My Experience At The American Embassy Abuja

Thanks ya all for everything the support the talk the suggestion and all. Well this waz my experience at the American embassy in Abuja you should learn 1 or 2 from this.
Arrived Abuja went straight to Peak hotel about 10km drive from venue of my interview Diplomatic drive. Went to have some drinks at night with some old friends. Was at the embassy as early as 7am my 156 AND 157 where cross checked by the consular security I must confess that those guys where extremely friendly compared to there frustrated colleagues in Lagos. Went in by 8:15. My appointment letter confirmed again took my biometrics and sat down. I must confess at this point I was tensed up the first three applicants where practically given a us visa at a platter of Gold. Then I was called upon thus goes the interview.

VO- why u want to go to the US
Dante- told him
VO-how old are u
Dante- told him
VO- whats your level of education
Dante told hm
VO how much do u earn
Dante-told him\
VO- wahts ur responsiblility at work
Dante- told him
VO- wahst the status of your host
Dante- that was where I goofed
VO-sorry your not eligible for a US visa today am not going to stamp ur passport either thanks for your time.

That was it my passport was handed over to me without any stamp was short and brief I give it to those guys they are good. Note that not a single document was requested from me taking into consideration that I have traveled out and so I think he feels that I came prepared so he walked on my psychology instead. Am not given up my brothers and sisters I must be in US before the end of this year the reason is this I want to see wats with the US . Abuja is better and more organized than Lagos embassy. I have learnt from my mistake am goin back with same of everything not changing anything already booked another appointment this time around in Lagos. Wasn’t even told why I was denied which was unusual all others where told but I wasn’t. That’s how far with my trip in Abuja. Thanks once again for everything. Documents don’t matter with the Americans be it scanned or what ever if God is with u then ure getting it no matter what.

I think your comportment and coordination plays a major role in your success or failure at especially the American embassy.
Most V.Os play a psyche test on you, and as soon as you bungle it, it's over.

Anyways, keep trying, dreams do come true!You probably would make it - even this year.

The fact of the matter is if you are in control of that split moment of decision,,you are a winner.
So next time you pray, ask God to favor you in that moment of decision

your so funny was my experience a good news, i mean whats the use of me coming to tell my experience to the whole world when it wasnt a 100 percent succes if u want to learn fom this u do if u don't want to u SHUT UP. i guess we gat diffrent kind of beings on this forum. i mean GOSH sorry to say but ur STUPID its so painfull when idiots like you comment on people this was my experience wasnt telling u so that next time i go to the embassy i would get a visa just want to share my experience i mean its my laptop, my internet connection, my time, my log in ,ur not paying for it are u, so whats do i need u for.

Guy u really did take not of that  line. now my uncle was the peson inviting me and so his name was what i had on my DS 156 form. now the VO asked me

VO- whats the status of ur cousin
Dante- he is a citizen

immediatlly i said that he frowned i tell u my brother everything before that question was pefect cause i was confident.

now my unccle is a resident permit holder not a citizen but his wife and kids are citizen so when he used the word COUSIN i thought he meant my uncles son. that was where i GOOFED if not i had it all worked out but i guess its alll for us to listen carefully before given an answer next time its 50 50 cause my passport wasnt stamped. you could holla if u still need any more clerifications
ciao.

Aaaawwwww, never mind, you have a resilient character, so chin up and re-apply. Why don't you re-apply through Abuja again since that branch is staffed by humans as opposed to the lagos branch which is staffed by morons and arseholes, as someone mentioned. 

Keep the faith, the same God that made the UK/Dublin trip possible will see you through.

Can someone clear me on this.

What if I go to the embassy without any invitation from US. That is I don't want  to get any member of my family or friends involved on my coming . Apart from,conference , seminar invitation from the organisers.

Please does anyone know how long visa application info is retained in the US embassy system ?
I was told previously that its erased from their system after 6 months, is that true ?

Kai, I pity u o o. U better don't make that mistake. Your Info is there

hi guys, i have learnt quite a lot in a shortwhile i visited this site. its very informative.
Please i am puzzle on what to wear on my interview date which is to take place later this year.
Also, how does it really go right from the gate. I haven't been to American embassy before but with what i read here, it seems more like a place where theres is so much dissappointment.

I once asked a friend about what to wear, and he told me i could put on native with cap.(something casual). i am one of the lucky winners of the visa lottery. Do people in that category have preferential traetment.

Thanks in anticipation of your response.

Is a medical exam report part of requirements for a visitors visa to the US? and Tax clearance certificate?

hi ddoctor,
please can you hint me on how you got appointment with the embassy. i've been trying to book but don't really know what to do because all the slots are filled.

would appreciate your kind and urgent response. must we pay for this? its not as if its an assurance for the visa itself

thanks
