Lolz.... Baby Christian! Imagine, you can't even pinpoint standards and how to get in Heaven and you are teaching us God. SMH.... Feeding you milk and your teeth is breaking, how about if one fed you STRONG MEAT? You just can't bear. Be sure that I'm not pro-misrepresentation and never will, all I'm saying is that there's a God factor in visa pursuit that we should stop hating on, it exists.

One thing I like @the bolded is your acknowledgment of God and His prerogative, better you know this counts too in visa matters as annoying as this may sound to some minds. He favors whom He deems fit (He's PARTIAL) despite being JUST.

@reinee I Knoooooo! That's why I told him I have been here long. I remember his first post. He'll post then close that account and his schizophrenic second will post another version. Then they'll close that one and the 2nd person in him that has split personality disorder will post yet another version. Nwanne, thank God say I no be vo. I'll put a note on his profile for other VO's to tell him to reapply in a month say Na small thing e remain. By the time he has reapplied 12 times he go know a far

[quote author=bhankymoon post=62773561][/quote]No issues bro. You're fine based on my experiences from the first part of this great thread. One can only have issues when administrative processing is required which will affect intended date of arrival. Many people dey your shoe so relax�.


And as for the person wanting to renew her visa. I'll kindly advise you to prepare for the likely questions on what you've been doing in foreign land for the accumulated months. You can only escape a vo harsh judgement only if you'd told them initially prior first application that you're not working in Nigeria.... which I doubt it's impossible.

No one will answer your question Dollarpee49. Do yourself alot of help by reading at least from the 2nd part of this thread. You can't view rest available dates/months unless visa fees is paid and logged.

seyewest:
Too bad but the man is not the one going for the interview why is it hard for you to verify everything before going for the interview.
I find it somehow hard to believe because if you work with a big firm the payment of the conference will be done with Accounting section not HRM.
But some conferences allowed payment on arrival and even collection of badge while the genuine invitation is sent to ones email. Does it mean that V.O don't grant visa to those going for conference without already paying for it? I NEED CLARIFICATION IF IT'S A MUST TO PAY BEFORE GOING FOR INTERVIEW!

She didn’t get the visa.

I don’t have a full transcript cos she’s rather upset but it went something like:

***********************
VO: Why are you travelling to the US?
Her: I have been invited by my brother and his wife to their traditional wedding and the blessing of their union. This is taking place at *****, close to the home of the bride in line with tradition. My brother is doing his PhD in ***** at the university of *****, hence the contact address on the application. They legally got married on September *, 2017. I am on the bridal train and she has written me a letter of invitation together with the invitation card for the wedding.
VO: What do you do for a living?
Her: I am an investment analyst working for *****.
VO: Have you ever traveled outside Nigeria?
Her: No I haven’t
VO: How long have you worked for *****?
Her: Since Feb 2015, and I’ve gained a lot of valuable experience from the transactions I’ve worked on.
VO: Are you married?
Her: No I’m single, but I have a brother and his own wife and children, and a father, in Nigeria...
VO: (interrupts) Do you have any family in the US?
Her: My brother is my only direct relative in the US, but since he is now legally married to *****, she too is my relative.
VO: (types away at the computer for a long while)
VO: I’m sorry you do not qualify for this application in line with US immigration laws.
***********

This is very disappointing. I’m really gutted about how so many people have tricked and cheated the system over the years, and continue to do so, that now genuine and honest people keep getting falsely flagged.
Sorry about the denial.

From the experiences I've gathered so far from nairaland transcript and immehelp....I can say categorically that she was not answering questions to the point. She was trying to impressed the V.O hence letting out unrequired informations. I see nervousness on the high side here which V.O may consider as desperation.

I wish her better luck next time.

Me: Chuckles..No, my baby is less than a year

Hubby: Bleep plc

The VO rejected about 4 people before us, how soon can we reapply again pls.

HI everyone...

first of all this is my first time on Nairaland and i have gained alot already (Asante Nairaland)
I have cataracts in my two eye balls and i want to use that as an opportunity to get America Medical visa and Visiting
I have tried talking to some doctors i met online about getting letters from them and what are the requirements and cost but to no avail

i am willing to apply for B2 visa and i need a letter from a Doctor in us and also would love to know the cost on duration is any of you know about it should please help me with the information

Thanks And God bless you all
Captainzees.

Using that up there will be very hard oo bro.

Cataract surgery is the most easiest surgery in Nigeria by our surgeons when it comes to eye related issues. The V.O will simply knock you off balance on the question that don't you think it'll save you much cost to have it done here in Nigeria?

I know about eye issues wella and that path you're about to route might flop big time. I've done cataract surgery once and also did cornea eye transplant on my eye all done in Naija here both by private and government hospital. My little advice bro.

There's plenty evidence even though no VO will bother with proving if you truly travel to Indian or not..
Evidence of travel is easy to get by going to the airline website by putting your booking code or PNR, the website will generate your travel itinerary sharp sharp.
Thank you for the response. I'll advise him to get his booking code or PNR if he still have them should incase it's requested.

Please house I need answer to a colleague question in my office. He was truly sent on training purpose to Indian in 2013 by the company. He lost his passport and have done police report since 2015. He's planning on holidaying in the USA with his family now but he said he doesn't have any evidence to prove to the VO he has once traveled before. He said he only have the photograph of his stay in Indian and pictures of him while inside the plane both tru and fro. Can he use the pictures as evidence of his travel to Indian?

I have a police report stating the loss of the passport alone.Doesnt state the visas in the passports.

I used that for the reissue
Is there anywhere on the new passport that indicates the old passport was lost or stolen? Or did it just carry the old passport number on it?

There are available dates in December but for Abuja.
Take a photocopy of your Intl passport data page to gtb and make your payment. Ensure to collect the original mrv receipt.
Please elaborate on the original mrv receipt cos I was only given a print out copy of CGI transaction receipt today with the reference number printed on it. Hope I'm good to go with that?

Do you want to know the truth? The agent has not paid your visa fees and has not also open an appointment page for you reason for no clash of information.
I concur, I've paid for my visa fee today and now I can proceed to process everything on my own with the knowledge I've acquired here.

I used my official company mail for my profile...hope that is fine?

Thank you very much.

Please let us all kick against the use of an agent, let us give this information the widest spread do not use agent for ur visa processing

my case is similar to urs and i am not yet off from the agents trap, i don't just no how to get out from his trap rite now
That's pathetic though, but why are you still in his trap when you have all the genuine informations required to disgrace him out of your profile?

Or are you talking about the monetary aspect he refused to refund?

Less I forget, many folks will continue to fall a victim of fraudster agent like I did. People don't search for informations to get facts.

As for the person looking for appointment date in December, I think it's still possible if you can monitor the page in minutes. I was the one that posted the January 3rd date but I still got December 4th, 27th and 28th though I've not booked cos I'm yet to pay visa application fee.

The problem right now is this...
You won't be able to access your appointment page/profile but to get rid of the agent I will advice you to call the embassy and explain the situation to them and you will need to provide a new email address.... All this shouldn't be more than 3-4 days.
Thanks Seyewest.
I took the bold steps to create a new account wih my personal email and password, I've updated my profile including my passport number and there was no issues of clash of informations. I'm trying to schedule appointment now. Hope I'm free from the agent?

Thanks.

Obasa,
Let us ASSUME your agent PAID, BOOKED appointment and fill DS form WITHOUT submission.
Also, let us ASSUME you have RE-PAID another visa fee and you want to use it to start afresh. There is no cause for alarm IF you encouter (only when u want to book appointment) CLASH OF INFORMATION, you av no option than to contact embassy by email (support-nigeria@ustraveldocs.com). I can assure you, they would sort it out (though prepare a cogent reason for your case because most Nigerian applicants are seen as fraudsters).
I created a new profile with my personal email and password, I've also updated my profile including passport number and personal informations and monitoring for favorable date for appointment booking. There has been no CLASH of informations so far. Hope I'm free from the agent henceforth?

Thanks and God bless you real good.

TravelRe: USA Visit Visa Part 3 by obasa19:
I just strictly follow this advice and here I go...it worked out. I created a new account and filled in my details and passport number. I updated my profile and no error popped up. I'm a free man now. If not that I'm not satisfied with the available date of appointment I should have booked the available one. Kudos to you guys. Thanks for being there for your country men.

DereI:
Well then, if you wish to go ahead with a new payment, do so. Create a new account and fill in your details including your passport number, names et al.
If an error occur when trying to update your profile such as "This passport number is associated with another profile", put a call to the US Embassy lagos or abuja and they would assist you with moving your details into the new profile.

I wish you the best
Amen.
Many thanks.
I appreciate.
God bless.

(1) Ignore d first application form and start afresh
(2) I don't believe the agent has paid your visa fee. Otherwise, he/she would have easily handed the payment confirmation to you. What the agent handed to you could be done without payment of visa fee. Therefore, prepare to pay another visa fee.
(3) Yes. It is possible to book appointment without submission of application form.
Lastly, pls be careful with agents. Many of them are out there to dupe innocent applicants.
Many thanks Kajolplus.
I sensed reality in what you said that he hasn't pay for the visa fee as he took him nothing to give me the details since I'm not asking him to pay me back the excess I ignorantly gave to him. KINDLY ADVISE ON CLASH OF INFORMATIONS IF PARADVENTURE HE PAID AND I ALSO GO AHEAD AND PAY ON SAME PASSPORT NUMBER. WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES?

When one is not informed then that person MUST be totally deformed. No be by BTech. Thousands mumu like me are still undergoing same situations as mine at the moment cos they lack crucial informations like this. And zilch can be done to change their mindset cos they the educated ones even believed visa processing can only be done by agents. As big as the company as I work is, many folks declined that I can't process visa without involving an agent. Just imagine! I'm glad I know the truth now and it is setting me free before I'll looking for ways to confess. My own case still better Na only money I loose...I no loose credibility and because of that God win grin grin

Thanks guys. Please don't let people discouraged you from helping Nigerians. I dey enjoy the way you lash some people here with answers.

1. Yes, you can fill another ds-160 form and edit the one in your appointment profile (You also need a login details for your appointment profile).
2. You need the GTB Receipt printout as its one of the documents required for your interview. You could pay a new visa fee but there would be a clash of profile details as your passport number has already been used to create this current profile.
3. Yes, an appointment can be scheduled before the ds-160 form is submitted.

Please note: The security questions the agent might have used in the ds-160 form has no negative effect to your application, rather its an answer he/she could easily remember.
Wish you all the best
Amen.

Thanks DereI. Your answer number 2 nailed my worries. But if I go ahead and pay for another visa fee and paradventure this agent truly paid as he claimed. What problems or issues will I face with the CLASH of informations you mentioned since my passport number remains the same? Honestly, I don't want to call the man again as I really want to let the pain of the money die naturally with time. I'm ready to start afresh. Kindly elaborate on that aspect of CLASH of informations and it's consequences.

God bless.

Obasa
1.Fill a new form since the first one is yet to be submitted

2. I'm afraid, there's little you can do without proof of payment. U should call the embassy though and verify

If they can't help then u have to pay again
You're always on point LadyGuinivere. Thanks for the quick response. How would I verify from the embassy if I put a call through since I don't have the login details he the agent used? What happens if I go ahead and pay for another visa fee since I don't know if he truly paid before. Will the clash of informations with passport number not carry any penalties?
God bless you guys for dishing out informations at no cost.
TravelRe: USA Visit Visa Part 3 by obasa19:
Many thanks to the gurus on this thread, finally was able to complete reading from part 1, part 2 and on part 3 of this thread today. And I must say it's really overwhelming. You guys really rock.

Please I need you guys to assist me on the issues I'm having right now.

Before I stumbled on the first part of this thread three months ago, I have paid an 'agent' agent of credibility destruction for USA processing visa and documentations with my valid documents. After I read over 150 pages on part 1 and discovered I can do it on my own I immediately called the agent on the excuse of work tight schedules to purse every processing though he claimed to have paid my visa fee B1B2 cos I've already paid him sum of ₦110k.

Fast forward to last week since I'm well equipped on this great forum, I called and met with him to let him know I am no longer interested in traveling again and that he should only hand over the visa application bank slip to me and he shouldn't worry about the excess I've paid him. His countenance changed and was so furious but control himself cos I didn't ask him to give me the balance after payment of visa fee.

What he handed over to me was only login to ds-160 form with the security questions and answers on: 1} ds-160 number. 2} first 5 letters of my surname. 3} date of birth and 4} what city did you meet your spouse. I logged in into my ds-160 form with those informations he provided but found out that the agent just filled in lies contrary to my true informations I gave him outrighly but the form is yet to be completed and submit.

Now my questions.
1} Please is it possible for me to continue or ignore the filled ds-160 form and start a new one since it has not be submitted? If not possible how can I changed the ds-form security questions and answers so that the agent won't have access to it?

2} since he refused to release my bank slip to me and also claimed he already booked an appointment for me for Dec 7th. Can I ignore him with it and start afresh on my own paying for another visa application fee? Since I don't care about the lost money to him again to save my credibility from stain.

Lastly is it possible one booked appointment before submission of ds-form as the agent claimed

Please I need candid advice and opinions from the gurus. I really want to abide by the teachings on this forum to stand by the truth and the truth alone. But my worries are if this agent won't go ahead and manipulate my informations at my back. I don't care about the money I've wasted. What I want now is to protect my integrity not to start looking for ways to amend or redeem it later in the name of confession.

Thanks.
