Greetings to all,

I want you to please advise me on this issue. I applied for student visa to the US in 2003 and 2004 but was refused on the two occassions. The passport I took there then was carrying just my two names and I deliberately reduced my age by 2 years. After then I got another passport in 2008 which I now got with my real age (difference of two years with previous passport) and included my third name. I applied for a family visit to the UK and was granted 6 months visa on two different occasions and was recently given a 2 year visit visa to the UK. My problem is now that I want to apply to the US with my current passport. My Nigerian university details carry is same as what is on my current passport. Please I need your advise on how to go about it.

Many thanks.

FOA,

the two worst things a foreigner, whether a Nigerian or German, can do is (a) make a false claim of US citizenship, and (b) material misrepresentation. What both of these things have in common is a lifetime ban from the United States.

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.

Why did you deliberatly reduce your age by 2 years?

Obviously you'll need to disclose the previous denials which, again, obviously, will beg the question of the initial deliberate misrepresentation

Why do you want to go to the US? Do you have a compelling reason?

Also, have you done anything to your ties to Nigeria? Unless those have changed, along with your age and name, then the visas will likely be denied again

Your trips to the UK are inconsequential

Good luck

If you were fingerprinted at any times with your previous passport they will connect the dots and you will have to explain everything. When you apply you have to disclose other names used. Lying about your age is a material misrrepresentation. Probably you have made yourself ineligble for life to get a visitors visa to the US.

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