Search yourself well sir.... If you know the number of persons I interact with currently per different Embassies matters and what my unit and job description is like, I may then not be hurting you. The high and mighty also gets refused, yes, mostly because of their "over-sabi" and underrating of these Embassies. If you genuinely have the right ties and follow the application process judiciously, you will hardly get turned down barring any coded "scraw-scraw" however!

I honestly don't understand why your choice of word would be the bolded?! Or reason for this 'cypher'. My transcript was well detailed; if you'd like to indulge me, I would make out time to personally consult with you to evaluate my position. Patiently waiting your positive response.

Which is normal because of a lot of bad economy decision made by this Govt and insecurity in the country.

I'm in unison with that but i think the U.S consulate can do better with filtering people without cogent reason to jet into their country. It's distasteful that I have to trash a whole year work of data analytics and research just in preparation for this.

What I know for sure is that this has been going on since the late 90's, it's not new at all, the only thing that reduced it was 911, it affected a lot of U.S domestic and foreign policy, but a lot of Nigerians were denied in the 90's and early 2000's

Well...That number just went up like inflation.

Dem no dey vex nothing! The persons you are talking of weren't qualified, simple. People are still getting that visa wella, but I repeat, these are mostly people intent on only going to the US according to purpose and returning in one piece to their lives in Nigeria. The VOs in fact in my opinion got better, please!

I don't know why you give this VOs too much props...well, I guess it's just props but @mroyato is right with the observation cos as it is right now, if you're single and (or) without travel history on the B1/B2 visa application, you will be bounced. Don't waste your money. Doesn't matter if your intent are genuine or not; I know this cos I was there today with my colleague. We applied for the same visa, tho she's married but y'all know how a young man like to have his things together before settling cos he wants his kids have a better life than he'll ever have. The following background details is why @mroyatoy is right.

My company, a fully licensed IMTO in the U.S and Nigeria was to send two of us (all expenses) paid to the biggest International Money Transfer and Payment Conference in the US, Whole idea is to network and meet new partners to expand our services and demography. Let me reiterate that I'd been denied visa one time for the 2007dv lottery which I stated on my application, after which I got my degree and comfortably earning a high six figure with assurance of a secured job; so you know I'm not desperate for a US visa to settle for a meager $9/hr life. My colleague (female) married, with a travel history to Dubai & SA got approved tho; so No, you don't stand a chance if you don't have a strong home ties and travel history. Your fate has already been 100% decided if without home ties and T. History and 50% decided if you have the afformentioned.

You know you don't stand a chance when they cut you off between answering a question and asking just this 4 questions which are as follows:

1. Why are you going to the US?
4. What do you do for work?
2. Are you married?
3. Have you ever traveled out of Nigeria before?
