Please my b1/b2 visa interview is tomorrow
Please what are tips I need to understand
I’m actually nervous Omo
Update
They denied the visa
It was at Abuja embassy
They denied almost 10 people before me
One thick black American lady like that


She asked me my purpose of travel , where I am travelling to, my job, how much I earn and if I have travelled outside Nigeria

And then denied me


Well I plan on travelling to other countries before applying again
I have only travelled to Benin republic and Togo

I plan on travelling to uk,Kenya and Dubai

Then I will apply again

It's normal to be nervous.
Try as possible to be calm before your session.
Go with the mindset that the refusal rate is high.
Be familiar with what you filled in the form - and be able to speak to it.
I wish you the very best.

I will surely keep you guys informed
Thank you

Calm down! You will be fine!

1. Pray!
2. Get all your documents ready tonight - don't leave it till the last minute
3. Get to the embassy at least 30 minutes before your appointment. The earlier, the better. That gives you time to comport yourself
4. Don't listen to the touts around the Embassy. They cannot help you in any way. Focus on your mission there
5. When it is your turn for the interview, be confident, speak clearly, answer only the questions you are asked
6. Avoid over explaining any point
7. If you don't understand a question, ask for clarification
8. Do not lie
9. Remember all the information in your DS 160 form. Do not change your information for any reason. Remain consistent. Same question
might be asked in different ways to check if you are lying
10. Maintain eye contact. Do not act desperate. The more relaxed you are, the better
11. Do not offer any document unless you are asked
12. Listen attentively and ensure you understand a question or comment before you say anything
13. Remember: anything you say can and will be used against you. Choose your words very carefully
14. Pray silently throughout the interview - prayers work!
15. Whatever the outcome is, accept it as the will of God and move on

Keep us informed. Good luck!

Hi,

Being nervous is normal and I understand but don't allow the nerves get to you. Think of the interview like a conversation- don't be informal and don't over-talk but confidently pass your points across.

My tips?
1. Prepare for typical questions. I have shared a list of some below. You can Google for more. You don't want to sound robotic like you memorised all answers but you also don't want to be unprepared.
2. Closely tied to point 1, understand that the interview is the main thing. They are not likely to ask for documents so let your words communicate what you need to communicate. Don't think if they ask who you are visiting, your answer will be to present an invitation letter or if they ask about your job, you will present employment letter. Be ready to speak in the 3-5 minutes you have with them.
3. This one is very important. Ignore what is going on in other windows. As you wait your turn, you may witness several rejections, ignore them because everybody's case is different. You are there to receive your approval. Don't let the refusals you witness distract and destabilise you.
3. Get there early so you don't feel rushed.
4. It's okay if circumstances have changed from what you have in your DS 160 eg your travel dates but have an explanation that makes sense.

Possible questions
1. What's the purpose of your visit?
2. How long do you plan to stay in the US?
3. Where in the US will you be visiting (be specific) and who are you visiting (if applicable)?
4. What do you do for a living?

All the best with your interview!

** Yes. You must fill another one. Ds-160 is what the visa officer will use to interview you on the D-day so you have to fill it responsibly. Flimsy mistake in your ds-160 can be used against your visa success. 👍
Okay thank you
TravelRe: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by Jane8999: 10:40am On Jun 24, 2025
Please I was lucky to get a visa appointment of 11th of July but when I was filling my ds160 I put 15th of July as my intended travel date

Is there a need to fill another ds160 and change the intended travel date
TravelRe: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by Jane8999: 12:01pm On May 07, 2025
Okay thank you

Hello Jane.
Your category is actually B2 (pleasure & tourism) but if the page did not ask you to specify you should pick B1/B2.

The reason is that when the embassy wants to issue your visa they will issue you B1/B2 (80% of the time) because they don't want you to come back and apply for B1 since both visa categories are related.

B1 is for those going to America for more serious and profitable activities. 👍
