Do you need medical exam to secure a tourist visa in Lagos? I don't even think you need medicals for F1 visa.

all you folks now asking him questions didn't you all hear that he is going to pack?

congrats and i hope you don't turn out to be like that people who refuse to answer the questions asked. Besides you can't fault Nairalanders for no answering what if no one had an answer for you or your question just wasn't clear

@ faoni572 & others

I also just got my US tourist visa about 2 weeks ago and all i can tell you is that be confident of yourself and try to answer every question to the best of your knowledge.

First, the documents you need would depend on whether you're a student or you're working. For me, am an accountant working in a multi-national and i supplied:

-A letter from the company confirming me as a staff and stating my annual pay
-My Bank Statements for 6 months
-My Payslips
-Employment letter
-Birth Certificates
- Any other relevant documents relating to your position.

For me, i had my interview in Lagos cos the logistics for Abuja wasn't dere but i was shocked that i was also done in about 3hrs. By 9.45am, my interview was over and i walked out smiling  .

Whether your interview is in Lagos or Abuja, just answer your questions correctly & confidently and always with an intention to come back to naija.   . I'll post some of the questions he asked me later in the thread but i can tell you that he took a good look at my bank statements & the letter from my employer (particularly my annual income - he was very interested in that.  )

@nikkygal , Congratulation to you, I have intention to travel to US for torrism maybe next year when I am on leave, post the question and other information/documents that help you to succed. Already I thank you for the ones you posted above. Once again congratulations to you.

ok due to popular demand, like nikkygal said its very impt that you display intent of coming back- cuz the visa officers can read body language. Im just going for 3weeks anyway and i got multiple entry for 2years. I work for a multinational (one of the big four professional services firms) so all my questions at the interview where based on my job.
The visa officer seemed intrigued by my company and he asked me what i loved about my job, what i actually do for my company etc. he DIDNT even look at any of my supporting docs apart from the letter from my employers and my account statement, not even my invitation letter, or evidence of my host's status in the US etc and most suprising of all, he didnt even ask me about my ties to Nigeria cuz i really dont have any apart from my job.
So it actually helps to have a great job cuz it gives credibility, the two girls before me got rejected cuz the visa officer said he wasnt satisfied with their ties to Nigeria- and they had land,kids etc whereas i am single, using a virgin passport,no land etc -so it also boils down to God's favour.
I went to the embassy with:

- Letter from my employers stating my vacation days and confirming my employment
- Leave approval letter
-6 months pay slip
-6 months bank statement
- Cover letter written by me, stating why i would come back to Nigeria
- Invitation letter& evidence of my hosts status
- tax clearance
- My complimentary business cards
-My work id card
- My employment letter
and a few other things,
but as i said just my bank statement and letter from my employers were used, Goodluck everyone

in fact what you did is so so crazy, how will you come back to apply for f1 visa, when you could easily can your visa statues there..you bleeped up big time..and lastly if your tourist visa is still valid,plse use it to get there, and it either they give u f1visa over there or u die there

LOL... You are very funny

It's a shame that a common tourist visa would require someone to thank the old and new Gods.

Visa is just a means of seeing another country and not a privilege or luxury of any kind. You got a US Visa so what?

He even encouraged people to pray just because they want US Visa. What a mindset!

After the visa, you'd still be whoever you was prior to getting it.
Someone people don't even need these visas you are praying for.
We have the poorest of mindsets in this country.

What a shame. Oh and before you come asking if I travel, I'm leaving a photo I took yesterday behind.
We should stop these rubbish in 2019! Visa shouldn't be something of life and death!
