Same here ,all it said was application received since May, i was wondering What was happening i also applied on the 2nd of May and got a mail to pick up..thank God been dreaming of all the delicious food I wan go chop for America make dem no go break my foodie heart

American citizens pay totally different amounts, some with a good job and good insurance pay 0 (zero) and hospitals prefer them, because the good reliable insurance pays them directly, usually also these citizens have a preference and are very well treated with lots of additional special services. There are also Senior citizens on Medicare or disable people on Medicaid, it's also free to them or almost free, some supplementary insurance maybe needed. Military people and their family members (Tricare), one of the best insurances and almost free too. The system is rather complicated and we all need to know how our plans work and to pay less or nothing. Usually American hospitals prefer to work with good insurance or an extended payments plan on credit card or others. It's all tied to the person social security number and no risk. Cash is accepted mostly from a low income people with no credit, discounts are given to people who has no social security number (in case of Nigerians, medical facilities don't ask the immigration status and bill according to ghetto scale, first they write the total, maybe 20K, then the 50-60% discount. And it's not cheap anyway, poor people in America, if they pay cash, they pay more than working people with insurance and hospitals don't like cash paying mostly because they can't keep you at the hospital for long and charge forever or to hook you up with unnecessary services, medicine and machines.

Ah, and almost all Americans, we NEVER use cash, all is cards and switching money online between different accounts. People who pays cash is looked like maybe criminals, drug dealers, illegal immigrants or a very low level citizens who were in jail or had bankruptcy and have no credit at all. Having NO credit in America means troubles to rent a place to live, to buy a car or a house and many other things. Good Credit score it's a good reputation and many benefits and preferences.

I actually agree with you. By the way when I said cash I meant payment via cards not actual cash. Lol.

I'm in my final year in Uni, I applied for B1/B2 visa with my mom on May and where given august for our interview. We are currently on vacation till October and my mom is a civil servant with Lagos state. Are there any documents I'd need to take along with me for the interview and what are my chances? (My 2 brothers are in the US)

Hello, someone put me through... My online date needs to send me an invitation to USA, What are the documents she needs to do this?

You'll need documents that will prove you have sufficient ties to Nigeria. You need to prove to them that you won't abscond. Ties include, but is not limited to, the following: marriage, kids, old age, long term employment, reasonable salary, good bank account statement, good travel history, etc. Any document that can prove the above in addition to other things should be made ready.

In addition to the above, you'll need to fill the form D-160 form, pay the visa fee at GTBank, and schedule an appointment with ustraveldocs. For more info, check out page one of this thread.

You don't need invitation letter.

No, invitation is not needed. It's only in formal situations such as business conferences, scientific symposia, etc that invitation would be needed.

nope i didnt give birth or over stay. by over stay do you mean stay past the 6 months on my i94? nope never did and never plan to over stay anywhere , i love to travel and enjoy places for as long as legally possible since im self employed and have the luxury of time and then go straight back home... i had long vacays of like 2 months and 4 months at different times within the 2 yrs. its probably why i'm being called in for an interview to explain.

Cheapest (N597K) is Virgin but you will leave Heathrow and board the next flight in Gatwick (Which means you will need a UK Visa).
You can also apply for Brazilian transit visa and fly with South African Airline via Johannesburg to Rio and connect to the Caribbean via Rio or Sao Paulo.

You will need a good explanation for staying 2 & 4 months long.

Really? Wow didn't know one can fly to Barbados through Rio/Sao Paulo. If I may ask, will it be a direct flight from Rio/Sao Paulo. I know of a lady who needs this info.

That's the reason. I hope you have a valid reason for the long stay.

Hopefully she didn’t fill in her DS160 form and say during her visa interview that she will be visiting the US for maybe 2, 3 or 4 weeks tops. I doubt if she said anything more than these anyways.

She seems to be underrating the matter at hand though. This could be really grave even if you got the 6 months stamp and didn’t stay more than you were stamped in for. 2 months, then for 4 months, then what next most likely? Whew! BE WORRIED OH, unless....

The “I’m self employed” part that affords her the capacity to stay that long in the US ehn, I just help her pray sha. Lately, it is clear that these people will not allow thunder strike one particular spot twice again, I really do help her hope and pray.

This was what made my interview long. I was drilled about my visits cos none was short stays. The VO pepper me. I got exasperated at a stage. Nobody believed the visa will be issued. One thing I had going was the fact that I was TRUTHFUL all the way. Every question answered was crosschecked and found correct. It was a challenging one

Yes and No, I believe some flight may fly through some of the island like island hopper flight, interestingly Nigerians don't need visa to visit Ecuador so you can find your way to Ecuador, getting to Barbados won't be hard.
One more thing, you can fly to Dubai and get a flight on KLM, Airfrance to Ecuador and fly from Ecuador to the Caribbean if you don't have a UK Visa or EU visa.

Those months in U.S means her tie to U.S is stronger than the ''ties'' to Nigeria, hopefully she will update us after the interview.
