Haha!!! Baddest!!! grin grin grin
But you do remember how some boarding students fall sick often. And of course those days we had a stronger immune system compared to now. As you grow older your immune system weakens,but there are food supplements you can take to boost your system.

Really,it's not so hygienic sharing most things. We humans are vectors to germs 95% of the time. Some germs are able to survive even on soap,be it antiseptic or not.
I agree. Was just crying humor out of it. And look you laughed ��

Armadaij:
I have been a silent reader (a member of the silent readers association of this group you'll say) since about 3 months ago. I took my time to skim through part 1, read part 2 into detail and I've been following part 3 so religiously.

Our Interview (I, Darling Wife & Son) went for our interview yesterday at 7:30AM and below is the transcript:


VO: Good morning

I and DWF: Good morning (together, smiling)

Me: Carried our son in a carrier. He had slept off while waiting on the queue for fingerprint capture having gone through the preliminary clearance

VO: Passports please

Me: Gave him.

VO: why are you going to the US?

Me: We are going to Houston Texas for family vacation and to visit my brother who tried to attend our wedding in October 2015 but couldn't make it due to his intense work schedule at the firm he was working with at the time. We have also been wanting to take the vacation and visit on his request since then but our work schedule and our inability to synchronise our leave wouldn't allow us

VO : (cuts in) how long are u going for?

Me: 14days.

VO: What do you do? (That was the VO's undoing....)

Me: I'm the Head of IT for blablabla managing the entire IT enterprise infrastructure across blablabla (mentioned all the regions my company covers) ......I oversee. ...bla bla bla (until the VO stopped me).....sincerely, I needed a stopping.

VO: How much is your salary? (Gbam!...another land mine just triggered by VO)

Me: I earn approximately blablabla, exclusive of revenue generated from the annual rentals of my real estate and also incomes from private IT consultancy to SME's
All the while, DWF was smiling and looking straight into the VO's eyes.

VO : Madam, what do you do?

DWF: I'm an assistant manager, sales in an IT sales and solutions company, blablabla....... I build and maintain close relationship btw blablabla... and her customers in particular sectors like blablabla and blablabla, till VO stopped her.

VO: (to me), tell me about IT Infrastructure. ....(inadvertently unleashed the dragon) that was how I went on a roll.....when I join blablabla....there was nothing like structure as the entire network was on a WORKGROUP, So I commenced the design of a full fledge domain infrastructure, implemented on blablabla Server blablabla R2 Datacenter Edition mounted on blablabla Server Machine and hosting over 7 VMs representing core services delivered on the infrastructure....... VO couldn't help but smile through my long epistle until and had to stop me after a while.

VO: How long have you worked for?

Me: I'll be 7 years by February ending

VO: you madam (to DWF)

DWF: I'll be 7 by April ending

VO: Have you travelled before ?

Me and DWF at the same time: Yes.

VO: Flips through my passport rapidly

Me: Given my job role, I have travelled between Nigeria and Ghana multiple times...while at it, I noticed he was trying to check through DWF's passport and taking I initiative, I immediately said - - you may want to see this (passing DWF's old passport containing her trip to Ghana in 2011 to him)

VO: Flips through the passport, checking the entry and exit stamps seems to be amused about the Bank's stamp of the $ amount of PTA purchased for the trip at the time, smiles and returned it to me.

VO: Do you have any other child or children?

DWF and I : No, he's only 8 months, DWF added.

VO: Went back to his computer and started typing away as if he was on a hacking adventure......and the typing continued like it was going to be for eternity only for him to lift his head after about 2 minutes beaming with smile and the magic sentence spilled from his mouth......Your VISA has been approved! ("Gbam!!!" - not part of the sentence).

DFW just packed all we had resting on the platform and didn't wait to hear the rest.

My hand of its own accord outstretched to collect the white paper whilst I managed to mutter the words "Have a nice day and happy new year"

I practically floated on air out of the building.

Rushed to catch up with DFW and told her to keep a straight face because I wasn't ready to give shishi to no security. One even tried asking how it went, we just walked past completely hushed.


NB:

I was denied F1 back in July 2006 for not having enough tie and went ahead to study an almost identical course in the University here in Nigeria.

I have since been working after graduation.

Went to the embassy with, introductory letter from office, salary breakdown, statement of accounts - DWF's and mine, Properties documents, training and school certificates but not a single document was checked.

Elder brother is a citizen while younger sister (non-immigrant) is presently attending a University for Masters

I need to thank the brains behind this platform immensely for ensuring the sustainability of the platform and standing resolute in the face of all sorts of insults and castigation.

The advices that everyone brings to bare is unquantifiable and may the FORCE reward each and all accordingly.

I wish intending applicants and those reapplying good luck
Yeye boy. see you don run come here. hahahhhaa. I think i should officially report you to HR. Remember when server go dey down you dey busy dey read this thread for office grin grin grin grin evil child. Anyway i am really happy this paid off. phew. yet you find it HARD to respect me. Kilode.

People, when you ask questions and we say go and read from the start, it´s not to punish you. Its basically to make you have full understanding of how that very questions have been answered before.

Again take your time to read. there is no rush.

just apply yourself. prepare for the interview and hope for the best. No one can help you in the American Embassy.

MY OWN PORT OF ENTRY EXPERIENCE - Very Disappointing grin grin grin grin grin grin grin

PORT OF ENTRY - ATLANTA

EQUIPMENT - AIR FRANCE

DATE 30TH DECEMBER, 2017



So I left Nigeria through Abuja as I went to the village for funeral and Christmas. On getting to the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport with my brother, I passed my bags through the scan machine, collected them at the other end and proceeded to the Air France area. 1st lady stopped me and weighed my bags and wrote the weights on the bags, then wished me a safe flight. There was a guy sitting right before the check in area who requested for my passport, flipped through and asked where I was going and I responded Atlanta. ¨Boss wetin dey for me. Drop me something na¨. I did not respond. He put a security sticker on my passport and asked me to go to check in.

Checked in my bags and collected my boarding pass with customs declaration paper where i was asked to declare how much I was carrying. I did. It was time for me to proceed to the waiting area upstairs and as i was going, i was asked by a customs guy to return the declaration paper. He looked through and started looking at me like kilode. I was just looking like I didn´t even know what was going on. Then he said oga find us something. you dey run leave us for Nigeria for this new year. I said I didnt have Naira, he said buy you fit give us from the dollars. I just ignored and said if you are done please i would like to go upstairs. He said ok and handed me the passport.

We left at 11:20 pm and arrived Paris CDG airport at 5:50am. I Had 8 hours wait for I moved to Immigration and got stamped into Paris. (I have a valid Schengen Visa). came back to the airport and went to wait for clearance. 2 men asked everyone same questions,

1. Are you travelling for business or pleasure.
2. Did you pack your bags yourself.
have a nice flight
.

Oh the food on the plane from Paris to Atlanta was BAD. Couldn´t swallow it.





FINALLY WE GOT TO ATLANTA


Upon arrival, we were directed to the machines to scan our visas, and get a print out. Did mine and moved to go wait in line. It was less than 4 minutes. Finally it was my turn and the CBP beckoned at me to come.



Me: Hi
CBP: Hi. (reaching out for my passport and opens it) Do you have anything to declare?
Me: No
CBP: (stamps me in 6 months and handed my passport). Enjoy your stay





I was angry. why did you not ask me why i came, where i wil stay, what i do, if my belt fits, will i like the food here, its cold will i be ok.

I vex. I vex no be small.


anyway, the cold here no be joke sha. -11 degrees. Sun will be shinning like this but it´s not like Nija sun that can fry plantain. This sun is weak.







I went out to buy a sim card yesterday o, the guy says $40. I paid and he said they were doing a promo so I was entitled to a phone. Na the phone i dey use browse since o. A cute Samsung phone looking like an iPhone 7.

Hello House please i need your advice, i do have a valid US visa but my family does not. Planning on going on a family vacation next year Easter. will i need to appear with my wife and 2 kids or just let her appear at the embassy with kids possibly with my own passport .

Also I just came back from the US on an 11 days trip, purpose was to attend a conference. will like to ask how soon can I apply for the family in regards our family visit next year easter.

Awaits your kind response.
Thanks
You can go back as long as the reason for you trip is not being abused. Meaning even if you are stamped in for 6 months don't go staying for two months. I'm assuming you have a job to go back to.

2. You don't have to go with them if you are busy . You can give a photocopy of your valid visa or your passport to your wife to take to the interview. (I would give my passport as against the photocopy).





Final note:

Don't encourage anyone to overstay their visa or stay as an illegal immigrant in any country including America

abujaniv:
Hello all. This is a general public service announcement. We've been seeing an uptick in counterfeit visas and stamps in applicants' passports. These people have been fooled into thinking that these false endorsements will help them get a US visa. If you come into the US Embassy/Consulate with fake visas/stamps, the best case scenario is that you will be denied. If we decide to pursue the matter, we will contact the local police, and you will be arrested, while your passport is forfeited to the Nigerian Immigration Service. To be sure, your credibility will be trashed, and you will find it nearly impossible to ever qualify for a US visa for the rest of your life.

This should be common sense, but please tell your friends and family so that they do not fall prey to agents and touts wanting to enrich themselves by selling fake documents.
By the time you make an example with just 2 or 3 persons, trust me this whole madness and agents will stop forever.

Thanks. In a situation where I am going to hustle, and am asked why I came to the US, what do I tell them. Also, what do I reply, if the question of how long will you be staying arises?

Tell them you have visited to hustle and the situation in your country is bad.


Tell them how much you earn in Nigeria and how much you could earn in America.


If they ask you how long you are staying, you could say 2 years but if they think 2 years is too much, negotiate for 1 and half. Stand your ground. They like when you are bold and confident and can clearly state what you want.



If you have further questions, do not hesitate to ask. We are happy to help bro
