As-Is from the comments he made.
She's retired and earns income from Pension.
She has a business selling clothes to workers and earns income.
What makes you extremely certain her clothes business doesn't outpace her pension?
And you BOLDLY TYPE "NO ACTIVE SOURCE OF INCOME" LIKE YOU ARE THE FAMILY'S FINANCIAL ANALYST.

Padding up stuff. I'm reminding you all to encourage them to fill ds AS IS .

If he used retired originally, then it is retired. We all know they earn pensions. Pensions. So what side business such as selling clothes matter after ur retired from an active job? U think VOs are fools?

He should look at other viable areas in the second application. Even artisans dey get visa wen ur straight up. Whats the big deal

Bkoks:
Yes, she has me. But there is only one selection for occupation. That’s why I want to know if I should fill I’m retired or business?

Fill it AS IS. Her side business isn't formal. She's retired. The Nigerian system of retired. Do it AS IS . You manipulate the old woman's means of livelihood, they gonna dwell on there and hunger for clarification. You going to be there with her at the interview?

My two cents

fkj950ax:


Business will be my suggestion, then add the income from monthly FG/Pension to an estimated monthly income from Business to show her cash liquidity monthly even as a senior citizen.

LOL. Why don't you let the lad do the DS 160 AS IS. She's actually retired. No active source of income. Oya, fill it out like that again ooo. They will give them a visa.

Don't mind them boys. They just being silly.

Thumbs up, @seyewest

Do note you are free and in your rights to send anyone PM, find Agent and use, or whatever you DECIDE to do.

But this Thread TRIES to uphold a culture of getting a B1/B2 LEGITIMATELY and use the same for the intended purpose according to the rules of the B1/B2 Visa.

So don't see the comments as directed at you. I am personally interested in contributing to your NIV process as many others here. If you feel you can work with the people here, then the floor is open. If you don't want to. The floor is open.

I got my B1/B2 here. I aced my interview from comments here. JFK PoE was simple and a breeze from info here (other thread). My three weeks stay in NY and DC was superb from comments too. I picked airline to use based on comments. My Dubai transit was simple based on comments from here.

Gbam! Correct!

I just pity pple who send you mail.
Na u sabi how to cut corners ba

It's not a cut-cornering thing. That's an intelligent message. You can tell people how to work on a form that determines their eligibility. Why? You have substantial knowledge and experience with regards to that effort. That's what I obviously see in the person's epistle. That's his job. That's his area of expertise and there's nothing wrong with that.

Let people come and file testimonies. Simple as ABCD.

What na? Are these interview transcripts ni? Biko, this is no entertainment.

Hi guys. Been a silent reader for a very long time now.

I went for my interview yesterday and got DENIED.

Location : Lagos. V. I.
Scheduled Time : 6:45 am

I arrived as early as possible. Got my documents ready and was advised to take a 2x2 passport photo which was quite different from the one I came with. I was charged 2k for 6 copies though.

The time for checking in and screening came, we filed into the reception, got our international passports checked and tagged at the back with a white paper that bore our respective names and codes. We sat patiently on each seats and waited for the next move.

I got in contact with some little lovelies (kids). They're twins though. Aged 3. They came with their mom. 2 minutes later, the kids were all over me, asking my name. I told them with a smile and BOOM they started singing it. They'd prefix it with "bro" before my name. I laughed hard and every other persons kept laughing at their hilarious display. They left their mum and clung unto me throughout our stay there.

We headed into the main building for the next phase of screening. The kids didn't let go of me. I was then a father figure to them. They forgot their mom who trailed behind with a wide grin and laughter. She had no option.

Here in the big interview hall, those kids kept screaming my name "bro xxxxx". Ah! It was very loud that people kept laughing all through.

Are you their father? They asked. No, I'm not, sir, ma.

My passport and photo were collected and scanned. I waited patiently to collect it and queue on the line for biometrics. Their mom held them tightly this time for my privacy. Immediately, I withdrew from the window 6, brandishing my passport and other items, those lovelies jump on my body, screaming at the top of their voices " bro xxxx, bro xxxx, he is back".

I laughed heavily.

Time for the biometrics came, I went. Met a white lady who was very friendly on the window 1.

"Your left fingers please". She said. I placed them.

"Are you alone?". Yes.

"Are those your kids"?. I then looked back and saw those angels. They held on my thigh and was screaming my name again, saying I had left them. Then I told the white lady that they're not my kids, they came with the other lady. She laughed and asked why they were following and singing my name. I said that's how today turned out. She laughed and said "you're gonna have a hell of kids in your home". We laughed together and I went to queue in for the main interview. The babies had their biometrics done and rushed to me again.

"Uncle, are you traveling to the USA with us", they asked me. I said yes. Their mum said of course, yes. He's coming with us. They jumped up with laughter. To cut the story short, they disturbed me with series of questions that made everyone laugh out loud.

The lady on window 6 that checked out passports came out and asked " who's this uncle xxxx". The babies mum pointed at me. She approached me as said "you're a lucky man. I heard you just met them outside". I said YES. Then, she walked away.

It was my turn for the interview, I motioned the babies to join their mum. I walked to window 6 where I met a white guy.

Vo:Good morning, sir. He said
Good morning, sir.

Where are you going to?

Houston, Texas.

Why?

Vacation

What do you do?

I'm a Sales executive in ****. I explained further. And further.

Do you have a relative?

Yes. Her name is *** *** ***.

OK, have you traveled before?

No, sir. But ***

YOU DO NOT QUALIFY FOR ************ (Here, I off). A yellow paper was tendered to me alongside my passport.

Excuse me sir, why am I not eligible, please.

He looked at me and said "You do not have a travel history.

I collected the paper and left.

And to the op that said, you shouldn't chat away, or be stringent and all. No be by muscle bro. It's by his grace and your "content".

That lady whose babies disturbed me had a valid Visa, her husband is in the US, her son is in the US too. She just came down to pick these ones to join the rest of the family. The little kids were denied too alongside a whole lot of people who has valid reasons of visiting the US.

A guy was denied too. He had been to UAE, France, Dubai, China, etc. What do you have to say about this?

There was this man that was issued a visa yesterday. He travels every month. He had been to Netherlands, USA, France China, UK, Germany, a whole lot of countries. From his statement, he was in Spain in December, UK in January, France in November. (Bros, I fear). Country no d finish for where the man dey. He was issued. He stays just weeks in each country.

You are a fine writer! It's a good narrative. We appreciate it. Sorry about the outcome.

SmartKitty:

If it was a male, they would approve a man over 50-60 years old because it's not easy to start the new life in US for a man at this age. Even an American woman wouldn't marry the foreign man this age, he can't find a decent job in America unless he is a high class scientist or businessman.

What are you talking about? SHE DESERVED IT. SHE'S A SCHOLAR, WENT AROUND EUROPE, EARNS GOOD MONEY AND IS DAMN DISCIPLINED.

AMERICANS WANT GENUINE VISITORS IN THEIR COUNTRY. FOLKS WHO HAVE REAL, CONSEQUENTIAL BUSINESS TO DO IN THERE.

SHE'S A CAREER WOMAN. NO TIME FOR MARRIAGE YET LOL

oluayebenz:



If your in Lagos I wish you the best but if outside Lagos will advice you dont bother going. Honestly you have no chance.
Your purpose of visit is even zero

Meaning that Abuja is bad for a US VISA INTERVIEW?

viperVIP:

viperVIP:


Done and Denied!

Just 3 questions.

Q1. Purpose of trip.
Ans: to visit my friend and for tourism purposes.

Q2. What do you do?
I'm a computer technician at OOUTH and I have a personal business of home renovations _cuts in_

Q3. How long have you been in your current job?
Ans: 5 years _cuts in_

I'm sorry I cannot approve your visa at this time.

_Here's my observation, most renewals and most applicants around 50 years were approved at least in my presence_

UK straight.......done with US.
First denial was 2012.
Now this is the second.

Just painful I had to leave Ibadan to Abuja

Sorry, sir. Sent you a PM. or you can drop your email. i want to follow up and offer remedial advice... Again, Sorry

JackieP:


Embassy sources however hinted of the possibility that the popular preacher might have made some calls to individuals that would intervene on his behalf and the visa eventually issued.

This indicates that the call has already been made and visa already issued. Were you taught English language in school?

It's you who's making urself appear like a poor student of the English language. Shikena

More transcripts and narratives please

Spanishmilf:
Quote shortly...... Pls

but of course, we can find entertainment in the stunts and bull craps of that dude aAfonjaBoston or who sef

slicksonplay:

UhnNah:

micluv111:


What do you mean by critical stage?

With the situation at that embassy right now, I believe Nigerians passport is blacklisted, reason why I said that is the man before me came for renewer and his last visit to US was last year and spend just 10 days, he was denied with no reason, everybody was surprised. You will clearly hear the conversations between applicants and the VO.
The few approval is just oju aye lol

Out of over 50 applicants before me were rejected, do you think none of them have good reasons to visit ? What of students ?

I agree with you. It is very bad. Very bad.
By the way, can you tell me what you mean by The few approvals is just "oju aye." Like they gave them because of people's opinions. Please, educate me on that cool phrase. I love it lol

slicksonplay:
Visa Denied.

Sorry about that! Sorry. But how'd it go?

Would you please share transcripts of your conversation between yourself and the VO?

micluv111:


Yes vacation
Scheduled for April and that's not winter season.

WELL, I think they are, at this critical stage, looking for legitimate, very significant reasons/purposes for people to visit the USA. Did you mention Easter Celebration or something significant or just vacation in NY in April?

Me thinks the embassy just want "high-value" visitors to the USA. Coz I believe on every account, ur qualified for that visa! Maybe not just over the purpose of your visit at the coming moment in time. Do u understand what I'm driving at?

micluv111:


Lagos

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

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.

Sorry about this. Sorry.
If I may, this took place in Lagos or Abuja?

Use a booking agent. Its cheaper & safer.[/quote

Contact seyewest. Wonderful, honest guy.

safetyman:


I haven't confirmed my interview yet. I saw the date and stopped. What happens to my DS 160 form? How long does the system keep my forms? Also hope there's no panalty ?

I think in a case where you haven't submitted and confirmed the DS 160, the online form will keep for no more than 30 calendar days (regular days, not business days) before you turn it in patapata. However, in your case where you have already turned it in and confirmed, I am not sure what happens if you do not go for interview in time.

Let the gurus answer.
