Thank you @ KaptainAfrika,
(1) Know that I am not desperate, and me applying for DV lottery as for me do not show desperation since DV lottery is free for all to apply for, and if the VO is judging me based on this, i think this is unfair as many people that have applied for DV lottery and have the same issue with me have gotten B1/B2 visa.

(2)I have to travel to turkey so that I can redeem the voucher (flight ticket) given to me from work that will expire in may (5 months expiration period: January to May 2016).... its a free ticket voucher and we taught of using it to travel to US if we were granted that what made us apply in February 2016 and after denial , we then used it in April so wont loose i wont loos the voucher.

So in December 2016, we decided to apply again and was denied

(3)The VO never ask "why are you desperate to go to US"
------He asked where do you want to visit in USA: chicago |VO said OK
-------where do you want to visit there: Bleep, Bleep, Bleep |VO said OK
-------do you have any relative in USA: No (and honestly NO) | VO said OK

he started typing, stopped typing and starring at his computer for like a minute. and just bring out blue paper and said sorry your visa cannot be granted now, reapply....

Chikena, thats why i said can I choose another state asides chicago that i chose before?
cos there is another bonus (voucher in he making for me) thats why i wanted to reapply

XX01:
I have a contrary view. Don't reject ITA. They listed it there that if circumstances should change, recalculate and ensure you would still meet the draw cut off. If you would, then delete the trade certificate and move on with the process.

Oluwapelumi87:
@salford1 I want you to know that every insult and lie you throw my way you are throwing at God. I really pity you and I really advice you to go and kneel down and ask God to forgive you. You are showing yourself to be really heartless, and a true example of what is wrong with Nigeria. Yes, you are right you are under no obligation to help me, so as you have sown so you shall reap.

Hysea:
@seyewest thanks for your response, I AV only bin to Ghana nd Benin republic, I work with a telecoms as a data analyst specialist , I'm single and don't have kids . may I ask , must one be married and have kids before one can be granted a us visiting visa

beelove:
I need your candid advice as a first time traveler to USA, before I book Lagos to New York(JFK) on Etihad airways as I will be traveling in September 2017.Has anyone flew Etihad airways lately? and where would be their point of entry.

ExpressBooking:
Thanks everyone on this thread,I really appreciated the advice and suggestions by all towards my interview today June 13th 2017. Though I was denied but it was fun adding that experience to life.

My transcript goes thus;
VO: Where are you going in the US
Me: New York
VO: What are going to do?
Me: Vacation
VO: What do you do?
Me: I am the Managing director of .... and we do car importation and sales from US
VO: Have you traveled out of Nigeria before?
Me: Not at all
VO: Do you have friends or family in the US
Me: Friends
VO: Do you intend to do any business in US?
Me: Well as an online buyer from IAA Auctions in US, I might take time out to visit two Auction locations in NY just for fun.
VO: How many cars have you imported from US?
Me: Over 60 cars this year alone
VO: How much do you intend to travel with on ur trip?
Me: about $10k
VO: I am sorry you are not approved for US Visa bla bla... and hands me the blue paper and my passport

Note: My passport is virgin. The lady was busy refusing people and I was praying on the queue that they shouldn't direct me to her and they did. Lessons learnt and experience acquired. I will try visiting UK before US again.

stargirlprod:

keni:

Or as u fill form finish...one computer go dey find millions of processed applications to find which one be ur sibling.

Chordata:
are you guys doubting the score? it's not that hard to imagine if this person is a CLB 10 with an MSc.

Eija:
i just used the CRS calculator and i scored 486 points

Charmingdivah:
25% can be accessed when you are out of job for not less than four months...you visit the PFA with required documents to claim this and it's not processed immediately.

Charmingdivah:
Please don't be deceived...you can't have access to 100% of funds in your RSA...25% is what the Pensions Act states and this can only be applied for four months after you are out of work.

The question we should as ourselves is: would the 25% be accessed before we submit our application post ITA and would it be sufficient to meet CIC's requirement for the program under which we are applying?The answer most likely is NO! as Most people here are still employed an as such this would proof a difficulty.

Be it known that You can only access 100% upon retirement and that too has conditions to be met and hence does not satisfy the requirement of funds being free from encumbers...(if not we would have being allowed to borrow).

Also the PFA is not the VO who holds a final decision on what constitute proof of funds

edababa007:
Pension fund is allowed. I went to my PFA ( IBTC Pensions Managers) to confirm if only 25% of my account balance can be considered as POF for Canada PR Visa. I was informed that the total balance in my account would be considered. That though 25% is considered for those that are out of work and still in Nigeria. 100% is considered for those applying for Canada PR.

eldaygee:
WRONG!!

salford:
This thread is something sha... the op sef is nowhere to be found..lol

i believe in people going after whatever makes them happy or whatever rocks their boat. Some are making it in Nigeria, and some are making it overseas. Some are finding it tough in both countries too. Some are enjoying both world. e.g i met a Nigerian this week. He would have returned to lagos by now. He works in the oil industry in Nigeria but bought a house in an high brow area in Calgary where his wife and kids live......I doubt if this oga would leave his job in naija if he doesnt get something close to his level in Canada.
Might be a career suicide for him if he tries to without something solid in Canada.
But then again..how many people can top companies in Nigeria employ?

In my opinion, If you are middle class in Nigeria, you really have nothing to lose when you migrate...but if you are upper middle class above in Nigeria, can afford security, good health care or can afford to travel for health care like bubu , overseas holidays e.t.c...one would need to think it well.

Would someone earning 400k per month in nigeria be considered upper middle class or middle class?
This would also depend on family size too.

Alikote:
infact several Nigerian musician moved to Nigeria to make it big ....dbanj will have still be guarding in the uk in the freezing cold but now he has several guards in this lekki home....how about banky around returnee

Alikote:
but uk visa visit dont allow work and employees cant hire u without work permit they are even fine up to 10 k pound ...so d banj ,don jazzy wizkid ,davido e money all come to the uk to flip bugger or which celeb

Pidgin2:
So you own property in a "hell hole"? You still had the guts to say (unfortunately) you still have family here lol, it's you who has lost your place that is unfortunate not them, you who will be buried in a foreign land is the unfortunate one and not them.

For someone very comfortable in Canada as you have tried to make gullible people feel, you seem quite jobless to me. Keep waiting for me to answer your silly questions and while in the process of waiting patiently continue mentioning my post from now until you desire to receive sense


The western technology that you are taking pride in and going on about has made more people solitary individuals(yourself inclusive) than ever before, more people are obese especially in your society and dying of various associated mental, psychological and physical diseases because they won't quit using it even for a few hours and go out doors to bask in nature (fresh air and sunlight)

Many criminals get ready made ideas to carry out terrible crimes just by a single click, so yeah I'll take nature if I had just two options.

Whether you believe it or not with N400K monthly salary in Nigeria, the OP is fortunate. He can become a house owner in a very short time.

I expect another jobless Canadian or desperado Nigerian to quote me with their frozen senses.

youngestland:
Firstly
I like your reply this is maturity unlike those that will comw and abuse my life

The guy in nigeria and the gate man may earn the same salary when you change the dollar to naira but the gateman doesnt stay in nigeria his expenses will be way higher than the professional the nigeria guy will be able to save 2.4million a year in nigeria with that money he can live for 1 year but convert that money to dollar it bcomes 6k that money will not be enough for him for two months...... the gateman will not be able to even save a dime

I think many people dont know this before they leave for the states they are carried away with the conversion till they get there

Sir 400k every month in nigeria is not small money sir thats someone salary in a year in nigeria and the person still gets by, but 400k in yankee is 1000 dollars is very small money

unless you work in usa and lives in nigeria then I can say you are on point which is not possibe
I agree opportunity is low in nigeria standard of living is low is low too there are no infrastructure sef but I believe if you have the means to create a good life for yourself I believe its better you stay back

thank you

youngestland:
hehehehehehehe where do you buy your cars ooooooooooooo Ihave been driving a car for 2 years all I v done is change oil and filter andbi use it everyday to work if you doubt go to car talk section on nairaland abi where you dey stay bad like that

youngestland:
please read and understand I said the man with 400k salary every month can reduce some of the expenses I wrote up there for example dstv instead of full package he goes for 10k package and he will still have great channels and watch live football he has saved 5k also for his car maintainence he cant spend 20k a month if he has a good car some months he wont even spend nothing on maintainence

for the medical thing huh tell me something a company that can pay entry level 400k wont sort out medicals abegi when even chinco companies here sorts out medicals please tell us the company let me quickly make money from them

youngestland:
school fees for someone not married?
Do you spend 20k on car maintainence every month please throw that car away it will kill you

medicals ...,,a company that can pay 400k salary would have medicals sorted out for you abi I lie

youngestland:
wow are these expenses hissssssssssss

rent 0 he stays in his own house
petrol for car 20k gen 2k because in has solar
car maintenance 20k
phcn 8k
feeding 50k
security in an estate 10k
dstv 15k
phone internet bill 5k
other expenses 20k

total is 150k even if he has to pay rent 50k for a mini flat in a good area so total 200k he has 200k left

And nigerians will agree with me that we can actually cut most of this bills down and still live well like dstv car maint etc
you guys have left nigeria too long to know whats obtainable here
a man wiith 400k job here is better than the man with 3k dollars in america ifu disagree pls break down expenses with 3k dollars in yankee for all to see

SammyAx:
I met him in 2010, and I had to leave for graduate school in 2012. We continued dating and he visited me in the U.S as often as he could. After one of such visits, i discovered he had used my laptop to watch pornography. We had a fight, broke up, then made up again.

I am currently studying for my Doctorate and my greencard application (thru sister) is pending, therefore, i cannot travel out of the country now. So last year we decided to do our wedding in the U.S, and he and his family went to my family in Nigeria to pay my bride price.

My dad gave them a small price because he said we don't need their money and he is not selling me. But the problem was that the boxes of items they were to bring for me ended up being all cheap stuff, not even one single set of gold jewelry. My mum was unhappy and embarrassed, and i was terribly unhappy too. His excuse was that they didn't think the stuff would actually get to me since i am far away. My mum actually sent some of the stuff to me to see for myself. So we got into a huge fight and didn't speak for weeks. I later reached out to try and sort out our differences but he now says that he doesn't want to get married anymore.

I am distraught and embarrassed to even tell my family now because i had to fight for him and stand on my decision despite their hesitations. Is this relationship worth fighting for at all anymore? Do I deserve this after all this time?
