The way some people peddle information they are not aware about on platforms like this, you'd think Google is their middle name.

In other news, I have insider info that there is a CO currently observing this particular platform.

Be guided.

V.O usually answer question on this forum but they've stopped for a while.

Dammilekan:

This is not an attack but just a friendly advice.

hayatou27:
Have you ever given birth to a child in US or overstayed beyond 2 months, if your answer is No, go ahead , your visa will be approved. Don't let them know you want to go aand give birth.

We're just bad and badly behave people, we spoil good things... why do we do things like this? What is wrong with us?

i know, i respect you a lot please can you answer my question on page 17

As in when I saw it I was weak.

Dammilekan:
I want to ask a question i saw a video on instagram, a guy complaining about Nigerians giving birth in America and refusal to pay
I want to ask is it true

Yes, it's true...but not all Nigerians do such.

Hayatou may have hit the nail on the tail really badly but that doesn't mean thousands will not continue to conceal pregnancy and nothing you and I can do to stop these trends.

The pregnant woman who conceals pregnancy during visa interview is no way different from the idiot who does not conceal but gives birth without either paying completely, uses Insurance or benefits from discount same as the mofo who goes to the U.S. on a visit visa and disappears into thin air, thereby destroying opportunities for Nigerians who have followed the law to the later.

They are all the same bunch of unscrupulous, morally depraved and terribly insatiable Nigerians and that habit doesn't come to me as a surprise.

It will NEVER stop, the ball is in the court of President Trump and Congress to stop these trends by either withrawing/restricting citizenship by birth to countries notorious for visa racketeering/fraud and/or visa restrictions to those who have misused their visas.

U.S. immigration laws need a 100% overhaul.hate him or like him the President will deliver.

Visa Transcript From Friday 9:15am Batch

Window 2 , Tall Male

VO : Why are you doing to the US?
ME : I am oppurtuned to participate in the Facebook Annual Developers Conference and the F8 hackaton .
VO: How many days do you plan to stay?
ME : 5days
VO : Do you have any relatives in the US?
ME : No
VO : Are you traveling alone?
ME : Yes
VO : Is this your first international travel?
ME : No, I have been to Ghana
Vo : (Types for few seconds) Sorry, You're not qualified, (hands over passport and the blue paper)

The trip was an expense paid one and was to hold in San Jose, CA. , my hotel reservations had been made and I was expected to book my flight the next day if the interview was successful.

I was yet to clock 18years of age at the time of interview.
Also I attended an I.T institution for software engineers and I was scheduled to take my jamb exams the following week .
Could it be that I was denied to my young age and not been accompanied by someone older?

>>> Looking Forward, am also likely to get an invite to the US receive an award as I participated in the Mongodb online hackaton and participants are expected to come over to the US, expense paid.

Is this still worth applying for, considering that I would have gained admission into a Nigerian University and I can state that when asked what circumstance has changed since my last denial?

I also wonder why people behave like they're the only ones to be interviewed?

The lady at window 1was forced to beckon on one of the cgi attendants to tell a man to leave after being asked severally if he wanted her to call the security. The next person on the line was already shaking

Such situations just makes the interviewer unwilling to ask the next person enough questions before drawing a conclusion

Are you a software owner, developer or do you represent a company that builds content around Facebook?

Your conversation was vague , your age , marital status, non school enrollment all played a role.

Who is footing your travel expenses ?

Am a software Developer. Facebook is also very much active in the software development industry by building and improving existing tools. There was a call for all developers who build with these tools to register to participate and I applied.

All expenses were being taken of by facebook which was indicated in the invitation letter I received

I'll be in Kenya next month to attend a Dev-con.

But do they check online to see how popular the individual is?

I didn't spend up to 2mins before the vo ended the interview

Just do what seyewest has said. Your interview was like my first USA Interview. I was thesame age as you, I was a student in UK. The vo officer didn't look at me, he asked only two questions and denied me.

I built my travel history by touring EU countries and applied again after three years and got it. You are still young and have alot of time in your hands.

Wow.

Coming from someone that applied from a vantage point.

I'll definitely work on my travel history!

KingSatan:
Please guys I need your help. I need to schedule an appointment for my in-laws for next month (Abuja ) since Lagos is filled up. But there seem to be a sudden rush. This week I saw 3rd May till 30th available but now All Of May is Gone. I didn't secure it because I wanted to be sure the oldies we're ready to travel and I prefer doing this US application thing during weekends.

Is there a way I can walk through this?

I don't want to patronise touts please help.


Someone told me i could use a VPN or tell my friends in the state to help and they will get something earlier.

I don't know what to do.

I need them oldies to visit the US

The dates are a function of the embassy you want to have the interview, not the location you apply from.
If you are in Germany and you pick Lagos as interview location, it will be same date as if you are in Ikeja and pick Lagos as interview location.
VPN won't give you priority.

Someone has said this is Summer Peak Period, and Lagos has a 3-4months wait period. Abuja is almost same

I submitted my two passports (old and new) when i renewed my canadian visitors visa. But as of when i renewed my US visa i hadn't gotten my new passport so i submitted only one passport. My advice is submit the two(old and new) because of your travel history.

They are concerned about the passport with your expired visa.

If the new passport doesn't have a visa, then you submit the old one having the visa with it.

If the new one has the expired visa, they won't even collect the old one from you.

@seyewest. Have you seen this? I pray he comes to give us a feedback so applicants will note and be very careful. I don't want to jump to conclusions but I can figure out what happened
