Visiting visa after Denial

[Texy 1]

Hi JV,my friends and for those who know about our Ir1 visa been denied at the embassy in Lagos mainly because my wife made it to Nigeria once due to failing health problem and manage to work....our petition will be sent to USCIS for review,my wife want to try to come to Nigeria but her doctor said her health situation can't really allow her travelling because of her chronic asthmas and said even if she comes one more to Nigeria it is risky because her asthma can trigger anytime and need medical attention and even in the states she need someone to stay with her as not good living alone but unfortunately our visa was denied but we want to apply for visiting so I can atleast visit her and help her aswell due to her health status because we have long way for the petition to be re-affirmed by USCIS as it can take up to a year we cant stay that long apart...if anyone have been approved visiting visa in Lagos after denial we are seeking some advise from peoples experience if the Embassy can approved visiting visa if we present all neccesary documents and be able to visit my wife back and forth till our patition will be re-affirmed for second interview

I hope the embassy won't think I might want to stay back because my visa was denied..not at all I never had intention of stay back in the U.S but just to be able to visit my wife

What is the probability if getting the visiting Visa and what can be done to convince the embassy?

We will appreciate advices

Not a removal of conditions question, moved to the tourist visa forums as the OP is looking to apply for a tourist visa not ROC.

When you go to apply for a visitors visa there is an assumption that you will overstay. You must show that isn't a problem. Going against you is a wife in the US and a denied immigrant visa. You will have to show a very good job and properties in Nigeria to even have a faint hope of getting a visitors visa.

Why not elaborate more on the interview...what were the questions asked...were there red flags....whats the age difference and so on..because sometimes its not always about one coming for the first time and getting married..i want to believe NVC approves like 40% and CO approves 60%...just saying though....maybe if u share more on what really happened on the interview day....besides as for ur visit visa..that chance is slim to none...

How many times have u met...

Your chances of a visitors visa to the USA in your situation are very close to 0.

Have you considered meeting in a third country, either close to the USA or with great healthcare for her, but easier for you to get a visa?
