Thank u

@NeyofeedNigEnt, No your sister doesn't need to book an appointment for biometrics. Did mine 2 weeks ago and got to VFS around 11 am and left there before 3pm.
@Biakwa, the application is obviously online as paper routes applicants do their biometrics when submitting same day

Thank you so much. I appreciate

I had a similar issue last year when I applied for vacation and to see my new born baby living with my baby mama. Then I had no reason to immigrate as I have a thriving business here in Nigeria but was ummnarried. I have reapplied again but this time I am going for a fashion exhibition and my interview is coming up in a week's time. I also have some nagging issues I would like some experienced opinions on. My paasport expiry date is less than 3months from exhibition date. I made effort to get another passport but was informed by the immigration people that doing so will invalidate the old passport which I had used already to pay for the visa application earlier in the year. I was advised that Nigeria is excempted from the 6months rule and a document to that effect is on the American visa website, I was adviced to go ahead with the old passport. Pls any further info to help my case especially on questions to expect is welcomed.

Yes they are right.
Since your interview is in a week.
Go ahead with the old passport your visa will be issue in it but you must renew your passport before you travel and go with the both pp.

I was denied visa 2 days ago but I still don't know why I was denied, and no I wasn't desperate as I have visas for SA, UK, Turkey etc.
It was supposed to be a family vacation, in NYC 4 nights, NJ 4 nights at my aunt's house and 2 nights in Arizona At the Grand Kenyon.
This is how the interview went...

I greeted the woman but she didn't mind me, she asked for my passport which I handed over to her. she should be above 50 years old, in window 6 or 7, I can't remember. Next time if I ever go back I won't greet them, it seems they don't accept greetings...

In fact when she called me I was happy bc she approved visa for the lady that she interviewed before me. In my heart I didn't want to go to the first lady in window 6 or so, she's very young pretty babe, while I was in the long queue, she interviewed about 7 people and all were refused lol.
So back to my interview, the lady asked where are you going to in USA.
I mentioned New York, New Jersey and Arizona.
She asked have you traveled before, I said yes I have traveled to 10 countries in Asia, Europe and Africa, I presently have 3 visas on my passport.
She asked whats your monthly income, I said between 2.5 to 4 million Naira monthly depending on the volume of sales.
She said is that profit, I said no profit is between 400k to 500k monthly.
She asked if I was traveling alone, I said no my wife and kids live in the UK, I was traveling to London to meet them so all of us will travel together.
She said sorry I am refusing your visa, the reasons and details are in this paper, she handed me the paper, I left...

My question is, why was my visa refused? She did not look at any of my documents apart from my passport.
I am not part of the Nigerians that are running away from Nigeria, if I wanted to run away I will be living in UK since 13 years ago bc my wife is British and I have UK visa. But I choose to live in Nigeria even though my wife used to question this decision but I always asked her, is it bc am a black man? If you married an America or Australian will you mandate him to relocate to your country? I am not a billionaire but I am happy that by living in Nigeria and having some businesses here I am helping to grow the economy. Even if its a pure water business or akara that am selling, every month I pay my staffs so I am directly or indirectly feeding many families. I am a serial entrepreneur, every year I travel to top tourist destinations in Europe and Africa and I always come back within 2 or 3 weeks, all the visas and stamps are in my passport, we wanted to go to USA bc I wanted to know if its worth the hype. Besides america is the worlds most important country, I feel I need to visit there even if its for one week.

Why was my visa refused? Is is bc of the cities we intend traveling to or what, NEW YORK, NEW JERSEY AND ARIZONA?
Anyways I do not blame these people, if you see the crowd at the embassy you will put in measures to stop as many people as possible. I know for a certainty these countries can NEVER give visa to every Nigerian/African that qualifies for the visa otherwise their won't be enough space to contain everyone.

We will be spending our annual family vacation in Turkey and Greece, if I am in a good mood in December or early next year I may reapply the USA visa but for now I still dey vex bc I shouldn't struggle to get visa to go and spend my hard earned money in someone's country.

How can a country denied visa for this kind of profile.
Please dont listen to anybody that says family ties or whatever, you qualified even more than 100%.
USA is just a normal country they are just hyping them nothing special.
Please can you please forgot them and apply to a country that will check and confirm your stand/documents.

That's y they have been giving visas to fake applicants who can cook stories for them and now they are complaining about people crossing their border to Canada, they are affecting Canada with their application policy by deciding genuine applicant only by interview which by verifying documents would have saved them from those shit

Your car will require 0w40 and with a strong bias for Mobil 1. There are many pros and cons about the locally sold ones because of quality assurance. Please dont make your fan permanent. You will destroy the engine as it will always prevent the engine from arriving at the normal engine temperature. Sludge will take over your engine and even if you use the right oil, it is a waste becsuse the oil is supposed to protect the engine as a coolant, preventing the engine not to go above the operating temperature. Making the fan permanent is not advisable, it is a sign that you want to destroy ur investment.

Thank you Sir. I really appreciate. What of ATF?

Please boss
Which engine and transmission oil can you recommend for 2004 Mercedes Benz ML320 tokunbo and is it advisable to run the car fan directly, I mean it should work immediately the engine start

gentlenoni:
Good evening house! I've been following this thread for quite sometime now and it really helped me when I had my 1st F1 visa interview, unfortunately I was not well equipped as I was denied at the Lagos embassy in March 2018. This was my experience ;

VO: Good morning.
Me: Good morning sir.
VO: pass me your passport and I-20 please...
Me: sure!(gave him passport, I-20 and sevis fee receipt)
VO: where are you going to in the US?
Me: Stratford University in Virginia.
VO: *nods head* in Virginia. What course are you going to study?
Me: yes. Computer and information systems security.
VO: how long do you intend to spend in the US?
Me: approximately 19 months.
VO: did you apply any other schools?
Me: yes! SJSU and ISU
VO: okay, ISU. where you admitted to any?
Me: yes! SJSU.
VO: so why did you choose Stratford over SJSU?
Me: I chose Stratford because it offers a curriculum that fits my area of interest. It's curriculum combines Advanced technology, hands-on lab and the traditional educational method of impacting knowledge to students.
At Stratford university, students spend less time in class taking notes, rather they spend more time at the lab conducting hands on research using advanced technology, which is what I need to be more effective and professional in my area of study and also my basis for selecting an institution.
VO: what do you intend to do after graduation?
Me: I intend to come back home and contribute to the development of information systems in Nigeria by creating and designing newer softwares for information security and database management. And I also intend to establish an IT institute where I'll train students in IT skills.
VO: Who is sponsoring you?
Me: My dad.
VO: What does he do?
Me: He is a major distributor of Vitafoam Nig plc and also a contractor of Julius Berger Nig plc.
VO: Vitafoam?
Me: Yes.
VO: What's your highest qualification?
Me: Bachelor of science.
VO: In what course?
Me: Chemistry.
VO: Why are you switching from Chemistry to Information systems?
Me: In a time like this where ICT is taking over the world, I want to be among those to impact that change in my own country.
VO: That does not answer my question. Why are you switching?
MeNow having no clue what to say)I've always loved working with computer and I want to study this course just to enhance my skills so as to add to the development of information systems in my country.*stuttering*
VO: Sorry at this time I cannot issue you a visa. This paper states the reason why. You can apply again. Thank you!
Me: Thank you!

I applied a 2nd time in april 2018 at the Abuja embassy and was also denied...this time I went fully equipped as I got better answers to every question but was denied still on the basis that I was switching programmes, and the VO said she couldn't get enough information and that was the only question she asked me b4 handing over the green paper. Now I want to apply again but I need to get another I20 from the school but they're requesting for an updated statement of account. Can I send a different account from the one I sent to them previously as it no longer holds the stipulated fund? What other tips do I need to know before embarking on another journey(any possible questions that I may be asked as regards my transcripts)? Fod bless y'all as you do justice to my questions. Thanks in anticipation!

Ehn you want to reapply again
Why are u dashing them money nah
Try somewhere else

Mboi2:
That's why I don't like group shipping. You should have done roro(open shipment). Do you know all the things inside the container? That's the problem. Maybe there's an item or items in the container which they didn't declare and unfortunately customs found out and gave them extra bill which they're looking for a way to make all of you that has consignments in that container to join and pay. That's the problem and even if you go to customs, you can't do anything. Besides they won't give you the bill of lading.

Exactly what I'm thinking, cus he told me it will be ready in a week now story has changed.
In fact I will never do group container again.
I would have prefer roro but no roll in from Canada only container

mygeeZ:
Was meant to pick up the car before Xmas, ended up picking it first week of February. If you see the paper I attached, the agent quoted the car as accident car.. But its not

Damn! That's 6 weeks after arrival.
But some people wicked o, see clean car he claimed was accidented car.
Mine is now 3weeks, my God wetin man go do now

HoodBillionaire:
heya
guy man don chop your money
use am go drink beer
carry smally
enter club
y cant u buy tokunbo here
nawa o.
u go pay another gbese

If that's the case why is the shippers from Canada are supportive by saying he has done everything right

mygeeZ:
The problem might be you have paid your own quota for clearing (duty,shipping company), others might not have paid theirs. Had same problem, which obvious is not my fault, but i paid demurrage of over 60k my share as the agent claimed the accumulation was 240k. Let me not bore you with stories.. Find out if your agent has actually paid the custom duty. Am sure he hasn't. Another thing you should look out for is under payment or declaring your car as accident vehicle even its not.. Reason is obvious he has tampered with your money and is looking for short cut.
Peace.

Damn! I have paid him in full.
That kind of agent should be able to pay from his pocket even if the rest hasn't pay him atleast the car will be in his warehouse.
Why declaring car as accident when my car is 100% good, Nigerians sef.

Please long does your consignment stayed at the port that warrant you to pay 60k?
Please

.

NeyofeedNigEnt:
Good day all,
Please I have a mercedez Benz car I shipped from Canada, its containerized group container. Left Montreal in march and ETA at TinCan is May 22. The shippers recommend their agent to me which will handle the clearing process.
Now I have paid him for clearing process two days after arrival, he told me it will be ready after a week.
Up till now no nothing, last week he told me there is issue with the final processing which must be corrected from Canada and he his done with the custom papers, I called the shippers in Canada they told me the local agent has done everything correct that the issue will be sorted out in few days'big shipping company o'. Up to now I never see my consignment. I tracked it still show d container sitting at tincan island with the maersk line.

I'm fed up please how what can I do?

?

.

weyreypey:
Just be informed. Containers are cleared together.

Thank you boss.
I will call him tomorrow to give me a copy of custom papers and the payment receipt he claimed he has paid for.
So I will go to the port together with d papers and verify what's happening.
