So having confirmed that people have been called to the interview stage, it's safe to move on from this phase abi? Or is there a tendency that some people who weren't invited will likely be called at a later time??

DeenDodo:
2-3 weeks most likely

CompFlex:
Question please...is there anyone with ABC form that hasn't been called? I am Asking based on the stat that was provided here some days ago, stating that about 98% of candidates with ABC forms have been called

EugeneLeeJnr:
there are also folks without the ABC forms and have offers too

EugeneLeeJnr:
I doubt if anyone receives a regret mail from shell after the final interview. we are all in the dark looking unto Jesus for his Favor

Isaacblessed69:
Please calm down. From the look of things, the offers have ended

venabili:
You get an initial call where they read you the offer including the salary package. They ask you if you are fine with it. If you agree, they'll ask you where you want to do your medicals. Then you get an email for medicals. After medicals you get a written offer via mail.

EugeneLeeJnr:
No i dont know any who has apart from that guy or lady who spoke about the forms yesterday. do u know any one who received the forms ?

abokoku:
[sub][/sub] You'll definitely receive an invitation. Patience is needed.

CompFlex:
What is your application status? From the information shared here so far, if you have your status as invited to interview, then you should expect an email for the final interview

All the best

After delaying us for about 2 hrs ( heard due to fire /security breech) not certain. I was able to sit though (military security officers let me, and the elderly). Others were asked to move towards carpark to wait.

We eventually went in

Officer: good afternoon
DH and I: Good Afternoon

Officer: passports please
Me: hands over ( hubbys had visa expiring in march but needed to increase chances based on stories heard even though we have been to US few times) I decided we applied together

Dialogue not working for me and don't remember exact words but was seriously praying he doesn't ask if I was preggy.

*****If he did, I will say Yes. If he asked if I wanted to have baby there, I will say most likely not. If he ask why, I will say I need family around me and they are based in Naija***** this was my plan though didnt want to lie so I prayed he dosent ask.

Newyas was BI/B2 and vacation is the reason.
He asked where we were going. We said Washington then vegas. ( hubs answered)

Asked what he does and where he works- hubbs responded (he's a finance person. officer then made a joke) .
Asked why hubs traveled more and without me, I chipped in "I wonder " hubs now explained some were official .lol he's been like 3 times more than me

Asked me what I do- said self employed, baker.
He asked staff strength, I said 3. Me being No 1 and smiled.

He says I was held back the last time that how did I get back. ( I used a bit of emotions here) and said it was very stressful, business was on lockdown, hubs was back home, my embassy wasn't forthcoming with info as regards the evacuation. That I was so glad I got one eventually at an extra cost of 1500 which I didn't mind --- officer then chips in saying " sure you were glad to be back. Hubby chips in that that was the most important.

He asked if we had kids, we said No and he gave the surprise look with smiles( note: been married for a while).

He then asked how my business is. I responded saying really slow and using hand gestures .

Then he says pick up your passports in a few days.


Other observations.... I was praying not to go to a particular Officer- he is white and skinny. His voice was kina loud and we a could hear convos btw pple. Only that you can't laugh cos you don't known how yours will be . Lol.

He had refused some but gave last 2 couples before us but the questioning nobi here( he spends time asking and asking).

Our interviewer was a chubby friendly guy. He spent some time with the elderly woman before us due to language barrier( he took her passport and gave mama the paper, mama say make im return her passport o) officer explained that her visa will be ready in a few days . Mama say thanks and left. We were next�.

Observation:- Friendly officers dont mean they will grant visas o. Dont fall for that trap. I have also learnt to answer with short responses o. So u don't say what they didn't not ask and put yourself in trouble.

Then try not to be nervous even though you sometimes can't help it. Nervousness could be misconstrued for not being honest. Try to say at the back of your mind that it's not do or die .

All the best!

Yes check Canada visa processing time and it will officially tell you what to do .. you have to raise a web form if you have pass the processing time

Hello..

I am planning to a B2 interview in early March for the purpose of birthing in April and I have decided to have my 2nd baby in USA..I gave birth to my first in USA but unfortunately when I renewed in Jan 2020,I was denied because I was told to sort it out with my hospital...The counsellor assumed I paid only 2k to birth without looking at my other documents because he said only the dr bill but I paid about 6k in total.

Anyways,I have called my hospital and they have written a letter stating no funds was gotten from government,insurance or any 3rd party,that I am a self paying patient and I paid in full.. They have also updated itemised bill.I have all my receipts showing the full cost of the delivery which cost about 6k

I will need advise and tips to guide in my interview prep in March...The main reason for me wanting to have my 2nd baby in the same hospital is because I had a bit of an emergency scenario with my son and it was handled very well by the doctor and Nurses so I feel very confident and Thanks to God too my son is doing good.

I have good travel record and work in a good organisation.

Please advice and tips from Gurus for my interview and how much do I need to have in my account..The cost is sponsored by my husband and i
