@thegreengonner and other forumites, i'm still anxiously awaiting ur response PLEASE. Do i stand a chance with all my descriptions? Thanks

thegreengooner:
I knew I was on to something there. If your main purpose is to purchase some items then tell them that at the embassy. They will then inquire whether it is possible to get order online and have them delivered to Nigeria and if so why do you have to travel to get them.

The essence of a B1/B2 visa is so that you can travel to the US for both business and pleasure.

I've just realised that you said you are an MSc student. You might be asked how your trip will affect your on going studies. Have you traveled outside Nigeria previously?

Thanks for ur engaging response Bro. The thing is that my intention to attend the conference, though secondary, is real. I plan to do both: attend the conference and purchase the items which will be too bulky to airfreight; it will be shipped by sea. It's next year i'm looking at to travel.

Yes. I had travelled to india for surgery in 2010. I had also travelled to Ghana last year on a visit to the school i had wanted to do my Msc before i decided otherwise.

I'm just looking at an easy way to do the both in the state, without being denied the visa. A friend suggested that conference will be my best option, as my business has not been incorporated yet. He suggested that since i'm being Paid monthly by my publisher/marketer, i should use that as evidence of my source of income. However, the amount i'm paid monthly isn't specific: 140k,130k,120 and sometimes 100k depending on the generated sales.

Also. When i newly started my program, i had inquired from my lecturer on the easiest way to get appointed as a lecturer. He advised that i had to make above 4.5 in my Msc, in addition to writing and publishing researched academic papers on popular journals; as well as attending scholarly workshops/seminars/conferences. He said all these would make me stand out among the crowd when i apply for the job. He finally said attending foreign based seminars would be a gr8 added advantage. So since then, i have been building my CV; I have published 2 academic papers on scholarly journals and attended 2 conferences with one professional workshop. So you can see that attending the conference will add value to my CV towards improving my chances for a possible appointment..

Pls with all these, do i stand a chance?

@thegreengonner,
i dont understand how you mean but the truth remains that ur right. I actually want go and purchase some highly lucrative items that are bound to fetch me some big bucks all to complement my source of income which is solely from books. So i just wanted to use the conference thing as a gateway to get to the states, make my purchases and return to Naija since i dont have an incorporated business name. That is my intention and i intend to return as soon as possible cuz my spouse and my son cant even stay a moment without me. And i love them so much.

What is ur suggestion now Bro?

Hi able forumites, greetings. Pls i implore the pros here to respond to this questions. I'm an Msc student here in Naija. I have also authored two books that enable me to earn on average N120,000 monthly since 2012. My current savings is a little above N850,000. I'm married with a kid, and my wife is an undergraduate student. Pls how easy is it for me to get a conference visa to usa? Should I tell them my marketer is the one that'll sponsor the trip. Or should i tell them it's gonna be self-funded? Plsssssssss help me on this? Thanks

Dear Expert,
Pls i need your input urgently. I bought a golf 2 car in 2011 and it's been giving shaft problems ever since. There is no week that passes without me changing either inner shaft or outer shaft. I'm really troubled by this becos i believe this is a vehicle that is popularly used for commercial purposes as taxi and cab. And it cant be this popular as a commercial vehicle If it's known with this faults. Pls what could have been responsible for this?
Urgently awaiting ur reply. Happy new year
