Tiwalad: Hi Everyone, I just need clarifications regarding the NPC certificate. I was given a letter typed with my information on their letterhead. I was
expecting something more like a certificate. Please can anyone describe how the NPC certificate looks so I can be sure I have the correct document

preprewow: Golden Rules for Visa:
Looking Good and Confident.
Looking disciplined and organized.
Create interest in CO towards you with
interesting & intelligent answers.
Sounding natural in accent and
communication.
Maintaining eye-to-eye contact with
CO throughout interview.
Staying positive throughout.
Showing clarity of thought and logical
flow in expressing views.
Speaking Loud with confidence.
Having good presence of mind.
Showing good knowledge about your
area of interest.
Having good and credible future plans.
Add a little bit of sense of humor.
Exude professionalism in whatever
you do &
Smile and put Consular Officer always at
ease.

wear formal dress to appear for
interview. Your dress should portray
you as a professional / as a well prepared person.
Carry only relevant documents. Do
not present any papers-certificates or
documents unless asked for.
After Interview is over remember to
show gratitudes towards CO by saying 'Thank you'. And if
you had any doubts clarify them with
CO. Check for all the documents
before leaving home.Greet the
interviewer first, even if CO is not
listening or not looking at you or busy
with his computer.
While answering the questions (or
even when not answering), remember
to look at the CO instead of looking
down. Keep continuous eye contact
with Consular officer throughout the
interview. Keep looking at the CO but
never at other things or other
happenings in the room or at other
counters. Look at CO when he/she is
speaking. Don’t look away at any point
of time while answering or listening.
Feel like, there’s nobody between you
and CO, and nothing exists in this
world of your visa between you
and CO. Don’t become conscious of
others looking at you either watching
or listening.Remember it’s your visa
and your future. This is very
important. Listen to questions
carefully to comprehend. If you are
not sure of what’s the CO is asking,
politely request for a repeat. But don’t
over do the same. Give short and “to-
the-point” answers, unless asked for
longer ones. Wherever there’s scope
for it, it’s always better to be prepared
with two sets of answers for
questions, One long and one short.
First give short answer and if CO asks
for details then give long answer or
explain in detail, so that you will be
still in comfort zone. You have to be
clear about your long-term and short-
term goals, both personal and
professional. And make sure that you
can explain well your courses you have studied at high school.

Confidence – the One and Only Key
for Visa. So look confident, answer
with confidence, listen to CO with
confidence and even it the need
arises, smile at CO with confidence.
Just exude confidence in whatever
you do at interview.Mouth all words
clearly and speak loud enough to
hear. Answer immediately without
wasting any time. Little fun with good
sense of humor is always welcome.
CO’s generally respond positively to
good sense of humor. Answers
should not be given in a raised voice,
even, when the question comes n that
manner. Remember CO will be having
tough time too, with huge volumes of
applicants and asking same kind of
questions and listening almost
identical answers day in and day out.
They too will be under great pressure
to issue a visa till the applicant’s
intentions and arranging of funds are
made clear to them. It’s not that you
should feel comfortable in interview,
but in my personal opinion you
should also make CO comfortable by
presenting all facts and figures
through a systematic and organized
way of answering, presenting
documentary evidence whenever
necessary or asked for. Never become
desperate, wearisome and tiresome
even it the interview is going in a long
way than expected by you – But,
still throughout interview(s) try to
maintain your composure, looking
positive, confident and smiling at
every turn and opportunity and repeat
the same answer content suitably,
again and again. Avoid giving
additional information unless asked
for it. If you care complimented for
your answers, achievements, scores
and percentages,remember to thank
the CO.
Avoid repeating phrases or words
(using same punch words again and
again). Remember you have to Keep smiling face after giving
your answer, and
It is un-wise to contradict an answer
through a subsequent answer. Always
stick to the same answer whenever
asked for. Same question can be
asked at various times to test you. But your
answers should be consistent and
according to the figure quoted by you.
Don’t show your surprise on your
face, why he’s repeating the
questions.
Simply give answer to that question,
just as a matter of fact. The question
asked should be answered without
any second thoughts, and notions. An
applicant’s behavior should convince
the CO about the quality of
personality that you.have.
That’s why people say Attitude is
everything. Just stay positive, be
positive and answer with confidence.
Avoid any exhibition of emotions
other than showing a feeling of
welcoming questions and eager and
ready to give the answers with a
smiling face. In interview you must
avoid – speaking just for the sake of
speaking without any positive attitude
and confidence, repeating points,
words, exaggerating the facts, etc

On final note, thank the interviewer
for his time.
Some More Tips:
If you feel it’s difficult to understand
the CO’s accent, Try to watch CNN and
Hollywood movies regularly for some
time before visa interview to get
familiar with American accent. (But
don’t go for BBC, which will give
British accent). Anyway, I am wishing you all the best. Good Lucks to those who gonna have their interviews on this month & next month (including myself);-) lol

Gentiger: Pray hard to find a visa in your passports on collection day. You have just confessed to smuggling an alien smartly and fraudulently. Do you really think you are faceless in this forum?

Sputum is a mixture of saliva and mucus coughed up from the respiratory tract. It could lead to lung cancer

It could also be they may be checking for Tuberculous bacteria in the sputum.


Hello Jidex001 are u on skype want to add u

Allybert: Interview can only be reschedule after the original interview date have passed. The embassy may not reply until after the original interview date.

ifeanyi.abdul:
if it's not an automated response system, then one might not be able to say pricesly when the embassy will respond. I suggest, however, that they can place a telephone call to the Lagos embassy for further clarifications; this option of telephoning will depend on whether or not there was a reply to thier email. Sorry, what is sputum?

jidex001: I have a family, after their medical at Qlife clinic. They found out the the man which is d father of the home has SPUTUM. He will be paying addition of 50K for the test. Which if the test for sputum is carried out, it takes 8weeks for the result to come out. I gave them the link in which the can email the enbassy cos their interveiw is in 1wk time. So they need to reschedule their interveiw.

My question is how long will the embassy reply them

Bigpiper: Had my Interview on the 6th of this month but I couldn't share my experience here because I thought I was dreaming and I might just wake up any time soon. After I collected my passport with visa on it today, I knew it wasn't a dream. Unlike most of you, I have no education besides primary school, I was trained as a mechanic and I must say I'm very good at it. I never knew nairaland existed until after my interview and this account I'm using to share my experience is my big brother's. He played the lottery on my behalf without my knowledge and he said I must share my testimony with you all because u made it possible. Everything he read on this site he related to me. Thank you and God bless every one of you.
My interview experience:
Interview was scheduled for 10AM, got to the embassy around 9:30
Submitted 2NL at the gate
Checked at the Security Check Point.
Made to leave my phones behind
Made DV Payment
Submitted Originals Documents (did not make photocopies) to Nigerian lady
She went through the documents, gave me back my primary school certificate and told that they require a minimum of five (5) credits. She went away with the document leaving my primary school certificate with me.
Then after waiting a while I was called up to window 13:
Me: Good Morning
Co: Good Morning
Co: Take your finger print
Me: i did
Co: Right hand up and promise you will tell me the truth and nothing but the truth
Me: I promise
Co: What is your highest level of education
Me: Told her
Co: No Waec?
Me: No
Co: Why did you stop at primary school?
Me: Told her
Co: What do you do?
Me: Told her
Co: Where do you work?
Me: Told her
Co: Tell me about your work schedule
Me: told her (explained and narrated for about 3 minutes. She never took her eyes off me)
Co: Go and get your visa at the circled address in five working days from today. She gave me another papper with instructions on how to pay the $165.
Co: Congratulations
Me: Thank you.
Two days later I go an email from the embassy to come with photocopies of my birth certificate and credential (waec and above) to the consulate any day of the week beside friday. I got very scared but I went (after adzovia told me I had nothing to be worried about) and I submitted the photocopies. I was told to go and get my visa the next day. Instead of going I kept tracking and the tracking kept telling me "my passport is in post". It was uniqueprivacy who told me to go there, I got there lo and behold my passport/visa has been ready all along.
Atlanta here I come ...
