This one happened in the US Embassy in Abuja. My wife and I went for our interview as I was granted Admission for my Phd Study. We didn't count up to 5 people who were granted visas the whole 2 hours we were there. One that got me laughing was one old igbo lady. She didn't speak english and the consular officer brought an interpreter for her. After so many questions and translations, the consular officer told her he was denying her the visa. Immediately it was translated to her, na so she understood english sharply. "What!!! You are denying me a visa? No!! You cannot deny Me!!!" See as everyone burst into laughter that day. The consular officer then said he thought she didn't understand english, switched off the mike, and turned his back to her. Nothing the woman said moved him.

The last we saw of her after my wife and i left was she was trying to re-enter the premises. I'm sure she wouldn't have been given audience twice on the same day.

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"

*SHOE OF GOD*

People will rush for your shoe like its anointed handkerchief.!

*God of dotman2460* as this sole has opened. That's how my way will open as I go to the embassy*

There's this woman on the day of that wanted to go for visiting, the visa officer was like At this moment, we are sorry we cannot offer you visa.. She replied immediately what's so special in your country? I want to go and spend my money and improve the economic situation of your country.. The visa officer has not returned her passport then and she was like I'll grant your visa just for you to see what's special in my country...

I remember my experience last year, that place could be a crazy place. I went with my son and for no particular reason, the boy was just crying and causing serious scene inside the waiting room. One yoruba woman just said 'Ki won ti e fun eleyi ni visa jare, ko ma ko ariwo e lor'. They called us at the same time but different booths. The VO just asked for my position at my organization, my salary scale and my aim of applying and the visa was ours. The woman brought all the documents in her house (looked like Akpabio chemistry book) and started stammering when they asked her where she would stay in the US. When they denied the woman visa, i laff so tey even[b] my son stopped crying and started looking at me[/b]..................................
i can only imagine what will be going on in his little mind....The boy will be like"wadda Bleep is wrong with my dad, why is he embarassing me in public like this na"

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

The guy just before them went to the booth and was denied a visa barely 2 minutes later & the guys starts screaming at his interviewer "who the hell do you think you are?! do you know me?!! you think you can come to my country & disrespect me?!!! you deny a whole me visa!!!! Shey its this Lagos, I have marked your face, I will deal with you!!!!. You better be sleeping here o!!!!! just make sure I dont see you on the road because I will teach you a lesson!!!!! Seconds later he is escorted out by security still yelling...till today it still cracks them up!
