If she was so confident, she wouldn't be forgetting details of UK trip and that the car she came with already gone to the hospital. Or what is the definition of Confidence again?

She was just lucky the VO seem interesting in her story, so many things didn't add up. And some VO will deny someone for same reason regardless of how confident when your story are not adding up.

Hmmm ur comment tho, anyway u can call it luck as for me I won't dare call it luck, God's blessing is not luck.. u weren't d one that had d interview permit me to tell u what happened in there...
I don't even know where I got the nerves to say I don't want to come back here , ask me anything.. the fact that I forgot my old passport on d car seat and my head didn't boot fast that my driver left,(so u mean, u are smarter it can never happen to u?) remember I said 'can I still have d interview today' and she said I should book another appointment, I asked politely (confident again) if I can have d interview without my passport and she said cool... that moment is enough for 'anybody' to forget anything but I was able to put it together after few seconds.. after I answered I don't risk white peoples food, I remember names of restaurant I visited.. do you expect me to now start mentioning You were not there, I'm telling you it was confident that made me ask her if we can continue, I bet u are saying luck because u won't dare ask d same question I asked!!!!! And i was prepared trust me, above all it was God....(Every success story has a rough patch somewhere along the way..maybe mine sha!!!)

concho:

Nobody said you lied, but some interviewer would have denied you visa when you could not provide the passport, He first asked for the passport, you searched your bag, later said was in the car, later car went to hospital. It was grace that otherwise that was enough reason for the VO to stop the interview.

I agree with u

kristinbaby:
She is very lucky to meet a listening merciful VO that is having a good day. Many people in her situation that fail to provide old passport with visa of their travel history are denied. Any deception always damages overall credibility of visa applicant. Read in between the lines of her interview. From the line, yes I have my old passport in the car and to another story of her driver go with the passport and she even confirm her lie, she said. Me: yes I don't risk foreign food like that(that was a lie sha) except pizza that I bought few times.. my own normal food.
She is very lucky. I must say again she is very lucky to meet such VO, another VO could have deny her the visa. Confidence indeed!!!

I didn't lie oo, (d lie I was talking about was me saying I don't risk foreign food.. ofcos I'm a risk taker) .. I said when d passport ish came up, I was destabilized, I couldn't remember any restaurant I visited while I was in London..but I was able to switch and put my self together... thanks

Our convo was like that of a friends of 20yrs(vo and I) she was so friendly that I almost forgot I came for visa.

There were confusion during d interview, I corrected myself and she also corrected me ( like when she asked bout where I stayed in London, thought she was talking about attractive places I visited, I started with Buckingham palace and she was surprised I know someone at d palace , so I corrected myself and she help to pronounce it properly (seems she knows the place because her face was lit when she said fireburn Westminster)she asked if I love London, ofcos I do

I'm single , late 20s and look very young
I dressed like I'm d owner of CBN� (very smart ) with my Arab perfumes (combine).

I PRAYED, I TRUSTED GOD and I say I won't pay attention to anybody or wish for any particular VO to interview me .. first time application,I read NL front to back and I never asked question from here because I took my time to read and my questions were answered while reading .
Thanks to everybody here, God bless y'all(plenty typos, sorry it's too long to edit)
