[RMSTTL]

i have heard that the presonnel now granting the visas and doing the interviews have all been rotated in from the embassy in South Africa.
they regularly rotate personnel to their various embassies. so u cud read between the lines on their treatmen of trinidadians. is not a few ppl get blank is plenty and the forgien affiars ppl eh doing nutting bout it.

[Dj_Bee]

I'm 18 yrs, and i went for my visa a while ago......going uwi...carried all my required documents, school letter...letter of acception, uwi id,
job letter from my father, and his bank statement...

So i approached the woman...she ask me what is the purpose for travelling...i tell her that my parents are going and i would like to join them, cuz i haven't seen my family in a long time....
she asked me if i working, i tell her that im a student....i offer to show her the school letter, she refused...
She asked who is paying for the trip, i tell her that im still a dependent of my father,
she asks for a bank statement from him, she just watch the top and hand me it back...
nothing else.....

the Fckr tell me that i should go and finish my degree and get a good job and reapply...
I was like what the firetruck jed....i just turned 18 and have like 3 yrs ah school again d mofo tellin me bout wukk....

As
cutthroatInt, said

phocking muffler bearings

[Gem_in_i]

I feel it depends on their mood.
When I went the woman just asked me whts my Job and if I like my work ...she didnt want to see any documents like job letter, bank statement etc.

My bro visa expired and he went and a woman told him tht he almost finish his degree and if he went he wud not come back and tht he had no ties here.

[roctt]

I got 10 years....but they really ask you some PERSONAL out of timing questions...they didn't even check my documents....(company letter for training in chicago and atlanta, bank statements, children birth certificates)

is like the guy had all my info on his computer when he was asking everything....and he asked the same questions in different ways to see if i was lying....but i didn't hesitate and kept a smile through all the very personal questions...

then he said i was approved for a visa and i got ten years......

[Paradoxx]

Hopefully by the time my Visa dun il hav my greencard so i doh hadda study bout da sheit.

[ronsin1]

when I went I only gave them my job letter and it was granted, no bank statements or other revelent documents were requested

believe me..they do....from info like missed loan payment etc, they can retrieve

[Gem_in_i]

Well with the electronic submission they wud start checking up on you I guess.

So by time you present yourself in front of the interviewer they already have questions, if any, to ask.

[cutthroatInt]

so because i didnt carry my utc statements that prob work against me? had only bout 15 grand on the statement i gave them. or was it meh name? Taliban ting? What does the amount of money you have has to do with requesting a visa? is it possible that if they do have all your info and it appears as though i didnt declare it is that reason to deny me?

[Paradoxx]

Your name says ure a terrorist. Stay in Trinidad or build your own plane.

[cutthroatInt]

Lol

[biggy82]

is like the guy had all my info on his computer when he was asking everything....

boi, i try ah shot in 2003. i had lost my passport with a 10yr visa not more than 1 year after i got it. so when i got a replacement PP, i made an appointment at the embassy for my visa.

i gone there, no job letter, no bank statements nuttin; jess the police report of my lost PP. when i reach by the window and i tell the man that i lost my PP and visa, he give me a form to write up about how i lost it and tell me come back to him as i finsh fill it out. i did so and came back to his window.

so he take the form and ask "so where is all your supporting documents (statement, job letter etc?"

i say, "but when i made the appointment i explained my situation and the person assured me that you have my info on file, and that coming here today was merely a formality"

man watch me, pull up something on he computer screen and hand me a chit and tell me to go by TTPost counter

i get back a 10 yrs visa

[1300 bhp]

PUT SOME MONEY IN THE BANK NEEGGRROO...THAT HELPSS..LOL..

[Gem_in_i]

They don't watch any supporting documents as in my case and I still got it, so I can't see if you didn't have bank statement they wud refuse you on tht reason.

It does be a shame to see people crying when they get refused

[r3iXmann]

if you get denied,is there a window to reapply?

[Gem_in_i]

They tell you reapply when your situation changes.
So I guess you gotta ask them why you were refused, so you wud know if and when your situation changes

Many people wait like 6mths and retry.

[brams112]

try applying online and go in about six months for an interview,it will look like you are not desperate for a visa,plus facial expression shows either you badly want to go or fu ymc if you grant me or not i don't care,when i went my cousin took me,he was telling me don't be frighten,or be nervous,i told him if i get it or not i don;t give a sheit, i went got in the system of the wait and when my name was called went to the window with a grin ,name? address? where you going?to who?where you staying?and the whole game, i was in a laughing mood whole time all the time not desperate for their visa turn's out the guy did not ask for paper work just said you good to go,and you are granted a ten years,i did not tell anyone untill ttpost droped off my pasport,i played a game on my sis asked her to open it while knowing i have ten years in the bag,is the facial expression and your papers that helps

[Smokey]

I used to lime with one of the workers at the US embassy, and as politically incorrect it sounds, they profile people strictly on looks.

If you looking spranger, wotless etc regardless of race (although she did say they definitly deny more afro trinis) you will be turned down, or at least they would then look at your supporting documents (job letter etc) to see if you could make the cut.

It really is that subjective as I remember 4 persons from IPSL about 3 years back had to go for training in the US, all 4 of them had exactly the same supporting documents etc. and yet the skinny dark indo from barrackpore was denied, all the rest who look a lot more professional got through.

as brams112 said before, it is a fact that they are trained to look at your demeanor.
