Greetings my lovely brothers and sisters. I just come across this wonderful trend and i must say that u guys are doing a great job.

Please i have a question. What type of invitation do i get for my brother for US visa interview. Actually i like saying things the way it is. My aim is for him to relocate for greener pasture . I'm being honest and want someone to help with an answer. His business has not been moving fine so i want try America.

Please no insults. I will really appreciate suggestions.

Thanks

Where is my personal vo?

Aaah ah, kilo sele? I just got home and got news Abuja consulate is closed. Why, wetin we do this time?

This country is too hard on people, they should not do this now. Leave room for people to go find their happiness in America.

Some of these consulate officers themselves were born to migrant parents that abandoned home country to go leave in Yankee.

These people are trying to make me vex again. I dont like it when people mess with my kin folks. This is why I refused to go for my interview cause they mess with mybpeople unecessarily.

This is unfair.


Make i blow you kiss jare before i vex and forget.

Pls, I'm in the same boat, help me, I'm going for a conference too and self sponsoring.

emailaddy:
Pls guyz... I am trying to book an appointment date don’t know why it is telling me this. This is the page after filling in my receipt number and priority.

Now it’s telling me that I have exceeded the number of times I can view the page. Yet it didn’t bring out any available date

Ijebuboy525:

America is indirectly saying their country is filled up, Nigerians should look for another country for greeer pasture, abeg which other country is ok to migrate to aside USA and Canada? LadyG seyewest

Mzblossom1:
Wow, I finally got a response there, thanks for your time and attention.

Let me lay some facts bare, I can also answer more questions later, if there are any. First off, it's a one day conference, secondly this conference is falling during my leave(so I'm wondering now, won't the VO be reasoning that I'll be on leave and I'm supposed to be probably /most likely vacaying, @ with my daughter), instead of leaving her at home and rushing off a few days for a one day conference when I'm supposed to have a full blown one month leave...

As for the sponsor part, I'm doing that because, it's my leave period and free time, just like I can spend my money on vacation, same way I can pay to improve
myself.

It's a free conference because the US oganizers of the event is a not for profit organization.

I have no travel history.

Waiting for the critics,

Thank you.

seyewest:


You're thinking about yourself not from the V.O perspective, one thing you need to understand is that, the V.O come across your type of profile more than 200 times a week, so what you're saying or thinking is not special or exceptional... Can I ask you 3 questions?
i) Do you have any recent travel history outside of Nigeria?
ii) How long have you been at your present work (They do background check)
iii) What is your martial status

You need to dig deep and do research, you may end up shifting your interview to next year if you happen to be honest with yourself.
Goodluck

Mzblossom1:


I have no recent travel history outside of Nigeria, lately(I'm a very introverted type, I could spend a lifetime indoors and yeah, I mean that seriously) but I'm an academic freak, I can go to the moon just to get some knowledge, that's the kind of person I'm.

I've been working, not less than 5yrs now and married.

A little more research showed me that this international organizing body of the conference, has chapter in Ghana, South Africa and Uganda, what I'm not sure is if they have as many and are as coordinated as the ones in the US. The chapters in the US are many and hold meetings at different times, so attendance would depend on convenience, right?

What is background check please?(is it an FBI kind of thing?) Lol.

Finally, what's the rationale behind my scheduling to next year?

seyewest:


You're still thinking about yourself.... You don't have strong ties... your ties are normal not extraordinary...
work on your ties.

Mzblossom1:


Okay, I've stopped thinking about myself but don't understand what else you mean by ties, from going through hundreds of pages on this website and and the US embassy website itself, I realised that ties has to do with social economic, family, job, travel history and anything else. So the only tie I don't have right now is the travel history but I earn a good enough salary to self sponsor the trip, I'm married, for almost as long as the period I've been working, which is not less than 5yrs as I said earlier, my husband is in the medical profession and I've a daughter.

Pls correct me otherwise so I can get a better picture, thank you.

emailaddy:
This is absolutely unfair, I asked a question regarding not being able to get an appointment. Trying to know if this is normal? And I couldn’t get any response. But if it is a case of someone saying he/she was denied or another person saying he wants to migrate through Visit Visa I know how some of u guyz will unleash the dragon. I am expected to go on a 10 days vacation with the family by Dec, I was told by a friend that December dates are getting filled. Yet I can’t even get to book an appointment.

seyewest:


Must you go to U.S now? build your travel history i.e. go to Europe, South East Asia... try to attend Conference abroad and present papers, if you want to be absolute sure of getting U.S visa 100% (U.S Visa is not guarantee even for those with very good travel history, reason is that a lot of Nigerians has abused the U.S tourist visa making hard for people like you to get one)

Then what can I do??

Hi My People permit me to ask you some questions pls . My family and I have interview at the Abuja US consulate by 29th August . I got the news the embassy is closed indefinitely ATM. We are traveling down from Dubai .. I have bought non refundable tickets for the 3 of us for this trip ��‍♂️My question is do you have the slightest idea why it was closed? And secondly, Do you think by any chance it could be re-opened after Eid as they said in their statement that they ‘hope’ they would... ? Thirdly, do you think we should proceed with our trip or just stay back. If they reschedule us, I’m not sure it will fall within the time we will be in the country . I am confused o. Pls I need candid advice and opinion pls. Our flight is On the 26.. thanks

Chuchunana:


Nobody here will know for sure but it's likely they will reopen after the sallah holidays as stated in their release...Just chill, when they reopen after sallah (hopefully...) if your interview gets rescheduled then you can also change the date of your flight accordingly...stay positive!

Beautyaddy:


Lol!...Ireland, Germany.
