It's well. Please, what's the purpose of the 10-day visit to NY? Did you want to go on vacation this winter?

No matter what, they have no reason denying him that visit visa.
I will advise everyone to stay away from applying for U.S visa in Nigeria for now.

Which call
If na ghana embassy I strongly agree, but Yankee embassy which call Oyedepo wan get.
Except Consulars are also taking Bribe, u no see wetin dem use atiku do before giving him visa

I paid us visa fee July 2019 and I had delay in renewing my passport due to NIN issue and in that process passport got lost. I had to cancel the appointment. I have reschedule and apply for B1 now with same Visa fee payment i tried to fill new DS-160 Under passport information, I filled my old passport details so that the passport number on profile, appointment and DS-160 form will correspond but got the ffg error message :Expiration Date cannot be earlier than today. How can I proceed?

Matinho:
If them deny him then who I be? (In Burna boys voice)

Just imagine nonsense.

That embassy is just disgracing Nigerians. We need to chill and stop applying to the US embassy

Spanishmilf:

You know nothing.

Hmm

Nada! Oyedepo that probably has VP’s number,VP has consul general’s contact and someone thinks he can’t get his visa denial overturned to approved with a ‘phone call’?!

micluv111:
I had my interview moments ago.

Vo: Good morning
Myself: morning
Vo: Where are you going in the US
Myself: New york
Vo: How long?
Myself: 10 days
Vo: What do you do
Myself: I own a business, I sell foreign feed additives for poultry, pig and catfish and some agricultural machinery.
Vo: Have you travel outside the country before
Myself: Yes
Vo: where?
Myself: Canada and south Africa
Vo: What do you do in Canada.
Myself: was there on vacation last year for 2 wks and also studied there in 2014
He just checked the visa very briefly, like he had decided already, I told him my expired study permit is here if he will like to check but said never mind,
Types a few minutes and asked Are you married?
Myself: Yes
Vo: how many kid
Myself: one
Next was sorry I cant approved your visa right now.

I dont feel bad because with the rejections I saw today, it shows that embassy dont just want to issue visa anymore, I'm scheduled for 6:45am and I just stayed at the back to see the situations, out of 50 people in front of me none was given, the reciprocity fee cubicle was empty.
I think Nigerians should chill for that embassy for now please.

Infact my interview is even longer, those interviewers was making the queue going really fast, just two questions next is rejection paper.

If you have a virgin passport and thinking of applying just keep that money, you have no chance.

Those that have travel histories to some Asian and African countries, your chances is very very slim maybe none sef.

Note: my last interview before this was 2017 which was also rejected,
I was asked almost same questions then but the lady said I wont approve you now but you can reapply anytime if you want, I just chill US embassy and apply to Canada which was approved in just 3 days
I even have valid 2yrs UK visa

As for me, I'm done with the US embassy, no reason for the rejections, the rejection paper said no tie which I'm sure I have, Good business, family, assets, travel histories and more.
Or maybe because of my young age, I have no idea.
I look very young and have no intention to stay at all, even my vacation to Canada last year for 2 weeks I got tired with calls from clients, cant leave the business for one months sef.

I won't want to undermine the embassy though, but going by your transcript and profile, you mostly should have nailed this with just little margin for denial. But we no dey know finish!

Meanwhile, I go still tell you, una wey dey support the disaster GMB, una no dey go different market or EMBASSY from us. This refusal (and so many others of late) is a whole lot related to what this current government has turned the country into. Till 5-6 years ago here sef, everywhere still soft for that embassy, ordinary Ghana, SA or and UAE travel history still dey work that time. But una see una na?

Transcript

My visa expired in May 2019 and my wife's was February 2019.
We were living outside the country and applied for a Canadian visa in Dec 2018.We got the visa in January 2019 but was for only 5 months.It was processed under CAN+.They tied it to the US visa validity.
Since I didn’t have plans for the US at that time,the Canadian visa wasn’t used.
My visa expired in May 2019.I had a conference to attend in November.
I paid the visa fees for me and madam in July and filled ds 160.
I had a dilemma,my passport is expiring in March.I tried severally to renew my passport in lagos but the NIN was so difficult to get.I woke up at 4am several times but will meet a full list at Eti Osa local government.
I even drove to Abeokuta to get a new passport until I got info that the 6 month validity didn’t apply to visa interviews hence applied with the old one.I have not picked my new passport due to this interview.
I got a date for November few days to the conference.However at the embassy ,we were turned back due to a discrepancy on the Ds 160 codes.Apparently the system generated the prior visit codes of 2017.I begged and begged no help.I was disappointed and shattered.
I wrote several mails for an expedited visa interview date but didn’t get any respite.
So I went to usdocs and got another date January 2020.It was far and my conference was expired.

So today the day came.We misplaced our receipts and had to use those urchins to get a new one printed at 3k per copy.It was so stressful as we had to wake up early and rush to the embassy.
After linning up outside,we did security checks and sat down for another one hour to queuing up again,we did the finger prints and finally was on line to be interviewed.

There were many fast denials especially for virgin passports,single applicants and prior overstayers.Some could not speak English and the VO tried to speak pidgin but it didn’t still fly,they were not given.Many with travel history and good jobs and good articulation and presentation skills got their visas.

Another group that had issues were previous birthers who got discounts or escaped payments.Some husbands were asked for receipts of births of their children even after applying alone.Most were refused.

So it was our turn.VO a young man in his 30s.
VO:Let me have your passports if you want to travel to the USA.
Me:We passed it along.
VO:why are you travelling to the usa
Me:We are going on vacation in June at Texas and New York.We will cousins in Texas.We have never been down south before and we use to visit often in Queens.Later in the year, we will attend a conference in Chicago during the winter.
VO:will u be attending the conference with your wife.
Me:yes.
VO:how many weeks for the June trip
ME:2 weeks
VO: (to wifey),what do u do for work.
Madam:business.i am into rentals.
VO: Is it property rentals or events.
Wife:event and catering rentals.
VO:you are a doctor?Where do u work?
Me;Told him >>>>>Healthcare Limited
VO:how much do you earn?
Me:Told him.Not to fat and not small(don’t want wahala so allow me,but above the national average)
VO:DO you have any children.
Madam: Yes we do .We have 3.
VO:Were they all born in Nigeria
Madam:yes
VO:You answered too slowly.
ME:All Nigeria born at Ibadan.
VO:which other countries have u visited
Me:UK,South Africa,Egypt,Turkey,India,Saudi Arabia,Brazil,Germany and France
VO:What is the longest stay in the USA?
Wife:One month in 2015
I interjected,I was a visiting scholar at the University Of Michigan at Ann Arbor at the time period
VO:I will issue you the visa.Do you have the reciprocity fees for the two of you.
Us;Yes we do.
We went to the cashier line where they made rules that only one person can pay on behalf of family.

Observation:on arrival there were like 10 people on the line for the reciprocity payment.
As at the time I was paying,we were only two.
The process is getting very hard.
Its becoming very difficult and almost impossible for young unmarried folks with virgin passports.Anyone should still try but i will prefer if you assess yourself you can stand back and get more ties.
God will heal our land.AMEN.

Please,i need people's opinion
How many times can you visit the US in a year without the CBP raising concerns?
I know Europe does not frown at how often you come to their territory . Is this applicable to US too?

As many times as you wish and can afford.

But the question is, what is the cause of your multiple repeat trips. Any government authority will like to know.
Then you will be spending more time in the year "visiting" their country than actually living in your base country, so it throws the issue of aren't you working or earning a living to be away that much.

Congratulations. Bon voyage when you do travel.

1st bold worked for me too.

2nd bold is for me in my own opinion gives you good edge.

I have been to the US twice and the most recent being Dec 2019. And on each visit,i did not spend more than 12 days.
Reason for the proposed multiple trips does not have a strong base. I mean it is just to catch the endless fun in that country.
I work,i am a business owner and my business is the kind that wont let me be away for too long.
