    I really love how you explain. Me I have a question sha.
    I own a foundation based in Nigeria that deals with alot of social issues we face. I was selected as one of six cohorts worldwide by Swarovski Foundation, an international organization. We are to attend UN General assembly in NewYork for a conference. The Int. foundation is sponsoring my trip that is hotel fees, travel tickets, and even Visa application costs.
    1. My first question is, do I also to apply for a B1/B2 visa ?
    And under finance, (if one has had some diplomatic travels, these companies first require you to pay your tickets and all. Then on arrival to your destination you provide payment receipts and they reimburse you all)
    2. Under sponsoring of trip, do I put my name as who is sponsoring or the companies name (cause really its until i get to the destination i will get reimbursed)

    • @thewakaholic
      @thewakaholic  Před 10 měsíci

      Yes. Regarding the sponsorship, you should state it as it is - which is that the organization will sponsor the trip, however, you should be able to determine what that cost is.
      It also looks good that you are able to finance the trip ahead of the event. If you have a document that confirms that you will be reimbursed, all good.

The company I work was sending me for special training and when asked how I will be sustained I answered that the host company will be giving me a stipend and my invitation letter didn't have any US government stamps. Am in the process of restarting the applying process and one of the few errors have corrected is the invitation letter is notarized by the US government institution. Kindly advise what else I should do in my preparations?

    Hello dear Oto, this has been so helpful. But my situation is abit complex because my mum applied for a visa first and was denied, then the second time we applied as a group of 2, but when the interview came I had just given birth, c-section, was unable to go since the place was quite far and the interview was pushed to this year in July. Now I am pregnant again 3 months now, my baby is 10 months. And I want to add him to our visa application and yet am pregnant.
    The main security I have back home is my husband and unfinished education. My mom is a stay at home but my other 6 siblings are here too. My dad has got quite many visas to the USA. His visa got expired he’ll renew it on his own. We are definitely planning to just go visit my bro and his wife and then come back.
    My son is really young and the only person I could live him with is my mom who also is going. My mom-in-law is quite busy. I really want to add my son on the application. My due date for delivery is October but my interview is in July.
    What do you advise me. I’ll be so grateful if you help me on this one.?! Am in a dilemma.

    What if I have a registered company with CAC in Nigeria. Secondly, I am traveling on a visit or vacation, but not with my wife. How do I present this. Thanks!
