Thank you for taking time to reply everyone

And Congratulations

Muphylad:


I was interview by a Nigerian.
Normal questions were asked.
Like when are you going, what is the purpose of travel,who is taking financial responsibility of your trip, how many days are you going to spend in Germany, are you entering Germany direct or through another schengen territory, who is the contact person in Germany.

The interviewer will be checking your answers with the submitted documents and your composure.

Part of the documents to submit are flight reservation and hotel booking/reservation.

Another thing that helps is the arrangement and organisation of your documents. Two copies of all documents are required for submission and one each must be original.

Please is this the only thread for Germany Visiting Visa?

If there is any other one, kindly share

And if none, can people share their transcripts please, so others can learn

Thank you

Have you received your passport now?

Good day, pls someone shd help out, at the TLS page, I can't see appointment time for Self Service. I have tried other browsers as well. Any useful tips on how to go about this? I need to book my appointment time asap.

A friends mum got her visa late last year and she was wheeled into the embassy here in Lagos, virgin passport, no prior travel history

One cant truly predict the VO

Beautyaddy:


The chances of an un-medically fit 68 years old getting a US visa is very, very slim.

Except she/he is going to the US to get medical treatment and at which she/he has to show financial capabilities to foot the medical bills.

Sent you a pm

[quote author=Elo2020 post=78169058][/quote]

Get a good hospital/doctor with a high bill, because that seems to be what the embassy wants now.
Take proof of the funds, bank statement, etc
Get an appointment from the doctor with your itemised bill
Have your budget detailed out.
Go grab your visa

All the best

Hello good morning all. This thread has really been an eye opener but please i will still need all the help i can get.

I am on my third missionary journey but first time wanting to give birth abroad.

Can any one advice on any hospital(s) in Maryland?

Also we are about to start the visa process, please are there any pointers for me to note? Any advice? What docs am i to take along etc. I Will be eternally grateful for any help or mentor i can get cos i am already freaking out honestly.

Thank you. I will be writing. Thanks.

Thank you for the feedback

Can you please share the transcript

What city did you birth?
how much was the total bill?

Thank you.

didismyname:
Ok in the spirit of giving back. I will like to share my story. I recently renewed my visa.

2016 got a B1/B2 Visa for my family. We had our vacation June 2016 and stayed for a month. 2017, I got pregnant and I did the change of intent. Had my baby Dec 2017 and got back April 2018. Did dropbox Feb 2019 and I got the almighty 221G letter after 8days.

Scheduling a follow-up interview was tasking but by end of March I checked my status and the whole of April was available. I picked end of April to give me ample time to prepare for the interview. My hospital bill for birthing was about $9250 excluding lab. Got all my zero receipts and kept reading this thread on nairaland.
On the D-Day. I set out with all my documents even carried my LO blue passport as I saw on this thread with her BC. Infact I was more than ready, had my itemized bill, zero receipts, 6month payslips, statement of account, letter of introduction from my office...my people I even carried my recent promotion and recommendation letter����
Guess what? absolute nothing was asked other than my receipts, itemized bill.
In my opinion, I think is the confidence that one exudes during interview goes a long way, be sincere and look them in the eye. Try not to stutter.
I mean everyone on my queue during my interview time was not given a visa, I was scared but I told myself that I will give my best smile and be as confident as I can.
Visa was granted.
Grateful to God.

They have opened up Saturday May 11th

Hurry now

MsJanez01:


Nope. Got a 221G letter but yet to get a date since January ..lol.

They have opened up 221G appointment for this Saturday

I saw a post on it yesteday and I just helped someone schedule hers now and there is alot of appointment dates available, that is this Saturday May 11th.

The next after it is in September.

All the best

Well i feel you should get hospital with a very high quote and have bank statements to back up the funds, and they might put you on administrative processing to verify your claims, so please ensure it is all defendable documents you take along.

Best of luck

Japsylee:


Thank you for your response. Please what documents should she go with if we are called after writing to inform them.
Also I was thinking of just going through Houston poe and having at least 20k dollars between me and my wife and also having a card with money as well plus a letter from a hospital and also pay ments of maybe 2k advance to the doctor and a letter from the hospital expecting me?
Also what's the worst case scenario?
Please advice? Thanks A lot

I requested for wheel chair before i got to the airport.

I got bassinet but note that bassinet is a first come first serve basis, I also requested for bassinet ahead, infact chose my seat to be the first line but if you dont arrive at the boarding gate early, they might give someone else and there is limited bassinets per aircraft, thats for Delta airline by the way, with Emirates you can request ahead and it will be confirmed immediately, other airlines have different rules for bassinet, some dont even have bassinets at all.

Safe trip

chikos:
.


Where did u request for the wheelchair at the airport or before you got to the airport? Were you give bassinet,?

Oga was preparing for our arrival ni lol

It was real commando moves i must say and baby was just 20 days old o.

overlord77:


Only you madam, all these commando moves, where was oga n'to ri Olurun.

Please I also need the info on how to schedule appointment.

Thank you.

JustCare:


Check pm

Well for me, I checked in her car seat with the carton, underneath it i put alot of stuffs that where heavy but with small

Then i requested for wheel chair, so i could drag along two hand luggages because i carried her with baby carrier on the wheel chair, and they took one bag off me at the boarding gate to check it in.

chikos:



Thanks dear. I don enter wahala be that. Please any carry on for baby in terms of food and would they allow me to check in my hand luggage

YES they havent touched it since the 8th of Nov, be patient once they do it will turn to administrative processing and there after issued.

All the best

Kmgb:

How did you check?

Kmgb:
Hi everyone,my spouse submitted his application via dropbox on 7th Nov,from then till about 3days ago our dashboard read Passport still at US embassy,however it changed to Document delivery information on Tuesday,he went to dhl yesterday Friday and he was told passport is still at the embassy.

My question..what should we expect next,can a request for him to schedule Interview still be updated on our dashboard,or it should have come by now if it was going to be requested

@Omobendel24 and everyone pls your thoughts

Hello Everyone,

My friend got her Visa yesteday from Abuja.

She is Single and doesnt have any kids, works with an IT firm. She has been to the UK just once (which is over 10yrs now) went to Dubai just last month (I actually told her it wasnt a good one because the VO might feel she went to Dubai just because of the interview this month)

I discouraged her actually because of the refusals rate but she insisted and the day she came to me for preparation I Knew she would likely get it if she is interviewed by a VO that is indifferent.

So please be eloquent in your responses, look relaxed, smile and talk clearly and confidently.

A friend also got her Visa renewed via drop box last month, so it isnt as bad as it seems.

All the best

EPIJOE:



MY [b][/b] MY BROTHER SOMETHING IS WRONG IN THE US EMBASSY NOW THE WAY THEY REFUSE PEOPLE IS WORRISOME.

So we got in, different CBP as advised but she was asked for her return ticket and had to come meet me for it, I followed her back to the officer as i was still waiting on the queue to be called, he also asked about how long I stayed for my previous visit (which was Feb/Mar this year) and he stamped us in right there together.

We entered through Newark without any issues.

Flew Emirates.

Thank you

seyewest:


You're welcome... let them share their transcripts

After I read from this forum about address on Birth Certificate been an issue for Visa renewal, I headed down to Chicago, luckily i had planned a trip

I have two kids, one is 3 and the other 7months old, they refused to change the address for the 3yr old, infact they didnt want to change for my 7months old too but I insisted and said they are denying people visas in Nigeria because of it. They called different supervisors before they now changed the address to my naija address, i paid $19 for two copies.

So you can try to change it on your next visit, dont know the rule that will apply in the city you delivered.

All the best.

Ulio:

can the address be changed and how..

No they got the Visas separately.

Thank you for the response.

seyewest:


Did they got the visa together? I mean the visa interview was it together? So far they don't bear the same surname, they must go through immigration separately.

I am not sure you have anything to worry about at POE

What you should be worried about is Visa renewal or Visa cancellation, there was someone that said Visa was cancelled because the person didnt travel at the said date on the form.

Lets wait for the guru's to respond.

onamur:
Hello House,

I have a little concern.

During my interview i stated that I will be going to orlando with my family.

But now, we have changed our destination to Houston because we want to Visit NADA space centre.

Is there anything to worry about at POE?

WR

Please I will need your advise on the below.

Two friends are travelling together to arrive Newark, should they both proceed to the CBP officer at POE or they should go to different CBP officers?

Thank you as I await anyone's suggestion.

ayenikunle:


Enjoy!

Dont go inside with your phone, you can leave it in the car if you go with one, or give it to some people that will register it and keep for you tilll you finish at a cost, they are usually sited inside the carpark if it is Lagos, not sure of Abuja.

All the best!

mrvocalprowess:
guys that have done interview. did you go with your phones? where did you keep it? cos the instructions on the ds160 form says no phones.

I wont advise you to proceed with the application, the receipt is valid for one year, you can always cancel the appointment and use it later.

The embassy is hot right now, people that have been travelling to the US for years have been denied lately, how much more of your case that you had a previous denial and now the ENTIRE family wants to apply.

This is the bitter truth, its your decision to make though.

bettyLad:
followed this thread religiously and we have already applied for a family of 5, if I had gone through this posts earlier I would ve told my hubby to hold on so he won't spend his money, our interview date is 5th of December and we are applying as a family , family of 5. hubby has been denied twice and I have been denied once .we applied after our wedding 6years ago to spend the honeymoon in US but the didnt grant us .hubby applied alone to attend a conference last year but he still got denied despite having invitation letter .now we are applying as a family to spend the Christmas break .
hubby is self employed, stayed in UAE while I stay in Nig with the kids ,we hope to celebrate this Christmas in the US , please nairalander what are the chances of we getting the visa considering our previous denial ?how much is expecting of us to have in our bank account ?we intend spending 9days

NO they wont provide hotel because it is a voluntary layover as they have a shorter layover, only flights that are involuntary long layovers that qualify for the complimentary hotel.

Josh4wod:


Congratulations Sir.



How was your experience with Royal Air Moroc, and did the company provide an hotel reservation for you, during your 12HRS layover?

Thanks.
