TWoods:


Untrue. Nigerians are not the only people interviewing for visas.

My view applies to only Nigerians. you can observe the process yourself. I shared based on what I observed

TWoods:


This is untrue. Please read the law.

The Case for AP is created a day before one's interview.

justwise:




Why do we struggle to understand simple English language?

Because it's not our mother tongue

Brown2Green:

No, it's after interview. see attached pics for how it looks before interview. after interview, it changes to administrative processing

TWoods:


I don’t like to bear bad news either but I see the misinformation peddled here too often. If you are on AP, you were technically refused a visa or considered ineligible for the visa under section 221g. You were not approved.

Here is information you should read through - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/administrative-processing-information.html

As noted, you are only permitted to request about the status of a 221g after 180 days of your visa interview or submission of requested information. Bottom line; plan well in advance.

Can you sound positive in your comments for once? There's a way you'll pass a comment, and a fellow would still feel good with failure staring them on the face. You are a good writer, no doubt, but you also need to rewire your mind to be able to tell that fellow the stark truth without hurting them. Everything looks bleak with you. For you, nothing is ever gonna work because in your conclusion, "we are too fraudulent, vain minded and conveniently religious".

Whatever happens, Nigeria is my home and I'd never deny it. I pray those words would guard your comments going forward.

you said my mind. what we have in that link he posted is odd for Nigerians since most bank statements are subject to further verification. I will say what they meant in that link is the 221(g) refusal

When it changes to AP look at the details of date for Case Created and Case Last Updated you'll understand my point.

Time2win:

Your view is what it is, yours only. What AP is and how it works is clearly spelled out by the US consulate. It seems Nigerians prefer to create their own reality.

The AP process is not unique to Nigerians. Indian immigration threads (either for F or H visa applicants) have entire message boards devoted to it.

Feel free to prove otherwise.

yeah, I understand your point. I observed everything myself. let me attach a full screenshot for you to understand where I am going. The screenshot shows your application looks like a day to your interview, before that, it will be showing no status.

Ok

TWoods:


Feel free to prove otherwise.

You are a Nigerian. By induction, I could also say you're guilty of those charges: you are my proof that we are too fraudulent. Feel free to prove otherwise.

Not true. This is an artifact of the Nigerian predilection for fraud.

TWoods:

I am talking of current development. you should understand that it has been long you left and alot has changed. Most (not all) bank statements are subject to verification.

100% fact

Time2win:


See, things has changed since Twoods left the country. the way he sees thing is different from what is actually happening. Due to the fraudulent act of Nigerians, the Visa officers decided to be verifying most bank statement as many have been caught with fake bank statement. This has caused many to be put on administrative processing. so i understand fully where he is going. Being on AP does not equate to refusal as far as Nigeria is concerned.

You are not a Visa officer here to determine if they are bound to verify or not. you don't have any right to say such though and also before you comment, try to understand what is actually going on, before jumping in

A little advise bro.. If you ever have to deal with people hoping for something they've worked hard for, the best you can be is be positive and not dishing out negativity in the name of being non-emotional, now with your negative comments, how do you think you've helped them?.. You've probably increased their blood pressure by 1000m/s, we know our comments here won't help their case or quicken it, but at least being positive will give them the much needed comfort they need in this hard times.. AP is a torture, I know it cos I was on for 45 days and i remember asking people for advise then, everyone told me to be patient and I would get it but I remember you saying I have a problem due to the large inflows in my bank statemnt, I had big tension that night.. Thanks to people that encouraged me.... so pls take away your bad mouth and be positive for once..... Apologies for using the word bad mouth

TWoods:


Read what I wrote, and also read the link I posted directly from the US consulate, don’t simply comment based on emotion. An AP is technically a refusal. That you are put on AP does not mean you will not be issued a visa if the VO decides that you are eligible for the visa after reviewing your case.

Let’s be honest, those who apply with genuine documents have no need to fear. As the Bible said - the wicked runs when no man is pursuing him. Go figure.

I don’t see this same level of irrational fear with any other group I have encountered at foreign consulates.

Janet200:


TWOODS de behave like who he Akata wife wen he marry for paper de frustrate since no neighbor to pour he aggression on cos for America you no fit know your neighbor, he go come here de pour he aggression on people. The thing de pain am say people de travel. If he like make he carry he head knack wall people de leave Naija everyday, the one wen wan come back go come back the one wen wan stay like am go stay

There is no better microcosm of the Nigerian problem than the above screed.

This TWOOD ehn.. dey chop shit

Resumption is the reason for panick not false documents

AP is not denial. The VO told me congrats on my visa approval ( if the SOA come out genuine) with a beaming smile on her face. How is that equal to denial?
Twoods, u don't know everything. And that is my observation here. No one knows it all here and there are no absolute cases or truths in a visa interview

AP this AP that...English is the issue...Technically Issued, Technically Refused. I asked my VO specifically what she meant by "I'm placing you on AP" ...She replied I'm going to verify if this Bank Statement I have with her is real, told her go ahead. I knew the account was real and I also know the bank will never disclose to the embassy how much is in the account, I was lucky to know that AP varies..some AP are attached to Names you bear "FBI flagged names" also not only Nigerians experience AP, Visit Quora and search US visa Administrative Processing you'd be surprised. And not only F1 experience it..From what I know, F1 is even the baby of AP, you see those Hs and Bs na them be the father of AP. The US embassy are just being cautious of who comes in and out and how you'll care for yourself when you come into their country. If you are on AP pls block out any other person's advice or opinions, they are not the US embassy, pray and hope, if u can fast do it....At the end of the day I pray we all get approved.

You all keep repeating this same false nonsense. An AP is a refusal... that is the fact, irrespective of the evidence-free emotional hubris here. I didn’t claim to know anything, I provided the direct link from the US consulate, clearly explaining what the AP process is.

The VO did not grant you a visa because on its face, your SOA renders you ineligible. However he/she feels you may be eligible if your SOA is genuine and proves you do have the funds necessary. That’s the process, read up on it instead of relying on your emotions.

While it might be worded as a refusal on offical document it doesnt appear that the reality https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/administrative-processing-information.html

AP is more of additional checks which really most embassy do as part of their process like UK and Canada . .... I dont think its a refusal , but more like US embassy is too lazy to check all so they randomly select some applicants and do additional checks instead of checking everybody

I guess it's cos of the large number of applicants, putting everyone on AP will slow down the process and that's more work for banks.

Me I am tired of reading about AP all day oooo

Please let’s end it ...
whether technically refused or not ... We go get am and we go Dey alright las las

people on Ap like me ...let’s be hopeful we get issued a visa ASAP so we can all resume on time

Make nobody put fear for our mind again Abeg ...e don do ooo

Not true. Everyone who applies for a change in immigrant status is required to undergo an FBI background check. There are far more people in this bucket than F1 applicants in Nigeria.
