What's the VIN?

Chukwuka16:
Ok Sir.

You know what's funny though - most of the white/caribbean folks I know are relocating to Africa/Asia. Every now and then, I see them registering one local company in Mozambique, Sierra-Leone, Ghana and Nigeria! Was in the country late March/April and discovered South Africans coming into the country to carry out market survey on the feasibility of their business (in the energy sector - inverters and all that)!

Africa is the next cash cow, because all attention is shifting to her to make sure she doesn't derail global climate change agenda. We are talking serious money wrt climate change, adaptation, electrification etc. This is worth £billions in the long term. What are we doing about it? Nothing. UK is strategically developing policies to ensure that her foreign aids through DFID, DEFRA and BEIS contribute to net zero emissions by 2050. This is an open door to data scientists and engineers and agriculturists to start building capacity for windfall because local capacity must be built. These information are online and free to access but alas, my people perish for lack of knowledge.

Shey Nigeria is too hard, so we all should move away? What happens when they come into our country and milk it dry and then get it working? We would start running back abi? Nigerians have never been known to have an orderly system. Shey Canaan Land is run by angels? (We can talk about the issue of inequality and morality of the investments over beer), but isn't it functioning? I've been there and was humbled that such a place does exist. What of the Jehovah's Witness HQ in Edo State (Igieduma), is it not here in Nigeria? No power outage for years, clean, constant electricity, order and all.

I know Nigeria sucks. I know. It hurts to be saying this, but life in Nigeria can really get hard. I was there. But let's keep emotions aside, what value do you think you will add to the country you want to migrate to? What skills do you have that will wow them and incentivise these guys to sponsor you? If you are not coming in as a professional, the alternative is good old fashioned hard work (not mental work).

Sincerely, if the truth be told, the life of an average Nigerian in the abroad is an average one. Life shouldn't be average especially when matched with our potentials. And the daily dose of discrimination, forget it!

Chukwuka16:
Sincerely, we need to take a chill pill as a people and get to understand that there is life outside "The USA". I understand the desperation to go see the abroad and all, but hey, it shouldn't come at such high costs like is being displayed here. Lies, deceit, fake documents etc. are too high a cost.

Let's sit down and build capacity/reputation back home. I built one that's why I can travel and have those expenses sponsored. These embassies shouldn't be feeding fat on our ignorance and desperation. They can see it on our faces when we apply.

iyaaliya:
Please, I want to confirm the following:
1. Can a Nigerian with a valid US visa still apply to CAnada from US? Travel date to US is end of June, I am thinking what if passport does not come out (paper route) or if online route too gets unnecessarily long, can he apply in the US? I know this was applicable at a time but please, has anyone done this recently? OR
2. If one concludes the application online in Nigeria, is there a way of getting the visa sticker in New York.
Thank you

A guy did this sometimes ago on Canada thread but I have searched for that post n can’t find.

Good day house. Please I have some questions. I applied for us visa renewal via Dropbox in Lagos since on the 29th of March. No update on my appointment schedule page, when I track with my passport number it says no update also. Is this normal? My friend said she got hers in less than a week in Abuja. This is my first time using Dropbox. What do I need to do? Or should I just wait? Thank you

What I want to know now is that, is DS160 and visa appointment form compulsory for both of them or is it my wife alone that needs DS160 and visa appointment form. Kindly help me out

Please, I found an interview date for May, 20, 2019 but I am travelling to Japan on May 23, 2019. Please what I want to know is if my visa is approved, can I collect my passpprt back on or before the morning of May 23rd (my Japan flight is scheduled for 1:45pm)

estijaz:
Hi,
My issue is quite complex. I have an important conference to attend at the University of Virginia, USA from June 17-21, 2019. However the nearest available interview appointment time in Nigeria is August 22, 2019. I requested for an expedited interview process and was denied. However, I will be travelling to Japan on a tourist visa from May 23-June 7, 2019:

1) Can I schedule my visa interview at the US Embassy in Tokyo instead (their nearest available date is April 18, 2019)?

2) Can I cancel my previous appointment (the one I created just so I can activate the Request an Expedited interview button) on my US Embassy in Nigeria portal and use the same MRV receipt number to schedule an interview in Tokyo during my visit dates (I have to create a new account on the Embassy in Japan's website)?

3) Can I use thesame Ds-160 form that I previously used to apply for a US visa in Nigeria to schedule my new interview date in Tokyo?

4) Does my visiting Japan on a tourist visa affect my interview decision?


Thanks in advance!

House I need your advice!

I applied to Kansas State University to study BSc in Milling Science and Management. I have been admitted and have got my I-20.
I finished my secondary school in 2007 and I have OND and BSc in Computer Science. Also married with 2 kids and i have applied for b1/b2 visa twice and was denied.
I currently work in grain milling industry in Ghana spanning 8 years working experience.
I passed all IOAM exams modules and I am certified in 2012. IAOM means International Association of Operative Millers.

Kansas State University is the only university in the that offers degree in Milling Science and Management hence the reason why I applied to the school in order to become expert and grow in the industry.

What is my chance of getting visa with the following:

Marriage status
Already have a BSc and still applying for another BSc
Already denied for B1/B2 visa twice

LegitBachelor:
Bro ntyce was right. You don't "support a course", rather you "support a cause"

Trying to use context, or semantics to claim you are right is very dangerous.

What makes one a Scholar is not his ability not to make mistakes but his ability to take corrections from his mistakes.

Hello House.
Good day everyone in the group.
I wish you all a happy New Year.
My question is: I wish to travel to the US on holidays wiht my family: my husband and 2 kids.
My husband has a bout 1Million naira in his account while I have about 3 million.
We both work, though I earn more. i work in a well known establishment while my husband works for a small time business and earns like 100K per month.
Will it be ok for us to start the visa application process?
Thanks for your kind advice.

donchukey:
Pls I work with a federal agency. I am looking at spending my annual leave in the United States with my wife (Miami). I have never travelled before. I and my wife are both first timers, we have 6 kids but we don't intend travelling with them. What are the required documents? with a bank statement of 3million, what are our chances of getting a visa?

TheCongo2:

OmoBendel24:

Please advise.

aywhy93:
Hello house,

Great job y'all doing here. Thanks for the info y'all sharing.

I have a question please... Can a Corps Member who wants to travel to the USA for a conference during his/her service year be seen to have good tie to Nigeria..? I mean the fact that he/she is serving and needs to come back to his or her place of work after the travel be seen as a tie?

What do you think? Thanks

IyawoToBe:
You 'came'into? Means you never returned, on a b1/b2 visa... hmmmmm! You see why you people give us a bad name? The embassy folks are getting wiser everyday too, and that's why he may not be able to get the visa on a virgin passport at this time with his profile.
