Uncle! You can lie ooo

GolfingDiva:
That's partially untrue. But I only agree with you based on previous VO's comment for past denial on particular applicant.

factbox:
Well! My own US embassy experience was quite funny, it was in year 2001. I wanted to travel with my big bro, my visa was denied and my birth certificate seized because they concluded I wasn't going to return if I go. I tried 4 more tyms within 2 yrs making all 5 times all together. Since then I just fashi them and I tried Canada visa once and it was granted. My mistake then now dawned on me that I was too anxious and fidgeting like my whole world depend on it. But anyways I have been in and out of Canada and I realized no big deal about these western countries but if u have never travelled before it can be a serious aspiration though. My little advice ! Pls do not attempt to travel to d US or any other developed countries if u do not have anybody to help u with initial accomodation and stuff. If not nah one chance be dat.

lockupman:
Please my people in the house. I have an issue and I want you to help me with advice or anything. I have gotten admit from a school in Illinois for my graduate study and I have already gotten assurance of full financial support from my elder sibling and visa before his business had issue. So it's obvious financial support will be difficult but I can't allow my hard earned visa go like that. I'm thinking of going like that with the small $3k he promised to provide and my program is suppose to commence by January for the upcoming spring semester. Ive not travelled out before and I don't have friends or siblings or relative in the US that I can lean on. What should I do? Is the risk of still going to US worth it? What if the school ask me to pay fees before writing exam. I'm really in a fix now I don't know what to do. How do Nigerians with in my kind of situation survive in US? If I can get a PM it would be most welcomed

I was there a week back around 6:30am. We all waited patiently for the first interview and hoped that if his/her visa was granted the goodluck would rub off on the rest of us....for where?

It was a lady and her interview took place in booth 7. She claimed that she was going to attend a seminar sponsored by a company she distributes for here in Nigeria. After the VO found her not eligible for the visa, he was about handing over her documents when the lady said, "Oga, please hold on to it, my interview can't be over". Then VO repeated that "you are ineligible", while he was saying this, the lady keep on explaining how many clients she has, how much she makes... vo repeated himself, Lady also repeated her self. At that point everyone laughed so hard. The lady left a few seconds later.



My own unusual experience.

Same day as above. While waiting in line outside, I discovered that I was feeling some fresh air around my toes, on both feet. When I looked down, the sole of my shoe was coming off from the front. Horror!!! I've not even entered the Consulate yet. Why me? With each step I took, more of the sole was coming off, got to a point I couldn't lift my feet to walk, I dragged them, I was already in the interviewing area at this point.

I kept on praying for this little incidence not to cause any visa denial. It didn't. After it was approved, I majestically walked out with half of the sole of my shoe gone. When people waiting outside saw me, there laughed, and I thought within myself......"dey laugh me, make you no go face your own interview"

Each universities usually have rules regarding late payment of fees. some would log you off from the school system hence no access to lectures, library, university WiFi and computers and exams. Some would let you continue your studies and exams but would hold on to your certificate till debts are paid.

bigfrancis21:

@bold...that's so true. If you've never travelled out before it would seem like a dream of a lifetime to achieve.

And coming here one would need the initial housing, feeding and support by relatives before standing on one's feet.

noperson:

Why do pple lie without doing proper research? If you have really ever applied for the US visa, you will know that it is your application confirmation page info that you book the interview with. So what's with the lie that you filled the visa form 20mins before your interview or your mum filled hers the morning of the interview, so how did you book for the interview in the first place

And this goes to those that allow touts at the embassy entrance to cajole you into refilling your forms at the premises before entering the embassy is waste of money and time. The reason your name is on the check-in list is because all previous applications and interviewees for that date has been processed with your application information and list printed. So you refilling your application prior to entering the embassy does not alter or update the previous information you had submitted

lockupman:
Thank you very much sexywale. I really appreciate. I have tired to reach fellow students from my school but to no avail and I can't ask university officials such question about payment policy. Do you have anybody that has schooled in Illinois area?

bigfrancis21:


You think US will just throw open its borders to strangers without carrying out investigation on them? It turns out that they are even 2 steps ahead of that.

GolfingDiva:
The US borders are still porous. You're diverting away from the main subject.

bigfrancis21:


Just take this from me or leave it - US doesn't play with who it allows into their country. The US fight against terrorism is very strong and that is one thing they don't joke about - terrorism.

austinebode:
Hi guys.
If someone is refused a US Visa. How soon can he reapplied and does he stand the chance?

Thanks.

LordReed:


You do if you reapply I applied thrice before ai was given a 2 year visa.

voltron:


must be because of your British leaning

LordReed:

austinebode:

holamiday:
What nonsense! I pray throughout my life, i never have to beg someone for the chance to enter another country. I love Nigeria to a fault and i'm not freaked about anywhere else. If i really need to travel somewhere else, for school perhaps, i still wouldn't beg anybody...i'd rather forget about that school.

NIGERIA is the best place to be.

johnstar:

Thats a lie! You cannot stop over in Atlanta unless you have a US transit visa. You can only get a transit visa at the embassy. Stop lying
