Keziahgarba2023:
Hi everyone. Please has anyone flown to the United States via Air France recently? My flight is from Abuja, one stop in Paris then to the US. I will like to know if an Airport Transit Visa is required for Nigerian passport holders with valid US visa. Thank you

You don't need a transit visa if your ticket with Air France is Abuja to US.
Are you spending days in France before heading to the US? Will you be exiting CDG into the country of France?

I really need your advice I came from my a average family...

If you take time to read the last 20 pages on this thread, you'd find all the info and steps and planning you require to attend a B1/B2 interview and "probably" get it approved.
There isn't much thats hidden by anyone that you can't understand when you read through.
Your resume or profile as a person for the past 5-10 years will also play a crucial role.
The VO at your interview has the opinion you (and everyone else in NGA) has the intention of not coming back, and the whole process (from filling your DS160 to the interview) is for you to demonstrate that you will return to your home country.
What is your economic status over the years?
Are you equipped to be financially responsible (equipped with education; steady job over the years; you own a business or hustle or company doing well)?
Do you have compelling social factors that will make you return home (family, wife, children)?
What role do you play in your current job (employed or biz owner)?
How much have you earned over the years to finance a trip to the US (flight ticket is about 900k; hotel for two weeks is like 700k; you will eat for two weeks; your visa is a visit visa for vacation, you will need money for gate fee and Uber to Clubs to Disney to Madison Square to Miami Beach to museum, and all the places you are going. You will shop and buy one or two things.
So to go on a visit to the US for 2 weeks, you will be needing like N3m - N4m

Let's say you earn N300k a month, so you plan to use 10 -12 months salary to travel on a 2 weeks trip? N500k a month is total salary for 6 -8 months
Remember you have rent and phch and Tinubu petrol to buy in Nigeria so have you saved or earn enough to pay for the vacation and all the social and job functions wont suffer?

Every single VO have interviewed thousands of Nigerians over the last 6 months and they have heard all the BS and story Nigerians can 'formulate". They know a lie even before the applicant opens his mouth. They know Nigerian salary scale. They know what rent is. They know how bad the economy is. They know that salaries are not enough. They know there is underemployment. They know Nigeria more than Nigerians sef.

So when you can sort all of these, your interview improves from 0% success rate to 51% success rate.

Pls is it just me or what. I've been filling my dsi60 form for hours cos the system literally logs me out every few minutes or so. It's exasperating.

Clear your browser cache files.
Connect to another Internet if you have the option.

One of the not too recent changes in the DS160 is listing your social media accounts.
These are known as social identifiers. The most effective and direct identifier in society is your phone number.

You go as far as making your phone number publicly available after stating the fact you plan to abuse the visa if and when you get it.

I don’t know if it’s true VO’s are on NL, but there is enough tech in the world today crawling and gathering data to get things like this.

Don’t get yourself flagged. It may be when you want to adjust status this will show up and you blame village people.

There is an example of a popular fraudster who got unmasked from a NL posting investigators used to link his true identity.

LordeCalifornia:
Please in step 2, what is the current cost for visa fee in Naira?

I don’t know.
It is determined by what the banks or FX markets says it is on the day you want to pay the $185

Marvyx:
We don't look at Initial gra gra.. Time will reveal and tell.

Oyel dey your head.

Every statement by every administration since 1999 is always in future tense. At the end of each administration since 1999, all those future tense never become past tense.

We will…
We are…
We plan to…
The idea is…
We propose…

Another 8 years of future tense statements.

You don’t have any business being married if you ask such questions even in private.

Too many emotionally underdeveloped boys and girls in public these days

His own friends are behind this.No bank will OPEN ACCOUNT for you without VALID/COMPLETE INFORMATION & DOCUMENT. He should go and look at the GHOST behind these ACCOUNT in mandate cards

Your comment is just somehow.
So is it okay by your own words for the bank to open ghost accounts because they are his friends?
He is highlighting the inadequacy of the banks. You are busy blaming everyone but the bank.
Focus on the issue and not blame people. That is how things are resolved.

janda1:

Thank you so much sir
Sir please can you assist me with your number in case if I have other questions to ask
Thanks once again

Just post here. I am not on WhatsApp and I live outside NG.

If you can, read as much as you can in this thread.

To get a visit visa approved requires convincing a VO you’d return after the visit and you can financially afford the trip.
You will return because you have a lot going on in Nigeria that is super important you don’t have to remain in the US despite the better opportunities. Good job. Family. Home. Business etc etc here are thriving
You are financially able because you earn enough and have a good savings to pay for the trip (visa fees, flight ticket, hotels, feeding, vex money, spend money, shopping money) without getting stranded.
You have a plan for the visit (what are you doing for the period while in the US). What are your plans for the vacation - places you are going to... etc

janda1:
Good afternoon sir/ma

I want to apply for USA tourist visa, how can I go about it

Consider not using agents. It’s something you can do yourself. It’s free and you only pay your visa fees $185

Step 1
Fill DS-160 form
https://ceac.state.gov/GenNIV/Default.aspx
Step 2
Pay visa fees (GTB online or walk into branch)
Step 3
Create an account here, www.ustraveldocs.com and use DS160 Confirmation Number and Visa Fees number to fill out profile. Then also book appointment here.

You will only see option of checking dates after Step 1 and 2 are completed.
There are no available dates. You’d have to be checking regularly. You will get something in 2024.

Please take your time to fill the DS160. Don’t rush. Use 3 days or more. Anything you aren’t clear about, ask.

We haven’t broken any immigration rules so far

Please don’t anytime down the line.

I'm here to seek advice and recommendations on what we could do better for a tourist visa interview.

The challenge with scripted Q&As is when a question outside the script is asked (which is guaranteed), it throws the applicants off balance and the interview timeframe is so short, there is no time to recover and continue properly. VOs are said to study body languages, confidence level and voice frequency/patterns.

Rehearsing Q&As is good, but comes with a pitfall.

WRT your Q&A, I think its good and should serve its purpose.
Your dads surgery is also a good reason for your mom to return to Nigeria, but if the VO doesn't ask why she's applying alone, then that information is lost in translation. That info should be included compulsorily with the answer you have for How long do you intend to stay in the US question, which is a guaranteed question to be asked by the VO

This palliative thing is just moronic.

The cost of the 36 + FCT buying food items across the nation to share to the citizens is a lot of money being misappropriated in the guise of palliative.

Politicians and government officials (plus wife and girlfriends and side chicks) are making money getting contracts to be buying rice and oil and tin tomato is bulk to supply.

I think it should just be stopped.

HoneySwag:

Where are you getting your news from? Google search the poorest countries in the world if Rwanda is not among. Kigame has done nothing in that country but oppress the people

Get your he’s out of the sand.
Rwandans are better off than Nigerians

MrSinister:
Sit tight African leader! I was still in Primary school when Kagame was sworn in as president. Fast forward twenty something years later, he is still there! He is not a good example.

4 year democracy is not a rule from heaven we must adhere to

Dubai or Saudi have done better than Nigeria since 1999. Do they have 4 year tenure system?

Kigame has done more for his country than Nigeria. You that have had 20 leaders since primary school, how is your country today?

Switinthemiddle:

me and this my guy have known for some years
i know him as someone who has a flaw for anything under skirts.
It didnt bother me all these while
he was codedly wooing my junior sister and they just started dating.

This is what happens when "good" people stand idle and let bad behavior of others run a-mock.

That fire has reached your farm, and now you want people to help you find water to put it out. Same people you sat on the fence and watched fire burn their farms.

Its not about judging others and minding your business. Its about playing your part in making the society we live in a good place. Congrats on your sister dating the monster you indirectly created.

Speak to your sister and to your friend if you are truly and really his friend all these years.

Here we go again

3000 staff is a bit too much.

Before this becomes another Forbes 30 under 30 Saga

Mummyfour:
21st if August, I was at the American embassy for a visa appointment.

How did your interview go?
You broached on every topic relating to Nigeria, but left the outcome of your very first sentence

But Zamfara $9bn a year illegal Gold mining continues year after year
Illegal Uranium mining in Bauchi continues year after year

Zirconia16:
Good day guys,

I've asked this question like twice without any response. Pls will need a reply. Thanks

Do babies need to do interview and biometrics. I qualify for IW and want to know if I can apply for my baby at once. Else his own application will be done when his father (my husband) will apply for his as he does not qualify for IW. Thanks.

Biometrics is ages 14 - 79 only.
You have to apply for your baby like any other applicant. The consulate will contact you on or before the interview date either to approve or deny based on your profile as parent or guardian.
You can’t add or list your baby to your IW.

He's a bus driver.
He might not know the content of the parcel probably belonging to a passenger or one of those people that send goods via public transport

You haven't mourn nigerian soldiers but you went and mourn niger niggas'' People join nigerian army because of poverty and unemployment''

Stay in school, you refused shouting school is a scam. Your report card is out.

It’s Niger State and not Niger that’s in the press release posted by the OP.

There’s no difference between the man that can’t read and the man that REFUSES to read.

Everyone just wants to use trending buzz words

So a text book is an average of N42k?

The Chinese constructed 15,000 housing units in South Africa in just 4 days, let's see how much time the Qataris will spend on this.

We are not interested in a competition between Qatar and China. Everything in life is not who has a bigger d*** size.
Are the conditions that required China build 15k houses in SA present in Nigeria?

You never read the article but rushed to comment trash as usual. Where on earth did the Op preach against marriage? 😂
'When stupidity is considered patriotism, it is unsafe to be intelligent' __Isaac Asimov

The OP is disingenuous. Yes the piece is not against marriage, but the Topic is misleading, and so is the style the entire opinion piece was written. And this is a practice commonly used by the Team No-Marriage or Team Child-Free.
And it was intentional.

Bobbiee:
We need to destroy this entire country. Make everyone rest. Attack all secretariat. State and Federal.

Bobbiee:

You must be one of those idiots that think he will not be affected by the country. Or maybe one of those that think he can achieve something by democracy. Or maybe you're just a devil that is hoping you will be in the shoes of those leeching Nigeria dry

From the idiot that says Democracy won't achieve anything, so we should all resort to attacking and destroying Fed, State and LG institutions.
Your idiocy is Platinum Standard edition.

I helped you copy your manifesto, incase you are experiencing amnesia
