Does it have any negative effect? NB: My address is Lagos.

They can compare what you said last time with this application.
All the facts must match up or it is fraud.

You must look at why you were rejected last time and put those right.
Usually ties to return home or finances.

You can choose any location to be interviewed. However if were your vo and you were refused just 3 months ago and you sharply zoom to abuja, I (remember this is my opinion.) Would mark you as desperate.
Especially if nothing has changed in your life.

Good morning and happy Sunday all.pls will I be allowed to take medications. Such as worm expeller and antibiotics alongside with me?my mum is planning to give me dry fish and ogbonno too.pls I am a first time traveller to d US and I won't want any issue as regards this at the airport.thanks so much for your continual help.cc Ladyguinivere and all

You can take medications. Just make sure they're in your checked-in luggage.
As for the likes of ogbono, pepper, crayfish, etc. Make sure they're all ground. You can also carry garri if you want.
If you're taking seasoning like Maggi, Knorr, etc, avoid take the plain ones. I think one of crayfish or chicken is not allowed. I'm not quite sure which one now. I know one time I had both, and one was taken away.
Since I can't remember which one, I just buy the plain seasoning.
But make sure you declare EVERYTHING on your customs form

hello the gurus of this platform i have some unrelated questions for some friends

1, Do us embassy still have all information of8 years ago inthe system considering the fact that the forms were fillied manualy then. though biometric taken.
2, having been refused 8 years ago with a different age on pp. what is the appropriate thing to do if reapplying now, alredy traveled to europe with this new pp having 7 years age difference
3, how much of immigration information do usa and canada share, can someone who overstayed with aduro in canada be immidiately known at the embassy even without using same passport.

Not trying to burst your bubble, your details are so contained in the Dept of State database.

Why your age changed overtime is something that will raise a lot of questions need answering.

A warning to say the least.

mostwantedguy:
Can I reapply to be interviewed at Abuja after a denial 3 months ago in Lagos?

Yes and no. No because in my opinion, reapplying to where you were denied is better if you get your application right this time. If I were the VO at Abuja, I would first see your coming to Abuja within a short period of time after a denial at Lagos as a red fleg that warrant that your application be put under search light for any discrepancies. This is because I would think you were running away from something.

I reapplied to the same embassy three months after denial. No single information was change in the application. The same purpose of travel. The only change was word of my mouth. I talked differently this time unlike the first interview with sum "ajasas" added to my speech. And I got it. So get your application right. Reapply to Lagos if you are reapplying soon.
And if it's Abuja, I would suggest you let like a year pass before reapplying.

All this is just a possibility. Not an actual fact.

There is no magic wand that is going to wipe away your past indiscretions.
You will have to work very, very hard to get another visa.

Good morning Nairalanders.
I have been a silent observer of this thread and I promised i was going to share my transcripts, either positive or negative. I had my interview this morning. I was denied but I gained a lot on here, at least I didn't give my kobo to any agent. So here goes...

V.O: GOOD MORNING MADAM, HOW ARE YOU TODAY.
ME: GOOD MORNING, I'M FINE THANK YOU.
V.O: PASSPORTS PLS
ME: (PASSES PASSPORTS)
V.O: WHERE IN THE US ARE YOU GOING?
ME: ORLANDO, FLORIDA
V.O: WHY?
ME: I WISH TO SPEND 10 DAYS OUT OF MY ANNUAL LEAVE THERE
V.O: DO YOU HAVE ANY RELATIVES THERE?
ME: NO
V.O: SO WHY DO YOU WANNA GO ALL THE WAY TO ORLANDO ALL ALONE?
ME: *I got confused and started blabbing* ERM...I WOULD LOVE TO SEE EXCITING PLACES...
V.O: *cuts in* LIKE WHERE?
ME: BEING AN ADVENTUROUS PERSON, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE ISLANDS OF ADVENTURE, WALT DISNEY WORLD, UNIVERSAL STUDIOS, MIAM...
V.O : *cuts in* WHAT DO YOU DO?
ME: I WORK WITH BLEEP AS THE EXECUTIVE BLEEP BLEP
V.O: ARE YOU MARRIED?

V.O: I AM SORRY BLA BLA BLA

I am sorry, its my first post on here.

Legal procedure for name change in life we know.
PLEASE how in God's name can one do a change in age? Dude. This is 2016. Your details can be accessed by the US embassy, if they want to.
The fact that you do not want to own up to your past indiscretions show you are still planning shady things.

And you didn't convince the VO about your purpose of travel. Only u going to Disney. And you stuttered, meaning you really didn't have any travel plans.
Next time, be prepared

A whole lot of "cuts-in" will sure go with this. Pretty sorry for the denial! Your sharing is quite appreciated, as well as your ensuring no agent gained the ascendancy over you unnecessarily/financially. Seems however you did only a few pages "observation" IMO though as expressed @the bolded above, you could have handled this trip's plans and interview better if you did some deeper observation.

@omobendel24, @LadyGuinivere, @justwise, et al, a good day to you all...

I was just confused he asked why I wanted to go alone, I was like, why not? Can't somebody enjoy alone?
This holiday means alot to me. I have not had the opportunity to go for a vacation since 2014 because of my job.

This opportunity came because my workaholic boss decides to go on a vacation. A very good time for me to travel and spoil myself a lil. Its painful oh.

You know, I lost a friend of mine few weeks ago and after like 2 days of her demise, her family members couldn't wait, they started scouting for how to get her atm pin. We were really close, so, 2 of her siblings called me to ask if I knew the pin, like seriously?

This babe worked herself off and saved so much without spending lavishly...this actually inspired me to go for vacation, can't come and die and some useless people will now start eating from where they never sowed...

Can i re-apply? Or i should try UK? I must do sha go for vacation...lols

@larapeperempe I don't understand ? Are you related to basket mouth ? So you want to travel because you don't want your relations to fight for your ATM pin when you die ? Lol . There is more to life don't ever think it's over . If you're single you can still get married n have your own kids . Just believe it works like magic . Don't re-apply soon you can visit other countries ' Dubai , Kenya , South Africa since it's for vacation .

Larapeperempe, if you had given the VO this your response to ladyG instead of the one in your transcript you just might have gotten the visa.

Better luck next time.

Has anyone had such experience? My mother went for a b1/b2 interview and was told her visa was approved and to pick it up 2days later. When she didn't get her passport after 4days, she emailed the embassy and was told interview is requested and she has to come in on a Tuesday afternoon to be interviewed by a consular officer. No docs were asked or required to be submitted, just interview.

Please gurus in the house...from most of the transcripts I have read here, people put how long they intend to stay in the US in "days". Please any explanation would be helpful. I am yet to attend my interview though and mine is in "weeks". I don't want to be denied this visa o...53k nor be beans abeg!

You must be honest.
If you intend to stay a number of weeks then say so.
Be ready to explain what you will be doing, and why you need to stay that time.
Your story should be simple but strong.

You may also be asked again at point of entry when you will be given a time limit for your stay.

Who are those making noises here? Ha!

He don do oh

@LaraPeperempe, have you travelled out before

I want to commend great minds here as I've always learnt great things on this forum.

My question is i'm applying for a DS-160 soon, I want to ask if there's a column to fill my two jobs or I'm just permitted to fill one, but availability to fill the two would be preferred.

I am an ICT Engineer in a Company (main job) and as well I run an ICT firm which I have as a subordinate job. I see to my firm after work hours weekday and fully on weekends, but I have good hands on deck helping while I'm not around, but we do most things together.

So my question, is there an opportunity to fill the two as I'll soon quit my main job for now and base on that ICT enterprise.

Thank you.

@LadyGuinivere and other great minds

Nwanne how is the bread and akara business?
Leave them. Its like they have not heard indomie is now N1,650 a carton. I have been sober since morning when I heard the news.

@Ifeoluwa
Please open the DS 150 first. Go through it. See if there is availability of the optiion to fill two jobs. This same period of time that you were waiting , you would have opened the ds 160 on your browswer. Its always better to look at a situation ist before looking for the challenges.
When you have gone thru the form cam back. I shall be waiting to answer you if you still have that question
