Egomah: While filling your form, did they ask you for marriage certificate since you just got married?
Congratulation man

No i wasn't asked. Infact, i noticed they weren't asking for documents.

Hello Everyone,

It was nice to be part of this great forum. My B1/B2 visa was approved today. I am so grateful to God and to everyone that contribute to this thread. @tzetzefly is an amazing guy. At a point i felt he works at the embassy...lol. The questions from the VO was all centered around my friend that invited me and also about my job. The big white guy at window 9 didn't grant visa to anyone throughout the entire 1hr:20mins i spent at the embassy.

Interview Venue: Lagos.
Interview Time: 8:30am(But got to my turn like 10am)

VO: Good moring Mr Bleep (With a smile)
Me: Good moring sir.
Vo: I can see you are going to houston, Texas. why?
Me: I am going to spend my annual leave with my friend since i couldn't make it to his wedding last year due to my busy schedule.
Vo: what is your friends name?
Me: His name is blah blah
Vo: How long have you been friends?
Me: Since i was a kid. We are childhood friends.
Vo: So Are u married?
Me: I am married.
Vo: I can see u are going alone, why isn't ur wife going with u?
Me: She just a new job and she isn't entitled to a leave yet.
Vo: When did you marry?
Me: 3 months ago (June)
Vo: Any kids?
Me: Not yet.
Vo: So tell me about your job, u sounded like a busy person (That was a green light for me. lol)
Me: I am a System Administrator for XYZ Company.
Vo: What is your job role?
Me: A,B,C,D...........
VO: What is the staff strenght of your office?
Me: 200 in Nigeria.
Vo: So u've got other branches?
Me: We are located in 11 countries.
Vo: Great (Another green light for me....)So tell me what your friend does and where he works?
Me: blah blah
Vo: How old is your friend? (I knw i am a year older than my friend but at that point the issue was that i forgot my own age for some seconds b4 i later did my calculations.....lol)
Me: He is XX years old.

The white guy smiled at me and said " Congratulations, your visa has been approved, you can pick up your visa on.........."

Its all God because i really can't xplain. There are people that have more genuin reasons for going to the US but yet got denied. Imagine, a wife of a VC of a University was denied, a sick laddy limping was denied.

NB: Pls maintain eye contact, be confident answer questions without .........."ehm", "ehn".....Above all, Pray to God for favour. Thanks T

God bless you all.

Please what can i do as my interview is tomorrow morning.

Attached is the screenshot of the error message.

tzetzefly: Fill up another DS-160 and for an expedited action on another interview appointment slots, contact a customer care representative on this helpline:

+23414406297

Hello tzetzefly,
Are you saying after filling my ds-160 form, i can't maintain my initial appointment date? pls my interview is this week........ There should be a way i can fill another form and it will be tied to the existing appointment date. How can this be done?

Tzetzefly,

I just noticed a made a mistake on my ds-160 form and my interview is next week. I know its not possible to edit a submitted ds-160 form. Can i fill a new form and will i have to make another payment or reschedule another date for my interview? Thanks.

tzetzefly: Other COs could see things differently if you travel alone.

.........though my wife has a valid US visa which she got while in the Uk but she can't travel with me right now because she just got a new job and she's not yet entitled for a leave.

tzetzefly: Your home tie and the knowledge about your friend will count toward your visa success.

Thanks for ur reply. I think the fact that my wife is here and i av a good job with a good pay is enough tie. As for my friend, i know him very well.

Hello tzetzefly,

My interview is next week and i will like to know my chances of getting a visa. I am going to houston to visit my best friend for a period of 14 days. I couldn't make it to his wedding due to my busy schedule at work. But right now, i am on leave. I am married but intend going alone, i have a good job. Pls what are my chances of securing a visa.

Bigbenson: @ lawrence bro pls how can I apply online. Also I have been searching online for a cheap conference in canada and couldn't get any. A guy told me about nigara fall conference and I searched for it seriously but couldn't find any cheap one. Pls can any one here teach me how to get cheap conference or events? Maybe there is a site to get cheap ones. I even try conferencealerts.com and still couldn't find cheap one. My budget is a conference from $10 -$40. Hope any one can also help me search am ready to give out free recharge card as a thank you gift pls

Hello, It depends on which field you belong. I am into IT(network security) and http://www.itechconference.ca isnt a bad one. Its free but goes for $50 if u apply after May. Registration starts February.

prof-emeritus:
Please, I need some piece of advice from Nairalanders who have traveled to or live in Canada. My younger brother will be proceeding to Canada by March base on conference invitation permit for 3 month visa. We need some advice on how to secure an apartment, extend his stay and if possible can he get a stay in Canada,also can he get a work within that period? . I mean, how does house rent cost i Canada? Is house rent paid monthly? What is it like to live, work in Canada. Thanks.

Hi Prof,

Pls what documents did ur brother take to the embassy? did he apply online or paper route? how long did it take b4 he got his visa? where in canada and what field is his conference?

Hi guys....... Just watched this on youtube. The canadian govt "might" allow international students to work right from their arrival in Canada as from January 2014. This was said by the lawyer of the Nigerian girls facing deportation from Canada. Here is the link.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUrj1J25u1g

hayek: If I may ask, is your advice based on experience or just a mere opinion. There are many students whose family are here while still being a student. Unfortunately, they are not Nigerians but what to hear from Nigerians who have experienced this and what documentations that would be required.

I hope this will be informative.............. http://www.cicnews.com/2013/09/working-studying-canada-options-students-092913.html
