@Twoods I hope you don't take this advice and keep speaking the truth no matter how harsh as long as you did not insult anybody.

Nigeria is full of churches,spirit filled church goers, prayer warriors but densely corrupt, how does that work?

EOD, unfortunately he does.

NeyofeedNigEnt:
What's funny about the whole thing is

Those people supporting the guy all stayed abroad making destructive criticism on social media as if their noise will make any changes.

Also some that doesn't support him also stay abroad while some stay back home just going for tourism/visit.

So btw d two now who is selfish?


Everybody knew things is not working in nija at all so by staying abroad and making noise on social media won't solve anything, it will only make more damages. Come home let's fight for our right altogether.

Those that didn't support Twood knw what average Nigerians are facing and is better if they can find their way out, just like u guys did.

Are you guys born there? Twood and his supporters

When I applied for the visa interview I fill mistakenly Ibadan as my place of birth but Lagos is my place of birth on my intl passport. Hope there won’t be any problem with the interview or visa.

So you think Nigeria is this bad because of lack of solution to our problems? What solution that has not been provided both harshly or softly but still nothing seems to change.

No Nigeria is this bad because we have normalized corruption and fraudulent activities, the system is now conditioned to accept that this is the normal way of doing things. This is exactly why TWoods and few others are picked on for dare saying things that very uncomfortable to sympathizers of the corrupt system.

The truth is the solution no matter how harshly spoken or written, at least somebody care enough to speak out rather covering it up.

You seem not to understand my point. But it's fine. Let me summarize it here:

1. It's perfectly okay to criticize. Covering up is wrong.
2. However, the criticism shouldn't be condescending or insultive.
3. Also the criticism should be constructive and properly directed at the right audience.

Personally I think we are saying the same thing. Perhaps you don't know the aspect where I disagree with TWoods.

But if you still insist that it's okay to be condescending and insultive while criticising. If you insist that it's fine to denigrate the country in the international community, then it means we aren't saying the same thing. And I'd say good luck with your views. I rest my case.

May God help this country along with it's inhabitants.

Vo: smiled how are you
Me: Am fine

With the mass exodus of people crossing borders dont you think it is easier for you to apply directly for f1 rather than b1b2? Students like you get f1 visa. You too can

Good afternoon house. I really appreciate you guys efforts so far. God bless you all richly. Please help a brother.I have an interview on Monday next week I need some clarifications please. The last time I applied I was denied which was an Academic tour visit to New York with others from same campus. Unfortunately it wasn't a group interview as we thought and some of us were denied including myself. The agency in charge bleeped up big time. No prior pre interview preparations and all. My concern now is that in my previous interview after answering series of questions the Consular asked if I have a relative in the United States i said yes my elder sister ( a citizen) and whereas on my Ds160 where i was asked if I have any immediate relative in the United States i filled no and i filled Yes for other relatives. Although I had corrected those errors can I send an apology letter to the embassy stating my previous errors which arose as a result my hastiness in filling the ds 160. More so, I came to discover that my mum's maiden name is what's on her passport and not our Father's surname which was what I used for my previous application. However I had already corrected that. Also in my recent D's 160 I wrote I would be visiting University of Colorado and American Musuem of Natural history as part of my travel plans and the major purpose is to go see my mum who just had a surgery recently she has Resident legal permit. What are my chances, I am currently in my final year I planned travelling on July 8th and come back July 18th, I have a business I run on part time basis and I have a good no of cash as well in my account but I am not the one sponsoring the trip. What I intend using as strong ties are my project work, NYSC, Business e.t.c. kindly give your suggestions I would highly appreciate it.

Why can't you fill anybody ds form

travelland:


What makes a country civilized is that your opinion, no matter how worthless you might seem, matters. This is why before your visa is revoked you will be told. Our problem is that we are used to our rights being abused hence you don't know that there must be a good reason before your visa is revoked and they will tell you. If for instance you are told that they suspect you have the intension to migrate to Canada if allowed in, and you know you have no such intension, won't you use the appropriate means available to contest it? Mind you, you can always ask them how you can contest their decision and they will provide you with options. You might have to return to your country but your appeal will be looked into sometimes even right there at the immigration area, you are allowed to make a statement to support your case. Try watching Border Security to know more. Mind you, it's not only Nigerian citizens that have their visas revoked.

You can't appeal deportation or if visa is revoked, what they will advise is that you go to the U.S Embassy in your country to sort things out.
I've seen more than enough Border Security/Border Patrol/How to catch a smuggler/MIA documentary etc to know that U.S does not inform anybody before revoking visa and VISA is just a sticker that give you a pass to fly to U.S Airport not to enter U.S itself.

There's nothing urgent.... You need to read this thread or visa U.S embassy website for clarification.

travelland:


I'm happy you noticed this, I thought I was the only one. It makes them feel better off than those of us who are based here even though in actual fact many here are doing better than them financially. They are the ones who criticize Nigeria the most yet do nothing to contribute towards the country positively, in all their post you will hear destructive criticism.

By insulting us and capilizing on people's desperation they feel on top of the world, meanwhile they are suffering. Why do you think they are constantly here, not to help but to ridicule people?.

I believe we should learn to correct constructively, not talking to people any how because you find yourself where many want to be, that's pride and it makes no sense

Infact u are right. Nigerians are not smart at all especially we youths.

We accept whatever comes our way.

Fuel subsidy was removed we youths said life goes on.
Oyinbo revoked our visa, some still support that wicked act, and we expect God to come down and fight for us?

I don't understand what u mean by crossing border

I will like to advice those with genuine intention of visiting the US not to be discourage by some sad news on visa cancellation or entry refusal.

Yes, there is a recent special check on Nigeria nationals at poe but most people don't tell you the true story where they abuse their visa.

We all know that at visa interview the VO ask some questions and then start typing as we are answering. That's a note which will remain on your page once your visa is entered at poe.

In the past people get their visa use it when they like and how they like but now they look closely to your statements at poe. For instance, I was able to find out the truth how a family was denied entry at poe because I am here in the US. They had 2 years family visa years back but instead the husband decided to visit first before this recent strick check then he stayed 5 months went back to Nigeria and came back again now in his 4th month here. Then his wife and kids where on their way to join him last week but at poe the officer was able to see it was a family tourist visa and the man have been here twice on his own for months. In this case the family was taken into custody for more questioning that revealed the man was working illegally here and doing 5 months in 5 months out. So they deported them back and homeland security call the man cell phone letting him know they have information he is working illegally so should leave the country.

Now, I am sharing this for us Nigerians to know that whatever decision we take regardless of pursing better opportunity there is a process. The word process here means you must be ready to face some hardship or. Challenges don't try to be too smart. The difference between Nigeria and the US is that they keep records which is data so it will remain there for as long as they want. They use this data to make decisions in their regulations so that even if early few beat their system surely others cant.

Patience is the key it doesn't mean you are stupid so when you come here avoid working illegally at all cost. Those who over stay can be forgiven and still adjust their status but those who work and are caught can't under US immigration law.

Those running to Canada are mostly greedy because they don't want to go through the process here as they expect free housing and feeding while seeking Asylum. Do not be deceived by those in Canada they are in a camp trust me it's a place you wouldn't want to be at list for you to get a US visa l believe that you have attained some fair level in the Nigeria society except otherwise.

Try to reduce your expectations when visiting the US it will help you. Yes it's a beautiful country but not easy to survive as a new comer untill after awhile.

Good luck

The answer to your question is on the US embassy website. Read it.
You do not wish to read and still have an attitude. You realize nobody is invested in whatever you get a visa or not?

Thank you Benolola for that story.
People will give half stories and cause mild panic. Now this makes sense.

As for the people talking about revoked visas, read this slowly

" IT IS THEIR COUNTRY AND THEY ARE FREE TO DO AS THEY LIKE. BLAME YOUR GOVERNMENT THAT HAS ALLOWED YOUR COUNTRY TO GO TO THE DOGS. IF YOU ARE PAINED, ELECT A CORRUPT FREE GOVERNMENT AND BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT"

1. They don't need to upload anything.
2. VO might not even ask of it but they should go with it to be on a safer side

The next available date is oct 23rd oo..........I am finished . I have a conference on the 23rd of August . I have been checking and checking. And i have payed for this conference
