@eriokanmi

Thanks for the response and here is what I dropped. Thanks

AbigailUkaegbu:
Good afternoon all. Please do I need to go to the interview center with a hard copy of my passport photograph even after uploading it on the ds160 form while filling the application? If yes, how many? Thank you

geolan:
Seems nobody answers questions on here unlike the UK thread. I also dropped some questions yesterday and no reply. Sigh

Posa:
Good evening all. Please I plead for a way forward as I don’t know why this keeps popping. Once I ticked yes to “have you been refused a US Visa” and I explained that I was refused a US Visa, this error message keeps popping. I don’t know what else to do. Someone please help me out I beg.

Christalt:
Oh my goodness. I’m so very sorry about what you had to go through…… COVID really did a thing world over. I’m ecstatic you made it through and came out on top.
I couldn’t help but lol at the pet where you “prayed for forgiveness”. That couldn’t have been easy at all.

Thanks again for always coming through with your responses.
This process could be tiring at times, but I’m determined to follow it through till I get my visa.

Have a great one.

God bless!!

Most black French are from Francophone countries...so they have the lingo skills.

Not everyone has time or effort to learn a language. And when you have to work straightaway....



By taking a preparatory course in the lingo.

Same thing happens (In Italy for example, you get a year to learn Italian for undergrad course. Ditto Russia)





Racisim is everywhere...but it also depends on opportunites

Belgium has got more opportunities than Spain (economy stagnant for a while). Ditto china.

Germany does take in black immigrants (racisim exists there tho)...but I guess the issue again is language (more Africans would prefer to go to an English speaking country or French speaking country...and even Africans that learn an international language are more likely to learn English)>

Americans are very wise, UK is learning fast from them. Canada wants to do same but their so called skilled Immigration process is more of a scam that is aimed at collecting huge money from immigrants to run Canada.



This is what made Lagos state a huge success in Nigeria, and Tinubu is foolishly inspiring an ill-informed Yoruba youths of our time to destroy that welcoming ambience Lagos is known for and reason it was nicknamed a no man's land to positively describe how welcoming Lagos is to all people and culture without segregation. They should continue until they use their hands and destroy Lagos. People that refuse to learn from other people's history always end up on the wrong side of history.

nairalanda1:
Immigration too does not necessarily work....because immigrants.........assimilate. Maybe gen 1 has 2-4 children, and then generation 2 starts having one or no child like the natives.

There was a study done on one part of Spain....they took a lot of immigrants, population grew....then they checked back 25 years later, and ...guess what. Back to square 1. Immigrants assimilated.

Also, European countries may have low immigrants because...language. A skilled African immigrant is highly likely not going to go to Germany(they do go by the way)...because he or she has to learn GERMAN , and most African skilled immigrants speak English or French. Same issue with countries like Czechia, Hungary, etc.

SeriouslySense:
Thats odd, why are they crying, but it is the consequences of their lifestyle.

The no child ideology has infected many of them, some women just think its not okay to have children, and they can still take care of them, not like they are poor.

Thank you so so much for this insight. Very much appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to respond. I’d surely keep you updated as I progress.
It makes a lot of sense to me now. Lemme begin hunting for dates now.

I actually couldn’t t travel in 2020 (as planned) due to COVID.

Fabulozz:
As titled above. I made the worst mistake in my life impregnating my baby mama for the second time. She and her mother had given me so much trouble in the past. I don't even know what came out of me to start sleeping with her again. Boom she is pregnant and has refused to abort.

She want me to pay her brideprice or else she will tell my wife. If only I had control my manhood I would have not found myself in this terrible situation.

What should I do now mature advice please?

Christalt:
Good day.
I was finally able to have my passports picked today from dhl port harcourt.
Enclosed within twas the 221(g) form and circled was the part where I was told I don’t qualify for a waiver. And I have to book an appointment and come with my ds 160 form print out.

I’m wondering why I don’t qualify for a waiver tho. My visa expired august 2021. My last visit was in May 2021 aswell and I stayed for only 2 weeks.

Also, when I’m rescheduling, how do I fill in the “have you been denied before” box? Cos I’m thinking if I do that I may not be able to get a sudden date, cos I intend to get a new date asap, possibly this month.
Pls any advice would be much appreciated

Pls see attached the 221(g) form in my passport

Interview Transcript?

first of all, you need to know that there are no one cap fit all kind of question pattern, though they always seems to like applicant that have a tie to Nigeria that would make them come back. In my own case, i have been denied severally in the past, 4 times in a roll actually . My 1st US Visa was issued eventually in 2014 while i did a drop box some time in 2016 to have it renewed. Some how i never bothered going for a Visa again for almost 5 yrs (which was very careless of me, hence the reason i had to go looking for a physical interview date.) Note: God Factor as a major role to play in having your Visa issued cos some people are over qualified by virtue of their status and travel history but yet denied while i saw 1st timers that were actually granted Visa.

We had 3 Interviewer:

1st one was at the extreme right end, - Very wicked guy, Denied over 90% of the people he interviewed.
At the extreme Left - was a lady: She takes too long asking questions but only granted 40% of the people she interviewed Visa.
Then lastly was a Lady in the middle, She doesnt ask too much questions but then granted over 90% of all the people she interviewed Visa. Everyone was aiming for her.
Unfortunately for me, just about 8-10 people to my Turn, the interviewer at the middle stood up and said she needed to go upstairs and she would be back. Omo ! It was as if my village people was at it again.

Not too long another interviewer came to join them in a different cubicle - Pretty but mean . all the 5 people she interviewed in my presence she denied. Then came my Turn.

I eventually went for the Lady by the right as i know nothing would make me go to the other 2 (Though you may not really have a choice in selecting who interviews you.)

She Later said i should go and collect your Visa in 5-10 working days time, giving me an instruction paper on how to collect my passport.

Omo, didnt know when i said God bless you to her. She smiled again

Dansakimotors:
I paid for Visa since January and since then have been searching for interview date, Was lucky to get a date last week Thursday (i.e on the 4th of May) scheduling me for Monday this week (8th of May). Went for my Interview and Luckily for me was asked to pick up my Visa 5-10 working days time. Am so happy i did not go and waste exorbitant money to buy interview date. God wey do my own go do una own to.
