When you go to the U.S Embassy in Nigeria, especially in Lagos, you will be amazed at the number of applicants you see there. Funny enough, it’s always like that every day because, other applicants who go there to apply on different occasions say the same thing about the crowd they see there.

At the Consular section and sometimes outside the building, you see people cry after being denied. Some applicants even go as far as begging the Consular officers inside to reconsider them after being rejected, like their whole life depends on it. Sometimes with genuine reasons and complete supporting documents to back it up, some applicants are still denied. Nigeria is among the countries with the highest number of U.S visa rejections.

I know it hurts, but are there no other countries to be considered for greener pastures United States used to hold that title but not anymore. One would really have to work very hard as a foreigner to be successful in U.S.

According to a report I read from Vanguard, The U.S. mission in Nigeria says no fewer than 220,000 applied for non-immigrant visas in 2014 and from Oct 1 2014 till May 2015, they have already received 138,578 applications. These consular officers will definitely not approve visas for all applicants.

Until our country Nigeria improves, we will not be respected in another man’s country.

Kindly drop your suggestions, advice and any helpful information about other countries for Nigerians who think success or a better life can only be achieved in U.S.

Yea, I get your point. We all love the American dream and also hope for a better Nigeria. But what if the US doesn't work out. The visa are very simple and also hard to get....

Lol. The exchange rate is even higher now. It's so sad though.

But what other options do we have apart from USA since the visa is sometimes an issue for Nigerians?
