Is there anyone who has applied for a Standard Visitor Visa this month (September) and had their visa processed within 15 working days?

I did my Biometrics since 3rd September, am still waiting to hear from them.

I registered on the https://www.nouonline.net for post graduate admission and paid the registration fee through REMITA. After payment, on REMITA, a receipt was sent to me, when I enter the RRR* on https://www.nouonline.net Check Remita Payment status , i get the message Payment record for 3303-2212-xxxx not available!.

Please what can i do in this case?

I Have been following this thread closely.

This thread has been very helpful.

I have this question. This is my first time of applying to the US.

am Married with 3 kids and I have a job and have been to
1. Ireland
2. Saudi Arabia
3. Nairobi
4. London
I also got Shengen Visa to Paris but was unable to travel before the 1 month validity of the VISA expired due to the fault of our Partners in Paris. I reapplied immediately after expiration of my Schengen Visa as our partners were ready to recieve us, but was denied VISA.


Note that am an IT Engineer working for an IT Company and am going to the US on behalf of my company to carry out some system Upgrade at the our client's branches in NEW YORK, ATLANTA and WASHINGTON.

I am scheduled for an interview soon. Please what are my chances since i was denied Schengen VISA recently (December 2018)

Thanks to all those making meaningful contrubutions on this thread. I came here and gathered a lot of useful information especially on how well to prepare for the interview and possible questions that may be asked.

Appointment time: 8am friday 15th March 2019
Location: Abuja Consulate
Time of arrival : 7.45am
Met 70 or more people. Didnt really count

The countenance of those before me werent pleasant as Pink slip was flying everywhere. I maintained a positive energy and went in for the interview and made sure I was confident. I picked most of the questions generally asked from this thread and had rehearsed my answers before the interview.

My Transcript.
Me: Good morning
VO: May I have your passport please?
Me: Sure, handed over the passport

VO. What do you do?
ME: I work as an IT Engineer for xyz company and am responsible for ...............

VO: How many years have you worked for xyz company ?
ME: 7 years

VO: How many kids do you have ?
ME: 3 kids

VO: Have you been outside Nigeria before ?
Me: Yes, I have been to Ireland, UK, Saudi and Kenya

VO: Why are you going to New York?
ME: Am going to New York to carry out some upgrade/maintenance work on some of our systems at the Nigerian Consulate in NewYork

VO : Since its an official trip, why didnt you use an official passport?
ME: I work for a private company that is a technical consultant to the Federal Govt, so as a private company, we are not entitled to Offical Passport

VO: Typed for about 2 mins, turned off the mic and said she would be right back. Walked out of the cubicle with my passport to consult with another VO on my application.

VO: Returned to the cubicle and handed over the white form to me and said am approving your visa. Your passport will be ready for collection.........................( at this point either she was inaudible to me or the joy of getting the Visa on my first attempt overwhelmed me that i couldnt hear her again)
ME: Thank you. Collected the Visa approval slip and walked out giving thanks to God for the success on my 1st attempt.

Walked out at about 9.39am feeling so elated.

KaptainAfrika:
"am going to the US on behalf of my company to carry out some system Upgrade at the our client's branches in NEW YORK, ATLANTA and WASHINGTON."

Key points. IMHO.

- Why are you being sent from Nigeria to do this, and not someone in the US ?

- Are you going to paid in the US, for this?

- Did you apply for a tourist visa (you are not permitted to work under this visa category)

- My company is a technical consultant to a Govt Parastatal, and am going to upgrade the system in the US branches resident in Nigerian consulates

- No not paid, my company is sponsoring the trip and ll BILL the Nigerian Govt.

-YES B1/B2

I read in a post that someone was initially given the visa but later denied simply because Shengen had denied him visa

Okay.Thanks bro.

You are welcome.

Have you gone back for a refund, i was at TRANSCORP Hilton today to collect my money. It was refunded. How about you?

It still remains my best Indian movie till date. I never got tired of watching it.

Had the same experience.Was scheduled to follow Arik from Abuja yesterday.Had to also return by road.The thing is,their message was silent on refunds.Did you get a refund?Didn't bother going to the airport after getting the message.

They didn't say anything about refund. Neither did I go to their office or airport. But I intend going to their Transcorp Hilton office on Monday morning to make claim. I don't think they refund cash though, but I think they give voucher or open ticket which can be used for another travel.
