External links like govt websites or embassies does not need traffics to survive but forums, blogs, agencies that rely on money coming in from ads do and its wrong to divert traffic from here to such websites.

justwise:
Through email?

justwise:
Its not about what the group offers, its about diverting traffic to that website.

Thank GOD for his faithfulness and mercy
I was scheduled for 6:30am, 10th November, 2014 (today) at the Consulate general office in Lagos.
I arrived early enough, around 5:22am. We went through the normal security checks and were ushered in before 7 o'clock. While on queue, I met a man that's been in the US for 15 years, we got talking and I saw he's no ordinary man . We exchange cards and he gave me his US number. Please, be genial and amiable always. Don't undermine anybody you meet.

Me: Thanks

I stepped out with a wide grin greeting every security personnel I met on the way.

NB: No document was asked, not even my bank statement, payslips, test score sheets nor scholarship letter.

Thanks to everybody that has assisted me one way or the other since I joined this thread in 2012. Special thanks go to my good friends (more than just friends); Bigfrancis and Ashigolo. Also, God bless Imperioux, MsNas, Babsharon, Walspring, Slimmy, Fadinus (my bloodar), Zeezahbee, Yvete et al. The list is endless. GOD bless you all.

Key is; Pray, fast, prepare early, don't be intimidated by denials you see for people before you. Denial is never for you.

terefe:
Bro...we all aim at different things in life, if what u want is down a hole , u go in and get it, i didnt get a sudan visa for nothing so i wouldnt consider it useless to me.. and its not a move i regret making.... I was aware but im not the kind of guy to let a tag on a country deprive me of things i would most likely benefit from ...dat aside..i was just considering d best option for my next move, i'm assuming dey have some unspoken of policy against ppl who have been in their enemies lands.. Bt its all good

noperson:
Why do pple lie without doing proper research? If you have really ever applied for the US visa, you will know that it is your application confirmation page info that you book the interview with. So what's with the lie that you filled the visa form 20mins before your interview or your mum filled hers the morning of the interview, so how did you book for the interview in the first place

And this goes to those that allow touts at the embassy entrance to cajole you into refilling your forms at the premises before entering the embassy is waste of money and time. The reason your name is on the check-in list is because all previous applications and interviewees for that date has been processed with your application information and list printed. So you refilling your application prior to entering the embassy does not alter or update the previous information you had submitted

justwise:
...and you will not see them in visa queues or interview boxes.

Not always, some countries allow visa free entry to diplomatic passport holders.

Even when they do you will never see them queuing for visa or attending visa interview because somebody in the ministry will deal with all that.

SSS do not carry red passport while on official foreign trip ?

justwise:
Please stop lying, those traveling with GEJs will be holding red passports, they don't need visa,

Those who do will not be queuing for visa at US embassy, its express with note verbale

annabee:

Boss13:
Yes they do background checks I can confirm that. They check your financial status (Embassy Enquiries) and confirm it with financial institutions. For people who cook up financial details or especially when the account do not belong to you. Just don't waste your time, you would be denied.

Got to the embassy @ 6:30am, got screened and I saw an underG boy without experience. I began to interview him. He failed my questions and I wasn't too happy with him.
A black lady in window 1 denied all the 5 persons that went to her plus the guy I interviewed myself.
It was my turn to go to her and I said loudly that the guy beside me heard that, God, let the spirit of denial melt when I get to her. Who says God doesn't answer prayers? Check the interview below;
