If I'm applying for the sole purpose of going to the state to write an exam, should I declare I have a relative there or is it safer to just declare none and just book an hotel for the few days?

This depends on your specific circumstance.

Family’s information will be crosschecked if you decide to apply for an immigrant visa maybe if you plan to do that in future.

American immigrant visa process is mainly a family based system.

Exactly, those consular officers do what they like.
There is no specific method of getting B1/B2 visa.

To hell with the U.S Department of State and their unfair treatment towards Nigerians.

UhnNah:
Don’t make excuses for these people! Adults can travel and make arrangements for their kids to be looked after!

Not taking children on vacation is not an excuse to deny a visa application,especially for someone who haven’t miss-used a previously approved visa! These people just do what they want! Wasting people’s time and fees!

2024 is the only available period for interview now just for a tourist visa with very high tendency of denial.
That is 3 whole years. Treating Nigerians like animals.
American embassy with due respect please get out of our country.

I still don't understand why Nigerians are not willing to use the official email.

JaceyOpara:
I don't think so oo

When I missed my schedule for interview, I sent an email to them. And they rescheduled my interview and the new date reflected on my application portal.

They are quite helpful, based on my communication with them through email..... only that you have to be patient for their response....

Do what ever you like.
Does Twitter look like a tool used for tracking and handling complex passport issues?
They have provided email and phone number which is the official standard but you keep saying it is dormant without evidence.

delgook14:
Hope you know those email addresses and phone numbers are as dormant as the incompetent NIS itself?

Compile all information you have and contact Nigeria Immigration Service directly via the official email address or phone number.
Nobody on Nairaland has the ability to solve your case.

Hello NL,

I am new on this platform and will be happy to get any help you can offer.

I applied for a renewal of my passport over two years ago at the Ikoyi office. Someone had referred me to an officer there to help fasttrack the process even though he really didn't do much as I went for capturing twice and I did not get capture till the day was over. The sad part is after a while, this man said he had misplaced my passport. He was transferred from Lagos to Yola and said he kept my old passport in their office but no one could find it there. I have complained and nothing has changed. He had my passport them because I wanted to do change of name because of marriage. Now I am not sure if I should do a fresh passport with my married name as if I never had any passport before, or go on with renewal with photocopy of the old one with my old name. The old one had all my travel history. Please advise. Thank you

Twitter is not the official platform to make complaints.
No government agency can track or investigate serious issues on twitter.
Nigeria Immigration Service has provided official email address and phone numbers to make complaints but most Nigerians ignore it.

0Brien:
Try and place a complaint on their twitter handle. They may contact the Benin Passport Control Officer.

I'm trying to apply too at the Beinin office. Could you help link me with your guarantor? It's really hard finding one .

This is your civic right.
Report corrupt immigration officers.
If you don’t report the corrupt immigration officers then the whole bribery and corruption in the system will never stop.
Gather enough evidence and make your report.
You can either call or email your complaint.

please how far is true the immigration officer I gave money to help me do my passport keep telling that they're trying to link my passport to my NIMS and NIMS server is not working for a whole Week.( did capturing since 09/12/2020) I did it in Abuja my only issue is correction of age in which I paid him 140k ..it as been one issue to another and am running of out of time and taking it cool not to mention his name I have he's picture and name with me which I doubt I might be able to withstand anymore.

Lagos to NYC should be about 10 hours flight that is basically breathing this same air for 10 hours in a plane which might have multiple infected people on board.
My point is Nigerians should be patient at this moment even Buhari the president of Nigeria that loves travelling than any other person is sitting quietly in Aso rock.
People are really dying in America at this moment let's not pretend like we are not aware of it.
I was shocked to see someone on this thread asking questions about conference in the U.S at this time and I just shook my head at the level of desperation.

fkj950ax:
You haven't been to the airport lately?
The whole world has been travelling

This is the current number of planes in the air right now. Live sitrep as I am writing this

Not a single fake prophecy came to pass. Not even one.

Abdelux223:
2021 this fake pastors no see corona for their prediction in 2020

Not even one happened.

Dynamiceagle:
how many happened in 2020?

Close to 400 thousand dead in America due to Covid-19 and Nigerians still have time to discuses U.S visa?

Get their names and report corrupt immigration officers.

Sheyone:
I enrolled and captured for e-passport on Dec 21 at Ikeja Office and collection date was supposed to be Dec 30, 2020 only to get there on Friday, Jan 08 2021 to be told my passport is not ready, that i should come back in 2weeks time. This thing is frustrating.

So your aim to encourage bribery and corruption?
You basically wasted NGN40,000 and nobody is falling for that anymore.

porthouse7:
I got mine 40k today @ Ikeja, I capture last week thou

cmecproblem:
Someone on Twitter said the US is a third world country with sky scrapers. Too many people homeless, broke addicted and suffering.

Facts
America is basically like any other country on earth there is nothing spectacular about the place. I just don't get the whole hype about the place.
America is good to some certain extent but all that glitters is not gold.

UhnNah:
Relax! Just reapply! You can still get approved!

Reapply for what? There is more to life than a B1/B2 visa.
B1/B2 visa is not my goal in life or an achievement to me. I am beyond that level.
I have gotten B1/B2 visa multiple times so it is not a big deal.
I will repeat it again United States of America is the most overrated country on earth.
I used to think the United States of America was a perfect place like it is portrayed on T.V until I arrived in Queens, New York City and found homeless people scattered all over the place.
Major cities (New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C, and Baltimore) are infested with homeless people and that’s what I hate the most about America.
It is all a hype.

United States of America is the most overrated country on earth. Facts

lebron7:
This foolish scammer no see Corona
Nonsense and ingredients

They are all fake.

Really how does no 27 relate to a disease?
Coronavirus pandemic is a major global issue. It is no longer about China.

okeyglm:
didn't you see no 27

So God did not reveal the 2020 coronavirus pandemic to these so called men of God that constantly claim to hear directly from God?
I must state that for coronavirus pandemic not to be found in 2020 prophecy. This is a very clear indication that these fake men of God do not hear anything from God.
I used to believe these pastors in the past but as the years went by I noticed none of their prophecies came to pass each year.

Oshoboy01:
Prophet TB Joshua releases 11 powerful prophecies for 2020

The founder of the Synagogue Church Of All Nations, Prophet TB Joshua has released his prophecies for 2020.

The prophecies which are 11 in numbers can be described as the most anticipated prophecies in the year.

It would be recalled that the man of God wasn't in church last week because he was on the mountain seeking God's face for 2020.

While he was speaking on the 2020 prophecies in a live service at his church, he stated that he got them on the 28th Of December but he needed to confirm from God too.

Below are the prophecies

PROPHECY FOR THE WORLD:

1. This year will be a year of HUMILITY. This year, the Lord will humble us with our challenges. Challenges can be affliction, arrogance, pride, wickedness or bad habits. To humble us with these is for those things to destroy us or expose us. Let us move closer to God.

2. Agriculture will help the economy because the economy will have a backlash. People should invest in agriculture. Let us farm to help the economy.

3. There will be a common medicine that will cause people to be ‘high’ to die, to commit suicide, to think of what can lead to death. The governments of each nation should watch out and put a check on pharmaceutical drugs that come to their country.

4. America should invest more in agriculture because their economy will be affected. The economy they see today will be affected, so they should invest in agriculture and encourage their farmers. Also, approach to the security issue will affect the candidates and swing voters in the next election. It will be tough in the election. They should pray against a recount. It may be too tight.

5. Let us pray for the Nigerian government to be able to finish this year without an interlude that will cause a situation of for and against. Join me in praying for my nation.

6. Vice President, it is not yet over. Expect much more pressure. The pressure will be so much. I pray you will be able to stand the pressure. We join you in prayer.

7. Many sicknesses and diseases that leaders have been treating privately will surface this year. They will become bedridden and many will not make it.

8. Russia should pray for their leader to avert his being on the sickbed. Something will surface. There is a ladder to go up – if this is averted.

9. An incident will happen to the nation Iran that will cause panic throughout the world. We are praying to know the mind of God concerning this.

10. Work of God – people will be getting tired this year because the work of God is not by power and might; because of so many challenges, tribulations and burdens they will not be able to bear.

11. United Kingdom – there will be agitation from a section that wants to leave; that will become an issue. Also, pray for the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh against going in and out of the hospital; pray for God to give them revival. Pray for unity and understanding among the Royal Family – because of what I am seeing. Brexit needs more time to stand on its feet - with more co-operation of the EU leaders. If not, there will be economic repercussions and the cost of things will become unbearable. With time and preparation, all will be well.

Omooba77:
This is going to be a year of series of joy because it is going to be a year of series of victories. By implication, it means it will be a year of series of battles but you will win, because #TheBattleIsNotYours.

-INTERNATIONAL:
This year unless you pray very hard, it is going to behave like a child that is having convulsion; Earthquakes and volcanoes that have been dormant for years will erupt, the reason is due to SIN. SIN is becoming more rampant.

There will also be change of governments all over the world, some of the changes will be peaceful, and some will not.

GOD says: This new year, He will answer prayers

*A GLIMPSE ABOUT WHAT GOD IS SAYING ABOUT THE NEW YEAR 2020 BY PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE (GENERAL OVERSEER WORLDWIDE, RCCG).*


*1. FOR EVERY INDIVIDUAL CHRISTIANS*

... Particularly those of you who are Members of The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG).

This Year (2020) is going to be *A YEAR OF SERIES OF JOYS*.

The reason is that it is going to be a Year of "Series of Victories".

Now by implications, it means that it will be a Year of "Series of Battles".

... But you will WIN!

*And that is why He asked me to tell you in advance that "The Battle is Not Yours".*

... It will be Victories after Victories; Shout of Joy after shout of Joy.

Let me just leave it like that.

2. *The others particularly for those of you who are Members of The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG); your Pastors will be telling you.*

*3. INTERNATIONAL SCENE (INCLUDING NIGERIA)*

On the International Scene and we are going to rope Nigeria with the International Scene because there are some People who are waiting for what we will say concerning Nigeria - Nigeria is part of the world ok!

*The Earth this Year (2020) unless we Pray very hard is going to behave like a child that is having CONVULSION.*

... Earthquakes in many Places that it has never happened before and that is one of the reason that you should Pray for Nigeria.

Volcanoes that has been dormant for years erupting.

If you look at the Prophesies for Year 2019 for the International Scene; I gave it to you as a Bible Passage - Two (2) Bible Passages - You will see Fire and Flood.

*But the Lord said that whatever we have seen last Year (2019) is nothing compared with what is Coming in Year (2020).*

Except His children will Pray so that His Healing Hands can be upon the Nations of the world.

*... And the reason is that SIN is becoming far, far more rampant than before. Things that in the Past will not even be mentioned is now being celebrated and God is Angry.*

But if we should Pray and which is one of the reason that we should Evangelise rapidly, God will Help.

*This Year; there will be CHANGES of Governments all over the world in many Places.*

Some of the Changes will be Peaceful while some will not be Peaceful.

... That is all that I can tell you for now!

Of course, you know that we are going to Fast.

I will tell you more about that on Friday. (3rd of January, 2020). You can still enjoy yourself for now.

*The Fasting will not begin until January 11th, 2020.*

So you can still celebrate and enjoy yourself.

4. Now to one very important thing; my daddy said concerning those of you who are my children in particular: *This New Year (2020) HE WILL ANSWER PRAYERS - AMEN!*

*...
