Congratulations in advance. It's better to take it there yourself to avoid stories that touch. You can as well go to a branch of your bank and get it done today. No need for cover letter and when its issued, the status will change to issued on ceac

thank you @groovychik, please what do you mean by ceac...and how do i check the status?

Since joining this thread for almost a decade with different Usernames, i can finally share a transcript today.
I had my interview this morning at US consulate in Lagos for 6:45am appointment.
After the normal check-ins and all, i was the first person to be interviewed by the guy in cubicle 3.
First thing i noticed on his table was a heap of blue sheet - no single white paper at sight, my confidence flew away and i was saying to myself "shey this guy no plan to give anybody visa today?"
Trancript below

Vo - Pass me your passport (the guy appear like person wey no won work, e no even greet me)
Me - I passed it to him
Vo - Why are you going to the US?
Me - To attend an international conference on digital health
Vo - What is digital health?
Me - I told him(upon all my preparation i no prepare for this question, so i stuttered at the start but later gathered momentum)
Vo- What do you plan to gain from this conference?
Me - I told him (but i spoke more on my poster...mentioned the importance to me as an Epidemiologist )
Vo - But i thought you are a Veterinarian (he saw that on my Ds160 i suppose)
Me - Yes am a Veterinary Epidemiologist
Vo - How long have you been working?
Me- I answered
Vo - Are you married?
Me - Yes
Vo - You have kids?
Me- Yes, 2
Vo - Who is sponsoring this trip?
Me - Myself
Vo- Do you have your Account statement there?
Me - sighed, i do not have it with me here (i no carry my statement cuz of some things i read here that it is so impt...infact, the only document i took along with me aside appointment and Ds160 confirmation was the Invitation Letter for the conference, Marriage and my Kid's birth certificate)

Na so he put hand for up on the shelf, and brought a white paper, wrote my name on it, circled an address and wrote Bank statement on the 5 o'clock corner of the paper.
He handed out the paper to me and told me to send my Bank statement to the circled address, and my passport.

To my questions:
1. For people that have had experiences close to mine...i stay outside lagos, can i courier the statement of account and passport to the GSS Document collection Center address circled...or i must take it there myself physically?

2. Do i need to attach any cover-letter while dispatching the docs.

3. How do i know when my Visa has been approved and affixed to my passport?

Politics / Re: Osun 2018 Governorship Election Results From Polling Units & Wards (unofficial) by drwrites: 3:18am On Sep 23, 2018
I can’t imagine PDP has forgotten they play this game so fast, you don’t release your strong-hold LGAs results early. That will make it easier for APC to present numbers that will be obviously more than the gap PDP is enjoying in the interim.
Tinubu orchestrated this same tactic between Akala and and Ajimobi in OYO state in 2015. PDP released Ogbomoso south and north early...while Ibadan southwest and east were the last to be presented. And the figures were alarming - overinflated...although that from ogbomoso too was inflated.
As it is, releasing Ede north n south is just too early...by the time Osogbo, Olorunda et al come in, we shall all be shocked at figure. Congrats to APC in advance...buh Osun pple Dey always surprise me sha, shey the Osun civil servants don forget the hunger seasons so fast ni?

Family / Re: I Want To Expose My Wife And Her Colleague In A Bank, They Are Having Affair by drwrites: 2:58pm On Aug 19, 2018
See man, this might sound stupid but it might save you a lot of stress.

In a case like this, all you have to do is to embarrass your wife in the best civic way...all you need do is to report and show those raunchy chat messages and all to her parents, your parents, your pastor or imam, lastly if you ve got the will, go report both of em to her boss or direct supervisor(showing him/her those msgs)

I bet you, it will kill whatever they have got going on, n would have saved ur home for ur kids.

This is a disease, don’t cover it up, cuz it will kill u if u did.

Hello guys, please i need help with my situation and i feel i can get informed piece(s) of advice from here.

I applied to a couple of schools in the US and a school in South Africa to study MPH last year. This year january i was given admission to the school in South Africa to study MSc Epidemiology, but not MPH because it is offered as a part-time programme in the school. So i enrolled for it because i thought a bird at hand is better than none.

I have just been offered admission to my choice school in the US to study MPH(my choice program) for this fall, but my dilemma now is, can i appear for F1 visa interview here in South-Africa or i must return to Nigeria for the interview? And will the fact that i have a valid study visa for a masters program on my passport affect my chance?

Please your informed but candid advice is needed...thank you all for the brotherly care on here.

Gurus in the house, please i need your help with this...it is a big decision i need to make here. Please i need ur advice.

aadeyi:


Well you can actually go for your visa interview anywhere provided you are a resident of that country, but my best advise for you is to jejely come back to Nigeria for your interview.

I believe the reason you stated above about your desire to study MPH and a little other reason to support your claim will be enough. And most importantly be confident with yourself.

Thank you aadeyi but i will still like to seek opinions of others
