Welcome to part 5 of this thread. Old things must pass away, and new things take effect!n (Although the info in Parts 1, 2 3 and 4 remain priceless and Must/Ought to be read by any serious applicant.Part 2 was wonderful. Lots of lovely people offering great advice. Each in their own unique style. You guys rock!!! You know yourselves.


For sample transcripts of some interviews (as posted by the users of this thread) Please check this link https://www.nairaland.com/download/4692218


Finally, Lying on your ds 160 or during the interview is misrepresentation and a crime. This thread's aim is not to teach / coach applicants on how to lie. The truth is ALWAYS the best course of action no matter the situation. Please DO NOT ask about how to misrepresent on this thread.

I'm grateful to God that I am alive to create this new part. And for the several friends I have made hereon.

Thank you.
Humbly
LadyGuinivere & Justwise

Keep the fire burning....

Good day everyone,
How much is 5yrs UK Visiting visa as at this week?

Malevonent:
in my search for cheap flights to usa, i came across egyptian airline....seems to be tyhe cheapest at 1.25m to washington. anybody has experience with them?......i recall a post where someone was questioned about his trip to egypt by POE officers....when his was just a stopover

if you transit in Egypt with Egyptair, your passport will not be stamped since you did not leave the International Airside.
Egyptair is not really bad, expect no luxury, getting to U.S is the most important thing and I can assist with cheap ticket although with the exchange rates you won't find any cheap ticket nowadays.

Good day guys,
Do I need a transit visa to pass through New Delhi onward to Australia?
Do I need a transit visa to pass through Singapore onward to Australia?
and same for Malaysia?
Thank you.

hommiekr:
I and my family flew with them to Asaba in December. Very good airline and we enjoyed the flight and their services.

babs4all:
Good day great people. Please I need guidance. I have a valid Schengen visa on a passport that will expire in October. I just got my US visa on my new passport. I will be travelling in July to Europe and travel to America from Europe.
How do I handle the passport presentation to immigration officers in Nigeria, Europe and America? Do I have to present the 2 to Immigration guys in Naija and in Europe? When leaving Europe, do I have to present the two?
Please your advice is required. Preferably someone that had similar experience.
Thanks

You mean you have 2 active Nigeria passport or 2 different passport from 2 different countries?

Please can someone that travelled recently confirm this?

Depending on the Airline, they will request for Covid test at the transit country but CBP won't request for it in U.S.A

karixz:

21. They are not sponsoring me though. My relative just wants to chip in but I don’t want the person there

How was your interview?

karixz:

if you're traveling together and you included them in your ds160 take their visa along for you interview.

karixz:
Good evening house.
Please I need a very urgent answer to this question.
I have my visit visa interview tomorrow and my relative who has a valid visit visa said they are going to follow me to my interview and talk to the visa officer with me.
Is this actually possible?

How old are you? I'll advise you to take their visa along for your interview.

Eriokanmi:
Check very well to be sure you're not using any of the unauthorized characters and try again. You may also log out and retry on another browser, esp Google chrome. Always use Google chrome only , when filling out your DS160

Honestly I've never used google chrome for any ds160... I prefer Firefox

AbigailUkaegbu:




No one has answered my question

Yes

Eriokanmi:
UWC. The covid-19 was a good reason not to travel during that period. The entire globe was affected by the pandemic in one way or the other as everyone had a story to tell. I was one of those who narrowly escaped covid-19's arm of death. I was an index case. I infected my beautiful family as well but we all came out of it through God's mercies. I had never been so sick in my life. Everything just changed within 3 days with collapsed lungs. I was already praying to God to forgive my sins cos no sign of improvement despite all the prescribed drugs taken, kai. I shared the horrible experience on NL sometime ago. I renewed my German Shengen visa late 2019, thinking I'd use it in 2020, alas!. Till it expired late 2021, I couldn't use it due to same reason. I hope I'd not be on a hot seat by the time I go back there to renew. Good luck to you.

We thank God for your life... stay strong bro.

visol:
Good day Nairalanders, Please, can you provide me with answers to both questions below:

1. I just received my I-20 document and I need to pay the SEVIS Fee to book a visa appointment. I tried to use WesternUnion, but it appears that Nigerians in Nigeria are not allowed to make payments via WesternUnion. Please how do I make this SEVIS Fee payment here in Nigeria.

2. Can payments for flight tickets to the US from Nigeria be made in Naira (If yes what rate is usually used) or it must be in USD?

Thank you for the anticipated feedback!!

If you have someone in the U.S they can help with payment.
I can assist with flight ticket to the U.S.

Dansakimotors:

Went for my Interview and Luckily for me was asked to pick up my Visa 5-10 working days time. Am so happy i did not go and waste exorbitant money to buy interview date. God wey do my own go do una own to.

Can you share the Interview Transcript? Congratulations

YoungMetrosG:
Submitted my passport for IW on March 23rd and status has finally changed to APPROVED today, Tuesday, May 2nd. Does anyone have any idea how long it will take for me to get my passport? I have a visa appointment on Friday, May 5th and wondering if I will have to reschedule it. Any ideas?

After Approved you will have to wait for it to change to Issue, then it will be transfer to DHL, So expect between 2-4 weeks.

Good day guys and I like to share my wife's Interview transcript at the US Embassy, Abuja, I was fortunate to get a date in April, 2023 for her, Below is the transcript.

VO: Can I have your Passport
Wife: Good day, please have it.
VO: Why are you going to US?
Wife: My husband is taking me on vacation to New York City.
VO: Oh okay.
VO: Where do you work?
Wife: I am the manager of.....
VO: Where do you work?
Wife: I work as the manager of.....
VO: Do you have children?
Wife: Yes....I am blessed with 2 kids
VO: Your kids are hear in Nigeria?
Wife: Yes
VO: Have you traveled out of the country?
Wife: Yes, I've been to South Africa twice and Ghana severally.
VO: Where does your husband work?
Wife: He is ....... and work with .......
VO: Does your husband have a valid US Visa?
Wife: Yes, he has been to New York twice and I have his passport here with me
VO: Can I see?
Wife: Yes, she gave him and he checked it out and type.
VO: how long are you going to stay in NYC? is it for 2 weeks?
Wife: No, 10 days actually.
VO: I see, he typed for a while and hands over husband's passport and said the magic word, that he will be issuing a US Visa for her while smiling..... and gave her the white paper for Passport pick up.
Wife: At this point, she's not hearing him.

My wife noted that the issuance rate was high on that day and also, that the V.O took their time with the applicant interview.

You should have attended the conference alone, it's a business trip... when you return you can apply for your family. The V.O is not convinced you will return to Nigeria with your family, you're going for U.S Visa interview for the first time with your main ''ties''

segsdynamic:
I had my B1/B2 interview yesterday 18th Apr and my visa was denied along with my wife and my 3yrs old baby.

Location: U.S embassy Lagos

Our interview timing scheduled for 7:30 a.m we reach embassy around 5:45am, soon the security screening started and people started lining up according to the timing slot. We were lined up and like 70 other applicant were in front of us. But due to the fact that we had a baby, the security guys gave us expedite service and we were brought to the front row for the security check.

Fast forward getting to the interview hall. Also many applicants were aiidy lined up. Again they gave us expedite services and we were lined up to the front when they want to check our documents. The guy collected our passport and after checking all our docs. He asked me hw old is our baby and I said 2 n half years old, he then insert a pink carbon paper inside my baby's passport that we can show them on the next queue so they will attend to us fast.

Again they place us in the front to have our biometric. It was a white woman who did our biometric, and told us my baby won't need to do biometric .. but my baby insist she wanna do biometric and started disturbing us.

Now, after biometric and again they took us to counter window 5. It was a black America lady.
She approves the 2 guys in front of us for F1 visa.
