NanaF:
Hi guys.

Do you think it's necessary to carry a business contract document, C of O certificate and CAC document for POE entry to show ties to home country?

You don't need them at POE and carrying them will just confuse matters with the entry control.
Ties to home you prove to the Visa officer to get a visa in the first place.

You gave me a courage to carry on. I almost give up.
I will give it a try and am sure. God will see me through
Thanks

I'm not talking about that level.. That's old school and even Nigerian govt document entry and exit of citizens and visitors... What I'm talking about is a system where they will be able to track(In realtime) every visitor on B1/B2 in U.S like a vehicle tracking system.

Oh, okay, dig! Well well, dem wan dey 'chook' us something henceforth abi dem wan put something for our passports or for wia we no go know of?

Any which way, wee ya kwoming and gwoing back home, nothing to fia! Kwom and chop for now....

What's dis rumour of people being turned back at POE when they enter the US through some Arab airline Emirates, Qatar, Turkish et al.

Any truth in this..? Although I don't believe it

You can NOT get a visa allowing you to work or hussle!
Do not pay 1N to any so called agent that says they can!
Visas are for visit with no work, or student with very limited work.
To obtain a working visa you must have a highly skilled job offer and the company will sponsor your visa.

Thank you guys so much for the good work you are doing here. Indeed honesty do pay, my visa was approved today and here is the transcript.
VO:Good morning(with a big smile) your passport please
Me:Good morning, how is work today
VO :Fine thank you, so Madam what do you want to go and do in US
Me: I want to go and visit my brother cause since the death of our eldest brother he has been depressed and we are worried about him
VO :What do you do
Me: Am a teacher at................
VO :How long have your brother been in the US
Me: since 2003 and he is a citizen
VO :Are you married
Me: Yes with three kids
VO : Where does your brother stay
Me: I told her
VO : Are you traveling with your family
Me: I didn't get her well so I told her yes-my mother
VO :No I mean your kids
Me: Oh no, am not going for vacation just visiting my brother cause am really worried about him
VO :Have you traveled out of Nigeria before
Me: No, never had any reason to
VO: What does your husband do
Me:I told her he owns his own business
VO :How old are your kids
Me :I told her(don't know why she asked that)
VO :Go pick your passport on Friday
Me: Thank you

When I was on the queue a lady infront of me pointed the window 7 and said the lady is so nice cause she was the one that approved her visa(she came for her kids) . Right there I told God I want her and fortunately I was told to queue up in front of her. Meanwhile I was silently following the thread and everything I did was learnt from here. Thanks guys

Please stop the transaction with the agent, he/she will cause you more harm than good. You will end up having alot of fake information filed up on your behalf, and possible earn you a lifetime BAN. Cook up any story NOW, and get off the deceitful ship. Read this thread carefully and digest the experiences shared here freely, use that as a guide as you apply for the visa yourself. The only information you can remember for a lifetime is the truth, and not fake information to make your form look delicious. Someone here got her visa, she earns 40k which she genuinely filled in her form.

We HAVE seen this many times.

please house does canadian embassy shares applicant's information with american embassy? I've got someone who has applied for student visa once into canada couple of years ago and waz denied. Now he is trying to apply for an american visa. He is worried the american embassy would know he's once denied a canadian visa. please i need some light in this dark issue. Thanks

Visa denial means little or nothing to most embassies, each application is evaluated on its own merits. Better to state the obvious that give them reason to wonder what else you are hiding. Embassies and missions abroad share info all the time. If there is a space for that when filling the form he should state it, if non and asked during the interview he should explain.

Wowww lucky you. My family and I were denied on this same day. I hope to apply alone again this month but I'm scared of my purpose of vist.then my occupation also reads graduate student. Advise pls?

proddey:
I just have to share my transcript as this forum really helped me in preparing for my US Visa interview. Had my interview on Wednesday, 25th January 2017 in Lagos. Before the interview, I had prepared a list of 19 potential questions that they could possibly ask based on the information that I gathered on this site. I had adequate responses for all of them and rehearsed them several times thoroughly before the interview date. Documents I took with me are:
- int. passport,
- one passport-size photograph,
- DS-160 confirmation page,
- interview appointment confirmation page,
- and GTBank visa payment receipt.

All other documents such as bank statements, pay slips, letter of employment, whatever whatever are absolutely not required. There's no point taking them to the embassy because they're not even going to look at them. You can take previous passports with you if you've traveled out of the country before and have visas on them but that's all. I left my phone at home also since they wouldn't permit you to take it inside. Don't patronize the touts, you don't need their services if you have the above documents in order. Just ignore the touts.

VO: Good morning
Me: Morning, Hi, how's work going?
VO: Pass me your passport
Me: I passed it, fidgeting a little bit.
VO: Why are you going to the US?
Me: I just finished a very hectic project so I just decided to take a vacation and visit my brother. VO nods affirmatively
VO: Where are you going to in the US?
Me: Miami, Florida
VO: What do you do for a living?
Me: I'm a Civil Engineer by profession
VO: Are you married?
Me: No I'm not, but I have parents with health issues that I take care of. VO nods affirmatively
VO: Do you have a child?
Me: No I don't
VO: I can see that you've been to the US before
ME: Yeah
VO: When was that?
Me: blah blah blah… I told her the year.
VO: Oh, you were a child?
Me: Yeah I was a minor then
VO: Tell me about your work?
Me: blah, blah, blah.... I gave her a very detailed and lengthy description of my work exactly how I filled it in the DS-160 form while she's reading from her screen and constantly nodding affirmatively. Before I could finish telling her about my job, she's flings the white paper at me and tells me to pick up my visa in 3 days’ time

The interview didn't last up to 45 seconds.

Lessons learned: I had told myself that the visa interview is not a do or die affair. It's not a matter of life and death. I believed my chances of getting the visa was 50/50. I prepared well enough and planned that if I didn't get the visa I'd reapply in 3 months’ time. It’s when you take this visa thing like a do or die affair that you’ll start fidgeting during the interview and you wouldn’t answer the questions with confidence.
Once I left the embassy, I got to the bus stop outside the embassy about to take a bus to Obalende. While waiting for Obalende Bus, a danfo bus, with about four police men in it, parked in front of me and one of the police officers got down to search what was in my bag. After searching and found nothing incriminating, they let me go. I didn’t really know why they stopped to search me. Were they just doing a random stop and search or had they been trailing me from the embassy? Then one guy at the bus stop started talking to me about why these police men do stop and search and said sometimes they could be fake police men who could drop something incriminating in your bag and later arrest you for nothing.
As for me, I'm always very cautious of strangers who start talking to me at the bus stops in Lagos because I've fallen victim of them twice so I was on high alert throughout his conversation. This guy acted like he wasn't going anywhere but when the Obalende bus came, I waited to see if he would enter but he didn’t. As the bus was about to take off I quickly got inside. Immediately he saw that I had entered the bus, he also quickly jumped inside the bus. That was when I suspected that this guy must be up to something. It's possible that he had been trailing me from the embassy. I immediately got off the bus and waited for the bus to go far before I joined another bus. I beat him to his game!. I suspect that he was either trying to follow me to my destination to know where I was staying or he was probably working for the police who had stopped to search me earlier. Outside the embassy earlier, I had seen a friend of mine who asked me if my visa application was successful and I said yes. It's probable that this tout heard our conversation and started following me.

Anyway the lesson is that once you get your visa, always keep a straight face and don't talk to anyone. you never can tell who might be following you. Always be on high alert.

lol exactly, many of us ACTED the tourist ish. Key thing here is please dont let the agent mess up your information at the embassy, it will surely come back and bite you even if visa is issued now. Count your loss and possibly move on, agents most times always believe in boosting application, he might still make one ot two alterations to your real details and facts.

In my occupation he wrote only student and filled single for me.purpose is to attend brother's wedding february ending. I didn't want to contradict the form when the vo asked if I was married or had kids. It was my 1st application. Now, I'd love to reapply again but what would my purpose be? Should I still go for the feb ending wedding? Should I apply again as single though engaged cos it would have been to soon to be married?and as graduate student again ?since my job status wasn't filled in d last application?please house help a distressed sis out!

me I was even thinking if someone had p go through an agent ..the agent should have provided someone all the infos he filled in so that there won't be any contradiction .. Just a thought...cos I can't imagine an agent filling infos on my behalf without letting me know the content ..*someone will just be like an English graduate going for an engineering interview*

I'm sorry dear but most likely your visa will still be refused. Do not waste your money. You misrepresented. Now you want to apply so soon after. That reeks of desperation, in my opinion.
After such a misrepresentation, your best bet is to wait a Bit

*people in the house can also contribute ooo****bro ..then also I wanna ask.. Let's say I have processed this stuff to the stage of the interview ..and I was asked if I got someone in the states ..what are the oppurtunies tied to me me saying a Yes or No..but truth to be told,I don't have anyone in d states.
ALso , someone explained to me that if I succeed in the interview .I will be given a 2yrs visa but at the POE , I will be given 6months ..meaning I should exit on or before 6months back to my country,and my failure to do so , I have automatically turn to an illegal immigrant ...I want to know if that's true ? This really baffles me
