Sounds odd that a company would be helping with bank statements. Is it a small company or a big one?

if you’re going for a conference for work why do you need leave? That also sounds odd.

 

When I travled I always had to have a leave form (absent form work for education/ training/ conference. It had to do with insurance (if was was injuried or killed and not on an approved absent) insurance coverage could have been denied as  being absent form work. I would be be able to get travel pay, perdiem for food and loding, taxi and misc expenses. It's more of a HR/payroll thing. also, since I was not generating income that time would count againt me bounses. It happens.

Odd about the employer providing bank statements...Is the company you work for owned by a family member?

Huh, interesting, we never had a problem with insurance coverage while traveling (and I did have to use it), and there was never a question about claiming expenses. A work trip never needed special authorization or forms beyond a manager sign-off (and I traveled for a few companies at various stages, all the same). Maybe Nigeria is more like Russia (judging by your profile flag), or maybe it’s something to do with the type of work (I got paid a monthly salary, not on “generating income”). But certainly for the embassy just proof of it being a work trip (as in a letter from the company stating that) sufficed.

Where you went wrong is the mock interview.  Preparing to get everything right is going to sound fake. Second they most likely won't ask that many questions. Everything they want to know is on your application. So since you like fake interviews I'm going to also give you a fake denial from all those questions. You are too desperate. Get rid of the company bank statements it makes the company look fake or desperate to get their guy in the US for some unorthodox plan. What company on earth would give out that kind of personal information unless required by law. Screams that something is up. 

 

Anyway this is just me as all of this is fake. 

when I put up something as mock, it's one of the reasons, I don't know, it's not a wrong thing to know either everyone avoids mistakes,  for others that have an idea to tell me.  Making it look like worlds gonna end now, does not make sense to me in anyway.  

OK, I went wrong asking after the bank statement, but I'm only making sure I have nothing left out.  Not like VO asking "you being sponsored by the company, can I see bank statements... " and am like "wow I don't have it... " preparation in time is better, don't you think so?  Your rambling here is uncalled for.  It's a forum.,  if I don't know, tell me.  No one is gonna die.

Good and Fine and I have been brushing up on other aspects of the related topic to the conference as well.

Second of all, do travel History really matter? I mean, I have been a bit busy with work and all. Is it a must I have documented travel History?

Travel History in my opinion is irrelative
