allen0000:

Thank you shinejackie and sorry for disturbing, I have another question, which where and how do I upload my photos as I have finish filling the form and about to sign and submit, but did not see any space on where to attached my passport...........please help

igmatt2002:

Sorry about your denial! The key to getting your non immigrant visa to United States of America is your Ds - 160 form. They already know if you are qualified for a visa even before your scheduled interview day through the Ds - 160 form you filled and submitted prior to your interview. The consular officers don't know who you are but the little information given on the Ds - 160 form. You might want to consult a professional to guide you through when you decide to reapply perhaps after 200 days. Goodluck!

Thanks for ur engaging response Bro. The thing is that my intention to attend the conference, though secondary, is real. I plan to do both: attend the conference and purchase the items which will be too bulky to airfreight; it will be shipped by sea. It's next year i'm looking at to travel.

Yes. I had travelled to india for surgery in 2010. I had also travelled to Ghana last year on a visit to the school i had wanted to do my Msc before i decided otherwise.

I'm just looking at an easy way to do the both in the state, without being denied the visa. A friend suggested that conference will be my best option, as my business has not been incorporated yet. He suggested that since i'm being Paid monthly by my publisher/marketer, i should use that as evidence of my source of income. However, the amount i'm paid monthly isn't specific: 140k,130k,120 and sometimes 100k depending on the generated sales.

Also. When i newly started my program, i had inquired from my lecturer on the easiest way to get appointed as a lecturer. He advised that i had to make above 4.5 in my Msc, in addition to writing and publishing researched academic papers on popular journals; as well as attending scholarly workshops/seminars/conferences. He said all these would make me stand out among the crowd when i apply for the job. He finally said attending foreign based seminars would be a gr8 added advantage. So since then, i have been building my CV; I have published 2 academic papers on scholarly journals and attended 2 conferences with one professional workshop. So you can see that attending the conference will add value to my CV towards improving my chances for a possible appointment..

Pls with all these, do i stand a chance?

chincomiowon:

Oh no, I mean I should also put in for the visa too, and this was not part of the discussion I had with the CO.
I gave him all my work schedule as stated in the DS-160 form but he should not expect me to say it the way it was listed in the form, may be that was where the prb is I can't say.

chincomiowon:

She got there through DV Lottery and her husband has joined her, and they are blessed with a baby last year.Funny enough my mum just came back and I thought I should also give it a trial.
I said I give response to parents and students enquiries.

eurogee:
@thegreengonner,
i dont understand how you mean but the truth remains that ur right. I actually want go and purchase some highly lucrative items that are bound to fetch me some big bucks all to complement my source of income which is solely from books. So i just wanted to use the conference thing as a gateway to get to the states, make my purchases and return to Naija since i dont have an incorporated business name. That is my intention and i intend to return as soon as possible cuz my spouse and my son cant even stay a moment without me. And i love them so much.
What is ur suggestion now Bro?

Royals1:

eurogee:
Hi able forumites, greetings. Pls i implore the pros here to respond to this questions. I'm an Msc student here in Naija. I have also authored two books that enable me to earn on average N120,000 monthly since 2012. My current savings is a little above N850,000. I'm married with a kid, and my wife is an undergraduate student. Pls how easy is it for me to get a conference visa to usa? Should I tell them my marketer is the one that'll sponsor the trip. Or should i tell them it's gonna be self-funded? Plsssssssss help me on this? Thanks

My cousin just secured her visa to the usa today for a conference where she is billed to present a paper. This is her first time traveling out of Nigeria. Please what are the likely immunization shots she should have before she travels so she won't be bounced back at the airport like our SA friends did some time ago... Your help is urgent because she travels out next week. Thanks all
