They will adjust it at their own pace ,the same way Nigerian did it’s own at her pace too 4gunners: But Nigeria government have reduced cost of the visa fees. So, the reason for the reciprocity fee does not stand anymore. 2 Likes |

No one is milking anyone..they have negotiated with Nigerian govt several times to reduce the cost of visa from Americans coming to Nigeria..the Nigeria govt didn’t do anything ,so they decided to up theirs too hence the name “reciprocity fee” freshStarz:
Hmm, is this a new thing. Not heard of it before
That's like 105 dollars or so. These ppl are really milking us in our country 1 Like |

Is it the same William Uchemba youth conference? Attraction: I promised myself I will share my experience no matter what. This morning 7.30am lots of people were denied. I could only see a man in his 70's that got the visa. They were just dishing out pink papers anyhow���.
Vo: Good morning, your passport pls Me: Good morning, I gave him
VO: so why are you going to New York Me: I'm going for the Youth Assembly Conference and after that some sight seeing.
VO: Looking at his system( have you travelled with your old passport) Me: Yes
VO: Let me have it Me: I gave him ( I have also been to Dubai with my new passport but he didn't open it, my old passport Indonesia and Dubai also)
VO: Mr ...., I'm sorry but your application does not qualify you for a US visa at this time Me: Thank you, collects my pink paper.
No question about the conference or organizers or my job or income and I was loaded chaii���
I will travel more and strengthen ties, also get married if I find love. Mehn I only wanted to go for the Youth Assembly Conference and come back. Having my banking job , but like you people said, looks like USembassy hates bankers now especially when you ain't in managerial level. Chaii it's well���

Wait ,you have another baby now..I remember you in 2016 on the USA travel thread..congrats Chanbaby: BS. very long post Alert!!!! Got pregnant when I wasn't expecting and didn't know until 2months after cos I didn't have morning sickness. Was very upset with dh as if he raped me. went to my Dr and she said i should see it as God's blessings cos with the kind of irregular cycle (50- 120days) i have its usually difficult to conceive. After then i started thanking God. Fast forward to 32weeks, I went for my first Drs appointment in the US . my urine sample was taken and the sonographer did scan and said she wasn't going to say anything to me that my Dr will explain to me after, I became curious and i saw she wrote polyhydramnios(too much amniotic fluid). Then my Dr came and said he is very worried about me, that the sugar in my urine is too much and my amniotic fluid is too much (26cm). He then said i needed to come in the next day for my glucose test. I told him I drank plenty orange juice and ate 4slices of bread b4 coming so that would have influenced the result. i tried to reschedule to my next appointment he said i met to have done this test 2months ago in Najia so I'm already late. i went home that day and started drink lemon infused water to reduce the sugar level . The result came out normal and after weeks of monitoring the amniotic fluid level it miraculously dropped to normal. it was my shiloh request.
My edd was 20th/24th of Dec, I was seriously expecting baby to come earlier since it wasn't my first. both dates passed i became uneasy. was taking long walks, climb stair case, doing exercises, ate 4 whole pineapple and drank raspberry leaf tea still no show instead Braxton Hicks became stronger. At 38weeks VE was done i was 1cm dilated i had hopes cos I started loosing mucus plug but without blood stain, at 39weeks 1 and half cm and membrane sweep was done. i began to get upset . I will cry and lament when dh calls that why is God doing me like this dh just kept encouraging me and praying for God to help me. After the membrane sweep i was expectant still no show. went for 40weeks appointment still 1cm dilated and another membrane sweep was done. The Dr decided to induce me on the 31st of Dec but I got a call from them saying Induction will take place on the 3rd jan oh I was broken pelvic pain, pressure from baby I could barely walk. At 41weeks i went for another appointment and i was checked and it was 3cm. Dr did another membrane sweep this time it was so painful coupled with the pains around my pelvic. Dr said i want u to do it naturally I don't want to induce u. with that statement i cried to dh that even the Dr knows how painful induction can be. it was then my dh said don't worry u will use Epidural in a worse case scenario. the igbo in me did the conversion of the dollar cost to naira and decided to do without it. oh God bless @Giddyperson she was a good birth partner, we kept encouraging ourselves all the way.
On the 2nd i read a post on instagram from a friend that said she didn't focus on her Edd but on Gdd (God's delivery date) she had her baby on the 3rd of January 2018 and her Edd was 28th Dec. My spirit just said this is the date. I was given an antiseptic liquid to bath with 2days b4 the induction all in preparation for the induction , the paper work and questions scared me more(oyibo fit kill person all in the Name of preparing u).
The D-day came i went in for the induction the nurses started guessing and jesting how dilated I was. I was checked and it was 3cm and half. Enema was done to remove poop from my intestine. pitocin drip was administered at 11: 40am and i started feeling tightening in my stomach. she said its not contraction that when i started having contractions i won't be on that bed again she checked and asked if i was having pain I said no. she said she can see the contractions are 10-12mins apart and are pretty regular . After 2hrs she checked and i was 5cm she asked if i wanted Epidural i said no that I can't feel pain. By then the contractions were no 5-7mins apart. Asked of my Dr and they said he is on vacation but his assistant is around. She came in shortly and inserted something and broke my water. Then i started feeling normal menstrual cramps but bearable i just put my mantle on my stomach and was declaring cervix dilate and baby move down now in Jesus. After 2hrs I was checked and they said 7 -8cm and i can no longer take the epidural i was happy I saved that money . The contraction started coming back to back. They went and brought labor ball that I should come sit on it and roll my waist on it to help dilation. i did it for 2mins and went back to my bed cos I could manage the pain better there. Next thing i started feeling the urge to push. i started screaming call my Dr. they said my Dr was sitting outside waiting for everything to be ready. Then an older nurse came in obviously more experienced she checked and said 9cm and half and asked me to lay on my left side. i was still resisting when my friend in the labor room with me gave me eye and said i should cooperate with her that she seems very experienced. I just did and i started feeling my baby . Dr came in and i was asked to push i just pushed forceful twice screaming Jesus and baby came out at 8:54pm. i saw them giving her surgical blade but didn't know when she gave me a cut cos of the labor pain. They took the baby weighed him,the nurses and my friend screamed 10pounds 5ounces and i was like what is that in kg they said 4.6kg. my Drs eyes changed like she won't have allowed vaginal delivery if they knew. The placenta was delivered immediately and the stitching started not so painful though but took awhile. i started shivering uncontrollably other parts of my body was covered except my legs to enable her finish the stitching i started getting impatient cos of the cold and she said she is almost done that I had a 2nd degree tear. Another pitocin drip was administered for like 3hrs contractions continued but not as painful . i asked why they said to contract the uterus back since my baby was very big. Then the devil wanted to show it ugly sef I felt blood pumping out of my system.i called the nurse she checked but wasn't sure if it was normal she called my Dr and she asked me to hold the 2sides of the bed and she pressed my stomach it was so painful that I grabbed her hands and she was like it's for ur own good so u have to bear unless u want to bleed to death. i said i will not bleed to death. my friend just said think of ur boys and bear. The pressing continued and i was told the pressing will be done every 15minutes. An injection was given i asked for what they said its is like a re-reinforcement for the pitocin . Omo the contraction increased so as to push out the blood so it doesn't gather in my uterus and help the uterus contract back. The stomach pressing time then reduce to every 30mins when they were sure I wasn't bleeding. i was finally moved to postpartum ward at 1am with the pitocin drip. I was given iron supplement and painkiller. It was quite and experience. But above all I thank God of Oyedepo cos He was there. Music helped me manage the contraction. i kept listening to Onise Iyanu by Nathaniel bassey (anointed musician) that has always been my labor room song. He has always showed me so much mercy . Signing out till 2022- 2023.
Be submitted Holla. Gracias 1 Like 1 Share |

So right,when people hear bankers they automatically assume it’s those front desk guys,customer care and marketers.there are bankers and there are bankers abnot:
Lol I worked in a bank 2017/early 2018 and in the department people went to USA and returned very often for vacations, short courses and professional training. I also applied a B visa and was issued with no difficulties. There are different kind of people that work in the bank and the VO's tend to ask bout your day to day task . A highly skilled banker is not likely to cross the border to seek asylum in Canada. A cashier in the bank is more likely to do that |

Pls come clean in your next application,it worked for a friend of mine ..she was in exact situation like you..agent lied that she had a son and was married to a military..the next application she came clean “there is a part on the visa form where they ask questions like “have you misrepresented before etc..I think that is where you tick the truth..best wishes teatealayour: Good evening guys please I would like to know what my chances are in applying for a US visit Visa. An agent applied for me in 2016 and it was writing on my ds-160 form that I was married with a child after quarrelling the agent he said he had to do it that way to show that I have family that I'm coming back to and that they don't grant visit visa to singles and unfortunately for me I was denied. Now to the questions been asked by the VO VO: Have you traveled out of the country before? Me: No VO: Are you pregnant? Me: No VO:Do you have any child or children? Me I have a son(due to what was in my Ds160 ) VO:You are going to Ohio Me: Yes VO: who are you going to see?and why Me: My Uncle, to celebrate his fortieth birthday with the family VO: Do you have any other relative in the US apart from your uncle Me: No VO: sorry your application can not be granted at the moment but you can reapply whenever you choose to .
Then I didn't know that I was suppose to ask for the reason for my refusal but on the paper I was given she said I did not demostrate a strong tie to my home country. Now to my major issue in my next application do I use the previous false information or I should use my correct information and made them know at the embassy during my interview that the agent I used before guffed in my application.

I think there is a part on the visa form that asked you question about misrepresenting or "lieing"in previous application..you should come clean when answering those questions..it helps..I know someone who came clean and was given the visa on that note..also explain everything to your wife..no big deal ..she's.

Like seriously, do you not have any iota of shame or a contrite spirit?
I have done some stupid and crazy stuff to my fellow beings but what I never do after restitution is go back to ask for the same thing that destroyed my integrity.
You are one of those who destroyed immigration chances for genuine couples when Nigeria was still eligible for visa lottery.
Bottom line
Proverbs 1:31
"Therefore they shall eat the fruit of their own way, and have their fill of their own devices"
I pray you never set foot on this soil. Neither will you have family members that will apply to knock that misrepresentation off your record.
