how it went down and my transcript below..

I got to the embassy around 5am. My appointment was for 6:30am. We were called into the CGI session for payment verification and the rest at about 6am.. I was like the 5th person on the non immigrant session. Wen I got to the CGI staff for my confirmation, Immediately I droped my Visa fee payment receipt to confirm na so the guy shut fraudulent document. We going to hold you down. I was like am I dreaming? Payment that I made online directly from my account? What's this guy talking about... It was so strange. So couldn't hold my self I had to make a scene out of it which warranted one guy that was acting as their boss got to me asked what was the issue... The useless guy which was forming don wetin I no know come ask me say was that why I was shouting? I told him his guy shouted first and called me a fraud how can he do such a thing? If he suspect my receipt for any reason, he should have ask me to sit down and make his verifications before vilification. Omo na so they "boss" tell me say since they are not ok... that I should go and do the verification in the bank by myself... can u imagine that? That he's through with me and I can go... hmmmm. Na that time the guy know say my para been dey do press up... because wetin him see.. him no believe... finally sha, I cool down oh. lol... Because I see say Na me go loose both my time and purpose of my being there. I had already book my flight to return to PH for today so every time wasted was at my detriment. To cut story shut... The guy succeeded in wasting over 2 hrs of my precious time with abeg from his colleagues, he finally let me in. Naija sha. So after that seasonal film, I finally had my confirmation done and bounced into the main building. Though I still dey para.. I was like wen I will be waiting for my turn, I will try to organise myself because the guy really disorganised me. My people lo and behold... I didn't know that I won't have such time. From the moment I stepped in to the fingerprint session to the interview session was less than 2 mins. As I want to find a way to escape to reorganise myself na so them ask me to stand on figure 3 as I was walking to it the VO don shout next... I say Gesuss... what. I manage walk to her and as I was going I saw white paper with the lady that was leaving and I was like this one as just approved, will she approve another one... before I know I'm facing VO.. Gbam gbam...

Me: Good morning ma'am

VO: Good morning

VO: Where you going to?

Me:Am going to Wisconsin....stuttered hmm to Wisconsin for my masters in OSHT from Wisconsin State University... immediately I finished I realise my F UP... my school was actually University of Wisconsin Stout. I wanted to correct myself but something in me said leave it.. she probably didn't hear you. Na so I leave her oh.

VO: how did you get to know about this school

Me: stuttered again... went back to that old line of Internet research bla bla bla... In me I was like God.. what's happening to me... at this point I actually paused and I was lucky she didn't give a follow up question that would have finished it..so I added a staff of chevron on one of our platforms actually attend this school and he says so much good about their program been well rooted in tech with so much emphasis on management courses that will allow the student interfere appropriately with all employees at different levels.
VO: what are the causes you are going to take
Me: I repeated the question to her and she said yes.. I said ok.. na here I come shine small oh.. I mentioned 7 with their codes.
VO: What's Sigma Six about? (It's a course am to take) optional though... but I mentioned it to her...
Me: briefly Sigma Six it's a course that deals with how to increase productivity through the reduction of defects, waste and variance.
VO: how many schools did you apply?
Me: Told her 3
VO: Name them...
Me: Murray State University, Indiana University Pennsylvania and UW-Stout
VO: who's paying for this...
Me: I had a scholarship and my uncle will be paying the rest. I however have some funds for any shortfall.
VO: Is this your uncle in Nigeria
Me: yes ma'am
VO: What does your he do?
Me: Na here devil come again oh... I go dey tell her say my uncle works in shell chevron haliburton and other multinationals You need to see how this lady look me wen I finish my statement. Quickly nobody tell me the Bleep up... I've to retrace... at this point I know I've done so much damage, I've to acknowledge and blame it on something. Quickly I said sorry ma I've gone thru alot this morning still not myself... she said it's ok. And I corrected myself told her he actually own companies that multinationals contract jobs to
VO: are you married?
Me: Yes
VO: do you have kids
Me: Just my son for now but my wife his pregnant for our second.
VO: Why are they not travelling with you?
Me: gave are the obvious reason.. Told her the international student coordinator has already agreed to issue them dependent F2 form I 20 on the arrival of my baby to enable them apply for their visa to be with me

Na so the woman return my papers and said I will need them at the point of entry. And give me the white paper. Before I say jack Robinson, she said next.. For my mind I was like abi this woman dey vex for the Visa she wan approve for me? I just manage to say is that all... as if get strength to withstand more.. lol. She didn't even say I will be approving your visa...

Anyway all in all na God. At a point I was thinking of my next appointment, I just quickly refused it and made a vow there and then that if i get the approval, I will give that money I was supposed to use for 2nd appointment to God.

To be honest I fumbled.... God directed my ways and he showed me that it's not me that merited it but him that wants to show me favor and mercy.

I appreciate all nairalanders. All the people I ask to pay sevis fee for me which I finally did not turn up to... Am sorry and thanks for your understanding. Aadeyi, warriboy, Mznas, Holudarey01, DrOdu, Imperiouxx, and slimmy2005. Thanks all.
My prayer was Lord let today be Good to me.. And the Lord answered me.

No corporate governance... Just cheap crooks round tripping the system

Oboy but talk true...if you get access to millions of $ at official rate, you no go round trip your life out? Lol. On a serious note, as you said, we are seriously lacking in corporate governance and the applicable legislation.

Well I had to check up forex allocation for the month of June and couldn't find any. I was opportuned to see allocation for other months upto May. Atleast to d best of mmy knowledge, d CBN releases forex on a weekly basic. So far nothing has been released for the month of June and this is not unconnected to the new policy which the CBN has adopted.

I am going to Access Bank for PTA today... If they start talking trashnese I'm heading to Standard Chartered, I'm tired of FBN and GTB wahala.... Changing with Abóki is dangerous, they mix counterfeit dollars with genuine ones... I'm really tired. Pls anyone with a better idea should pls speak out

Access that told me they don't do PTA. Diamond said they don't do PTA either. Zenith said they don't have. Don't bother with GTB they will tell you one story about a portal. Ecobank says you need an account that has been running for 6months. Same with fcmb and fidelity. Union bank said no. Unity bank probably haven't heard of PTA. Heritage bank said they don't sell. Spoke to a first bank manager and he said they have a queue up till august. I'm tired.

Meet those Aboki and get a STAMPED dollar. Or better still don't change in $100 change in $20. Small dollars no get fraud. And moreover if u are a first timer, it would save you with Nigerian immigrations and PTA wahala. When they see Huge $20, dem go free you sharp sharp.

My Humble Opinion. Thanks.

This is for y'all that will be patronizing "black market" for purchase of $.

1.Ensure the seller has a registered company name and a physical address.when I was around,I always use a particular one inside Eko hotel v/island.

2.Ensure the $ are stamped and it MUST carry the name of the company of the seller..

3.If it's ur first time of dealing,u must first pretend that u want to sell $ to the seller,he/she will tell u how much he can buy from u,after which u will tell him/her that u want to buy,the difference between buying and selling is usually 2-3Naira..use ur bargaining strategy to ur advantage..

I wins I could help some of u with some $ but u just have to be physically present in the states for me to transact..All in all,best of luck,just know that the real struggle begins when u get here,the visa is just 1 out of multiple challenges..at some point u will wish u never left ur comfort zone..plan well before coming..Shalom!
