@CAPPADONA,

femiflukis:

Well, i had my interview in Abuja, got there like half 6,
We werent let in till a few minutes to 8am, so, we had to wait a while, I was like the 20th person, i was nervous but confident,
Anyway,i was let in there were 3 interviewers, all male, 1 very nice guy , 1 moderate, 1 extremely mean dude(this guy was shouting at the top of his voice at several applicants and even threatened to have a lady thrown out),
Anyway it was my turn, i was about going to the nastiest guys cubicle(at this point i was worried but then i thought, all the more glory for GOD, if it had to be him)
Anyway just as i was about heading to his cubicle, a spot freed up and the nice guy quickly dismissed a fellow b4 me, and then it was my turn, )

ME:Goodmorning, ?(he doesnt hear), i say it again as loud as i can ,
Consular:Goodmorning, documents passports and i 20 please
ME;I PASS THEM ALONG
he puses, types a few stuff on his computer
CONSULAR; WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO IN THE US
ME; IM GOING FOR A DUAL DEGREE PROGRAMME, MPH MBA IN JOHN HOPKINS UNI
AT this point he looks at my I 20 throughly, now the amount the school said i had for the funds far exceeded the tuition and the living expenses ,
CONSULAR:HOW DO YOU INTEND TO PAY,
ME; MY FATHER;

CONSULAR;DID U WRITE ANY STANDARDISED TEST?
ME:YES ,, I HAND HIM MY GRE SCORES , WHICH WERENT BAD I HAD A 1400, NODS HIS HEAD ,
CONSULAR:WHO FILLED THIS APPLICATION AND WHERE?
ME:AT HOME, IN LAG,

Emeka Samuel, Abuja. Why not Lagos??
@all,
pls who has been to Lagos consul lately ooo
Everybody dey run go Abuja??

The U.S. Department of State yesterday announced a worldwide increase in visa application processing fees for some categories of non-immigrant visas.

The Department of State said it was increasing the fees to ensure sufficient resources to cover the rising cost of processing nonimmigrant visas.

The U.S. Embassy in Abuja and the U.S. Consulate-General in Lagos will begin collecting the new fees from non-immigrant visa applicants having interviews scheduled on or after June 4, 2010, said a statement by the Public Affairs Section of the US Diplomatic Mission in Nigeria.

Applicants for all visas that are not petition-based, will pay $140. Application fee for petitioned-based work visas (H, L, O, P, Q, and R visas) is $150; for fiancé or K visas, $350; and for investor or E visas, $390. All fees are payable in U.S. dollars or equivalent in Naira, the statement said.

Guys going for interview should take note of this change in fee.
Goodluck to u guys

Hello house i got my visa today at the US embassy Abuja.They verify my waec certificate and i was told to go and pick up my visa next tuesday .Please anybody going to the US embassy should go with genuine document because the consular told me i would have been ban from entering US for life if my waec certificate was fake.please take note




I want to thank you all ,gongo aso,Kenzema,pittbaby or so etc Thank you all you guys are the best and this US visa thread is the best on nairaland.



All new applicant just go through from section 1 to 80 read all, the questions the consular will ask is already answer here it work for me.

Congratulations legzy, i think once you have submitted genuine documents and your case deferred pending administrative processing, you have one foot in america,
Pls guys, lets try and do the right thing(easier said than done) and try as much as possible to be of exemplenary behaviour when we get to the states(i will start from myself) , this visa stuff shudnt be a big deal, out of all the prospective students going to my school i was the only one worried abt the embassy,,,even guys from supposedly 'lesser countries'werent bothered, they even took their spouses along and were all issued visas,
lets remember that whether we like it or nt our actions affect others,

I wonder what the rate of success on this thread is ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,someone should consider doing this research

Thanks so much bro,i understand your point here and will sure be of good behaviour .Yes this thread is the best we really need the research though.

@legzy, congrats
pls post interview questions.
Do you stay in abuja?

I will post soon ,i stay in Lagos just book my interview for Abuja .I was told abuja is better than lagos by everyone including nairaland.

Hmmmmmmmmm,
Mine is at Lagos oooooo.
@khunleah,

Lagos is not bad, although u knw pple are always much here. Just be confident and more prayerful, once u r here on this thread u will get good report. Read all the guidelines, u wil get it. we r all achievers here. OBAMA don get us plenti ,

HEy guys, I just started reading this thread today and i find it very interesting and helpful. I got admission and scholarship(including grad assistantship) to study in the US(MSc, Physics) and my I-20,scholarship and admission letter will arrive next week. Do i still need financial documents at the embassy since I am on GRA as stated on my I-20.
Also I currently work for a federal government research commission and I started work this month. Do I need to go with my appointment letter ad a prove that i will come back to Nigeria?

Anti-Christ in the building.You are on your own here o. I wonder how some people like u reason.

@waleprizeu

You should still go with your private supporting financial documents.With this you prove you are able to fund your education if funding from school stops.Fundings from school is always based on funds availability and might be withdrawn anytime if some conditions are not meant.

@others

Is NYSC completion mandatory for students going for graduate degrees?Does it affect the granting of the visa in any way?

anti-christ ko, anti-christ ni

scandavanians are one of the most non-religious set of people but i bet they sure do get more travel opportunities than nigerians. saudi arabians are all allah believing muslims but dat dont prevent them from being issued visas. so, my question stands. . .

what has god got to do with the issuance of a travel visa?

I think u need to go back to school.How on earth would u say scandavanians are the most non-religious?
It's only a fool that would even argue with u here cos u are suffering from Attention Disorder.
U brought this statement to get attention but nobody would give u that here.
Mothersucker.

@ nethacker

Thank you.Which GRE & TOEFL test center(s) would you recommend?How much did the test cost you in total sum when you took them last year?My email is aroy120@yahoo.com If am able to have yours, that would be preferable and better.

it depends on ur level, if u r coming here for grad, u will take GRE/GMAT depending on ur discipline but toefl is not neccessary.
