Imustreturn:
shey there is money in it? Carry it and go

OK.. Thanks!

Imustreturn:
based on?

The uniqueness of the account; not to receive salary but normal saving through deposit from my dad and a few clients that do business with him.

Concerned about the pay slip/stub as well.

Imustreturn:
carry go

Thanks man. Still open to more advise though.

How viable it is to use an account statement with very low cash flow, as per saving and withdrawing.

My dad has more than one account, but the one with a N5M balance (current account) that I intend use for my visa application has seen little or no cash flow in about four months in line with the way it has been operated.

Want to know if I still stand a good chance for visa success using the account, as other accounts that are frequently used have very low balance.

Expecting timely/prompt contributions on this great Nairalanders.

Please house I need urgent advise on this: how possible it is to legalise at the embassy without the translated copy of transcript? Though my other documents are already translated and ready save for the transcript that is taking more time.

I have an appointment for this Friday for possible legalisation & Pre Enrolment, but the translated copy of my transcript will only be ready next week's Tuesday.

Mind you one experienced women in the process has adevised me not to let my appointment on Friday slipped, particularly if I don't get new date and I have requested for new schedule, and every tried book for an appointment with different email without success.

Please I need urgent advise on this, Friday is here!

Please any prospective or current student of University of Bologna in here? I need to urgently speak to one. I just got my acceptance letter for a master degree course at the institution.

Hi guys! Coming out of my shell as one of the silent readers here. Just have to share my experience at the Abuja US embassy.

Appointment Date: 09/01/2017 - 8:00AM

Can't even remember myself and the VO exchange pleasantries. Here is the transcript of what I remember:

VO: Where do u wanna visit in the US?
Me: New York
VO: Why do you wanna go to New York?
Me: For a so so so Sport Bussines Summit to be held at the Time Centre precisely
VO: Are u married?
Me: No. However am engaged (brought out an introduction ceremony photo of me and my fiancee. The VO was not interested and said never mind)
VO: Do you have kid(s)?
Me: No. But expecting one with my fiancee in weeks time.
VO Said Oh.. Congrats! That's lovely!
VO: Have you travelled outside Nigeria before?
Me: No
VO: What do you do? (the question I think I answered poorly)
Me: I am a Journalist and Media Marketer (failed to mention I am Sports Journalist and the Head of Sports & Marketing of my company)
VO: Typed on the computer for a while and said "how many kids do you said you have"?
Me: I was about saying just expecting to have one in weeks time when the VO nodded in agreement saying it's the first one you are expecting right?
VO: The Summit is not in line with your profession.
VO: Brought out the yellow paper, returned my passport and said sorry you can reapply again some other time.

54k gone in less than 3 minutes.

Took me days or maybe weeks to realise I made the denial decision easier to make for the VO due to my mistakes in answering some of his questions. Particularly not mentioning it that I am a Sports Journalist as the Summit I planned to attend is Sport Business related. Though contemplating reapplying now cos the summit comes up late March this year and the IV with me is still valid, plus I have plans to attend a summer course in the USA this year too. Don't know which one will be safer/better to apply with fellas. Will appreciate any advice on this.

Meanwhile the said 9th January at the Abuja US Embassy was a day to forget for many. The embassy denied people like no man's business on the day. Only elderly people were given visa. Maybe the ones I know of. Honestly all the young people including students that I witnessed their interview, saw and interacted with got the yellow paper not even young couples that looked convincing. An old woman that was interviewed just before me got her visa while another ederly man that was interviewed after me secured visa too but his daughter that was to accompany him to visit his son in the US was denied.

Wish everyone here the best for the moment and the future!
