Qualifying for a Nonimmigrant Visa

According to U.S. visa laws and regulations, all nonimmigrant visa applicants must demonstrate to the consular officer that they have strong ties to their country of residence and must show that they intend to depart the United States after their temporary visit. While there is no specific list of documents to be provided or things that must be done in order to demonstrate strong ties outside of the United States, applicants may wish to bring a variety of materials that can assist in demonstrating these ties.

Cost is USD$131.00

If your husband is from Nigeria why would there be concerns of him being kidnapped... he arrived in the usa march 2008.. I think things are still the same as he less it 2 years and 7 months ago and perhaps still have much of what he is accustomed to back in his homeland.

I can say that the Visitor's Visa is not a easy things to get especially with the HIGH Fraud Alert comming from the Country. It would be easier for your husband to visit there than for him to get a visitor's visa.. the embassies lately have become so pickey... they'll at times approve someone with no assests or ties to the home counrty and yet deny a person who is established and is sure to retrun...

I understand his concern , being that the local bad boys know he has been to the US and has an American wife they assume there is a potential for some money. Maybe they can meet in another African country. It isn't quite as good as meeting back home but may work. The other way is to do a surprise visit. Don't tell anyone you are coming and don't wander about much. Not much fun but safer. Your father in law could also reserve a hotel away from home and meet him there. He is native so that he won't stick out too much as long as he dresses/behaves like a Nigerian not an American.

This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

Thank you for your replys......I know it more then likely will be impossible for a visitors visa.......I was just grasping at straws I guess.....It is not safe for him to go back at lest not right now...He has friends and family that are there and have told him about what is happening and that they are not in their own homes due to the crime that is growing and getting worse......So yes I am very concerned for his safty.......It is for safty reasons that he is not allowing me to go......Anyway we will see what happens...thanks everyone.....
