He said his brother from the amala area...

Wow its been a while I hopped in here, my 5 years visa will expire in 2028. The current economy is pushing me away from travelling.
@Justwise thank you for getting rid of Efe! He has been reincarnating with different names but I already know his handwriting. Pls permanent his ban!

The current visa ban is really a tough moment for Nigerians, we never had it this bad from America, I hope the ban will be lifted soon.

SixSeven:
That's not him on his knees. It's AI.

And you expect such person to have an iq to differentiate between AI and reality?

WesleyPepper:
This is interesting.
I hope they won’t ask for monicker used on anonymous websites such as nairaland.
Nah where wahala go Dey be that o

Your linked email to Nairaland go expose you!

Debbieeeeeee:
I only recently just used my five years visa too when I realized it’ll soon be two years since I renewed. I think the five years length is also a factor as to why we don’t even think of using it so soon

Whenever I check the exchange rate...my mind will tell me school fees is more important. It is well.

My 5 years visa is getting to 2 years old and I have not travelled...how things have gone bad in my country!

Preshy2004:
Hello ,
I had my interview today in Abuja and I was denied

The visa officer asked me why I'm visiting and I said for vacation
She said with my husband I said yes
She asked how many days I said 20 days
She asked where do I work, I told her am a lecturer
My husband works for a multi national oil company
She asked if I have any child in the us I said No. If I know anyone in the us I said no.
She asked me which country have I visited I told her France. UAE UK. And I went on to explain to her that I just visited the Uk in December. And squeezed her mouth and just denied herself and not me. 😃😃. They truly do not know persons with genuine reasons to travel

If I may ask do you truly not know anyone in the US? former class mates. friends, any relatives? Its so hard not to know anyone living in the US these days...

1daboi:
I'll be coming to Las Vegas in October. Hope I enjoy my stay

You will have a blast...hit me up, I will give you some insights when you get there. Im in Nija though.

AdisaMighty:
I am in Washington DC, not Washington state. I have Las Vegas on my bucket list but not this visit

You will be thrilled with las vegas.

The last I was in Washington, I felt like relocating with my family. Such a serene state, very organised.

If not that you are on a business trip...I would have recommended you to my happy place...Las Vegas. Though far from Washington.
Enjoy and what sort of business takes you to the US almost every quarter? Lucky!

Pls can you go back to the last page of part 4 and place a link to this thread, it's the norm usually on all last pages. As some people might find it difficult reaching here.
I can see less traffic.

Primetouch1:
Good Morning guys ,

How do I update my Ds-160 Form ? My interview is stated for Monday what and what should I go with.

Thanks

You cant update it since you have submitted.

Go with your ds160 printout, your payment receipt, your international passport and passport picture and (any other document you think can support your interview which however may never be asked).

Debbieeeeeee:
Please don’t stress Yourself responding, someone that said I was scamming people , serious false accusations, once you call him out he tell lies against you.

Honestly he's a nuisance with a corny mission on this thread.

OyoTunjiUSA:
Hey 🤠

What evidences are glaring ? Evidences of the people i duped or scammed ? You 're labelling me a con man (without genuine evidence) and you think if i have your time you won't compensate me through your ass ?

1. @debbieeeee was pointing to evidences where i was explaining the meaning of Mock interview . But she cannot provide the list of people that have joined my mock session neither can she provide the list of people that i have scammed .

2. Out of let's say (for example) 2,000 active member of US travel sections on Nairaland , only the same (conspirators) @debbieeeeeee, @fkj950ax, @hunee, @Ess (who was advertising mock flier for $500) , and @welf99a are usually attacking me. Nairalanders should go and check from the onset .

3. One of you @Ess was even advising @justwise to implement IP or Mac ban so that the people in my vicinity won't have access to Nairaland 😀. LOOK AT THE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO GOVERN NAIRALAND .

4. Nairalanders , together with @justwise should sit them down and ask them what did i do ? If you are talking of multiple users i only have @OYOTUNJIUSA. The other accounts have been banned and not for fraudulent reasons. If you say it's for fraudulent reasons them @justwise should come out and back your claim .

*** God is a man of war. He will continue to fight with your click on my behalf .


Best Wishes 🙏

LOL and SMH, I was advertising mock fliers?! You are indeed a liar, may God forgive you.
I have been in this forum for about a decade im sure you can verify that.
You have become a nuisance to this group with your long fairy tales that just occupy space with mostly misleading information.

One person cannot overwhelm the majority!

Nowadays this forum is full of spam ever since teacher oko surfaced.
Sadly he has been banned multiple times but his persistence is topnotch.
Justwise it seems IP or mac ban needs to be implemented if this charade continues.

whiteMandingo:
wahala..the economy is just getting worse and worse...ethiopian airline wch provided affordable flights to usa, is no longer cheap. over 3m naira now for a return flight.
pls who knows of any cheaper way to get to washington or houston area with below 20hrs total flight time that cost less than 2m naira?

Nowadays its not about getting the visa but to foot the bills!
Try Egyptair...

Some people are just die hard!
I dobale for your persistence. It seems this is more of a daily bread search for you.
teacher oko indeed!

nnewsnjobs:
Ok thanks for your response. My employer will be responsible for the seminar expenses. I will probably need to inform the VO about that.

Stick to your seminar and book for the upper year ahead. Explain that the date is dependent on the visa interview date and of course its success.

nnewsnjobs:
Good morning all, please I need your advice on the way to go about my visa application because I don't want the VO to see my application as being inconsistent or as if am not being straight forward.

My plan was to go for a seminar in my Field of study and experience. I filled DS160 for B1/B2 and applied for visa appointment date in 2022, I got date in August 2024, after trying many times to reschedule, I finally got May 2024 and I have no other option to reschedule so I have to stick with this date for my visa interview.

Now my challenge is that the seminar comes up ones in a year and this year own is coming up in March before my interview date which is in May 2024. So I will be going for my visa interview in May after the seminar for this year has been done with.

So my question is, when filling my new DS160 form and during the interview, what will my travel plans/purpose to the US now be?

1. Should I maintenance that I will be going for a particular seminar (this my intended seminar) next year 2025, since this was my initial plan and is still my plan. But my concern here is that I can't pay for the seminar now and will not have invitation letter or any contact in the US nor have any correspondence from them since 2025 schedule is not out yet.

OR

2. Should I change my plan to vacation (tourist visa) and during the interview I tell the VO am going for holiday/tourist in the US this year and I also want to attend so so seminar next year if my visa is granted because that was my initial plan for this visa but I can't go for the seminar this year because the seminar date for this year is done already.

Please kindly help me out here, what is the best way to go on this my situation in order not to look suspicious or inconsistent on my travel plan.

Why not just stick to your seminar, I hope it is the seminar that you are really interested in and come back.

Admin is active and agile, that guy na die hard i swear!

Debbieeeeeee:
ArinzeAminuBOYS, NewBoyKashoggi BagOfSweets stop this charade you’re performing on this thread .
Justwise come and get this guy.

Only you three usernames.

So obvious of him!

Admin needs to act swiftly, a common user is actually spamming this thread, It is quite obvious.
@Justwise kindly get to work because information arent passed as they should.

Debbieeeeeee:
Thank you sir for updating the house, teacher Oko take note and stop dishing out wrong advise on this thread as per usual. I no dey respond to village teacher again.

Lol at teacher Oko!!!

NewBoyKhashoggi:
Hey !

@ Ess you 're back again .😌

When i wrote registered with Google i understand what i wrote and i can defend it in the presence of any panel . To register with Google does not necessarily mean to go to Google and pay .

Gone are the days of free-meal with Google . Google itself as an organisation can input the noun phrase like .. Davido, Ronaldo, MTN, Ghana on their database FOR FREE because the aforementioned are internationally KNOWN.

NOW ..type Ess (your monicker) on Google and let's see if it's going to bring out your own Ess 😃. The only way to bring out your own Ess and which i doubt is to type Ess Nairaland on Google ....so if it brings it then you have used Nairaland influence.

But to have your own Ess on Google Worldwide , you have to personally approach Google and PAY MONEY OR COMMIT AN INTERNATIONAL CRIME (like Osama bin Ladin)😃

Therefore..either paid or not paid ...All Internationally accredited conference MUST BE REGISTERED WITH GOOGLE and other search tools .

There is God. Don't give up.

Lol...Nairaland no go kill me.
Coincidentially search engine was my final year project. Indeed "register with google".
Enjoy yourself...

Debbieeeeeee:
Lmao 🤣 I can’t laugh o. Make I just Dey look

Abi...It is easier o. Wonders will not end on this space!

Lol at "register with google". SMH

NewBoyKhashoggi:
HEY ! HEY !

I DID NOT WANT TO REPLY YOU BEFORE BUT I THINK I HAVE TO BECAUSE OF YOUR LAST SENTENCES WHICH EXPOSED YOUR KIND.


you do not need any invitation letters for visit visa, VOs will not look at them. (YOU ARE A CONSULAR RIGHT ?)

1. Visit Visa is B1/B2 ... YES or NO ? type your answer and let everyone read it ......

2. NOW YOU ARE GOING FOR A CONFERENCE OR WEDDING ( WHICH FALLS UNDER B1/B2) .... DO YOU NEED CONFERENCE REGISTRATION CONFIRMATION WHICH SERVE AS YOUR INVITATION LETTER .... YES OR NO ? FAMILY OF 4 ARE GOING FOR A REPUTABLE WEDDING IN THE UNITED STATES..TELL US THE VOS has never asked CAN I SEE THE WEDDING FLIER OR INVITATION ?


3. some supporting documents you are mentioning are not needed too like marriage certificates and bank statements....

YOU ARE GOING FOR A CONFERENCE OR SEMINAR WITH 1 OR 2 WEEKS HOTEL RESERVATION AND YOU CLAIMED TO BE FULLY CAPABLE .... OR HUSBAND AND WIFE ARE GOING FOR A CHRISTIAN CAMP OR SEMINAR FOR 2 WEEKS.... THESE 2 SCENARIOS... TELL ALL NIGERIANS HOW WILL THEY SHOW EVIDENCE OF FUNDS OR FINANCIAL ABILITY ? ASIDE WEARING WEDDING RING AND SHOWING FAMILY PHOTOS ... WHAT DOCUMENTS SHOWS YOU AS A MARRIED APPLICANT ?


4. - you can actually retrieve submitted ds160, but im not sure if it is time bound.

YOU CAN RETRIEVE ONGOING SUBMITTED DS 160 (UN GOING MEANS YOU HAVE NOT SIGNED AT THE END OF THE FORM AND HAVE NOT SUBMITTED FINALLY) WITHIN 30 DAYS ... YES OR NO......

YOU CANNOT RETRIEVE AND EDIT OR ADD INFORMATION OR CORRECT ANYTHING IN ALREADY SIGNED AND FINALLY SUBMITTED DS 160 .... YES OR NO


4.- some agents do get closer dates, i dont know how they get them but I'm a witness to that. FAKE WITNESS. YOU ARE ADVERTISING YOURSELF.

THIS IS THE 1ST SENTENCE THAT EXPOSED YOU AS AN AGENT AND I AM NOT FIGHTING YOU FOR THAT ....

THE ONLY WAY TO GET CLOSER DATE FOR B1/B2 (VISITING VISA ) IS VIA EMERGENCY APPOINTMENT ONLY ...I REPEAT ONLY .... YES OR NO ?

THE 3 CATEGORIES THE USA EMBASSY GIVES EMERGENCY VISA APPOINTMENTS TO ARE

1. MEDICAL
2 . STUDENT AND
3. BUSINESS

YES OR NO ? SO YOUR AGENT OR WHOSOEVER THAT YOU CLAIM THAT THEY DO GET AN EMERGENCY APPOINTMENT CANNOT DO MAGIC...THEY FOLLOWS THE PROCEDURE UNDER THE 3 CATEGORIES ABOVE .... YES OR NO ?


5. Lastly do you have a valid US visa? It feels like you are over trying here. Take it easy ok.

THIS IS THE 2ND SENTENCES THAT EXPOSED YOU AS AN AGENT WHO IS TRYING TO ADVERTISE HIMSELF UNECESSARILY ...

DOES EVERYONE WHO GIVES COUNSEL OR ADVICE HERE HAS A VALID US VISA ?.... YES OR NO ? IS HAVING A VALID US VISA THE QUALIFICATION TO GIVE OR SHARE EXPERIENCE ON NAIRALAND ?

I AM OVERTRYIN ? I AM SPOILING YOUR WORK ABI WHAT DO YOU MEAN ?

I CHALLENGE YOU TO ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS FOR PUBLIC TO READ AND DECIDE WHO IS THE JJC OR NOVICE HERE . AND NO MATTER YOUR RESPONSE I WONT REPLY YOU AGAIN !!!

I am not fighting for position here , i am not advertising and I am not here to put anyone down. But if you tackle me YOU GO MEET BRICK WALL .

There is God ...Don't give up.

You think writing in capital will give you an edge? You are overworking yourself honestly.
Some of us hang around because of people like you.

NewBoyKhashoggi:
Hey !

I have been here B4 YOU. Since take off..forget about this profile . Even before the birth of Nairal..
I'm just using this as a freestyle to cool time off by dolling out few knowledge. Not here for competition or to flex knowledge muscles.


There is God ..Don't give up.

The truth is that you are providing some wrong informations...

- you do not need any invitation letters for visit visa, VOs will not look at them
- some supporting documents you are mentioning are not needed too like marriage certificates and bank statements
- you can actually retrieve submitted ds160, but im not sure if it is time bound.
- some agents do get closer dates, i dont know how they get them but I'm a witness to that.

Lastly do you have a valid US visa? It feels like you are over trying here. Take it easy ok.

Blaquewood:
Good evening guys. Sorry first time here, so don’t know how to start my own comment, that’s why I’m latching on to someone else’s comment. Plz I have an issue

I just filled my ds160 form and I can’t find any page to book my appointment interview. It just stopped at the confirmation page. No “next” button to click. No home page to go back to. Been searching up and down the net. Nothing. Plz help me

You need to use another link for that.

wilmafrancis:
