@weigher,

No, he probably might be gamble with your money, reason being that he works for US embassy not for the federal Govt that wants to send some people on a training, more so, such visa type demands that the applicants be present for a visa interview and subsequently thumb print before a visa can be issued.

The whole premises is quite unusual with red flag written all over the body.

@ suxes. u did not answer my question
i am asking if applying for one day conference is ok
or shld i go for a conference with longer days?

thanks

I'm sorry I did not get the questions earlier.

IMHO, applying for 1day conference aint good.
I will suggest you apply for at least 3-day conference
that is still better (2-day conf is good too).

Plus make sure you get the receipt of payment of your
conference before you go for your visa interview

SHALOM

^^^^^^^^^

Statement of account
Invitation letter
conference receipt payment (most pple dnt knw abt dis that's why they were refused)
intro letter from employer
leave letter from employer
landed documents / rent receipt
all other docus that you think might be helpful

SHALOM

@suxes2006
Hi, tx for helping pple.

we only intend to stay 1 week.
i have never travelled before.
he is the one sponsoring. what questions am i likely to be asked.
also i have everything except for my leave letter. ( i work in a bank)
ur prompt response will be aprc8ted.

@baby:
Honestly, I think the probability of getting a visa is low, If you husband is goin due to work, then why are you following him, ?? PLus you have alot of things working against you, but look when you get there, just dont look nervous and be articulate, explain that you would just like to go with your husband , Honestly, I dont see you getting it though, Goodluck


on a seperate note:

This guy claims to be an expert, He just dooped me of 650,000 naira. I am a student at St. kitts and He claimed he knows all the laws and requirements to travel to St. kitts without a transit visa, Needless to say , i was returned home after 5 days in the air and after paying 650,000, We are finding it hard to get a refund from him, THE trip was VERY STRESSFUL, I WAS ROUTED THROUGH THE WRONG PATH AND NEEDLESS TO SAY, he was CRYING WHEN MY DAD DEMANDED FOR A REFUND, PLEASE GUYS, DO NOT USE "kenforum", DO NOT USE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just get yourself a transit visa and save yourself from dubious people like him.

U may want to ask me if i have closer ties to Nigeria than the european country where i got  the visa, well "YES", i have closer ties to Nigeria in that i spent the whole of last yr in Nigeria besides my family has a landed property in form of a hospitality bizness (with the value of the Bizness, land and Building at over #60m)which i run with my mum.

First,visit www.ustraveldocs.com/ng .Its a tricky one.the fact that you have visited the US without overstaying is a plus but the fact that you are single is a negative.If he is sponsoring you,you will need his pay stubs etc .Now,do you have a good job in Nigeria?This might be critical in deciding whether or not you will be issued with visa.

I need an Advise. I met this Lady on the internet few months Back and she is a US Citizen. She want me to come over but i don't know the type of Visa to Apply for. i intend to stay there and work if I'm opportune. Can anyone Advise me on what to do. She is ready to send anything i might need at the Embassy,

Hello Mr.

You need B1/B2 visa first to visit and if you are able to get the job then you can come back and get the required work permit visa unless she's gotten the job already for you and hence should send the required papers from the employer to you.
You can find information / requirement for this on www.ustraveldocs.com/ng.
Thank you

@ FAST-LINK thanks for the in-for

Well she hasn't secured any Job For me Yet, but Currently, I'm a Digital photographer and i just exit my PT program ( LASU )due to the fact that i don't want to waist my time and Hard earn money running an Endless Program. i prefer to continue my education when i get there , Probably tech College or College of Edu. and if it advisable to let them know how we met at the Embassy? plz i need more advise

Good day all,
My cousin was issued a 2 year multiple B1/B2 visa to visit America and the visa expires in December 2012. The question is, when he applies for a renewal of the visa , do the U.S embassy grant a 10year visa or a 2year visa?

How una meet una sef no go helep you atall, make u no talkam, e go back fire.

you have to go for tourist visa and be sure you have enough money in your account, you can also use student visa if you intend to further your education there.

whatever you do, make sure you don't sound desperate.

I DONT HV ANY GOOD JOB IN NIGERIA, I RUN A HOSPITALITY BIZNESS WHICH BOOSTS MY SAVINGS ACCOUNT MONTHLY, ( D BIZNESS IS FAMILY OWNED AND RUN BY ME, OWING TO THE FACT DT I LOST MY DAD ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO), Also the Bizness is worth about 60m,( land and building)

PLS IF U LIVE IN MD, I WILL LOVE TO CALL U ON PHONE,

fast link.
I can see u are online now. Plz can we chat on yahoo messenger.? plz i will appriciate

Sorry dear, I don't have messenger installed on my device.
You can send me mail, though from all indications, you don't have problems atall, just let them know that you do shopping in US. Since you and your mom are the ones managing the busines, I don't see the reason why they'd not give you a 2yrs B1/B2 VISA, and since yours is renewal, just make sure you have all the receipts of the things you bought.
You can send your application to Abuja office.

Thank you

Alright , So whats ur email , Mine is bigoluway30@yahoo.com

Oops,

Thanks Fast links for all ur Quick response. Well I'm ruining my Business, here is my website. www.imageshutters.shutterfly.com. So what do u think i will need since i don't Receive a Particular Amount Per month. And what is my Chance of getting the Visa between my Current Status Or trying to make some Deport into my Account from Another Company Account and makes it looks as if I'm earning Salary.

Hello man, you must not be a salary earner to be eligible for visa, you can present any account as long as their is a regular flow of income ( in and out).

You stand a good chance of getting a visa as long as you don't present your case as a frustrated individual trying to run away from his home country, and beside nobody is gonna arrest you, at worst you'd be denied a VISA which you can always reapply for plugging up the leakages in your end and hence be the custodian of the first hand information to your similar case.

OK , Thanks , I will start the process then, I have mail the Conference Organizer asking them maybe they have any Event to Host in Oct/Nov. So I'm waiting for there reply. Thanks Once again.

my cousin was denied a visa today. He applied to visit Baltimore as a tourist, having mentioned that even though his brother, who's also a US citizen resides in South Carolina- he'd rather spend 10 days in maryland (where he'd visited as a kid)

Please I'd kike to know the procedure for filing an appeal. Also, which is effective- pushing through an attorney here, or incorporating his sibling in US to fortify this suit. Thanks

Hello, is it compulsory to book 60 days appointment for visit/tourist visa or can i go for any available slot?

Hello All,
  My cousin just told me his passport has not been given to him yet. After the interview at the U.S embassy for a visiting visa to America last week thursday, he was given a green ticket to go pick up his passport in Ikeja and given that Monday was a national holiday, he went to the office on Tuesday (2 business after his interview as he was told by the interviewing officer) but his passport was not ready. He has since been checking online and the status he's gotten is The current status of your passport is Origination Scan. When he calls the collection center up until today, they told him his passport is still not ready.
Has anyone had an experience like this before? Also, I want to confirm that he has been issued the visa and its just the processing that takes time if not i guess he wouldn't be given a green ticket and/or he would have been told he was denied after the interview.

Great Nairalanders please help, he's been having sleepless nights regarding this situation!

There is nothing like appeal when it comes to
USA visit visa to the best of my knowledge. Let him
re-apply and like you said, he's been to usa before right?

He needs to exercise some patience.Although,visas are normally ready after two businees days,computer program errors or mistakes in application could cause some delay.Let him keep track by calling them.He should get his visa soon.
