.In the meantime take a family vacation to Dubai or SA or Ghana so that your wife's passport has some stamps in it. It will also make more sense when you are applying since you would have been a family vacation before as opposed to it being your first time.
3) Wait until your current US visa expires, instead of dropbox, go to the interview with your wife and child so that you can do the interview with them.In the meantime take a family vacation to Dubai or SA or Ghana so that your wife's passport has some stamps in it. It will also make more sense when you are applying since you would have been a family vacation before as opposed to it being your first time.
4) Reapply for your wife and child today. This time your wife has to be more vocally proactive while still being polite in the interview. This is risky though. Yes she is married but she has just one child who is also applying with her. The 1st VO was not convinced they would ever come back. The 2nd VO will want to agree with the 1st VO. This is a risky one. Before reapplying I must repeat I think it is best if you should take a family vacation to Dubai or SA or Ghana so that your wife's passport has some stamps in it. It will also make more sense when you are applying since you would have been a family vacation before as opposed to it being your first time.
5) reapply immediately but only for your child, leave your wife out for now. Let your wife be a tie for the child.
6) reapply immediately but only for your wife, leave your child out for now. Let your child be a tie for her.
Which options do you think are best? I donot like 5 and 6 at all. Thanks in advance. |

Which options do you think are best? I donot like 5 and 6 at all. Thanks in advance. Option 1 works for me, especially if you can make a trip out still around the normally proposed dates for the US visit. If you can push for a much more better visa, cool. Like get a UK visa (I think you guys have a profile that fits their template, then fly Emirates or Etihad squeezing in a few days stopover in the UAE) and visit there. Or get a schengen visa and see as much as you can see of the member states on one trip. |

@Mr traxsta, from a close person experience, even if you go with them for another it won't fly What my person did was go to Dubai, Rwanda and also got u. K visa for the whole family then re-applied after 7 months and visa was granted, no need for work promotion,. The first question I was asked in my case was if we have all gone on family vacation together and answer was yes and Visa granted, one hand on my first visa back then 2011 oo |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Nobody: 4:06pm On Apr 24, 2019 |
Thanks my brothers and sister(Omobendel24,seyewest,blackfinegirl,damilekan). I appreciate una. I have also traveled to UAE and UK on business during the last 5 years but my wife's passport is completely empty. It is a virgin passport. From all the answers option 3 described below seems to be the best/safest, as difficult as it maybe. I will try to get my wife and child a France,Canada,Australia or UK visa. Then have her reapply while the visa is still valid. It seems like the most sure fire option. seyewest:
If I was in your position I won't take any of the following and my reason for this, is listed below;
1) If you re-apply with your family, you may not be issued another visa (because you're applying with your ''ties'') 2) I'm okay with you doing dropbox renewal on your own 3) I believe for you to convince the next V.O you or your wife (Including the child) must go for vacation or visit a Western Country in Europe, Australia, Canada, South Korea and Japan and your wife must reapply for U.S visa while the visit visa for vacation is still valid or has expired within 6 months 4) Your wife can actually applies for training abroad through her work place (That means you will both apply for your kid when she returns) 5) You can actually follow your wife to the embassy but I think it will show desperation on your part 6) Have you traveled to another country apart from U.S in last 5 yrs? 7) What is your wife travel history

I will try and follow suit. Just to be clear: So your advice is to get the whole family a UK Visa. Do a family trip to Dubai. (Hope the family trip does not have to be UK as well?) Let my wife and child try again on their own. |
