Hello, fellow Nigerians. In case you want to get a Non-immigrant visa to the US visa and are wondering how to increase your chances, the US Embassy to Nigeria has just released advice on how to avoid errors that might disqualifying you.



See below

Complete the DS 160 form correctly
Every applicant must complete the DS-160 form to apply for a U.S. Non-immigrant visa. U.S. Embassy Abuja Consular officers Heather and Kelly discussed common mistakes applicants make when completing the DS-160 form during a recent Facebook chat. They also stressed the importance of answering questions accurately and truthfully. These issues and their advice to reduce common errors follow.

Names
The applicant must ensure he/she lists their current legal name exactly as it appears on his/her international passport. Under “Other names used”, applicants must write any other name they have previously used, even if un-official. This includes names misspelled on passports.
Travel Section
For the field that asks about the intended length of stay, applicants should provide a precise time estimate. If the length of stay changes prior to the interview date, inform the Embassy’s Consular Section.

Address
List the exact address of your intended accommodation during your stay in the United States, especially if you plan to stay with relatives. For example, don’t write “New York, New York,” if in fact, you plan to stay in (the borough of) Brooklyn, New York. If your travel dates are still several months away and you don’t yet know where you will stay, simply indicate the city. The key point is to provide accurate information.

Travel Companions
Don’t just list those who require U.S. visas on the form. Indicate everyone with whom you are traveling, even if they are U.S. citizens and/or already have a U.S. visa(s).

Previous U.S. Travel
Applicants should provide information on their last five (or fewer) visits to the United States, whether in transit for twenty-four hours or less or a longer visit even if several years ago. Be sure to list up to your last five visits via the drop-down menu on the DS-160 form.

Who goes to where?

Lalasticlala from the argument the US is saying that their refusal to grant Nigerians a lot of visas is not political as widely believed. Let Nigerians be informed about this. Let them debate it in Front Page. Thanks.
