Lest I forget

Happy New Year People.

they are not facebook friends, definitely facebook enemies/critics

as long as the amount is guaranteed and people around me are in the know, why waste my precious energy in talking. I will gladly add extra months to it.

you don't expect people on the streets, do you?
what happened to the usually recreational parks and eateries?

Farouk Lawan for falling our hand

shessyfavour: @FastLink, I am not changing anything i am considering of reapplying immediately this time may be going to Lagos the conference will be held Feb 13 next year i believe i can still get a date in Jan or what do you think how do i present my case this time because i believe i had a good one yesterday and almost got it but didn't know the specific reason he denied me and i asked him if i can reapply and he said yes i can. What do you suggest? Thank you

yes, you can reapply at anything, it's sure to their own advantage as it means more money in their account.
Just take a clue from my yesterday's post/above post and that is all I can tell you for now.

Death

shessyfavour: @Fast Link, how do i present it then? Thank you.

You've gone for the interview already, so you can't change much as per your business and what you make in a month.
As a business owner, the amount you make monthly can't be the same and I know there's possibility of making up to 1M or something close and even less than 300K, some people also add whatever profit they make to the business to expand it hence bank statement shouldn't be used to judge them.

Like I said, any alteration now may portray you in a bad way, however, you can still make amend but MUST be in line with your earlier submission.

shessyfavour: Hello everybody,I have been a silent reader on this thread and i must commend the good work you are doing here.Well i had my interview yesterday at Abuja consulate it was 9am but i was interviewed at 11 am a white guy at window 9 and here is how it went.

Its going to benefit me because i am going to gain more exposure,ideas and opportunity to network with colleagues interested in variety of business field which will help me to expand my business and increase my profit margin which primary goal of every business man and perhaps after the conf i would be able to travel back and forth to the US on business trips.

Vo..Brought out a white paper put in between my passport and returned it along with my DS160 not sure if he made a mistake returning that because i was at the same embassy in Feb this year for student visa which was refused but my DS160 was withheld that time..I want Gurus in the house to please correct my mistakes before i reapply and i am considering of going to Lagos this time. Note, nothing changed in my application from the first application other than i am now married and going for business conference that will benefit my business. Thanks so much

You presented your kinda business as anything goes, direction yet to be established and wouldn't mind staying back in the USA should anything better come your way.

in the issue of your DS160 paper, your information is already in their database and withholding the paper makes no difference for them.

edun.o:
Its d normal denial story that she told me o. And she gave me 1 piece of paper.

Then that has nothing to do with it, it could have but there's definitely more serious thing that resulted to the refusal.
Maybe, you were not well prepared or your presentation was poor. They are not spirits, they only act based on the information available to them, sometimes one's personality does it for him/her, hence some are not asked for any document at all.

edun.o:
It was d white girl @ d 1st booth dat interviewd me. I feeld skinny white guy with glasses was mean oooo. I was jst ask 3/4 questions. Mayb its because I hav an immigrant visa pending I was denied, ill apply again nxt year

what were you told at the point of refusal? if it had anything to do with that, you would be told.

katolistic: Please NL's is it possible to fill in a new DS-160 form evening after submitting one before?

yes

The man's refusal to take her with him must not be unconnected with that kind of attitude of her.

Blazay: NL IGBO women carefully avoiding this thread!
For good reason!
Mgbo. . . no love for IGBOLAND. . .only 'breeding' like fowls for a man's pleasure!
Not even 'CAVE DWELLERS' would confess such without trying to remedy this 'genetic defect'!
No wonder domestic violence rules IGBO MARRIAGES especially!

From whose pespective are drawing your conclusion? I think you are up to no good else, the article did not in any way used Igbo as the case study, it only use Nnewi as his reference point and to be honest, it's just his personal opinion and does not hold for all.

If your intentions are sincere, you'd contribute with an open mind without bringing insults to your personality on here else, you are not worthy of my internet time.

Silence is golden!

grecia01: @fast-link
pls give me your email address, i need to discuss something personal with you

Sent you PM, although I'd loved you asked your question here for other to learn from it.

Compliments of the season to you all.
May God almighty continue to protect and provide for everybody as we enter into another year, and safe trip to those of us that would be travelling during this Xmas season.

Hall of fame: Prof Bath Nnaji for the power improvement during his tenure, those that attribute it to the water level should tell me the difference between the water level while he was still in the office and that some weeks after he's left the office as I we"all did attest to that.
And to think of the kinda celebration those PHCN thieves celebrated upon hearing his exit tells it all. Don't tell me about his interest in the bid since he's more than qualified as well meaning Nigeria, and if courtsy demands that he'd resign to take up what he's qualified for, so be it.


My hall of shame should go to Faruk for being a dog that ate the bone that was its trademark.

Let this not be true, he's one of the best performing governors.

Good people don't last in this country, why?

Why won't them allow him to finish his tenure God?

That would be good if and only if Nigeria remains in existence for long and btw, the ethnicity virus is eaten deep in Nigeria that it will only take the intervention of a selfless leader.

lagerwhenindoubt: True talk bro.. JEGA has started again.. so we go the electronic route only to commence manual voting when the time comes.. I can see Zinox hovering in the background..whatever happened to the N6.2 billion for converting captured data into digital format.. i thought they were already captured digitally Nigeria for you right there.. We will never change hence never grow

To me, something like national identity card or international passport is far better than the so called voters' card, with the person's year of birth clearly written in it, one becomes eligible immediately he/she is 18, and that can always be verify in the data base.

Noted

This post suppose dey hidden!

Better, as long as there's no further request for an extra allocation, hence making it obvious as an another avenue to waste tax payers money, and btw, how on earth is this gonna check electoral fraud when unregistered voters can still be allowed to vote not to talk of the electoral officials that do the thump printing by themselves to favor their favorite candidate.

The only way this would work is by the use of electronic voting system, thereby detect multiple voting, anything short of it is like selling a monkey to buy a dog!

skyfall: Muhahaha very funny.

In case you don't speak Yoruba, it means "oh fruit, turn to sugar, the prince wants to eat you."

Guess it's a way of psyching themselves hoping it'll be a sweet one. Agbalumo is very nice if it's sweet, otherwise e go slap u tire. LOL

The bolded portion is damn too funny, and to add that it will spoil your mouth for the next meal even the taste of water.

ogunbekun: Ok. But i didnt submit any documents. I have a valid work and i earn a neat monthly/annual pay. He just spoke with us and said that.

We applied for visit. We are to go for vacation.

Have you been travelling to US before?

hmm, can make much out of this

Hmm, with hurricane sandy and unfriendly weather, the demand for us visa has decreased

who does the money go to, government or the stakeholders?
