You Won't Understand Nigeria's Situation Until You Visit An Embassy by Mummyfour(f): 2:23pm On Aug 23, 2023
21st if August, I was at the American embassy for a visa appointment.

From the period spanning 3 hours I was there, nobody left the interview room with a smile or laughter. Almost every one there was rejected.

The funniest thing about the rejection was the verdict on the light blue paper given to the intending travellers which read" you have not demonstrated that you have enough ties to bring you back to Nigeria "

In a layman's terms, it means we are suspecting that you want to japa into the US.

The most painful aspect was a lot of undergraduates that were turned down. A guy that had a $60,000 worth of scholarship was bounced too.

I saw someone who was just going on a study leave from a whole Deloitte where he works in presently in Nigeria being bounced too.
Most of the interviewers didn't even check out relevant documents of the applicants, but just drew their conclusion based on face value.

I was discussing with people and they said inasmuch as the reason for that verdict was baseless and stupid, we Nigerians are viewed as the worst of the worst world citizens to allow access into the US, irrespective of one's qualifications.
We have a government, system and people that are fantastically corrupt.
We have people who engage in and support illegalities.

Our judiciary is biased and is for the highest bidders, and our political system and elections are flawed (none is perfect anywhere in the world) but ours is glaring and very embarrassing.

Our leaders are not patriotic and that is why when we as citizens have our rights trampled on locally or internationally, nothing is done about it.
Nigeria is not regarded as anything again.
In other words, we are just seen as nothing but irritating pollutants.

So for those of you that applaud evil in this land, pray you remain forever in Nigeria because even if it is just to go and visit and come back, they will not allow you.
If you even have a scholarship or any good thing that can take you out of this country, you will be frustrated at the embassy.

And for those of you that left already and are destroying the name of Nigeria, God's punishment awaits you.
And for those that are still making us proud in the US and elsewhere, may God continue to bless your efforts

I rest my case.

The major challenge to this is the involvement of our leaders and government in every corruption module. It's even better now. Let the dust over 2023 elections settled, that's when we will get the real deal

These countries have quota. If they make it easy thousands or millions of people will try to japa. Unfortunately many with right intentions will be caught up in the rejections and mess.

If they're not corrupt, quota systems means when you attain the set quota you stop selling whatever it is your products are and attend to what you already have. Why collect money when you know you're not going to issue Visas...more like bet9ja if you ask me.

They have to be strategic at it. People keep mentioning Germany as a good option for study but forget that obtaining a German student visa from Nigeria takes at least a year from the date of application to the interview date. Interview, not visa issuance, as an interview does not guarantee a visa.

that is my thoughts too.
Why continue to collect visa application fee from people.
Now the rejected people will still reapply.
It is terrible

My advice generally for guys is to try and travel to other countries... get atleast a temporary residency from that country and apply for a US visa... atleast your chances are higher den...

But coming from nigeria with just Nigeria passport... it's based on lucky... US doesn't run based system.. so its based on luck

Quota system cannot be consumed in the half period of the year...

So if the quota says... approve 10,000 Nigerians in 2023... it's dia job to know how to split the approvals in each day to cover a year... which maybe 35 approvals per day!.. na your grace go come help you join those lucky applicants

This information is not Official, but just a random theory

Lol. OP is JJC.
This has always been the case at the US Embassy. The US no send anybody.

2 of my friends back in the early 2000s got the visas with the embassy staff not even checking any doc they brought with them. One landed in the US with $5 and the other $10. Of course they never returned to Nigeria and are both citizens now. Meanwhile during that period, several Nigerian senators where denied visiting visas.

US Visa is like lottery.
