I kinda understand what you're saying but I don't think I agree with it.

I know as we all know that getting a US visa or any Countries visa is a privilege and not a rights. But the way your argument is going it is trying to make the visa process a "right".


I want to believe that anything that is given under a privileged category will not be given the same scrutiny among different applicants.

Take for example who you let into your home. Even when you have a standard procedure to go by scrutiny of people your instincts will still set in because of some of those applicants past history.

You do have some rights when you apply for a visa because it is akin to a contractual process. I am saying those rights should include (if not already implied) a fair adjudication process. A process that is evidently fair to all. In practical terms, this is called abiding by not only the letter of the rules governing the process but also the spirit if the rules.

Mancala:


You speak some truths but not the whole truth. The choice to apply and pay is voluntary, but when you pay, guess what? You have entered into a contract to be provided the services you paid for. There is no guarantee of the issuance of a visa, but we should be guaranteed a fair and transparent process of adjudication which to me does not exist today. The process should not only be fair, but should also appear to be fair to all involved... values espoused by American system.

"Its not possible for them to do the thorough check you're asking for given the thousands of Nigerians who apply for visa interviews daily. If they were to do that, they would be unable to interview anymore than a fraction of the number of people they interview today"
This is far from the truth. Case in point; India is in a similar situation like Nigeria. They interview significantly more people at the consulate on a daily basis especially in the summer months. They know how to do this!

Whether you are a prospective student or soon-to-be graduate of a U.S. college or university, understanding your different options and how U.S. visas work is important. The United States government offers an alphabet soup of categories that visitors may qualify for depending on the purpose of their stay in the country. Our guide to U.S. visas will help you untangle all those letters and numbers, and determine the one you need.

Broadly speaking, there are two main types of visas: non-immigrant and immigrant visas. Unless you’re engaged to marry a U.S. citizen or have a U.S. employer willing to sponsor you for a green card, the initial options available are in the non-immigrant visa category. With non-immigrant visas the assumption is you will return home after your program is complete.

3 Types of Visas for Students
If you’re coming to the United States for studies, there are three student visa categories.

F-1 academic student The F-1 student visa is the most common visa type for students. More than 90% of international students who study at academic colleges and universities in the United States are issued an F-1 visa.
M-1 vocational student The M-1 visa is for full-time study at a vocational or other nonacademic institution.
J-1 exchange student visitor The J-1 visa is for exchange students studying abroad for a semester or two, as part of an agreement between a student’s home country university and a U.S. university.

The only right you have when you apply for a visa is the right to get a decision. Since you paid for it, they must give you a decision. So the moment they deny you the visa, they have fulfilled their contractual part of the process. They owe you a decision. How they arrive at that decision is non of our business

NB- something funny happened recently. A guy got stranded on a bad road cos of the rain. When he got the front gate of house he used to have a lady friend, he decided to go in and ask her if he could park the car around. The GATE WAS NOT LOCKED. So he pushed the gate open and was instantly faced with two giant fighter dogs who were not chained. They belonged to the landlord. They seriously battered him. When he got to the clinic, the landlord told him he won't be responsible for the entire bill cos the dog was not a stray dog and the guy didn't knock. The argument of the guy was that they should have locked the gate. The man said....did that dog bite you within or outside the compound? The man said he didn't invite him and it is non of his business wether he locked his gate or not. This story may not be related with what we are saying but the only lesson there is this....YOU CANT DICTATE TO THE OWNER OF THE HOUSE HOW HE SHOULD SCREEN HIS VISITORS. If you don't want to be bitten by a dog or you don't want to waste money applying for a visa, stay clear of the embassy.

This is not immigration visa. This is clearly a non immigration visa. After doing a thorough check, they are still under no obligation to give you visa because you are a visitor so what do you mean by thorough check? You make it sound like after the thorough
It is non of your business. So, if USA says they only need 2minutes interview to screen those who will enter their country, it is non of our business. After all, you are only going on a visit. Is it by force to visit? You can't possibly compare it with services. If I pay you to serve me food in a restaurant, you must serve me else I complain. But if I pay you for visa especially a visit visa, I can't complain however you choose to screen your visitor. It is at your discretion cos you and only you bears the consequences. If you allow thieves into your house, you bear the consequences alone .

I guess we can agree to disagree on this. America prides itself in doing the right thing and takes it as a thing of pride. They welcome this type of feedback. I have no issue with the approval or denial rated. I believe they can do much better in the way they treat us especially when compared with other similar countries in similar situations

The thing about a lie is the more often it is repeated, it starts sounding like the truth.
There are booklets at all Immigration offices.
Immigration officials create an atmosphere of scarcity to make people switch to "Help me make it come out faster, and I will 'see you'"
This is the basis for bribe across the country.

Hello house please I need help, am trying to schedule an appointment and am seeing earliest date for Feb 13th, 6:45, picking that date isn't my problem but how do i change the time? Because once I click on the date it just asked me to schedule without giving me any options of time.
Please is that a normal thing?

Hello guys,

I noticed that the DS 160 confirmation no on my interview appointment sheet differs from the initial one obtained at the point of applying for dropbox renewal but the UID no remains the same. What do i need to do as my interview is less than a month from now.

Thanks

i tried very hard not call u a stupid dude but its obvious that you are. How can you post such trash on a public forum?

fkj950ax:


Remember, the US Consulate hasn't appointed any VO on Nairaland.

One week vacation in TX being sponsored by your employer while you are married and with a child in Nigeria is suspect.
You didn't say anything about the business you are going to conduct there in TX. Is it for you or your employer?
You are a Marketing Executive which doesn't say or mean anything in reality... Everyone who read your transcript can't deduce what you do or which industry you work.
You don't have a relative in the US. Answering "me" sounds corny... The VO may think you are cocky.

If you will oblige us and you, why exactly are you going to "the abroad"?

And note, all this pre-interviews doesn't really matter if it's not what you "or someone helped you" listed while you filled your DS160

like the guy rightly said, there is no VO on nairaland so they can give anybody visa but on a balance of probability his question line won't follow that route. As you can see, he is hiding a whole lot of details that the VO will be looking out for. First, he said he is going for business and tourism. You think the VO will just pretend he didn't hear the business aspect of it? Not likely. So the VO will ask him, what kind of business and unless we know his answer to that question, we may not know his chances. Moreso, the VO won't likely ask him wether he has been to USA in the last five years cos the VO will know already. He will only ask him wether he has travelled to other countries before which may or may not be on the present passport. Also the moment he says he is not travelling with his wife and kid, he will like to know why they are not travelling with him unless we know that the business can't accommodate family frivolity. Moreso, why is the employer sponsoring this? Is the business related to work? What value will the business bring to the company to warrant the company sponsoring him to the almighty America. Finally, has he spent more than one year or two years in that work place? Of course most employers won't send you to America after working for them for just one year and even if it is true, the VO will doubt it. And the VO may ask for your salary because if it is not significant, you can easily deceive your employer and not return. By and large, the question line he provided is not likely. But nobody can determine the outcome of his interview from here

Lol. You know you eventually did exactly what you reprimanded the guy for doing. You actually asked him to FU.C.k himself. That is not a compliment
