Oh okay but this thread is for U.S Non immigrant visa applicant and people with U.S visa.

You need the username and password of your profile.
it's DS-160 form not DV and you should beg your agent to give you all the necessary info without that there's nothing we can do.

I have read all what has been discussed here..there are some elements of truth in what those saying America or other western world is not what most peeps in Nigeria think of it ..they are very correct that life is not easy,they are very correct about some people being out of job even after graduating,they are right in saying most things owned are on via credit card and stuffs like that and they are also right that there are homeless people all over the western world..i totally agree,but if i may ask is there any country that is 100% good?..i doubt it but there are numerous countries that are better than Nigeria..and what i wont also agree to is that it is better to remain in Nigeria if you have a legal immigrant opportunity to live in any western world.

Difference is,you are given the enabling environment to succeed in anything you work hard and is determined to do without political,tribal and religious attachments we have in Nigeria.In western world like America,your kids have future and know where they are heading to,if you get serious and take a deep breath you will rediscover your new potential and dive towards it and make a decent living,yes agreed that some drive cabs in the US for 30yrs but thats what they chose to do and are lazy to try something better,he has been driving cab for 30yrs and some that came from Nigeria 5yrs ago decided to enroll in RN courses took sleepless nights to study and graduate and are making good money..some came from same Nigeria and went into trade skills education and came out took some time and established their own workshops and make money..some came and looked at the market structure of the city and labor demand and decided to take the pains to switch to a different thing...statistics have it that Nigerians are the most educated and most industrious of all immigrants in the US..and they are all doing well.Okonjo iwuala is yet to return fully back to Nigeria and she schooled in the US started her career in the US and got to where she is now cos of the US..she didn't achieve that in Nigeria.Our Nigerian politicians kids all came to school in the US and so many remained to work in the US..they aint driving any cab or work in walmart...Regina Askia with all her miss Nigeria and nollywood celebrity got to US and went back to school to study Nursing and today she works as an RN..she ain't working in Macdonalds.

ladys and gents here,you need to explore in other to discover to recover your potentials...i wont advise you to enter any country as an illegal or undocumented cos it would be so hard for you that you will wish you are back home in Nigeria..but if you have a legal means to enter the US please take the chance...Nigeria is not even supposed to be on the list of countries in the map.You may never be a Dangote in the US but you will sure have a better life than those in Nigeria..building houses and buying cars in Nigeria is what we see as a measure of success which is why Nigeria is what it is today..values have gone and mediocrity replaced it.It is better to be in US ,aim high and miss rather than be in Nigeria aim low and hit.

life is not all rosy any where but its more gloomy in Nigeria that anywhere else.By the way i live in Canada legally and visit the US often.We enjoy somethings the US don't enjoy but the US dont have to live in giant freezer like us.

I guess you mean DS 160? Head over here: https://ceac.state.gov/GenNIV/Default.aspx . Select a location (Abuja or Lagos), type in the captcha code then click on Start An Application. The form questions are pretty straightforward.

When you are done with the form, head over to http://www.ustraveldocs.com/ng/. You do your appointment stuff there.

I don't have answers to other questions, the gurus here can help out with that.

Thanks.

cconcept:
b]Employers will at the first instance ask you about your legal status and work rights before offering you a job which you do not have with your visit visa status. However,are they willing to sponsor you or wait for you to get a work visa? A lot of employers are reluctant to go through the process because it appears cumbersome,expensive and opens the company to scrutiny. If you are lucky to get a gig with one of the accredited employers,maybe maybe. Put in mind there are a lot of people already in the country with work rights too. You must be a specialist or have unusual skill sets they need for you to be considered.[/b]

Alright thanks bro, I appreciate your easy explanation.
