From an incident l witnessed at the US Consulate in Lagos, l conclude that getting US visa depends on three thing:

1... Applicant's HONESTY
2. Luck
3.. Mood of the interviewer..

In 2004, l had an appointment with an American lady (not visa interview) and she requested l meet with her at her office in US consulate.
There in front of me, a stark illiterate woman who could not speak English was issued a visa.
The white lady that interviewed her asked for help in translating for the old woman and l volunteered to translate.

Right after the interview questions l answered on behalf of the old woman, she was told to pick up her visa three days later..

I asked the white lady why she issued the illiterate old woman a visa, and she responded that she could read in the body language of the woman as well as her eyes that she was HONEST..

She said most applicants are not HONEST and try to play smart with them...She also confirmed that most of them interviewers are well-grounded in Human Psychology and can tell liars from their body language and eyes..

My conclusion?

1.. Be honest and sincere
2. Hope for luck
3. Anticipate a friendly interviewer in good mood...

Anyway, l could be wrong sha.

Why can't you and your likes can't do without politicizing everything....
Seriously APC is a curse to the development of Nigeria.

UyaiIncomparabl:


Speaking of travel history. How many countries are too much for one to have a decent travel history?

GavelSlam:


You can never have too much.

Especially if they are similarly advanced nations.

The word Idii00t comes from an old democratic greek word that refers to people who think politics is non of their business, forgeting their lives, cost of living, basic laws, standard of living, life direction academic curriculum all boils down to politics and governance.

handsomeyinka:

That’s not true..
A friend of my just got a student visa last month..
I sponsored him and what I have in my bbt bank account was less than his tuition fees.

My available balance was less than $4000 and his tuition fees was $8,300.He was granted visa.
I just think it’s all about luck and destiny.

Guruindahouse:
Thats good to hear. Does he have any scholarship or any fee waiver from his university?

MPESA:



You ain't making sense bro, have a rethink and stop politicizing everything because at the end we do make ourselves f...**ls.

GavelSlam:


I don't claim to be an expert.

All I can say is that honesty is the best policy.

Your documents have to be authentic.

Pay your fees to an appreciable level and show evidence of support.

Don't try to lie.

I know we like to say "forget" but that's the way I know.

wickyyolo:


I have the money to pay the fees and i have been given admission. Should i pay the school fees first or i should pay after im granted Visa ?

Afonja007:
I want American and European embassies to make it mandatory that every one must be interviewed in his or her mother's tongue ,so all this am igbo but I don't speak igbo will stop, if you don't know how to speak your mother's tongue stay in your country ,many my papa tell me say I be igbo full Lagos and is terrible,the only place a Nigerian behaves his or her self is in Europe or north American embassies

GavelSlam:


Pay before applying if you can.

Schools would refund if no visa is granted.

Hope you can also provide evidence of support for the length of stay?

Don't provide dagbo Abeg.

I know you didn't say so but it's a forewarning.

I have evidence of support. I didnt want to use my personal account. Im using another person bank statement. Let it not be that i will run away. Let it seem as though someone will always be sending me money

MacTv:

The United States of America Embassy in Nigeria has clarified that dress code is not a requirement for obtaining the country's visa.

Speaking during a Facebook live session on Wednesday, the consular officers said that the applicants could come with their traditional wears as it makes look unique.

The officials addressed the common mistakes seen on DS 160 application form, stating that no one needs to have someone residing in the US and also no prior travelling experience is needed before one can be granted visa.

When asked if dress code is being considered during interviews, an official said: “No. It’s not a consideration when doing your interview.

“Be comfortable. Don’t feel like you need to put on a suit if you don’t usually wear a suit. Don’t wear a suit. Wear what you would wear if you are going to any normal appointment.

“We want you to be you. We want you to be as relaxed as possible for the interview. Talk to us.”

onyxo76:
All na scope, no travel history, nothing for you...fact!!

dejibanjo:

Old people are more likely to be granted visas because the embassy believes they are going there to see their children, so will definitely return. If you're a young person, though, they will conclude that u have other intentions.

iammo:


Your mind is so little that you cant see the bigger picture,



You either politicize everything and clearly see US politics and policies rob us.daily or you continue living blindly under them. Its your choice man, atiku never denied paying a lobby group and many legitimate travelers got rejected for visa without commiting half as high as atikus grand corruption

BlackfireX:
There was a time Americans and the world troop to Nigeria.....



What happened? Whom did we offend?

NwanyiAwkaetiti:
They grant elderly people visas easily though

megareal:
Why? Because three of my elderly aunts were never denied visas.

AZeD1:
For 70% of candidates, their application had been decided before they even set foot at the consulate. It why the interviews are most very short.

For the other 30%, your case is in the balance and the interview can swing it in either direction.

Ugosample:


What sort of stupid talk is that "my papa tell me I be igbo"

Does any one needs to tell you your ancestry?

Common sense una no get

NwanyiAwkaetiti:
Well they ain't doing no crime or running away. They are seen as responsible

Ugosample:


my grand mother's get visas all the time.

But as for my cousins

Ela upon Ela

these embassy people wicked gan

donkarly:

Lies,my aunty attended an interview last week n the only question was,"have you travelled outside nigeria before" to which she answered no n was refused,solely because she hasn't been outside the country for the first time. They should tell that to the gullible..
