All that is just your assumption. Your embassy is a tough one, be it for non-immigrant or immigrant visa. Sad to say, you hadn't proved your ties sufficiently to the consular officer and that you're unwilling to abandon them. Back to the DS-160, you can put a friend or relative as your point of contact in the US but obviously that doesn't mean you'll visit them as soon as you get off the plane. Therefore, the consular officer wouldn't have presumed you lied on your DS-160. Your friend's apology is most likely a sympathetic gesture and by no means meant that she caused your visa denial. Really.

 

Instead of worrying about getting a B2, establish some other overseas travels with your family first. Couple that with your business, your wife's well paying job, assets and good bank balances, you might have a bit of a slim chance. Next time when your wife re-applies with you, make sure she brings a letter from her employer stating her leave duration and when she's expected to return to work. 

 

These are older threads but they will give you an idea about applying for a B2 in Nigeria. B2 applications are often denied so you are not alone and like I've been saying, I doubt your friend's alleged phone conversation was the root cause of denial:

 

 

 

 

Hi,

My daughter applied for my B1 visa and at 1st it got rejected with section 212(a)(6)(c)(I) and 214(b). Later after sometime She applied twice for the same and it got rejected with 214(b).

Can anyone suggest why it could had happened?

You can refer to this page https://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/general/denials.html. It explains every denial section.

 

For 214(b), that is very common. That simply means a person did not sufficiently prove their ties to their home country. Refusal under this section is not permanent. 

 

As for 212(a)(6)(c)(i), this is a hella serious denial! Denial under this section is due to wilful misrepresentation of fact or untruthfulness in attempt to receive a visa to enter the US. According to the link that I shared, if someone has been denied under this section, they will be found ineligible everytime they try for another visa. This is a permanent ineligibility. There are waivers available but I cannot comment if your daughter is eligible for one as I'm unfamiliar with it. In order for other more experienced members to comment on the matter, they will probably need more information from you.

Please don't hijack a thread. You can create a thread for your issue. Thanks.

 

214b means she didn't have sufficient ties to return home (immigrant intent). Basically, they think she is a risk to overstay, or to adjust status within the US. You can try to find out more when you post your own thread.

 

212(a)(6)(c)(I) means they determined that she made a material misrepresentation, and as such she has a permanent bar on any US visa (without a waiver). Basically, they determined that she lied about something material to her application. I suggest finding out and including those details in the separate thread. Even if she overcomes 214b somehow, she still won't be granted the visa due to the permanent bar.

212(a)(6)(c)(I): "In general.-Any alien who, by fraud or willfully misrepresenting a material fact, seeks to procure (or has sought to procure or has procured) a visa, other documentation, or admission into the United States or other benefit provided under this Act is inadmissible. "

So what was the Misrep?

Boiler, that was my question.  She's applied multiple times - could it be more than one misrep?
