Complicated mess. Why he would claim a wife and kids in Nigeria when there isn't is beyond me.

My friend understand she cannot petition him but was wondering what could be done about him attempting to visit again if possible.

He was issued a letter stating he is being sent back because of "discrepancy" noticed in the responses he gave in his Visa application and at border and was offered voluntary departure.

I have requested to see the letter if possible.

So did he claim to be married to someone in Nigeria?

his credibility is zero...the rationalizations for lying are pathetic ('I forgot', "I was advised"...)..a person who lies and lies futile....COs do not like liars...period. Visa shopping, combined with lying, only demonstrates desperation ..

She used that exact words too...that she doesn't understand why he acted like he was desperate when there was no need to...

She said he claims he denied any contact, relatives in the U.S. during the airport interrogation ( maybe to maintain consistency with his Visa application or inte)nse pressure from the mobile court got to him?

Hmmm. I have to ask her that.

I have known this couple for years through the woman. Just one of those unfortunate decisions people make not understanding the depth of the repercussions.

Thanks everyone. She said he went to Lagos on the basis of visiting a friend the U.S but was denied a visa. He is business man with frequent travels to Asian countries. He then decided to try Abuja, but didn't mention he was previously denied a visa and also said to have responded that he knows nobody in the U.S. He had been advised that he didn't necessary need an invitation to apply for a visa as he can just say he was coming for a self sponsored vacation. He may have misunderstood the advice to mean he should deny all contacts.

I asked the same question about why issue him a visa when they noticed he had lied on his application. Or they didn't notice until he arrived POE?

Mistake #2: on his application, he had stated he will be staying in a hotel in one state for his

vacation but either forgot about that and ended up booking a hotel in a different state which was his POE.

During questioning, I am being told he was asked why claimed he didn't know anyone in the second application when in his first application, he stated he was being invited.

Long story short, my friend is now under pressure to help cos like Boiler rightly mentioned, she is being told she may be his only "savior". Kids are in their early 20s and teen years.

So in other words, there is no ban to serve for such cases?

The wife( a softie at heart) is actually searching for attorneys to advice them, being that one of their daughters is about to get married here.

I hope I can summarize this question.

So a friend, divorced from his wife(who now lives in the United States with their kids) decides to pay his kids a visit but was turned back at the airport.

From what I am being told,he first applied for visitor's Visa in one state in his country but was denied. He then travelled to another state weeks later, denied being refused a visa on the application.

He also arrived at a POE different from what he stated in his Visa application.

The border officials took him aside for questioning and after a grueling interview, offered him voluntary departure which he accepted.

He now wants to know his chances in correcting hid mistakes; reapplying for a visitor's Visa.

Thanks for your input.

You are so right about the one-sided stories. Granted, no relationship is without its ups and downs but we should stop the generalizations especially towards the negative.

Yesterday was my husband's 11th month in the United states.

It has been a very busy transition for me with baby #2 about to arrive. VJ has been on my mind, but with a big belly,an infant, school, fulltime work etc, its been almost impossible to come and share( Thank God for rmy mom who stays with us). Maybe I should leave myself signed in 'forever' on the PC for easy access lol.

It is good to see old names again

If it's a visitors visa, you don't need to file affidavit of support(I-130). Send them letter of invitation,proof of employment and bank statements shd suffice. Even these are not required and may not even be looked at by d interviewing officer.

It depends on d embassy/consulate. It could take anywhere frm same day to 5 business days.

My hubby came in middle of may. We were expecting our baby so he didn't start job s outing till July;mostly online applications. He started work this August, in retail business(pays above minimum wage and gets him out of d house). He has a phone interview on Tuesday with another retailer. We are in NYC.

CONGRATULATIONS

There will be no need to adjust status. They r automatically granted permanent resident status and given the green card ( if d $165 was paid)

Hey there. Longest time. My goodness your plate is sure full. Congratulations on all the progress.

How's Lil miss doing? I bet now getting her own little personality and all that fun coooing stuff.

Well nice to hear from you.

Gosh this mobile method is not my thing LOL but I shall try. Take care of you!

CONGRATULATIONS! I feel you. Hubby just started something this august too. At least he gets to leave d house as he continues to find his ground. You guys will be fine.

Debbie! Good job here. You and VJ been on my mind. Between caring for d little one, job searching for hubby( he finally started something for now), contacting various agencies and offices with name change and getting ready for three classes this fall, I barely have time for me lol.miss you though.

Now that I have full version VJ on my phone, I will see hw it goes.
