Travel / Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by ajalaonifaaji: 3:04pm On Sep 17, 2016
Thanks to all, I got my visa! I studied peoples transcript carefully and I learnt a lot. I learnt that confidence is of utmost importance for a successful interview. So my battery was well charged. I wore a new suit, new tie, new shoe and most importantly, I wore a brand new smile...lol

VO: Passport pls
Me: Passed my 2 passports
VO: scanned through my new passport. You have been to Germany 5 times this year alone, what do you do for a living?
Me: I work as an Assistant Logistics Manager at ****Limited, and my job involves hitting the road often to meet our business partners for business meetings.
VO: OK. (Not looking satisfied) You recently traveled to Brazil, what for?
Me: I traveled to meet our Logstics partner in Sao Paulo and also to cheer Team Nigeria at the Olympics, unfortunately we didn't come out in flying colours like the US team.
VO: (blushed) typed for about 30secs or so, are you married?
Me: No, am not.
VO: Are you traveling to the US for business also?
Me: oh no! Vacation
VO: Where would you be visiting on this trip and how long would you be staying?
Me: I intend to visit New York and enjoy a bus ride to Washington DC. I also intend to stay for 2weeks.
VO: smiling, (typing for about 20 secs) Do you have anybody in the US?
Me: Yes, I do have an uncle who lives in Houston, Texas with his family.
VO: Your visa is approved, pick up at this circled place in 3 days. Gave me a slip and returned my old passport.
Me: smiling, thanks, God Bless you.

That place has a way of making people nervous, a lot of people were speaking incoherently and avoiding eye contact, many of them didn't make it. In my opinion, I believe those guys at the embassy are cool.

Collected my passport on Wednesday, booked a Lufthansa flight to Newyork that evening, traveled on Thursday. America is indeed beautiful!

Unlike in Europe, everything is big here, even their babes. Nothing is free here, i have spent a lot of money on stuffs i would get cheaply or even for free in Spain or even Italy. I was surprised, when I met a Policeman with a tag name (**** Alade) while I was waiting for a Taxi, I spoke Yoruba to him straight and he responded speaking Yoruba back. I felt at home immediately. We even spoke about Mushin Olosha, God Bless America...God Bless Nigeria!
