Abrespect: I WAS 2 TRAVEL ON D 26TH SEPT, I'VE BOUGHT MY TICKET, AROUND 2.00AM, ARMED ROBBER CAME 2 MY HOUSE IN LAGOS, STOLE MY BAG CONTAININ MY DOCUMENTS & THEY HEAT GUN ON MY HEAD WHN I WAS DRAGIN MY BAG WIT DEM, RIGHT NOW I'M IN D HOSPITAL WHT SHOULD I DO?
Oh bloody shit! Thank God you are alive. You have to contact the embassy ASAP and let us know their feedback. I really pity you. This is a big lesson for everyone on this forum and still in Nigeria. We have advise ourselves long time ago on this forum that after you collect your documents and passport, you can deposit it at the bank for safety reasons. I don't know how that works. Me after i collect my document, I kept it under the bed of someone i really trust which is over 80miles to my house. He knew about it. You don't have to tell everybody you won a visa lottery. When i won, I only told my mom, my brother and the person who kept the document for me. Just three people. I live together with my friends. I told none of them, we played the lottery together and i was the only one that won. For more than a year, I kept it a secret. I told my GF of 3yrs about it after i got my ticket and traveling in two weeks. Is not that i don't trust her. Its just better to be on the safer side. I told only a friend a day to my departure date. Only my GF & my brother escort me to the airport. NOW IM HERE. #TEAMNONOISE. I doubt those robber's came for money. They came for the documents. Someone don't want you to travel. I just hope the embassy can help you. GOODLUCK.

oh my God! my herat so go out to you. this is indeed tragic and someone obviously doesnt want your progress on this my brother. all i'll advice you do is contact the embassy via their lagos email and go there in person if you can with all evidence of the incidence, including your hospital bills. i pray u wont loose this golden opportunity ust like that. the devil is a liar. do everything possible pls.....even if it requires getting a lawyer to speak on ur behalf. i believe the Americans are very understaning especially when it comes one being honest. it is well my brother. may God give u d grace and wisdom to fight this through with testimony in Jesus name.

Am so sorry for that, if you still in the hospital, my advice for you is to go the to trend "Am a consular officer ask your visa questions" explain how it goes may be they can do something to that quickly.
Re: DV 2013 Winners Meet Here by Fortsucc(f): 1:27pm On Sep 27, 2013

Wow. Men I like this guy. You are so reserved in that. And you were able to keep it and control it and contain it. Hmm, are you British ni? 'Oh bloody poo' And for the guy, he should contact embassy ASAP, or can contact the Visa Officer for swift response here: https://www.nairaland.com/1359935/u.s-consular-officer-ask-me

Husmern: whc kind prob pls?
My brother why do you want to know the problem? Either big or small. Problem is problem. Its better if you leave Nigeria before your medical expires. Its may cause deportation at the POE. It may require you to do another medical over there and will cost almost $2000.

vry sad experience ,what u were expectd to 1st do is to go to d airline or snd smone to change the date on ur flight ticket though it ll only cost u 100 dollars and xplain to dem that it was stolen and regards to d passport and visa u ll need a police report b4 u can go to the US embassy they ll only block the stolen visa and issue u a new one on a new passport. Plz neva u drag anything wth robbers it is vry dangerous ur life is more important dan the visa or ticket what if in d process ur enemy was killd, when there is life there is HOPE. wish u gd luck

Addition to what bro jide just said, Don't tell anybody about the processing. Tell them its gone. After you get your visa and document leave Nigeria immediately. @bro jide ~ is he going to do another medical, pay another visa fee?

Medical is no more required in his case cos he has bn given a visa b4 it was stolen d embassy ll jst need a police report 4m him and also do d necessary investigation and ll replace d stolen visa moreso he shld chng d flight date which i hope it is nt too late.

Freshie:

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!

Good luck

Abrespect: PLS UR ADVICE IS NEEDED ON D POSSIBLE WAY OUT, I'M THINKING OF GOING 2 D EMBASSY AFTER I'M DISCHARGED 4RM HOSPITAL. DO I NEED A FRESH VISA OR WHAT SOME ONE SHOULD PLS TALK 2 ME.

This is serious bro, very sorry to hear this. U need to get in touch with the embassy fast, as u cannot be issued anoda visa after September 30th. Send a mail to LagosIV informing them of ur predicament and ask for advise. Time is of essence as u will need to get anoda passport even if they agreed to issue u a new visa. We go into prayer with you that the good Lord will touch the heart of these evil ones n they will return or drop the passport n documents where u will get it as it is of no use to them or anybody.
You need to report immediately to Nigeria Police n search ur self if u av been toking too much to some ppl or are u owing any agent, don't know just reminiscing. Wish u all the best in getting ur American dream back on track IJN amen.
