By the reason of the anointing

I Hope Bayelsa state is not part those states that own workers salary. If not, why commission new Governor's office when you cannot pay the salary of workers?

Good day house, I have been a guest long enough, I have been following silently long enough, so today. I will share my experience.
I applied for B1/B2 visa for me, my two sons (6, 4)and my sister, (14years) and we were scheduled for interview today. Below is my transcript.

First when we went in after all the clearance, we were directed to window 5.(abuja embassy) the lady there only took my little sister's finger print. and said that's all she needs. We then went to line up.
Unfortunately for them(not me shaa) against all my prayers there it was that very wicked VO in window 6 that was dashing yellow paper out like it's some naira bills that we were lucky enough to be in front. OK.. .

Vo:.... Ma'am... Please give me your passport
Me:.... Here: Good morning (gave her all four)
Vo:..... You are with them all... . (can't remember how ... ... she actually said it)
Me:..... Yes, my two sons and my sister, I touched them
VO... (looks at her system) mentions my sister's name' .. ...... .. is your sister, and 'mentions my sons name' are .. you sons..?
Me:..... Yes ma'am.
Vo:....... Have you travelled before?
Me:...... No
Vo:..... Where are you going to?
Me:. .. .New York
VO:..... who are you going to see
Me:..... My cousin, (mention's her name)... (though I mistakenly choose 'sibling' while filling the DS 160. ....... form, didn't tell her this though but I guess she .... .... .. can see that anyway

VO :........ What does she do?
Me:..... .. .Errmmm... I think she is a nurse (in the form I ticked do not know)

Vo:.. ..... Are you married?
Me:....... No
Vo:.......... Why are you going to New York.?
Me:.. .. .... Well first of all its Christmas holiday, I want to take the kids on a vacation, at lease let them not feel the vacuum of a father in their life, and again. In my office, our private aircraft is going to the US for maintenance, so I thought it'd better I used that opportunity too as it's gonna cut down on my spending much. (can't remember word to word, exactly how I responded. But I these were the points I stated clearly for her. (while I was speaking she stopped whatever she was reading to look at me. Her face lit a bit.)

Vo:..... What do you do?
Me:.... I am a geologist
Vo:..... Which school did you go to
Me :.. .I told her
Vo:.. ..What is ignous rock
Me:... I chuckled, (in my mind I was like, Haba naa, so elementary) I answered.

Vo:..... Where are your parents?
Me:..... My dad is late, my mum is here, at home.
Vo:... . You don't have your finger prints taken..
Me :... yeah. She didn't ask me, she only tool my sister's own, she Said it's the one she wanted.

VO... Ok, sorry, go back and get it done, then come back. Leave them here.

Me:.. .. I went, it's just next window. The lady attended to me immediately, while I was gone, she started interviewing my Lil sister

VO:....................How are you
My sister:... .. . Fine, thank you
Vo:..... ... ... .. .. What does your father do?
My sister :...... .He is late
Vo:...... ... ..... ...Owh. Sorry for your loss
Vo:... ... .. ....... What does your mummy do.
My sister :...... She is a teacher but she is retired now
Vo:..................(pointing towards my direction) is she your only sister, same parents?
My sister:.. . Yes

I now came back to her window. Gave her back my passport.

Vo:.........Ma'am what did you say you are going to US with your sons and sister.

Me: I repeated same things I told her initially. Not words to words though. I think it's this time I stressed the fact that joining our jet to US will greatly bring down cost for me. And the kid's always asking to travel on holidays like their mates at school...

Vo:.... Unfortunately ma'am... You are not qualified for a visa, go through the paper, bla bla blah... Gave me a yellow paper.

I almost froze, after all the plenty questions? Thought we would have broken the jinx of her not giving out visa this morning, after all the Visa fees for 4.? I ve been so sad since morning though. Didn't wanna talk to anybody. Didn't wanna eat. Been sleeping since then. Just woke up and decided to share this with you my wonderful family.

Please tell me where I went wrong, what could be done to right it. I really want to go with our jet and crew,.. They will be leaving by 2nd or 3rd week of December. (by the way..two of our pilots are Americans, they were begging me to have them send an invitation for us. And be our contact person. Cause I don't know, maybe it's cause I used my cousin or what.) and if I can go with my family, I will be the happiest person on earth. I love my job. And can't even think of leaving my mum here, that will kill her. I and my sister (adopted though) are her only kids. If I can reject every marriage proposals just to be with her and take care of her, why then will I even think of leaving her. If I am ever gonna relocate anywhere, I have to take her there first. no way.

I am just baring my whole heart to you people as I don't know what else to do, who else to talk to. My mum is happy somehow though. I won't mind her.

Will advise you guys should risk it,apply together, do your homework and pray for favour. Who is to say, they might just give both of you.No body knows for sure how these visa officer's mind work,i have read here of plenty husbands and wives that applied together and got it. Nothing ventured,nothing gained.

I want to apply for visa for childbirth....and DH also want to apply for vacation to write a professional exam in the US and to assist me through the rigours of childbirth. It happens that the date of the exam is close to my EDD and he will be around in the US by then. Do you advise that we apply together for visa or we apply separately? I want to be careful so that I don't get bounced cos of this no social ties thing...and this is our first time, and haven't travelled before.

So many ignorant deluded mofos ranting on this thread!

All of you need to repent and surrender your life of Jesus Christ.

Whosoever does not accept and confess Jesus Christ as his Lord and personal Saviour will be sent to the
lake of fire burning with fire and brimstone on the last day.

Repent today and give your life to JESUS CHRIST before it is too late..

JESUS CHRIST IS GOD!!!!!.
