Thanks house. I landed at the Tom Bradley International Terminal in Los Angeles. The CBP officer did not ask me a single word before stamping me for six months. (Maybe he had his reasons) Summit is over but still chilling. It's a beautiful country I swear. But still home coming next weekend. #Salute

Got my $$ @firstbankngr. They just made copies of my passport data page...Visa...my Lagos state tax clearance card......my BVN card.....and my flight ticket. Told me to deposit the Naira in my account I left and this Was on Monday. Then on Wednesday I was called to pick my $$ cash....@N315. Cool stuff.

Hmmm...after looting the state and having backlash of salaries unpaid. He still continue his showmanship kaakiri. He has his game tight no doubt, this is Nigeria and nothing will happen to him and his likes at the end of the day. But for the youths of today to claim he is their hero or proclaim him next president just for eating in public or riding Okada to office or for including the chairman of Okada riders as part of the state Economic think-tank such youth or anyone born in the late 70's or 80's should remember he is eating away their future. Lets leave this man and his likes and come together to grandstand our own party devoid of all these fools that have taken us nowhere. The time is now..! Leave them all and lets take the future now cos it belongs to us.!

Graciàs

Please I have naira and I need dollars. Anyone with a good rate please lets talk

You don't have to book the same hotel for your conference, the most important thing is attending the conference and spending the remaining 2 weeks as part of your vacation.. If you can convince the V.O great for you...

I already got the Visa just incase at the POE.

I don't think any reference was made to allude that citizens should avoid Kaduna Airport but emphasis was laid on Kaduna State. All major airlines have already sent notifications of a shift to Kaduna Airport. So what's the fuss all about. They are only concerned about the safety of their citizen given all that's emanating from Kaduna and esp the Southern Kaduna Issue which is what every responsible govt should care about.

My summit in the US is planned for April 3 to 6. The summit is taking place in the hotel I am told to book by the summit organisers but f**kin expensive yet I booked. I want to spend another two weeks remaining on my vacation still in the same state where the summit is going to be held. I have booked another very cheap hotel to cater for the two weeks. Hope my plans are in order...?

Raw Dollar

Please house

At the POE after I declare my BTA, will they check the balance on my GTBank MasterCard.?

Thanks

@Omobendel, Seyewest, Lady G, KaptainAfrika.....

What's dis rumour of people being turned back at POE when they enter the US through some Arab airline Emirates, Qatar, Turkish et al.

Any truth in this..? Although I don't believe it

Pray for Nigeria

To what end.....so people no dey pray since 1960 abi na God deaf...?

Its no news, the Present US travel policy is having a negative effect on Nigerian travellers. According to information from two of my friends (both came back from the US recently) while on a stopover in Turkey and UAE, they came across a number of Nigerians deported from the US point of entries, based on various flimsy excuses. Now the Scrutiny is very intense and phones are being checked, if possible avoid travelling with a smart phone that might bring out unexpected details about you. Travel light and be careful with who you gist with on the plane. Like it or not, I guess Nigeria is the 8th country being affected by the travel ban. Better to be denied a visa than to be treated like a common criminal at the point of entry simply cos u are with a Nigerian passport.

Like the Nigerian we are, we are struggling to shaa get on the Trump list by fire by force. Keep it up.

No matter what u think or who got it based on their waka waka to Europe. Everyone in my family got their visas without any travel history. Visas are issued on a "case by case" basis where travel history can play a part or otherwise.
When I said "Tell ur own story" I meant say ur reasons with confidence and at the end u might be successful because no one knows the basis upon which they are issued. But to hammer on travel history I repeat is a fraud.

Its no fight at all.....all Jonathan's supporters are as dumb as he is. Bring him back..nobody dey stop you lets see how dumber he gets. All his supporters should get a life...all tthis mess we find ourselves now is his doing. Keep hailing him n don't forget to hit the streets on Monday

I don't know y people keep hammering on travel history with all the transcripts shared on this thread...pity....ur access or refusal of entry into the US is based primarily on ur Interview with the VO. (maybe Gods favor) and always tell ur own story. To keep hammering on travel history is wrong info please.

But wait oooo how dem go be unknown persons

Then we were living in Otta. Doing my assignment in fear of Mr. Hassan's cane in Iganmode Grammar school. Suddenly the dors started to open n close with each bang.....due to the distance it was more like a thunderstorm but the ground was shaking. But RIP to the dead.

Those who made bomb don craze ooooo

[quote author=lucas101 post=53113483]Thanks to the house for the Immense help I got to secure my visa to attend a Summit in the US. My question is this....my summit in in California from the 5-10 of March. I intend to go through Newyork to sight see few places and also make bookings from 20th Feb-20March. After the summit I'd return to NYC to return home.

Please can I do this..

Ralfoosha:
You've got swaggz sha! lol.
I swear, attitude 1st, the rest of the interview follows suit. And it makes sense what all gurus have been saying about being truthful/ honest, you'll naturally be confident.
Congratulations, you didn't waste money.

Thanks.....

A very big thank you to all the gurus in the house I have been a silent reader until I asked a question yesterday. I was scheduled for 10.15am today but the crowd was less so I was interviewed at about 9.30am. Here is my transcript which was less than a minute:

VO: Good morning
Me: Good morning with a stern face
VO: So why are you going to the US..?
Me: I am attending Bleep summit organised by
Bleep
VO: Are you married.?
Me: Yeah with a lovely boy and expecting
anoda by September.
VO: Why is the summit important to you.?
Me: I just got promoted and it will help me fit
into my new role.
VO: Okay. Please pick ur passport in d circled
address after three working days. (I was
happy but kept a cool face)
Me: Thank you.

Weda the pikin is before or after wedding....who are you to judge....as if u guys are holier. And who told you she wont make heaven or have problems in her marriage. Bed weda defiled or undefiled is a personal thing....you don't have to go about lording it over others. Religion is simply politics and what improvement has it given us as a nation. At independence we had just 6 xtian missions and the country progressed now more than a million missions here and there yet corruption n the worst unimaginable things happen albeit right inside this missions. Those people who led this country to this precipice I want to believe they go to church n religious houses. Just like the great Plato postulated " My Son Know Thyself"........#keepjudging #keepplayingGod

tzetzefly:
Hope it was not entered knowingly? Since you were not picked for the Diversity Lottery, you seem to be in luck here. Apply, and sin no more.

Thanks for the response I hope the VO's think in dsame direction.

seyewest:
Why did you tried the DV lottery with a wrong date of Birth?

I listened to all sorts of input if asked I want to come out with the truth that I listened to all sorts of input. How far will my plea go

I once tried the diversity visa way back in 2012 with a wrong date of birth n now my passport bears the correct date of birth. I did not win in d lottery but now 2017, married with kids and a good job n wants to attend a conference in Georgia. Do I stand, will my past error not haunt me. Plz advice
