[Hello everyone,

I had my interview today at US Lagos embassy and my visa was denied instantly without asking questions.

The transcript went like this:
VO: (immediately she saw my I-20) who’s sponsoring you?
Me: My uncle, he’s the CEO of …. They manufacture window blinds and aluminum windows for government and non government entities
VO: what do you do?
Me: I work as a business development executive with so so company.
VO: how much do you earn?
Me: I earn so so amount

VO: I’m sorry we can’t issue your visa

I was like dumbfounded because she didn’t ask about school and all that.

What did I do wrong?

Before the interview started, the person I did my finger print was already like “my passport photo is more than 6 months, bring a new passport when next you come” like she already knew I was going to be denied. Mind you, I took the passport photograph in April and I filled ds-160 in August/September

I also attached my I-20 to this comment, please view it and revert back what could go wrong.

I’m also trying to get in contact with Lagosismyhome. If you see this, kindly drop a contact I can reach you on.

Thank you as I will be waiting for everyone response

Look at your i20. Answers to your questions are in there. You even said it’s your uncle that is sponsoring and you presented family funds as your proof of funds. My brother you complicated your matter

Dear friends, you have no idea what tech guys are making in the US. As a software engineer working in the US, I know a couple of SWE friends and colleagues (mostly in FAANG) who make more than this every month. So I don't think the VO felt that figure was over-bloated. Just because you do not make such figure, you shouldn't assume that tech guys in the US are not being paid that amount of money, especially for someone like his brother with over 10years of work experience in tech.

Did you get the message at all. The big question here I think IMO!! is that are you sure the very company he mentioned his brother works in. Do they pay up to that amount. The VO knows better my friend

There are lots of examples...Have sold one 13pin gearbox for a nairalander before...by name Afam...after installation his gearbox couldnt shift from gear 1 diagnosed by mech as brainbox issue....brainbox was changed and it was so smooth,have had two of his oda Uber contact me...i believe i still have his testimony

My friend you speak gibberish. If you guys in that stupid market of yours don’t understand something just learn to always shut up.

When you don’t have tools you claim it’s a rewire issue. I laugh in Spanish. Same way your unlearned mechanic was or was it you that instructed him to remove a transmission filter. The earlier you realise those mechanics you contract jobs out to fix the U151E transmission and it’s successors do more damage the better for your business

Thank you so much for the feedback. I guess I can see how the VO could have felt if you all feel that way here.

Coincidentally, my brother’s salary is not bloated at all if anything the $15k I mentioned for him is a little less than what he makes monthly. He is about 10 years older than me, a US citizen and well established in his tech career in the US.

For My dad you will notice I only mentioned 20M for last month for him based on his harvest. Maybe what I should have done is account for every other month he doesn’t sell as much and dropped his monthly to about 3M instead.

For my mom I should have done a similar thing as well.

I went in prepared to talk about annual salaries, so when VO asked for monthly I started recalculating on the spot. In total the funds available to me were more than double what I needed per year. I can trim that down to only my dad as my sponsor for next time.

Dear friend. No need to contest this. I still maintain the over bloated figure caused the denial. Can’t you see it was shortly the VO asked you where your brother works and you told her and you further went to say 15k usd. My friend the VO knows what’s the real take home of techs in that company. Am sure you are missing something here

*Please read through my experience, and kindly share any recommendations for positive results next time.*


Me: Good morning ma’am
VO: Good morning, please can you hand over your passport and I-20? (I handed it over through the space created to give documents)
VO: can you tell me what your program is about?
Me: it’s an LLM program in Intellectual property law, it’s an area of law made to protect the rights of creatives and this includes their craft, literal work or music in order for their rights to not be infringed by unauthorized persons
VO: okay, so who is finding this program
Me: my parents and brother
VO: what do they do for a living starting with your brother
Me: my brother is a cyber security expert at XYZ(big multinational TECH company), my mum is a textile trader and my dad retired as a GM of a company into his commercial farming business
VO: what is their monthly income
Me: my brother’s annual income...
VO: no I want his monthly income
Me: oh his monthly income is about $15,000, my mum’s monthly depends on the quantity of textiles sold a month but about N2.5m and my dad is in his harvest period and this month alone he made N20m from sales of his produce
VO: okay, how much do you make a month?
Me: 250,000
VO:Is that in naira
Me: yes 250,000 naira. I am a lawyer
VO: Oh you're a lawyer, how many years now
Me: 2 years
VO: okay, have you traveled before?
Me: yes, I’ve traveled to Dubai and other African countries while I was younger for the holidays
Officer: okay
……..typing something for about a minute……
Officer: I’m sorry the US immigration service won’t be granting you a US visa and the reasons behind this decision has been revealed on this piece of paper ( handed over my passport and a blue piece of paper)
Me: okay, thank you
Officer: you’re welcome and have a nice day

You gave an all round over bloated figures. These guys are experienced world wide and know what obtain in every part of the world

That is why i said ur his friend...what case will be left to judge after gearbox replacement....baba has to come forward...there is no going back..baba has already called me a thief and a scammer...Dozie if i have problem with ur product i will sort with u..and if i feel u want to defraud me i will make a formal complaint..so let him come and lodge a complaint...and tell the taskforce how i have taken his money..Changing of gearbox is always the last resort when the gearbox wouldnt not work even afta adjustments ..if the issue is with the car if u put anoda gearbox same thing will happen....my converter is still with him..since the last time the mechanic went to sango,yet he says am not finding solutions..i simply stopped making effort because he was out of the country simple...U have seen the chat...i have always had a peaceful convo with him...so i dont know where all this is coming from....u saw the screenshot of the last chat we had...from him travelling to benin to making claims of me been a thief
If he is back from benin let him come to the market so we see face to face...if he trust wat he is saying...it is not too much to ask...

Am finding it difficult to write. But I think at this stage I must be forced to. So that car owners like the complainant and the seller can learn one or two things from this.

Frankly writing these are one major challenge(s) car mechanics usually face on this field just like what is playing out. Your warranty comes with your mecho fixing the gear box by himself. Transmission never worked, not just for a day. If you are knowledgeable and likewise your mecho knows his onions he would have told you what a filter does in a transmission and how important it is to a transmission’s life. You part sellers just rubbish us most times on this job and this isn’t far fetched from this same scenario playing out. You think your mechanic knows that job. Think again sir. Countless of times have seen this guys manhandle installation of the simple and easily fixed U151E, U150E, U250E, U600E, U600F transmissions. Excuse me sir there is no AJE( wizard) rewire any where

Now imagine this job going through the complainant’s mechanic. It’s gonna be complainant vs his mechanic, might be digging it out in the police station where that officer doesn’t even know how a vehicle moves grin While his mechanic continues to go back and forth wasting time, resources and man power. In the end fatigue sets in and the mechanic would eventually be helpless

Learn one or two things from this if you care to. Replace transmission for the client. After this don’t go back to bed to sleep. Take out time to find out what went wrong on the other transmission, that teaching can help you choose better when selecting transmissions to be put up for sale

Car owners too can take a cue from this. That a mechanic was able to pull out a transmission within 15mins doesn’t mean he is good. Professionals would take more time doing this especially with what’s playing up there because there are a lot serious approaches used in buying some of this parts especially in our local markets

Don’t let me bore you brother if an engine and transmission can be sent more than 50k kilometers away down to Nigeria on an order and worked perfectly well more than expectations then what actually is the problem in our local markets here which are more or less stone throws away from us.

I own a business here in Nigeria. Which I will be going and coming back to monitor. Please all advice and contributions will be appreciated.

Please I need expert advice on the issue I'm facing currently
It's a 2008 Accord EX-L V6
I'm experiencing misfire, petrol appears to be discharging directly on the cylinders (you can smell petrol strongly in the cabin and exhaust, smokes)...this is causing hard start until the petrol burns off completely and the engine revs itself to about 2000rpm even when it's idling....also, there's loss of power sometimes and the check engine light blinks
If the car is allowed to test for a while, when you start the engine, it appears ok but a minute later, the engine just starts to rev itself and then immediately you start smelling petrol all over
Fuel consumption is insane
Plugs, ignition coils, injector noozles have all been changed but the problem remains....even ignition timing has been checked. Scan results always show misfire related codes only.

Sign of a leaking intake valve. This results to an Incomplete combustion. A relative compression test should reveal what’s going on. Get a professional not quacks
