Good morning my sister. I am due in May and at this point I am really getting worked up. I am seriously fighting anxiety.

My lilttle brother is a PR and I do not in anyway wish to implicate him by not fully declaring I am coming to give birth. He is aware of my stand but he feels declaring it may hinder my chances.

I would like to find out the following

Have you gotten your Visa...
Are you travelling with your family...
Is it possible to fill vacation and birth tourism on a single application form. If no how best can I indicate my main intention of giving birth.
Have you gotten your reserved flight ticket without payment.
Can you share your budget sheet and statement of purpose with me.

Only the truth can set you free. Your brother living there as a PR doesn't preclude you from getting visa if you deserve it. Lying might complicate things for you, even if not now. Think twice and be sincere with your application.

My poe story, Atlanta
I used Delta airlines onthe 15th of December,Lagos to Atlanta. We got into Atlanta around 5.15am and had to wait about 15 minutes for the cbp officials to resume.

Since it was a direct flight from Nigeria,i went to pee first so that some people would go first. When i came out the line had diversified with people from all over. I watched two Nigerians get called for secondary, chai i started calling on God to have mercy. Then it was my turn.
Cbp: goodmorning. I replied him
what are you here for?
Me: Vacation, then I gave a little pause and added and chidbirth. He then asked how long I intend to stay, i said 3and half months.He said why that long? I said I wanted to come while i was still fit to fly.
He looked at me and said why here? I said i had medical issues with this pregnancy thats why i came and also the citizenship it offers my baby.
It was a black cbp official.
cbp official: Have you made any payments to the hospital?
Me:No,will make some deposit when i get in and my husband is coming 2 weeks before my due date.
cbp :when are you due?
Me: told him
cbp: How much do you have with you?
Me: 4k dollars
cbp:Final destination?
Me: Chicago.
cbp: enjoy your stay and stamped me in for six months. It can only be God.
Picked my luggage and made my way to my connecting flight. No bag search,no request for documents. It was my second time in the US and my visa expires in January.
Thanks to people who posted their experiences.

Good one and safe delivery!

puretayo:
Good morning peeps. Filling ds-160 form rite now. At this point now. Are you a Nigerian passport holder or a Nigerian resident? Pls guys Very urgent. Yes or no.

A Nigerian passport holder is a Nigerian. A Nigerian resident is someone living in Nigeria legally but not necessarily a Nigerian passport holder. So check your category.

Good Day House

Please i applied for a B1/B2 visa...my interview was for 13th dec. I got there on the scheduled date passed through the normal checks, got to the interview hall, queued like others and when it got to my turn, the lady asked for my passport which i handed over to her. she asked for my i-20 at that point i told her i wasn't a student that i was going for medicals....she said the class of visa i picked during my appointment was m-1( it was my agent who filled the form, and he did expedite according to him)....tried explaining it was an oversight but she asked i wait for her to do some checks. she later got back and said i should go re-book an appointment picking the right class of visa after 72 hrs to enable her open the visa application fee made to gtb. then i left.

Now i have been trying to use the same receipt to re-book an appointment but its bringing an error message 'NO VALID RECORD CAN BE FOUND FOR THE ENTERED RECEIPT NUMBER'........we have written severally to the US help desk they aint helping the issue. please what can i do now? i cant pay another visa fee when i didn't have an interview......the whole process is frustrating

Call them to explain.

ak22:
OK thanks. But he only gave them one confirmation letter .

Does the letter have both of them?

lennyk:
Good day Guys and merry Christmas to all,

i just got my family's passports back from the drop box and we have been asked to come for follow up interview.

Please has anyone gone for this follow up interview? Please what's it all about?

Also, i see on the website that it says the first available appointment is Feb 11 2019 but when i try to schedule an appointment, the earliest date on the list is June 10 2019.

Please i need advice on how to pick an earlier date, if anyone can help out

That has been the trend for some now. It's not new. You will be interviewed like others.

iyaaliyah:
Hello all, pls a quick question oh. It is exactly a month that I filled my DS 160 form and submitted. I want to proceed to payment now and conclude. I hope the form doesn’t have an expiration? Let me not go input payment and stories will follow. Is my form still valid? Thanks and complements of d season.

If you have submitted your DS 160 form, it doesn't expire since you submitted, just have the confirmation number as you will need it to book appointment.

ak22:
Please I need your advice
Someone my sister and my mom to booked and filled ds160 and appointment .
And he just sent me only one ds 160confirmation with two appointment date .
Please is that how it suppose to be
And how can check what he filled for them? Thanks

@Seyewest, OmoBedel24,oluwa234 @ others too

Too late! You can't see what he filled out for them except he saved the applications before he submitted. Your sister and mom are only going with the confirmation and appointment.

TonyyS:
those getting their visas, are u guyz really being interviewed by the ECO?

Interview is in exceptional cases.

Kirusky4life:
Good evening all. Pls I have some questions. I sent my passport and document to the embassy via dhl. Is there any way to know if they have received it?
Will the embassy send me any notification upon reception of my documents?

Use the tracking number given to you by DHL

FromSopot:
Good morning all, I've had 6 months used twice, 2 years used twice also, I'm about to renew, but I noticed the difference in visa fees between 5years and 10years is just about 80k, can I skip 5years and apply for 10years?

If you are able to prove why the visa will be needed, why not?

Desore:
Hello All, What's the basis for 2-Years visa aside 6months already issued

First of all, identify the basis of the 6 month issued

Gewezzy1:
If my interview is on the 22nd of December, when should i get my bank statement from the bank, must it be few days to the interview?

few days to your interview to show its currency.

paulemi:
Hello guys,
Please while filling the DS-160 form, the travel information section, the part about 'person/entity paying for your trip', is that like asking who's your sponsor?

Yes.

Damdy:
Hello house,
I applied along with my husband, my passport was returned two weeks after application while my husband's passport is yet to be released from home office despite applying as couple and it's over a month now.
We need his passport urgently for other things, how can it be retrieved please?

Contact them.

slamcole:
Good evening here. Please what's the implication of not filling the education background of one's DS-160. This was due to the application not loading this section. Thanks

The implication is you have to answer the question about it why it's not there when ask about it.

uzzyj:
Its $31947 and I was awarded $4000 tuition scholarship

This is a lot of money. But the VO might see other things in your response we don't know for her submission. Because the financial angle seems the focus of your interview and denial.

nelronaldo:
I haven't yet.. the school made their decision a couple of days ago.

Has the school requested it? It will cost you fortune sending and receiving SA and i20 respectively using courier.

teepee4Him:
Commercial banks require return ticket to sell PTA. Denied at UBA for that reason.

This isn't true. That's untenable generalization. That UBA said NO doesn't mean all others would do same.

nelronaldo:
Good day house.
please i recently got admitted into University of North Texas Denton for January 2019. Anybody at UNT in the house?

Secondly, will it still be possible to meet up with the spring 2019 semester? Considering January is just 6 weeks from today and I have to go through the whole i20 process to embassy appointment.

On the average, how long does i20 process to embassy appointment date take?

Lagosismyhome, theamerican, Femi312, Sorelee, Folmus, imperiouxx, Bigfrancis21, Twoods, EZEIGBO1OFIMO, Walsping, Ubah1, Oludare01, Time2Smile, MackyNaija, ponpon, rexcheng, quoran, learner007, happyday, 100kobo, GboyegaD, Godchangemylife, pastor Walspring and other gurus here.... Thanks

If you have sent your bank statement alongside your supporting documents, it is easier. Just request the i20 ship by courier which you are going to pay for. 3-5days. But if you haven't sent it, then you might be delayed.

teepee4Him:
Greetings,

Please, does anyone know the rate of buying dollars at the Lagos MM airport? Where is the best/cheapest place to get dollars for a student who is coming to the U.S and needs to change naira to dollars?

Advice and suggestions will be deeply appreciated.

Go to any commercial bank with your Visa. You get it cheaper for the purpose of study than buying outside.

wumi247:
Good evening house and @ justwise,
I need help urgently
Please should i inform the UK I was refused USA visa earlier this year twice with no reason
I don't know if there is a way they get information from each embassy ?

Nothing but the truth. Denial from the US doesn't stop you from the UK visa if you qualify. But you must state the truth. Yes. They do share info.

kenalph:
Nice transcrip sir.
Please this is my first time of commenting on this forum.
I have been delayed twice at the us embassy in abuja. I applied for MBA program at iglobal uni. I was admitted but was delayed at the embassy.
Please how do I go about the reapplication process again, I don't want any delay again. My ogas in the house please help out. And does the embassy do a background check on he TOEFL result to know if it's real or fake.

It's better to look for a good University for your programme otherwise, your denial ehhh. .. Did you hold a fake TOEFL? Don't give yourself a lengthy ban.

Treash:
As how.

Boss, as stated in my post. Most of the land sold to people in Agbowa by these estates is Agric Land that can only be ratified for Agric

apostlejuly:
Hello gurus in d house, i’m Currently in the UK for my Masters and program will be ending soon.
What the possibility of applying for a phd during the remaining 3 months and getting it?

Secondly what’s the duration of a phd program here in d UK and d duration of potential visa?

Help a sister plssss

Help a sister? and you have M with your moniker. Sister, you can always get answers to your questions from your prospective schools. Will 3 month be sufficient to apply and send all required documents? Are the schools admission deadlines still open? the duration of Phd can be found on the official website? Better still go to the appropriate thread.

Treash:
Everyone has a right to sell their properties. Buying from the Estate companies is also good. One good advantage is that it saves you the cost and charges frm the Omoniles.

What about those selling farmlands as residentials

mex551:
thanks for your observation. But if you check well in my post, my Disposable income, after taxes is about 570k. 250k is just my monthly savings. What do you think?.

Technically, if we use the extreme part of disposable income, then it's 250k because thats what you can save. But Follow the given advice; reduce unnecessary budgets. Include all necessary documents that show your ties.

Wish you good luck!

nuga16:
Evening house,
my mum has traveled to UK twice (application done by an agent), and now I want to help her with RENEWAL, pls how do I go about it, thanks.

First of all, there is nothing like renewal with the UK visa, you apply like every other person like new application. Search the link online and filled out the application. Note, the info you supply mustn't contradict the content filled out by the agent. Better still, ask the agent to give you the print out or soft copy provided he has it.

Goodluck!

educhigo:
thanks for the nice advice, i appreciate,but the problem is that i base abroad and i dont have trusted someone who can help me to develop the land,i plan to build something there whenever i go back to nigeria.my father is late and some of my sisters behavior is very bad [b]because they think that we are picking money on the road her[/b]e

Lolz chebi den do see you on Facebook!

iyatrustee:
Oh really! Can it be done online? What are the requirements for the refund?

your £5 deposit and up to £10 of Pay as you go money can be refunded at underground (tube) station ticket machines and stands where people queue for it, 48 hours after purchasing your card. I am not sure about the refund with cash payments for the card refund but if you use your card for payments, the refund is sent to your card within days. I think you might be able to get the cash if you paid for the card with cash at the stands.
