@seyewest, pardon my naivity, i'm a 1st time traveller. The only reason I am considering landing @nyc is the cost. I could save as much as 200k+ if I do so. I have read of some being turned back at the POE and don't want to experience such. Do u then feel my tellin them the decision to fly to NYC first was because of the cost is weighty enough for the strictest personnel to waive such. My final destination is about 3hrs from nyc.‎

My conference was in Atlanta but I came in through JFK all they asked for was my domestic ticket to Atlanta.

Hello house.....visa was approved on Thursday, transcript uploaded. Please can anyone help with the description to the gss document collection center in VI? I'm not a lagosian. Please help before I loss for road tomorrow

Sometimes, a return ticket will be cheaper than two one way tickets. Check well, especially if you already know the date you will connect back to New York.

Safe travels.

Emirates is offering $1100 approx to NY today (Global sales- till 18th Jan. for travel between 16 Jan to 15 June). Typically their online Naira prices should reflect. Check their conditions sha: the funny people may limit baggage allowance.

Alternatively.
Colonize the corner of one area, preferably near where the sockets are. Make sure you carry adaptor, you will make many friends through this (your new friends, will come in handy, when nature calls and you need to leave your kingdom). Frown your face at anyone trying, to waylay your little kingdom. Keep your hand luggage as pillow or as leg rest. Invite a fellow Nigerian, to discuss things only a Nigerian will appreciate

I remember using my laptop at airport, about 4 people come at once to use USB port to charge they phone, I drink free drink for they head, use the lounge free Wi-Fi download movie full my laptop, honestly if not in rush I like stop over flight.

The DHL office is on Muri Okunola Street. If getting to VI by public transport, you can get a Keke from many parts of VI to take you there. If driving from the mainland or from Ajah, head towards Mobil House on Ozumba Mbadiwe: Muri Okunola is two streets away behind Mobil House and you can stop at the Mobil Filling station beside Mobil House to ask for directions.

You can do either. If you buy it from here (likely the cheaper option), give yourself a lot of time between when you arrive and when your connecting flight will leave (in case of any delays).

About buying it on arrival, I don't know about US airports (yet), but in many countries, you can find airlines desk/office within the airport. I guess you will want to buy it before reaching the CBP.

You can use any recent passport photograph (I guess with a specific dimension)

Just got back from the US consulate. Here's my transcript:
Vo: Good morning
Moi: Good morning
Vo: Why are you going to the US
Moi: My brother is getting married
Vo: Are you married?
Moi : Yes
Vo: Do you kids?
Moi: We are expecting our first child
Vo: Sorry you're not qualified...

I dunno what went wrong.. House, what is wrong ?

Did u apply alone?

When asked if you have a kid, so long as the kid hasn't yet been born, the answer is no, if you say yes, where is the birth certificate? You get?

Have you been rejected before?

Why are you going to the US? My brother is getting married (very weak answer, better to have said, you are representing his family from Nigeria in your brother's wedding and that you guys have been close since childhood).

I hope your brother is in the US legally?

IMO, you did nothing wrong
An unborn child is a tie
Going for a wedding is a purpose
I hve been here long enough to see the trend change. Back in the day, vos were ok with marriage alone. But your naija brethren have been flying withour perching so the vos are now shooting and reloading at the same time; no stopping!
I am not your vo. Don't know about your job, lenght of work, salary or travel history. The vo saw all these and was not satisfied. The day the vo will be ok with your ties, you can even have ' to touch the empire state building ' as your purpose.
Pele.

It won't be bad if wikileaks can ehmm 'accidentally' hack into the US Embassy in Nigeria and leak the reasons, why the VO's deny people.

I once tried the diversity visa way back in 2012 with a wrong date of birth n now my passport bears the correct date of birth. I did not win in d lottery but now 2017, married with kids and a good job n wants to attend a conference in Georgia. Do I stand, will my past error not haunt me. Plz advice

@lagosNIV

Thanks LadyG .. I remember now, he asked if I have ever traveled outa Nigeria and I told him I have been to two countries in Africa.. Tanzania and Ghana. That was before he asked abt my marital status. Tanzania was work related and Ghana was personal. Do you think I need to have more travel history before I reapply? But my brother's wedding is in Feb.

Hope it was not entered knowingly? Since you were not picked for the Diversity Lottery, you seem to be in luck here. Apply, and sin no more.

Well, if I have a child of course I would have my child's birth certificate. Secondly, it's my first time at the embassy and Yes my brother is there legally.
