HisEminence:



F2 visa approved
Location: Abuja
Date: 9th of November 2020.

I got to the Consular at some minutes to 7am. I remembered I needed to print a last minute document. After so much bargaining, I paid 10k instantly. Wasn't happy about it but we move anyways.

I approached the entrance and was directed in. I was the fifth person when I entered the building, all F1, except me (F2)

So we were called in, in 3s. So to the interview proper. When I entered the first person on the line was already paying her Reciprocity fee. Every other applicant before me too were granted visa.

Only one VO was attending to us, but he seemed very calm and friendly.
Fast forward to my interview.

VO: Good morning sir.
Me: Good morning.
VO: pass me your passport and i-20 please..
Me: (hands them over)
VO: (on seeing my i-20) wow, your wife is in the U.S
Me: Yes, she is.
VO: What is she studying?
Me: (stammers a bit) She's studying chemistry at Copping state university, Baltimore, Maryland.
I didn't like that how that sounded, so I had to tell me that I stammer at times like this.

VO: (Nods) No problems, just take your time
Me: (in my mind, I was like.... Oshey padi mi. Afolabi, calm down, you gat this)

All this while, I noticed someone else behind him listening to both of us. And he has been there when those before me were interviewed.

Then the VO switched of his mic and turned to start talking with the other guy. Pointing at the system, passport and my i-20 as he's discussing. And the other guy kept nodding and looking at the system as the VO was talking. This lasted for about a minute.

Then VO faces me again.

VO: When did she travel?
Me: 31st of December 2019
VO: Why didn't you travel with her?
Me: I was overseeing a project at the office. I work with the Lagos state government. (I motioned to bring out my staff ID card.)
VO: No need. What do you do?
Me: I am a system administrator and an I.T support officer.

VO turns again and starts discussing with the guy again. This lasted for about 30 seconds

VO faces me again.

VO: Do you have any kids.
Me: Yes, she gave birth to our baby there in the US, just before the lockdown
VO: Oh, Male or Female?
Me: Female
VO: Has she come back to Nigeria since she had the baby?
Me: No, she hasn't
VO: Why are you just applying?
Me: I applied earlier in march, and I got May as my interview date, but it didn't hold.
VO: Were you denied?
Me: No. The appointment was cancelled.
VO: Oh, okay
VO: How did you meet your wife?
Me: I met her through a mutual friend. We met and we liked eachother.
VO: How did they know eachother.
Me: They attended the same school.
VO: When did you meet her?
Me: 2018
VO: when did you get married?
Me: Traditionally and according to Islamic rights, February 2019. And then we proceeded to the registry in Ikoyi, Lagos, in December, to make it official.
VO: Nods
VO: Have you travelled out of the country before?
Me: Yes, I have. We travelled to the UAE together.
VO: How long did you spend there?
Me: About a week.
VO: Like a honeymoon right?
Me: Yes.
VO: Have you been to the US before?
Me: No, not at all


VO turns to his guy again. The discussion again lasted for another 30 seconds.
In my mind, I was like.... my fate is being decided now.
He then faces me again.

VO: (Looks at my i-20 and sees my wife's school fees on it) who is paying your wife's fees?
Me: Her dad.
VO: What does he do?
Me: He's a businessman in the oil and gas sector. He's a CEO of Crowns oil. Also he's a high chief of the Oba of Ikoyi in Lagos.
VO: (Nods) Oh, okay. Makes sense
VO: What does your dad do?
Me: My dad is late, but before he died he was a retired Airforce officer.
VO: Nods. Your application looks okay at this point. Take this white paper, go to the cashier to pay your reciprocity fee, bla bla bla
Me: I was already shinning teeth under my nose mask.

I paid my fee. Went back to the VO to drop the passport and I zoomed out. Got out and I told the others sitting outside all the best.

Hi guys,

Please has anyone heard anything bout F2 visa appointments?

I haven't been able to secure an interview.

Or is it only F1 that can get appointments for now?

Guys I know someone into home relocation. He can also help move bulky stuffs within Lagos. You can call him on 08021685243..

I invested in this guys agriculture business last year.

It was to be for 5 months to cultivate corn and sell when it is dried, and I was to get my returns by October ending 2019.

Since then it has been one excuse or the other, until his number stopped going through and my messages on Whatsapp stopped delivering.

I strongly believe he blocked my number because I messaged him with a friend's number on Whatsapp and the message delivered with double ticks. After that, consequent messages stopped delivering.

Nltaliban:


Can you deliver?

Yes, but where do you stay?

let's discuss better on Whatsapp.

Nltaliban:


Where do you stay?

Hi,

Sango, Otta. That's in Ogun state.

GrabHisBalls:
I get tired of people saying season1,2-4 are boring. It goes a long way to saying, you don't listen to the conversation in movies. How on earth could those seasons that got us glued be boring?

As for those complaining, the show ended perfectly. I expected Sansa/Brandon to free Jon for one excuse or the other, going to the wall was better than being executed. It ended well.

Who realised Dany's fans are the ones complaining? By burning those innocent people, I knew she was going to be killed the GOT. You don't do evil to humanity and live. That's the standard.

For Real.

Scenes with Varys and Little finger, Cersie and Tyrion just makes me pay extra attention and at times I even have to taken it back again to make their double entendre sink in properly.

Do you remember that scene with Varys and Little Finger in the throne room? It has one of the best quotes I love in the show.

"Chaos isn't a pit.
Chaos is a ladder.
Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try it again.
The fall breaks them.
And some are given a chance to climb.
They refuse.
They cling to the realm or the gods or love.
Illusions.
Only the ladder is real.
The climb is all there is."

Who could ever fault that!

Who could ever sleep through that!

That is how a conversation is written!

The fact it was so inline with the whole sh*tloads of events unfolding at that moment makes it even more beautiful.

I'm just gonna say it: GRRM is a freaking genius!

LilSmith55:


Chop knuckle..... As in, the 1st and 2nd Season... Na every 10min i dey sleep.... E borin die

Ha boring?

That means you prefer actions to the power talks.

Because season 1 and 2 had great conversations.

It was where you really got to see the game of thrones being played.

If you play the game of thrones, you win or you die.

That was when we were really getting to realize what the heck we were in for.

Even though Season 8 didn't quite reach out expectations, it still remains one of the greatest series of all time.

Kudos to everyone who worked on it.

BTW, don't let that distract you from the fact that I sell some pretty affordable GOT themed bracelet and pendant for any house you associate with.

Stark, Baratheon, Targaryen, Lannister....we've got them all.

Psady:
Jon killing Dany was not good storyline by the D&,she should have died accidentally, if cercei was murdered it would have been a plus to the show.but it happened other way round.so in summary D& just made us believe cercei was better of.

They promised a bittersweet ending.

This is a bitterdumb ending.

Seems it was an ALL-STARK win at the end.....

I'm starting to like the idea of a re-run.

Well, the 8 seasons fight for the throne was just like those musical chairs who used in parties back in the days. And of course the person who wins and get to sit on it is the one who was sitting the whole time.

And of course you can't get your chair stolen if you never stand up.

Pure logic!

All Hail, King Bran the Broken!

Semtu:


Bro, they couldn't use the original set because they had to burn down buildings for real. Those buildings Drogon burnt down were burnt for real, it's not CGI.


They weren't allowed to destroy the buildings in the original KL set so they had to build a whole new kings landing in Spain before shooting the last episode.

That's true.

I just watched the video detailing how that happened.

Imagine designing and building a city all to raze it down.

That must have been a heck of a budget they got.

babalonshee:
how much is the bracelet plus I stay in Ilorin

The bracelet goes for 1000 naira...

Send me a message on Whatsapp to talk about delivery...

This is going to be pretty great seeing as it is from the same producer of Two and Half Men.

I recommend you watch Two and A Half Men if you need a show that is both funny and relaxing. I have the entire seasons on my Laptop. I've rewatched for almost 20 times and still don't get tired of it. It helps me relax after a tasking day work.

I saw a blog earlier today say she was faking the Nigerian accent. Like seriously?

Did You Notice that Game of Thrones Steathily Changed the Geography of King's Landing?

The old King's Landing was built on a small peninsula and protected at the flank by hilly forests.

Now, we've got a giant flat swath of land with enough room to assemble an army making an appearance before the very end of the last season.

Why?

Well, the city of Dubrovnik in Croatia was originally used for shooting the 'real world' King's Landing scenes. The shooting set was later changed to Spain. The showrunners haven't come out to say why exactly the change was made as far as I know.

Just look at how D& spoilt Dany's character all in their haste to round up.

The events that occured in season 8 should have panned out over 2 more seasons.

Anyway, I sell super affordable GOT themed unisex bracelet and pendant for any house you associate with.

Stark, Lannister, Baratheon, Targaryen, Martell, Greyjoy, Arryn...we've got them all.

Seun:
I’m beginning to agree with the people that say Dany is not fit to rule. If the only thing keeping a king from massacring thousands of totally innocent people is the advice of his/her current advisors, then the king is not fit to rule in a civilized society, since there’s no guarantee that the advisors will always be there.

If people like Jorah, Ser Barristan and Tyrion had not been advising Dany, she would have done something like this a long time ago. I would not want to have such a person ruling over me. They underestimated her. We all did. We thought the pretty little lady was just spitting fire when she threatened to burn cities. She wasn’t.

I disagree with your second paragraph. She always had that maternal instinct in her. She was a liberator. She was called Myssa. Look at the scene when she was so sorrowful over the death of the little girl Drogon killed. Which led her to chaining up her other two children - I pretty hard decision she had to make.

I just think it gets to a point in life when we get to our breaking point and just snap.

playboy99:
whthat is ok or tomorrow if it posible

Since you aren't online, you can give me a call so we'd sort out logistics.

Again, I'm sorry it can only be possible next week.

Did you know there were three different actors who played Ser Gregor Clegane (The Mountain)?

When did you notice?

For me, I noticed right in season 2 when The Mountain came to see Tywin in Harenhall.
But I was super confused after seeing him and was like they def must be talking about a different Cleagane.

The first one was Conan Stevens. He bailed with little notice to go be on The Hobbits. As Faith would have it, his character ended up being replaced with CGI. Imagine loosing on both ends. Now, that's what I call Karma.

My Thoughts
I think he was best suited for the role , he had this super mean face. Just look at that bad*ss scene where he chopped off his horse's head after his tilt with the Knight of Flowers (Loras Tyrell).

The second one was Ian Whyte. He was already working on the show as a stunts man/white walker. He played the role of the giant Wun Wun. He was shown in season 2 in Harrenhall with Tywin's escort.

My Thoughts
He looks like one day the directors forgot they had a scene with The Mountain in it and just switched to the tallest Opo ina guy they could find on set to play the role.

The third one is Hafpor Bjornsson. He was the final replacement we got to see fight the viper (Oberyn Martell) and all through to the end.

My Thoughts
I think he looks like The Mountain quite alright - just a more polite one. ........

Okay I'm just going to come out and say he's like a supernatural giant teddy bear.

BTW....Don't let that distract you from the fact that I sell some pretty awesome GOT themed unisex pendant and bracelet.
