a case of pot calling kettle black, since
you are on the social media and have any solid evidence of corruption you are in a better position to call them out to appropriate authorities.
the worst place in US and Canada is better than the best place in your shithole country.

Is this a premium joke??
in my own case there was a very very strong tie.

And secondly documents were not even perused at all.
Infact the folder was closed the way it was from home.

So it wasn't a case of documentation, and there was no questions asked regarding ties to warrant that kind of verdict.

Be that as it may, does it mean that more than 200 people that had the same verdict didn't have strong ties , besides some didn't even have their documents perused

Forget about all these. They give people VISA. They reject more though but people get it.
My younger sis was on $34k scholarship and she got it.
I know about 2 people who got it too. All at first attempt.
They are giving people. You just have to know what to do to get it.
If they don't give you now, try again.
Try Abuja.
Don't scare those who want to try.
oga I am definitely not scaring any one.

Take time to read my post okay.
I also inferred that a lot of people from the hours of 6:30am to 9am were denied visa.
Are you saying that they were all not qualified.

Meanwhile Abuja was not conducting interviews as at when our application went through. We had to fly to Lagos for the interview.

There are things that are beyond the ordinary eyes, no matter how overtly prepared you are for things like that

I do not blame them. People who hitherto wouldn't Japa are doing so in droves.

MY sister who travelled to the States for holiday with her husband in 2018 or so decided not to come back when she did the following year.

She worked in a bank.

No matter how good your salary, the Naira's virtually worthless. We might as well be paid in Korean Won or Indonesian Rupiah. That is what 8 years under the very incompetent hands of Buhari has caused

Has your sister shared any story of regret with you ?. How she has to work as a factory worker under unhealthy conditions to make that pittance. How she dropships at unholy hours? Have u seen the pressure that makes illegal alien, especially age within short time?

Being in the United States after abusing your Visitor's visa is not straight forward.

Even if you get US citizenship, they will keep investigating till you are dead. Once they determine you have given an inconsistent information to either the consular officer before you got the visa or while in the United States, you will be stripped of your citizenship and recommended for deportation.

Be careful with the United States and its immigration laws.

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.

It beats me when I see some àgbàdo Nigerians on Twitter who have managed to escape from this hellish country but still supporting evil back home, like that ọgbẹni Dipọ on Twitter.

If you want to travel to Canada, UK, U.S have it at the back of your mind you need to be ready with a strong ties home and abroad. Your home ties will be your work capacity/business entity, your abroad ties will be your hosting contacts.
If study, your work must tally with your study course,
If visit your home ties must tally with your foreign invitation like family, business connects and delegated diaspora communication to/fro in the past.
Medical visit all bills must be fully paid and accreditation from ministry of health in home country citing reasons why medical support can't be attain in country of residence.
Money in account should amount btw 250 to 500 thousand USd... personal statement in DOMICILIARY or Personal Statement
If you bring 50-100m account u will b bounced.

You guys should keep donating your 60,000# visa fee or how much is it now self, to the US state department. At least you are doing the US government a favor by making their Nigerian embassy and consulate the most self sufficient in the World without any need for US government allocation. You Nigerians are very rich so keep dashing them money and they will keep collecting.

This is no story, nothing strange about it.
Most of those rejected will still be given visas one day.
Most of Nigerians based abroad today have had their visa applications rejected in the past.

Baba, they don't just issue you a U.S citizenship without all the necessary background checks to all the way to when you applied at the embassy.

They do extra due diligence before granting it to you, and once you get it, that's all.

Caveat... unless there's something totally off with the application in the 1st place, or a blatant misrepresentation of fact that was previously missed due to error etc...

Blame those who were given Visitor's visa and Student's visa and abused them. Nigerians are profiled as one of the high risk Nation that will abuse visa.

Let the truth be told, over 90% of the people that were bounced would abuse their visas. The Consular Officers have seen it all. Sadly some few individuals with genuine intention will be bounced too but majority that are bounced are deserving of it.

You must give them a genuine reason why your case is different. US embassy care less about your document. Your body language and what you say will determine it. You cannot fill in your application form that you are going for tourism and you pick Indiannapolis. You have shot yourself in the leg before you utter a single word.

Stop heaping blames on the Government alone, the citizen's behaviours play key roles too.

But what of Doctors that have gotten a job to work there.

Are they denied visas as rampant as this too, or they have a special visa?

Thank you.

It is indeed a curse to be Nigerian. I'm on my third attempt now to get a visa, and hopefully it will be successful this time after two previous failed attempts. Sometimes i wonder why humans have to go through such difficult processes just to travel. I sometimes envy the birds that fly freely at will. We committed no crime as immigrants; we just want to leave this country for the rich, corrupt people to defecate upon. Is that a crime?

You would have to pass the US Nursing licensing exams to be able to practice as a nurse in the US and also have a high score in your IELTS. Nigerians get Visa to the US and Canada every day. Just get all that's required and needed. It's preferable to use Abj as Lagos can be something else.
