I give God the glory, because he did it. I had my interview yesterday and was successful. I challenged God and he did it all. He showed me he is the GREATEST.

Thanks To All Members Of The House!!

Emblem: @Mofella, u don't have to upload it. U can go with two passport photo of the embassy's specification. Also there are photographers at the Embassy (Lagos) car park. I took mine there on friday and it cost N1,500 for 6 copies. Wish u all the best.

Emblem: Hello Everyone,

It was nice to be part of this great forum. My B1/B2 visa was approved today. I am so grateful to God and to everyone that contribute to this thread. @tzetzefly is an amazing guy. At a point i felt he works at the embassy...lol. The questions from the VO was all centered around my friend that invited me and also about my job. The big white guy at window 9 didn't grant visa to anyone throughout the entire 1hr:20mins i spent at the embassy

Interview Venue: Lagos.
Interview Time: 8:30am(But got to my turn like 10am)

VO: Good moring Mr Bleep (With a smile)
Me: Good moring sir.
Vo: I can see you are going to houston, Texas. why?
Me: I am going to spend my annual leave with my friend since i couldn't make it to his wedding last year due to my busy schedule.
Vo: what is your friends name?
Me: His name is blah blah
Vo: How long have you been friends?
Me: Since i was a kid. We are childhood friends.
Vo: So Are u married?
Me: I am married.
Vo: I can see u are going alone, why isn't ur wife going with u?
Me: She just a new job and she isn't entitled to a leave yet.
Vo: When did you marry?
Me: 3 months ago (June)
Vo: Any kids?
Me: Not yet.
Vo: So tell me about your job, u sounded like a busy person (That was a green light for me. lol)
Me: I am a System Administrator for XYZ Company.
Vo: What is your job role?
Me: A,B,C,D...........
VO: What is the staff strenght of your office?
Me: 200 in Nigeria.
Vo: So u've got other branches?
Me: We are located in 11 countries.
Vo: Great (Another green light for me....)So tell me what your friend does and where he works?
Me: blah blah
Vo: How old is your friend? (I knw i am a year older than my friend but at that point the issue was that i forgot my own age for some seconds b4 i later did my calculations.....lol)
Me: He is XX years old.

The white guy smiled at me and said " Congratulations, your visa has been approved, you can pick up your visa on.........."

Its all God because i really can't xplain. There are people that have more genuin reasons for going to the US but yet got denied. Imagine, a wife of a VC of a University was denied, a sick laddy limping was denied.

NB: Pls maintain eye contact, be confident answer questions without .........."ehm", "ehn".....Above all, Pray to God for favour. Thanks T

God bless you all.

floralgal: @Mofella tnx 4 ur reply. So u think am good to go, even with no travel history? Can i add my shaes certificates as ties to Nigeria too.

Mofella: You can surely go with no travel history,there are a lot of testimonies to that.

As regards your share certificates, that is not in anyway a tie, you can be anywhere in the world and receive dividends on your shares and even sell the shares,so its not a tie.

A good job and Husband should be sufficient.

tayoamos: i was granted a visiting visa 3 months ago ( 2 years multiple), and i went to the usa for the purpose for which i requested for the visa, spent just 7 days there before i returned. now, my wife and 2 kids,( ages 2 and 4) are desiring to attend a wedding in the usa next year June, and i will be going with them. how do we go about filling the ds-160 and paying the visa fee ?
1) do we fill their ds-160 forms seperately, remember the kids are ages 2 and 4
2) do we pay the same visa fee for all of them? FEE OF 27,200 each?
3) can i follow them for the interview, to speak for them?
4) should we tell the VO i will be following them to the USA for the wedding? or i tell the VO i will stay back in nigeria (as a tie back home), while they go, OR will i sound well i tell the VO i will be going with them ?........... we have just 7 days to spend there while we all return back
pls help

Thnks. God bless

keni: Hello tzetzefly,

You are doing a really good Job here, as regards Maddock's question, is South Africa and Dubai not enough travel experience because I have read through out this thread that it (Lack of travel experience) might be a reason for refusal.

@Maddock is there a way you can share with the house transcript from the successfull applicant in your group? from all I have read so far in this forum, you meet all the criteria but I think that transcript from the successful ones may throw more light into the thinking of the official

ivee2210: ....Of which I am such. (Though I've travelled out as an infant, twas not asked by the CO).
All the best!

tayoamos: Alot of people in that category, including me

tzetzefly: Quite a lot. A virgin passport so to say, does not prevent a visa issuance. A lack of home ties does.

tzetzefly: She can apply with her maiden name.

The newspaper publication will suffice.

Any other info required, she should be able to explain to the CO.

Since she has her ties intact, she will be good to go.

tzetzefly: What is your question?
