BE ASSERTIVE: CONFIDENCE MATTERS You see, a remarkable percentage of visa applicants are being refused the visas based on some ignorant factors due to negligence. A lot of people here are always busy giving "advice" only on paper works: such as, which paper to submit and which not to submit, which passport to use or what names should sponsor an applicant. However, i wish to use this media to appreciate your efforts. But, i must admit that many of us failed to understand that the majority of visa applicants actually have the right documents, and yet they're being denied visas; and even some of those who were caught with fake or fraudulent documents were compelled to take such dire actions due to experience. Apart from my job, i'm a business owner, and i've occasionally conducted interviews on job applicants, those of you who know how it is to conduct an interview will agree with me that it's not just the CVs that counts, the applicant impression matters a lot. even more. So, it's not just the documents submitted for visa application that counts: a lot of people have all documents, but they were denied the visas because they failed to convince the visa officers of the aptitude that they'D developed in the intended country: these officers are rather psychologists and they cherish applicants with assertiveness ie, you need to display a bold confidence during your interview. Below is a link to a useful video where an Asian dude got his visa approval after a live interview. Take a look at the video and see what i mean: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8IasdCj_Rw

Much as I hate to point out to you (without attacking your person), but it does seems that you are always in a hurry to rush in a new post of some new links without giving much thoughts to the points you are trying to make. I'm no immigration expert and really do not care much for immigration matters but you should know the following: That was no live interview. That was just a demo of an h1-b visa interview by some american visa consultants in chennai. Did you notice they were both (interviewer and interviewee) reading from scripts. Where does the display of confidence come into that. In most live interviews, the interviewer would be in a vantage position (physically higher) behind a glass kiosk while the interviewee would be at the other end (usually lower) of the counter. In an american visa interview, you don't always have the luxury of explaining away facts over a lenghty period of time as depicted in this video, most times, a visa decision is preconceived based on documents tendered and the brief interview is just for the interviewer to confirm if a contrasting decision (to the one already taken) should be given. While not underemphasizing the need to have a right attitude, posture, carriage and confidence during a visa interview (and any interview for that matter), they would be of little help where the documents tendered do not meet the requirements. Also have you considered that the visa issuance process as practised by the UK govt refrains from using a face-to-face interview (unless where absolutely essential) in reaching a visa decision but rather relies on the documents submitted by the applicant? |

I was thinking the same thing cause I checked the link up and the sceneario does not in anyway reflects a true life interview but since you don talk am,all I can say is nairaland makes one to get wiser but for some people they keep deteriorating in their posts!  |

Agglomeration of balderdash!
No embassy in the world will insert a live interview on youtube of all places.
@ Vicjustice,
I thought you call yourself a visa proficient adviser, so you do not know that embassies are not allowed to disclosed third case parties??? Hope you even know the meaning of what I have just stated.
And again, why do you live your life on youtube? Every of your silly and puerile arguments on nairaland has been based on youtube videos.
Nigerians are witches. . . . . . . . Youtube link
No good thing in Nigeria. . . . . . . Youtube link
Nigerians are drug addicts. . . . . . . Youtube link
Definition of Obasanjo. . . . . . . . . . . . .Youtube link
Now this topic again. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Youtube link
How much is youtube paying you?
A lot more of your topics like that, as you keep coming up with it everytime. May God have mercy on your lying and deceitful soul.
@ dnative,
You have succinctly stated it all well.

@partaki and supporters, whatever has a beginning should have an end. but in the case with your grudges against the poster, i am yet to understand the beginning of it all, and i can't see you putting an end to the struggle. this is nairaland, it is an internet world so there is no need for anyone to entertain a resentment strong enough to justify personal attack at such lengthy period.
ok lets say the poster offended you, if so, did you inform him of his offence and see if he would not apologise?
or, let say your allegations about his multiple ids are right, why didnt you report to the moderator instead of taking the law into your hands? there is no way you can win a case like this in a court. God save us if everyone has to take the laws into his hand, then nairaland will become a battle ground and that would mean that no noble person will want to be a member.
taking the laws into ones hand is a typical nigerian behaviour:
if you have grudges with anyone, talk with the person.
when anyone offends you, inform him of the offence with integrity and see if he wont apologise.
and if a person breaks the rules of the forum, the report him to the moderator and let law take its course. if all these are observed, there will be no need for personal struggle over nothing.
@topic. whetehr the video was live or not is not the point, if i understand correctly, this thread is supposed to be meant for one to understand the importance of confidence during interview, so lets consentrate on the message Rather than on the poster's error. please, lets let peace reign.

It is nice to know that Nigeria are beginning to acknowledge themselves as important as the American. Going for interview in the America embassy is not the same as going to the slaughter house. I see no reason why you should have an iota of fear from the onset. It take guts to get an interactive discussion in the American embassy.
In my case, I introduce myself with the VO when I got to the interview room and requested to know her name. She smile and told me her name. To cut the long story short, we diverted from the interview and she was asking me my choice of candidate in the US election as if i am going to vote. I got my two years visit and I believe everyone has that right to be fearless.
I can give you personal advise if you want. Just give a post. Best Regards
Thank you Bro, tell them. . . |
