visa denied

[trebor6164 0]

Lagos is a very hard headed consulate. It seems as if their theme is DENY DENY DENY. There are many stories of people presenting twice the evidence as couples from other countries and still being denied. And Lagos will also just take a hard nosed attitude of the visa being sent back. They will say it is already being sent back even when it is still there. Contact a good attorney . Marc Ellis would be my choice. He is a board member under Ellis Island. Even if he isn't your long term pick he will be able to tell you the laws and the possible next steps.

Thank You everyone. I will try to get a lawyer soon. She was approve in U.S.A. But got denied in Her own country (Nigeria) That is a shame to Lagos Nigeria consulate.

Actually about the only thing the US does is look that you meet the minimum requirements. They then leave it to the consulate to interview for a petition. It seems that some places have carefully trained their people to ask questions until the first bad answer then deny the visa. Nigeria seems to be in this mind set most of the time. I am sure they see it as protecting American borders but it ends up being a true stress test for all of us

I guess she must have screwed up on some of the questions. At the same time it breaks up relationship with the way they have the system setup. I am just fed up with it.
