Fortsucc: Here is my experience. I was the primary applicant why my husband was the beneficiary no child yet. Our interview was on the 13th of Sept. Which we were reschedule to on the 16th of sept. This time around it was black that interviewed us, I was called to window 8 which is a room and I was interview first for about one hour. I was told to call my spouse and he was interview in the same room for about Ten minute why I stay outside, he later came out and told me that they said we should stay outside till they call us again. It was like ten minutes later when they called us at the window,they now gave us a refusal letter which it was written attempted human smugling. And of which it was my husband surname that was written on my NYSC certificate, so they now said it was a forge and they didn't give me my original document back, so we accepted it like that. When it was on the 18th of Sept around 1:00pm a number called me and the was from embassy asking us to come back on Monday with my parent and spouse parent's picture which we took along with us on Monday,so they have done some verification on my NYSC certificate which they now confirm that I was truely married to him and that the document was not forged, it was also the same window 8 that I was interview again for about 30 minutes during the interview they went into our facebook account with out asking of our user name and our password that surprise me a lot, so they also interview my spouse again. We were told to go out, we sat for about 10minutes they called us back and they said congratulation,welcome to America and they collected our passports that we should come and collect our visa in a week time. That was my experience to cut the whole story short. It was victory at last, I really thank God for making it a success.
Congratulation.. Wow.. Im so so happy for you. I'm just imagining how you re feeling after you are deny on your first interview. Do you ever think they will call you back? God is great. Welcome to America. Come and enjoy your married life in America. We singles dey suffer here lol.

idriez:
So unfortunate to hear that, I had a similar experience & had to weather the storm. My sincere advice is for her to look for a church member or friend that has someone here who can accommodate her for a short time and at the same time prepare her mind to rent a room once she lands... it aint easy though but with God on her side it will.
she doesn't knw any chrch member,cos she hasn't arrived america yet,stil in naija,abt to leave soon

obinnaud: Hello my fellow nairalanders, to God be d glory I wud be leaving Nigeria for Texas dis saturday. But I gat some pressing questions I wanted to ask. One concerns me, d oda concerns a close friend of mine.

1. I am an ardent Blackberry user. I'm sure some
of u were before your journey to America. I want
to know some of d cheapest networks that offer
BIS subscription in texas, by how much and how do I activate it. If
possible- suggest also d preferred networks that
cost less to call back home (Nigeria)
2. My friend is coming to Minessota and I have discovered
that d cheapest flights I can get are to JFK New
York- using Qatar Airlines. My question is- when I
get to NY, how easy is it to book another flight to
Minessota (without booking online first)... Is it a
straightforward process to work to d counter and
pay cash for a flight? If u have done this before,
are d costs d same as those shown online?
(Online- with about $200 I can get a flight from
JFK to my destination...

3. Though I have a host whom I would be with for sometime, but how much dollars do I nid to hold dat would be reasonable enuf as basic travel allowance.
Thanks for d gudwork guys.

Im a blackberry user too. You can use simple mobile its $40 per month but i use T.Mobile $50 per month. I use Simple mobile when i first got here but their signal is not strong like T.Mobile so i switch. If you want to call Nigeria, I use www.raza.com always got like more than 100mins for just $5.

. Good morning, yes I did my marriage before the result came out too, but I never knew what the consular saw that makes him to reschedule us but my thinking was that may be because of my husband name that was written on my NYSC certificate they want to make verification and be sure it was not forged just to collect Visa, so it was after the verification we were called back, My advise for you is that you and your spouse should study yourself very well. Your spouse will be the one to be interview first because she is the principal applicant they will asked questions about the highest grade she make in her Olevel result and the course she studied in the school and her project. You people should make sure you are bold and don't be afraid. I wish you best of luck.

Tobi henryo: @Freshie..hope you re doing great?how is ur newborn baby doing?how is ur preparation for the baby going as well....wish you all the best.tobihenryO.

Yes o, I'm doing great. My wife and son were discharged from the hospital on Sunday, and I almost immediately took ill, stooling and vomiting but am ok now. I've picked up my son's birth cert from NPC, passport runs will be next week.

As soon as I get his passport, I'll email them requesting a date for an appointment. I sent them another email last week just for confirmation that we would come after Sep 30 and they said "your wife may come with her visa package any day Monday through Friday at 1:00pm before the expiration of her visa in February 2014".

We are still gathering ticket fees, by His grace we should travel before November 1.

Thanks grin

Have a nice day forumites!
