TravelRe: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by Ayokunle07(m): 5:54pm On May 03, 2016
Thank you all. Wifey and I were at the embassy for the 7am appointment and we got our visas approved. I shall share the transcript soon.

Once again, I appreciate all the contributors on nairaland for the wealth of information that's been shared here. God bless you all.

Ayokunle07:
Hello guys

I have been keenly following this thread, read through many transcripts, and they've been very insightful. My wife and I have applied to visit the US in August for 3 weeks for our annual vacation. Appointment is next week.

Our destination is New Jersey (Newark) and this is because of its comparatively lower accommodation cost and proximity to New York. We will be hoping to do a lot of sightseeing in New York and perhaps see a little of Newark/New Jersey (as I see there aren't a lot of interesting attractions in New Jersey by itself).


Will I need to reflect my answer to why I am visiting, around New Jersey ONLY or I can state that I'll be seeing New York too? I have booked a hotel for 3 weeks in Newark but I'm considering the possibility of touring other states. Will I need to mention that too?

Our US point of contact is wife's cousin in Chicago whom we do not intend to visit (we just filled her name as our contact person) but she is a legit immigrant (visa lottery I think).

Also, in 2013, I submitted a DS-160 to visit my friend in Idaho but I never booked an appointment (he is a student and I was still single). Will that have any implications on this particular application?

Me and wifey are both bankers, earn a combined sum of about 600 monthly, newly got married in Dec 2015, with the honeymoon in Dubai. No travel history for me except Dubai and Ghana. Wifey has visited the UK twice in 2007 and 2010 as a small geh with her parents (doubt if that will count). Wifey is also into clothing business.

Are there any specific things I'd need to note? Any advice we can get from the good people here?

This is a public service announcement. To whom it may concern.
Etihad is currently flying to JFK, New York (from Lagos) at about 180k. Tested dates in May as well as November 2016. And yeah, the downside is that you get to spend a night (7 hrs) at the Abu Dhabi airport on both legs of the trip. I found the fares on flyboku.com just in case you're interested.

P.S. I am not a sales agent/marketer; just contributing some value to this beautiful thread. Cheers!

Thank you LadyMummyG smiley

LadyGuinivere:
The fact that u didn't follow up on an application alone will not be an issue. However, if there are material differences in the form, there could be a possibility of an issue. Your details are already on the system. Any vo interviewing can access your former ds 160. So if there are inconsistencies, it is only natural that a reasonable man would have a degree of bias about your honesty
TravelRe: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by Ayokunle07(m): 10:33am On Apr 27, 2016
Thank you LadyG,

The form says we can put the name of anyone we know/that can identify us in the US, and since I will be disclosing that we know her (being my wife's cousin), we used her name. I was made to understand it doesn't have to be the person whom we are visiting.

Will the fact that I didn't follow a previous application up with an appointment have any effect on my current application?

LadyGuinivere:
The only advice is for you to read the thread and pick up the tips already given. You will not be asked any other questions different from the usual or what you were asked before.
Ps: why did you put a contact person when she is not your contact person?

Hi people.

I would love to go to Dubai on a week long holiday, but can't find any of my friends interested in coming, so wondering if there are any other solo travellers/cool residents out there might be interested in getting together?


My plan is to do the trip between 28 Sep and Oct 3, stay in a good hotel (maybe 3-star) and then do day trips / tours to visit some of the city attractions, including maybe a desert safari / Dhow Cruise (which BTW, I heard, must be booked for a minimum of two persons), tour the city and visit the markets to see if I can get a few things for myself.


I'd like my own hotel room, but if any other solo travellers would like to book into the same hotel we could meet up each morning and do some things.


I'm planning my trip with Wakanow and so far, it appears to be a good deal.


If anyone else is interested let me know. Thanks.

Bros! Sending applications online is good but try talking to people one-on-one. Go on linkedin and package yourself as if you are sending a business proposal.

Networking is the fastest way of getting a job nowadays. I once "advertised" a girl on my BBM PM, highlighting her credentials (First Class too awaiting NYSC) and skills, as if she was a tangible commodity. In no time, one of my customers contacted me and asked for her details. I hooked them up but she declined the job because the pay couldn't cover her transportation costs and some other recurrent costs.

The point is that you need to package yourself like you're trying to sell a product and get a lot of people to know about you and what you can do!

@ OP
Now that you know those locations are taken over by armed criminals you should do the necessary thing by report them to the police as a good citizens. The Nigerian police have to take note of those areas and station outposts there with immediate effect. Not by having outposts for extracting money from commercial drivers but to safeguard the life of commuters.
