Promise61:
I did my biometrics on the 8th of September I’m yet to get any email from ukvi or vfs I’m scared don’t know if any one is having the same problem.

Taal17:
I dont govt agency would have you bank statement.
Bit ask agency to provide a letter stating thst the are sponsoring (include, flights accommodation etc) the purpose of the trip and that you are their staff.
I know giive agencies usually give you the funds upfront so usually might want to add that into your section on additional information.e.g I get xxcc stipend for accommodation and yyyyyy for flight and ground transportation.

If it's in naira you can highlight that part in your bank statement

Nope my last trip was my second time
First trip was in 2022
Second was last year 2023, had an extended time off work last year, so stayed 4 months… deep down I know that’s why I’m been called up for follow up interview,

Do I need to wait for for Dhl to deliver my passport ?
I didn’t get a mail just got the info on the portal, this friday is free for the interview

iyanuakin:
Hi, sorry to ask what’s 221g and also what do you think was the reason for the first refusal?
And you went back to abj for the interview?

franberry:

Onegai:
Please we need information on Nigerian visa on arrival
or an emergency travel card for baby. We asked an immigration officer and all he replied was to tell us to pay him N265,000 to process visa on arrival and he refused to answer any further questions.

Ehimeomo:
Hello house! Good evening! Please, I will like to know the procedure for US passport renewal for my almost 5yr old & docs needed. Please, ur suggestion is greatly needed. Thanks

YETI28:
Good evening. Yeah the person you called is correct. Its actually NPC birth I used.

DubbieLala:
Hi, I’m wondering if you have gotten any information on this since you posted because I’m also looking for a birth hospital in San Francisco Bay Area in California which is close to where I’ll be staying. Please share with me just incase you have any new information, I’ll do the same as well. Thanks.

princessademide:
I need help with a list of universities with application fee waiver and also waive English proficiency exams for Nigeria

Chegzyco:
God bless you. Please what is the best thing to put for the reason I was denied, since the embassy don’t tell the reason for the refusal? I was denied 3 times before I found my way down to Europe. Please kindly help

Chegzyco:
Good day to my bosses,
Please, I applied for USA study visa in Nigeria which I was denied, I later process another country in Europe to study which am done with the study now. But I want to proceed my education in USA. I want to apply for USA study visa from Europe, my question now is; in my DS160, do I need to state that I have been denied before or it doesn't need since am applying from another country?

Someone told me my Nigeria record won't count if I want to apply from Europe. Please how true is that?

belle16:
Good evening Nairalanders, hope you're all having a lovely weekend.

Please I am trying to renew my visa and need help me with these questions:

1. In the application form, what is meant by 'locations you plan to visit in the US?' Is it a reference to tourist sites or cities within the US?

2. Will it impact my application in any way, if I arrive in one state (e.g Washington) and depart from another (e.g California)? I need to know how best to respond to the question about arrival and departure City and this will also help me plan my movement within the US.

Thank you all so much

GAPPLE:
Please house, who is chanced to help my partner and I vet our DS 160 form?
It'd really mean so much to us.

We are going as F1 and F2.

Thanks in anticipation of your responses.

[/color] *Good morning dear all, please kindly spare some time to help review this, my interview is next week.*��

First Interview (December 1, 2021 – surge date)
Lagos
Both F1 & F2
Full funding (61k plus) covers for both of us (58k plus) with excess (3k plus)
N.B: There was massive denial. More than 12 people before us were denied

*F1 & F2:* Good morning ma. Happy New Month (She probably didn’t hear this).
*V.O:* Good morning. Pass your documents (we did). Which of you is the student? I pointed to my husband. V.O turns to him. Why are you going to the U.S.
*F1:* To have my M.Sc in Engineering Education at University of Georgia.
*V.O:* How did you get this funding?
*F1:* I got it through my excellent performance in the series of rigorous selection process that included evaluation of my SOP, CV, my academic profile as well as series of interviews with the school’s faculty members.
*V.O:* What’s your plan after studies?
*F1:* I will be coming back to Nigeria to take up the role of the Regional Head of Dept. in my place of work. I also have a pending project with GLOBACOM which I will be back to implement and complete. On the long term I intend to set up my own Engineering Educational Institute in my locality here in Nigeria.
*V.O:* Where do you work?
*F1:* Nigerian Tulip Int’l College where I teach Science subjects to senior secondary students.
[V.O keeps typing but not concentrating on what she was typing, she kept looking at me with some kind of surprise in her face- maybe due to my small stature and baby face, she wasn’t just seeing a married woman]
She turns to me (F2)
*V.O:* Are you his wife?
*F2:* Yes
*V.O:* For how long have you been married?
*F2:* 6 months. We got married this year on the 2nd of June.
*V.O:* How long have you been in a relationship
*F2:* [Didn’t know what to answer. Should I say 2012, because we’ve been friends since then, but we just got engaged that same year, January. We do short courtship in our church….]
*F1 comes to the rescue:* 2012
*V.O:* So, why are you just getting married this year?
*F1:* I just got a good job last year and started plans on my marriage.
*V.O:* How much is your monthly pay? [F1 says the pay] Do you have any evidence of your relationship before marriage?
*F1 & F2:* Not here. We only brought our wedding pictures.
*V.O:* I don’t need that (she said it twice). Do you have any proof of your marriage apart from the pictures?
*F2:* Yes. Brings out marriage Certificate and gives to her.
*V.O:* Do you understand that if this document is found false, you will be prosecuted, do you want to take that risk? Do you really?
*F2:* [In my mind, I’m like, e gba mi ke? I was a bit turned off] It’s not false we’re truly married
*V.O:* Where do you work?
*F2:* I volunteer at spot-on…. (V.O cuts in)
*V.O:* Why is that? Why is that? [I guess because she saw Masters in Public Health as my Highest Degree]
[So, I just didn’t know what to say again, I was fed up]
Then, she gave my husband the white paper. As she picked the blue paper, the tongues I was jejely speaking inside me just leaked out through my lips.
She looked at me and said, do you know I’m hearing you? (I said, Oh, I’m sorry about that)
She gave me the blue paper and told me to re-apply.

[N.B: We filled our DS-160 by ourselves and all info I gave about my marriage, relationship, work, everything is 100% true and corresponds with DS-160]

Another thing worthy of note is that I was busy preparing for my husband’s interview all along (his busy schedule didn’t allow him time to prepare. So, I did all the preparation for him and tutored him on strategies to answer all the questions).
I also did a little preparation for myself, but I never expected that kind of rigorous drilling for an F2.

But I hope to do better in my next interview (next week)��[color=#990000]
