US Visa Approved!!!

Sent a strongly worded email with convincing points for an emergency visa appointment on Tuesday Night - 6th.


Received an email from the US embassy at 7.30am the next day - Wednesday, scheduling me for an interview on Friday at 6.30am.

Today, Woke up at 5.00am, joined hands with my sister to decree divine Favour.

Bath, dressed and booked an Uber, got to VI at 6.20am.

Went in for my interview at 7.00am

Sent back out because I did not print my DS-160 confirmation.

Rain flogged me, some soldier men even gave me umbrella my who cloth was wet.

A lady helped me to print the DS - 160 form, said I should pay her 5K, I didn’t have any money on me. Begged the lady and eventually paid 3500 outta my reciprocity fee.

Went back into the embassy.

VO: Good morning
Me: Hi, Goodmorning

VO: Pass me ur I-20 and visa and da-160 form

VO: where are u going
Me: Going to ...Ivy league school

VO: Great school, but very expensive too, how are u funding it?
Me: Received 80,000 USD in Fin Aid and taking a loan of 20K from my uncle to complete the rest.

VO: Ok, what does ur uncle do?
Me: My Uncle is a real estate developer and deals in wichtech roofing sheets.

VO: Any evidence of ur uncles ability to pay?
Me: before I could Pass him my uncles statement, he said I shouldn’t bother, he believes me.

VO: Have u travelled out before?
Me: Yes, I have been to the US, Germany France, Qatar, Kenya, Uganda...etc

VO: What did u go for?
Me: Explains

VO: Your visa has been approved, do u have the reciprocity fee?
I knew my reciprocity fee was short by 3500 but I answered yes, I did not want wahala.

VO: Go over there and pay, and enjoy ur stay in America

I go over there, praying for a miracle and the money to double...didn’t happen.
Went out and was looking for whom to borrow money from as I didn’t have my atm. One guy who just finished his interview saw me and asked what the problem was.
I told him, he then called his driver to bring money and dashed me 4K. I quickly begged him to wait for me, so I follow him and drop off at my stop.
He waited for me to pay the reciprocity fee and then told his driver to drop me off the stop close to my house.

Good luck every one

Congratulations!

If someone has full funding from a top 20 school (undergrad), what is his/her chances of getting denied a visa?

I feel you're two-third the way through getting that visa approval. To be accepted in Top 20(fully funded) is really a big achievement and the Visa officers know this.
You're the man.
All the best! Sa***

There are two former Republicans whose profound
intellect and command of the language I respect. They
are George Will and Steve Schmidt. Trump tried
attacking Steve (head of the Lincoln Project and
former Campaign Manager for John McCain) on Twitter
and he got skewered. Read Steve's response below.

“You’ve never beaten me at anything. This is our
first dance. Did you like, Covita? We are so much better at this than your team of crooks, wife beaters,
degenerates, weirdos and losers.
You are losing. We heard you loved Evita. You saw it so many times. Where will you live out your years in
disgrace? Will you buy Jeffrey Epstein’s island? One
last extra special deal from him? Or will you be drooling on yourself in a suite at Walter Reed? Maybe you will be in prison?
I bet you fear that. The Manhattan District Attorney
may not be around to cover for you or your crooked
kids anymore. Eliza Orlins doesn’t believe in different sets of rules for the Trumps. What about the State Attorney General? You know what you’ve done.

Oh, Donald. Who do you owe almost $500 million in
personally guaranteed loans to? It's all coming down.
You think you and your disgusting family are going to
be in deal-flow next year? Are you really that
delusional?
You are lucky Chris Wallace interrupted you after Joe Biden said you weren’t smart. You started to melt down. That’s the place that hurts the most. Right? Fred Sr., knew it. You’ve spent your whole life proving it. You aren’t very smart. You couldn’t take the SAT on your own. What was the real score? 970? We both know you know.
Are the steroids wearing off? Is the euphoria fading?
Do you feel foggy? Tired? Do you ache? How is the
breathing? Hmmm. Are you watching TV today? We will
have some nice surprises for you. Everyone is laughing at you. You are a joke. A splendid slowpoke turned deadly clown.
Did you watch Martha McSally in her debate against
American hero, fighter pilot, test pilot, astronaut Capt.
Mark Kelly? She is so embarrassed by you. She is
ashamed and full of self-loathing for the choice she
made in following you over the cliff. She is in free fall
noa w. She will lose, like most of them, because of you.
We hear from the White House and the campaign
everyday. The very day trying you. They are looking to get out alive and salvage careers and their names.
It’s Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner vs. Donald
Trump Jr., and Kimberly Guilfoyle on the inside. They
are at war over scraps and who gets to command what
will be the remnants of your rancid cult.
It’s almost over now. You are the greatest failure in
American history. You are the worst president in
American history. Disgrace will always precede your
name. Your grandchildren and great-grandchildren will grow up ashamed of their names.
One day, I suppose there will be some small and not-
a much-visited lA library that bears your name. It will be the type of place where a drunk walks by, staring at the wall for a minute, before deciding it is beneath his
dignity to piss on. That’s what is waiting for you.
Joe Biden is a better man. He’s smarter. He’s
winning.
Do you remember when you didn’t want to name
Donald Trump Jr., Donald because you were worried
about him being a loser named Donald? You were right
about that. He is.
But it is you who will be remembered as America’s
greatest loser. You will be crushed in the election!”

Senator Kamala Harris came across as a prepared leader who studied the issues. Vice President Michael Pence on the other hand came prepared to deflect and obfuscate with angry word-knives dunked in poison-honey. He reeks of white male privilege. How did we get here? America. Sad...

Abeg burst!

Baron: We must #restructureOrBurst...

Public: He's a bloody wailer.

Pastor Adeboye: We must #restructureOrBurst...

Public: This is a divine directive!

Me:���

Inference: It doesn't matter whether it was the Village Drunk or the King that announced the presence of invaders as long as people get warned and protect themselves! We either restructure NOW or pay the hefty price of a most spectacular meltdown of the Nigerian State. In my observations, the window of Restructuring is almost closed...

Long live the Biafran and Oduduwa Republics! The Nigerian Republic could go and live long with state-sponsored madness as Fulani Herdsmen Terrorists, Boko Haram and Northern domination! The rest of us ain't interested any longer! Don't bother with the #restructure any longer; let's burst the damn thing and be done with it already!

#thinkAgain

Baron Roy, Odogwu!

illiterates in the Far North won't let Nigeria progress. we have a Constitution that supersedes every other law in Nigeria, be it the Kano Sharia Law or whatever law yet, there's an infraction on people's right in a daily basis.

Restructure or Burst! I am Tayad!

lastclaire4:
Nooo I didnt say that o. She is known for that. She is highly temperamental. How can domestic staff undermine her authority. If you can read people well, does she look like someone you can step on? If a domestic staff undermine my authority, I will be insulting myself by coming physical. That is the difference between a normal person and someone who had a better part of their childhood in a rough environment.

You're right, but I can't say if she's at fault. FFK isn't a Saint oh, He's been in more than 3 marriages that fell apart. you can't tell me that all his wives were at fault.

lastclaire4:
We have heard them say she abused the domestic staff and comes physical with them knowing fully well they cant do anything to her.

it doesn't make sense at all. No one in her right sense will go after her Maid'. just to get back at the husband. I feel maybe the domestic staff are undermining her authority, hence her attack and rants.

modsfucker:
Which wife records her husband during disagreement? That's belittling to a former Minister.

The recording sef is enough provocation... I'm not with her on this one.

I can't imagine my wife recording me during argument, I'll lose it and go completely nut.

the recording is not provocative at all. I feel he has abused her on several occasions and she became fed up and decided to keep records of the abuse. In case it does go to court.

.

Wow..
I can't laugh. so The Chinese virus could get to Trump. May you, Melanie, and America
recover from your affliction.

the moderator underestimated what Trump debate would look like. Next time, they need to start muting mics.

Donald J. Trump has trashed the presidency...

A blustery school yard bully. A somnolent uncle. A doddering moderator. What a night.

No more debates after this, if you ask me. This is beyond absurd.

Biden telling him to shut up was everything. He looked like he got slapped by his mom, hahaha

PRESS STATEMENT The attention of Nigeria Customs Service has continued to be drawn to a skewed narrative of Northernization following the recent appointments into the management cadre of the Service despite explanations by the Service at different times and fora. For the umpteenth time, the Service wishes to state as follows: ➢ That all the zones of the country are equally represented at the management cadre of NCS. ➢ Vacancy for new appointment is only made available through retirement resignation, dismissal or any natural cause. ➢ When any of the above occurs, such vacancies are filled by new appointments from the zone(s). In the last few months, there have been retirements of 2 DCGs, one from the North-East and the other from the North-West. There were also 3 ACGs that exited the Service, 2 retired, 1 dismissed. (1 from the North- East and 2 from North-West). Two DCG vacancies provided spaces for 2 Senior serving ACGs from the same zones of North-East and North-West to be appointed to the rank of DCG. This therefore increase the number of ACG vacancies to 5 which must be filled from the two zones that have the vacancies. Consequently, inline with procedures, the following appointments in acting capacities were made: ➢ Ag. DCG Abdullahi Babani - HRD (North-East) ➢ Ag. DCG Mohammed Boyi - NCS TRADOC (North-West) ➢ Ag ACG Saidu Galadima - ICT /Modernization (North- Central) ➢ Ag. ACG SM Modibo – Zone ‘B’ (North-East) ➢ Ag. ACG Uba Mohammed – E,I&I – ( North-West) ➢ Ag. ACG Hamza Gummi - T&T North-West ➢ Ag. ACG Usman Dankigari – Doctrine & Development (TRADOC) North-West. Following above appointments, the status of the Service Management stands as listed below. S/NO RANK NAME DEPARTMENT GEO-POLITICAL ZONE 1) DCG ED CHIKAN FATS NORTH-CENTRAL 2) DCG RO OLUBIYI SR&P SOUTH-WEST 3) DCG A CHIDI E,I&I SOUTH-EAST 4) DCG TM ISAH T&T NORTH-CENTRAL 5) DCG P IFERI FTZ,E&I,I SOUTH-SOUTH 6) Ag. DCG A BABANI HRD NORTH-EAST 7) Ag. DCG MB BOYI TRADOC NORTH-WEST ACG AOB FATADE HQ SOUTH-WEST 9) ACG D UMARU HRD NORT-CENTRAL 10) ACG AM AREMU FTZ, E&I,I SOUTH-WEST 11 ) ACG CO ODIBU BOARD SOUTH-EAST 12) ACG KC EKEKEZIE ZONE ‘A’ HQ SOUTH-EAST 13 ) ACG EI EDORHE ZONE ‘C’ HQ SOUTH-SOUTH 14) ACG K AJIYA ZONE ‘D’ HQ NORTH-EAST 15 ) ACG BA ADENIYI C&SC GWAGWALADA SOUTH-WEST 16) Ag. ACG HK GUMMI T&T NORTH-WEST 17) Ag. ACG AG SA’IDU ICT NORTH-CENTRAL 18 ) Ag. ACG UG MOHAMMED E,I&I NORTH-WEST 19) Ag. ACG SM MODIBBO ZONE ‘B’ HQ NORTH-EAST 20 ) Ag. ACG SMU DAKINGARI DOCTRINE & DEV. (TRADOC) NORTH-WEST As can be seen above, those who have chosen to impugn Northernization or any other sentiments are far from the truth. The intention of those promoting this negative narrative is suspect as the same people did not come out to shout ‘marginalization’ when due to disciplinary issues, 2 ACGs from the same zone of North-West were affected by Forced Retirement and Dismissal. It is therefore surprising that these people will wish their replacements came from different zones. As a Federal Government agency, NCS has and abides strictly by the rules governing Recruitment, Promotion and Appointment into the Management cadre. We therefore urge Nigerians to ignore this mischievous twist. Signed: DC, Joseph Attah Public Relations Officer For: Comptroller-General of Customs

Fox12:
I accidentally eavesdropped on him on the phone(Having an intimate conversation) with an anonymous girl.
Should I tell my sister about it?

You can't do that. Don't be the reason their marriage falls apart. See what you'll do, Have a talk with your brother-in-law. Trust me, He will stop. it worked with my sister in law.

We do not live in a democracy, but Vice President, Yemi displays a dictator’s aversion to the truth. Indeed, his whole administration is built on a foundation of lies.

"The Trump administration has secretly siphoned nearly $4 million away from a program that tracks and treats FDNY firefighters and medics suffering from 9/11 related illnesses, the Daily News has learned.

The Treasury Department mysteriously started withholding parts of payments — nearly four years ago — meant to cover medical services for firefighters, emergency medical technicians and paramedics treated by the FDNY World Trade Center Health Program, documents obtained by The News reveal."

The payments were authorized and made by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, which oversees the program. But instead of sending the funds to the city, the Treasury started keeping some of the money.

ClassicMG:
In as much as I don't support extra judicial killing. I think the political leaders of benue are not been sincere with the whole thing.. he probably might be their machinery, going by how they are sympathetic to someone who according to them has killed so many people

Gana wasn't a terrorist, He was a vigilante leader. He simply didn't allowed Fulani mercenaries raid Benue state. This is extra judicial killing! Nothing more.

keep grabbing undeserving awards, it won't change the bad image you already have amongst Umu Nsukka Asadu.

RPirez:
Rubbish! See them celebrating mediocrity and stupidity!

They focus too much on SW and Yoruba lands.

You made a valid point.but I don't understand why SE and SW people keep attacking each other. it does NIGERIA no good.

*Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi government is the worst government so far in Enugu state. I am not just an Enugu son. I am from Nsukka Asadu. all dz boys paid by this inept government to spread lies. Don't you ever get tired? Fear God small naa.
H.E Gov. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi doesn't deserve this praises at all, Everything in Enugu today, was done by our dear Son, H.E Sullivan Chime.

None. I was a street boy naa. nothing ever too me there. If you knew the boy that will run and put on cardigan just to disguise whenever a teachers calls him, that was me.

Ahmed0336:


Three things are involved.

1. You can tell your friend.

2. Strike an agreement with her that you won't tell your friend, chop her then tell your friend.

3. If you keep quiet and your friend goes ahead and marry her your conscious will forever haunt you.




Singing these hoes ain't loyal till chorus fade.....

Let me warn you. do not fall this crap Ahmed0336 just said. if the dare try to take advantage of that gurl with this. you'll fail.
at least before you go chop her, you gat make small moves. she fit set you up oh. and tell her BF you tried to toast her. so you'll end up being an enemy with your guy.
See no evil, say no evil!

I think at this point a lot of Trump-supporters who know better have sacrificed so much to defend him
(friendships, familial relationships, their own principles, etc) that they will vote for him just to make all that seem worth it. It’s not. And it’s not too late to just let that sh*t go. You don't owe anyone an explanation. Just quietly let it go.

I can't wait to get this clueless APC government out of the Aso villa.

Imbecille!

The North & the Clowns You see that New NBA thingy? I love it! What the North wants, the North gets! But you see those clowns in Southern Nigeria? Yes, they're clowns...smh... Clowns are ever unaware of what they want...they hardly realise that they should even want something in the first place! Clowns!

pryme:
The leftist liberal lunatics reminds me of how ostrich behave, they think putting their head in their lies will make Trump go away.

If you ask them to give you a specific example what makes Trump a racist, watch them run from pillar to post.

jokes apart, it's only the mentally deranged that would be oblivious of the fact that Donald Trump is a racist.

Sheikh Pantami just became a billionaire. When he leaves office, he would have looted enough to run for Gombe guber race.
Restructure now or burst!
