[Congratulations, but pls im confused, seems you did renewal, why didn't you use the Dropbox option]

My girls are apply for the first time...and they are under 14 years...

doyinwbaby:
it can be booked latest by november 10. and used latest by OCTOBER 2018. i am looking for someone travelling december or january cos the minimum u can buy is 2 FOR business class and 3 FOR economy

Oh...we are four and our travel date is end march 2018. I have checked their website...the price didn't even look like there's a discount...except I'm not doing the right things...

seyewest:
I hope not it will be dropbox.

The girls will still be under 14years...

We were up early to catch the 7.15am appointment today and I can't complain as I was on my feet all through the ordeal.

First came along the business men and touts or shall I say emergency agents on the short walk to Walter Carrington street who tried all they could to have us take photographs and make photocopies or even buy stapler pins. I tried as much as possible to be as polite but their ignorance stink to the high heavens. They didn't fail to tell me that the procedures at the US embassy had changed, in their minds...I guess.

We were lucky to get a fast track to a VO as my girls are still kids. There were two applicants before us and as I listened to the answers they provided...were I the VO, I would have denied them, the VO couldn't disagree with me. Then came our turn...

Adeneyagrofeeds:
Guru in d house should pls answer ds question

Please stop misinforming this guy.

You can apply with your soon to expire passport, but you need a passport with a minimum of 6 months validity to travel to the US.

If a Visa is issued on your old passport, the Visa will still be valid until it eventually expires. You will only need to carry the new one along with it.

See more details in the link below.

Please i need to know which keyboard is best for android

I will suggest the Google keyboard available on the play store.
You have to be wary of third party keyboards...it could secretly transmit your credentials to evil people...

Aibisoye0:
I was referring to the duration. But the planes from Doha to new York. Good planes, not much passengers this period so you can stretch leg on the free seats of you're lucky

Thanks, i just checked now the layover on the return leg is 14hrs...kilode...

Aibisoye0:
Came in today via Qatar. Anyone planning to use Qatar, brace yourself the journey Na real Israelite journey. Still at the airport to connect to our final destination.

Kindly explain better o.
I'm planning to book a family ticket on this airline...

Constituted authority reporting to .....?

chimoore247:
Okay thanks for your response, first and foremost I am not desperate,I have a good job here and I have my family, I mean my husband and daughter. I have made that mistake we all make mistakes, I am just looking for a way forward and solution. Solution is all am seeking now thank you and God bless you.

You can apply to another country for now and that might count for you when next you come back to the US embassy.

No Kain dance wey dem no go use this our defenders dance for Russia. By the time General Messi dance python dance on top their hand, we go no say these our defenders are average at best, nay most of our players.

Congrats to him anyways. I watched him yesterday and i salute his undying and unwavering patriotism to the team.

It will take a miracle for Messi to be at the world cup...

How much your upgrade cost you?

Electricity is rediculously cheap in Nigeria.
One of the reasons why availability and stability will continue to elude us. Several years ago...I told a friend in Czech Republic how much I pay in a month for power, he couldn't believe it until I added that I only get a few hours supply each day, even at that, he was so so surprised.

Imagine how many investors will invest here with this slim profit margin. Many of the discos would have been out of business if we had strong regulatory bodies.

Fair points...the team needs to improve.

The AR who was in a better position to spot the offside already did that...the angle shown on TV was poor and cannot be used as a photo judge of the positions of the players...

Also the referee's whitsle had gone before the ball got into the net...

waiting for feedback from the first subscribers before I migrate and dumb the scamming dstv.

Everybody is waiting for somebody...

Just before anybody moves...Nobody gets there first...

Tooyib:
Thanks. We didn't violate any rule. She's just scared.

How scared was she when you first applied? You can tell her the fears are misplaced...

jnwankwo:
Buyer beware, Do your research before you jump in. Here is my little research on this.

These TSTV guys are actually reckless. I am really surprised that they brought the minister into this.
I believe that this is another MMM. Buyers beware. This is based on the following:

Don't mind our people...

It amazes me how we get burnt each time with sweet scams. We won't just ask the right questions. No one is against cheaper solutions but how will it be delivered?

No be so we no ask which change the last?

Tooyib:
Hello house,
I and my wife have us b1/b2 visas that will expire in jan. We traveled on the visa once for childbirth( we declared to vo and at Poe)
We want to go again next year God willing.
My wife doesn't want to risk denial so she want to travel early Jan before the visa expire

My questions are
1. Can I apply for renewal now giving vacation as my reason or wait for her to get there and apply for renewal for the purpose of joining her
2. Is it advisable to apply for renewal before expiry or how late after expiry can one expire?

Thanks all. Responses will be much appreciated.

You should check the US embassy website to know if you can apply for a renewal before the expiry of your current Visa. I am only sure of the Dropbox application which you can do within the first year after your Visa expires.

Besides that, how do you want to link your application to your wife's presence in the US when her own Visa will also expire in Jan?

If you have not violated any of the terms on which the first Visa was issued, i think you stand a great chance of getting it renewed.

Yea, if it is Religion and tribalism it is very easy to divide like the case of India and pakistan,singapore and Malaysia.
This countries seeking for Independence are mainly due to resources, the Government feel that if they allow them to go then they will die of hunger. eg
Ambazonia in Cameroon
Kurds in Iraq
Biafra in Nigeria
Casmire in India
Western Sahara in Morocco

The economic resons you are referring to have been badly magnified by tribe and religion even in the cases you listed...

Odingo1:
Have been in a condition of losing your life line before(I mean source of income),then you will understand.Most of the region trying to break away are the life line of the country.The funny part of it is that this regions are normally shortchange and those shortchanging them are backed by world powers to steal their resources.The region that have nothing will sell their resources at give away to western powers and eat from crumps that fall the table of the world powers.

Sometimes it might not be about resources but deeper things like religion and tribalism especially in Africa.

This marriage of incovinences cannot hold up together forever. The less productive regions will be forced to up their game.

I was just discussing this with my wife last night. She was reporting the scenes of the Spain and Catalonia on CNN to me.

I am also at a loss why countries would lock down tribes or regions who are willing to secede forcing them to go through the bloody route to the actualization of their dreams.

When people put God and Visa in the same sentence, it screams desperation at me...

No be to go vacation and come back? Abeg let God have time to answer better better prayers jare...

In case it's an Android phone...it was restored by your Google account.

You want the new operator to show EPL, UCL and other top European leagues...

Buy Naija to grow the Naira indeed...

LagosNIV:
Hello bodejohn -

You may file for the visas with your old passports if you would like. You will need to have a passport with at least 6 months of validity to enter the US, but the visa does not necessarily need to be in that passport. You would then need to travel with your old (expired or expiring in less than 6 months) passport containing your valid visa as well as your new passport with at least 6 months validity.

Thanks...very much appreciated.

@AbujaNIV, @LagosNIV

Our Visas (wife and I) to the US expired some few weeks ago and we are planning to renew.
My wife's passport will expire end April 2018 but we are planning to visit the US and return within the first and second weeks of same April 2018 for family vacation. She can't renew her passport until December when the validity will be less than 6 months.

Considering the average waiting time of about 1 to 2 months to book an appointment, can we proceed with the about to expire passport or wait to renew before applying? I usually like to secure the visa early so we can save on early flight booking.

Derende:
From what I can deduce from your interview,
I can candidly tell you that the odds was not on your side today, tomorrow might be your lucky day. One thing about the us visa is that it is 95% luck and 5% ties to me. As for the aspect of you going with your family, I don't think that would have changed anything. All my visit to the us for the us in the past decade I have never applied with my family,though I was denied the first time. So just give it some time and apply again maybe next year. Better luck next time and pray very well.

95% luck? I don't think so.
To me, the ds160 form is like an entrance examination...or say a grading system.

If you have made a good impression with what you filled in...then it will be piece of cake (luck or grace whichever you prefer)

Akala had since decamped to APC. This should not be a surprise.

— the region's pro-independence ruling government...

That's the way to go, IPOB and Biafra agitators need to begin the process of controlling the governments in the states they want declared as part of Biafra Republic.

Abeg, wake the guy up, he is just having a nightmare...

AirstarKane:
thanks for the info. i was just thinking of getting one but then no thinking of traveling out soon is it a necessity and how long before a renewal?what's the differences with the booklet types?

32 pages for once or twice in a year travellers and 64 pages for the ajalas...

But trust me, the qouted prices in Naira are outdated, 32 pages for age 0 - 17years is now 20k (Aug 2017 price), so age 18yrs to 65yrs would definitely be more.
