The anti-JAPA crew must shut down this very dangerous thread shocked

Why would anybody want to migrate to USA when there's so much abundance and opportunity in Nigeria?

It's better to stay in Nigeria and make 500K per month. At least that's what I've heard.

Like President Buhari told us in 1984, we have no other country but Nigeria. We must remain here and salvage it together!!!

Up NEPA....sorry, I mean Up Nigeria! grin




And where is Buhari today?

After una don step into the polling unit with sentiment and tribalism then una go come dey find where to run go
Please does your Messiah has solution to Nigeria's problem at the moment? What strategy does he have to bring a turnaround within few months if he was to be in control? Don't let emotion becloud your sense of reasoning. Anyone among Tinubu, Obi or Atiku will face a difficult task to make an immediate impact with the way the economy was mismanaged under Buhari. This current government has not spent six months to know the direction and access her performance but you've started attacking it right from day one. Be reasonable with your post, no one is stopping you from criticizing the action of government at least democracy permits that but be objective and factual devoid of tribal colouration.

As in ehn. I think it’s not just for security reasons but also psychological.

Getting to the place where one will have to take off his belt is scary too. Once you enter that final queue, the fear in there is out of this world. I saw an army man sweating profusely because of the final stage of his interview. It’s not easy at all.

Even when I tried not to be scared, despite the confidence I have, Omo all the confidence no follow me enter the final stage. Immediately I opened the door after denial, confidence accompanied me with “no vex, na fear hold me too” grin

I was just thinking of what I missed and how I should have answered the questions. Men!
lol, it's always like that but I think when the time comes it will happen..A friend of mine was denied like 3 times before he was given on his 4th attempt.Now, he's in the US with his family...Their interview and the whole process have a way of messing up with one's mental health..
I feel they shouldn't make one go through all that stress if one will be denied.. it's really frustrating seeing grown able bodied men crying in the presence of their family members especially those innocent kids that'll wear sch uniform with their parents..They should just let everything end at the checkpoint gate by making a roster of qualified applicant🤣.

Never give up bro.

Did you get any sort of funding at all?

Also, I think you should do mock interviews and maybe a review of your ds 160.

You can watch how this person got approved after the sixth time - sincerely, funding (full or partial) helps a lot especially if you have been denied before.

When applying for a US visa, one important step in the process is scheduling a visa appointment. Understanding what to expect and how to prepare for your US visa appointment can help ensure a smooth and successful experience. Here's a guide to help you navigate the US visa appointment process:

Appointment Confirmation: Once you have completed the visa application and paid the necessary fees, you will receive a confirmation with instructions on scheduling your appointment. This confirmation will include a unique confirmation number that you will need to proceed.

Appointment Scheduling: Visit the official website of the US embassy or consulate in your country to schedule your appointment. Follow the instructions provided and enter your confirmation number. You will be prompted to select a convenient date and time for your appointment. Keep in mind that appointment availability can vary, so it's advisable to schedule well in advance.

Required Documentation: Before your appointment, gather all the required documentation for your visa category. This typically includes your passport, visa application form, supporting documents such as financial statements or employment letters, and any additional documents specific to your visa type. It's essential to review the specific requirements on the official website to ensure you have all the necessary paperwork.

DS-160 Confirmation: The DS-160 form is an online visa application form that you must complete before your appointment. Make sure to bring a printed copy of the DS-160 confirmation page, as it will be required during the visa interview.

Arrival and Security Check: Arrive at the US embassy or consulate well before your scheduled appointment time. Expect to go through security screening, which may include metal detectors and bag checks. Follow any instructions given by the security personnel.

Visa Interview: The visa interview is a crucial part of the appointment. A consular officer will review your documents and ask you questions about your purpose of travel, ties to your home country, and other relevant details. Answer the questions honestly and confidently. Be prepared to provide additional documents if requested.

Visa Processing Time: After the interview, the consular officer will determine whether you qualify for the visa. The processing time for visa issuance can vary, and it's advisable to check the estimated processing times on the official website. Once approved, you will be notified regarding the collection of your passport with the visa.

Follow-up Actions: If your visa application is denied, the consular officer will provide a reason for the denial. In some cases, you may have the option to reapply or seek an appeal. It's essential to carefully review the reasons for denial and consider consulting an immigration attorney if needed.

Preparing for a US visa appointment involves careful attention to detail and thorough documentation. By understanding the process, gathering the required documents, and confidently attending the interview, you can increase your chances of a successful outcome. Remember to stay informed, follow instructions from the embassy or consulate, and be well-prepared to present your case during the interview. Good luck with your US visa application!

The most annoying thing is that, I took a flight to Abj, hoping that I would receive a positive answer. After failing to get approval letter, I had to take GUO motors back to Lagos (wasn’t worried about my return ticket because I needed a long journey back home), while hoping that the driver would just dive into one river like that due to depressive thought back then.


This US travel thing is a dangerous scam. I hate the fact that you don’t get refund of the expenses after denial.

lol US visa interview isnt that hard or a do or die thing, I think the more most people start seeing it this way the easier it becomes and the more confident they become . its basically the same questions and answers you have been preparing for months. Majority just feel inferior because its a white person interviewing you 🤷🏽‍♂️
