    Sorry to hear about denial.
  2. OldUser
    Answer is below: There's no way to guarantee somebody gets US visa.

    Because they didn't believe she would leave the US. The high refusal rate for Nigerian citizens is due to high level of immigration fraud and high rate of people overstaying visas in the US. This is why denial rate is 50% as @appleblossom said: every second Nigerian applicant gets denied visa.

    Yes, LPRs and citizens don't get I-94. She should create a excel sheet to track all of her international trips moving forward: date of departure from US, date of arrival back and countries visited. She'd need to provide this info when she applies for naturalization.

    There's no right for visitor's visa. It's a privilege. The friend did not convince consular official she'd be going back to Doha / Nigeria after coming to the US. Denial is pretty common for ladies from Nigeria (higher fraud country) and especially if she's single and of marrying age. Decision is officer's discretion. Things like owning properties, being married back home, high paying job or old parents she needs to take care of can improve chances of approval.

    Sad but true

    The more the better. Both for immigration and personal reasons.

    They are US government officials.

    Any platforms that allow you talking to other people are social media websites. Including internet forums, which VJ is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_media I agree about work accounts, they're not personal accounts. But any personal accounts, even if you use nicknames instead of real names, should be disclosed, at least with strict interpretation of DOS rules. I'm glad I wasn't subject to these rules. I would have had disclosed many of accounts I have. And the problem is, this can always be used against current filers, if they forget to list one of tens of accounts they may have.

    Yep. Officer: I don't have your file today Immigrant: Here's copy of everything I submitted

    Hmmm, isn't Visa Journey a social media account?

    I cannot edit / delete comments. Good luck!

    I checked copy of my Removal of Conditions packet. The lawyer who filed it for me never included G-1145.

    This form is optional. It works half of the time. I guess the fact it's not listed for I-751 on USCIS website may explain why. If you send it with I-751 - great. If you don't send it - not a big deal.
  15. OldUser
    Yes

    The couldn't stamp your passport today per your request? AFAIK everybody still gets their visa stamped based on VJ forums. Good luck and keep us posted
  17. OldUser
    Exactly 🙂
  18. OldUser
    That's the right and legal way to do it. Coming to the US on ESTA with intention to adjust is fraud.
  19. OldUser
    No
  20. OldUser
    Got it, this makes sense for your circumstances. It's not the most secure and optimal route immigration wise, but you need to do what you need to do. This may mean reduced flexibility for work and international travel while adjusting status. Good luck!

    Nice! Verbal approvals are very unreliable. Looks like officer really kept their word this time. Congrats!

    I think OP wants to skip naturalization step altogether for child so they're born US citizen (btw why not "citisen" in British English 😅) But they can't have it both ways: - Child born on US soil as US citizen - Child's mother is in valid status As you correctly mentioned, child's path to citizenship through mother's naturalization is the most legal and straightforward path. Yes, it does mean OP has to go to foreign country etc.

    Interesting. It helped me printing PDF and circling my preferred answers (typically, the shortest ones).

    There's no downside to bringing absolutely everything you have, if you can.

    People have different ways of learning. I didn't find apps / YouTube distracting personally.
