This is why this country will not move any inch towards development.
Our problem is not the political leaders...the problem is with us Nigerians.
I see people commending Radautoworks for a job well done and for her maturity... I ask for what exactly
Someone failed to deliver a service she was paid for over and over yet people are praising her...how ?
Radautoworks I've always taught you will be different but you have proven with this thread that you have limited knowledge about auto repairs and no different from the so called kassims.

That you spent years in the US doesn't mean you are skilled in what you claim to do.

Your excuse now is that the car was bought for 400k...and so what

You know OP got the vehicle for free and a lemon yet you charged him exorbitant fees to fix it? without any results?

You brought the amount he bought the vehicle here to make mockery of someone that pays your bills? ...when he drives by people will recognize him as the man that bought a vehicle for 400k

What exactly do you want to achieve with mocking a Man that feeds you?
There's no professionalism in the way you have treated this man and his vehicle.

I put it to you that you are not in anyway better than the road side mechanics...the only difference I see here is your ability to con the gullible.

I am an angry man right now.
Nonsense!

I'm so disappointed when I saw that.
Aunty truly messed up......

Abeg something is not clear o

Is it possible to get a driveable 2008 Acura MDX for 350k, even Nissan Micra 2000 is even more than that......

I'm lost

Toks 2008 mdx is currently 4.2m
Nigerian used in better condition 2.5m

Grupo:
At this point, I'd advise you to count your losses.

Sell the car and buy a Toyota or Lexus.

There's a reason why many Nigerians don't drive cars like Acura here.

Acura is still one of the most reliable vehicle

So Toyota no dey get issues?

Please I need assistance the experienced ones here.i applied for a UK visa using an agent who charged me one million hundred thousand naira, which I paid six hundred thousand as part payment but I was denied and the agent refunded me five hundred thousand naira instead.i don't know what he did or what he submitted but he called and said I was denied..i believe I am not banned because nothing was written on my passport..?

So now I want to apply for American visiting visa myself..i have been dating a black American that wants me over there now..he sent me an invitation but it didn't go through because he didn't include his passport number so he went to apply for his passport but they told him they are far behind and it will take sometime for him to get his passport which might take more than four months..he intends to use fiancee visa to bring me over or come here,we get married and he goes back to file for me but he said 8months to 1year is too much for him to wait after marriage..so now he asked me to try visiting visa and see how it goes, if it works fine but if it doesn't then he would have to take off from work and come down..
Please I need good advice from the experienced ones here as I don't know what to do or how to start..thanks

Any travel history?
Fiance visa is even better, visiting visa interview is now 2024......

The best is for him to come over, chances of you going via visiting visa is almost zero....

Nikky1759:
@presh thanks so much for that answer i realy appreciate.

Please house when can i reapply back? Shoild i give it sometimes or reapply straight up?

And should i indicate i was denied due to insufficient find in the introductory letter before submitting or not?

You should not apply immediately....
You cannot lodge money in the account and apply immediately.
Is your hubby a businessman or salary earner?

Next application will be judge base on the account, if a lump sum is deposited purposely for the visa application, it will be automatically denied of money lodgement.....

If he have another genuine bank statement with enough closing balance, he can submit both to support the application

Seankay323:
why should they have appointments for 2024 and they know fully well you have to pay before booking an appointment, cos some people might prefer 2024 and want a particular date and decide to pay for it. if the embassy collects money from someone who booked 2024 and then says o it expires in one year , isnt that wayo wayo... it is not Nigerians fault that they issue visas to people and those people decide to overstay . They have no fault and make no mistakes based on their policy , so they shouldn't blame Nigerians for overstayers, they chose to issue the visa, the ones that overstayed didn't issue themselves visas. They should work on those that misused their visa not blame a whole country for their own misjudgment. If they say no Nigerian should come to the USA people go adjust.

Well said.....

They should rather stop accepting payment for b1b2 visa since the foolish embassy decided to fix interview date until 2024,,,, meanwhile the payment receipt expires in one year! What a mess on Nigerians

[quote author=mrnwas post=100312667][/quote]UAE govt later extend the restriction

Omoluv5:
Good day everyone, please is it safe to go ahead with visa payment seeing that dates are scarce? We're applying for a tourist visa for the family, travel month would've been August, to return in October... What do we do please? Should we reapply for next year August or shift travel date to maybe November? Advice please

Don't bother applying if travel date is August.....
Available date is January 2024

Nancyamah:
Won't it make them look desperate? Why apply for interview as far as 3 years time

The thing tire person,,,, Even Nigeria still have better record in the US home office than most countries in the world but I don't know why we deserve this nonsense.

US mission in Nigeria is useless

987Real:
2024 is the only available period for interview now just for a tourist visa with very high tendency of denial.
That is 3 whole years. Treating Nigerians like animals.
American embassy with due respect please get out of our country.

Funny thing is some still apply and choose 2024

Nonsense embassy

Anikkybd:
Please i was ask to come with 250k for biometrics ..
Kindly assist if am on the right track
Thanks

250k bawo.... untop wetin?

Hope you have a sweet profile thou or else,,,, Canada VO are not smiling ooo

Almost all foreign embassy do background check, so it might be difficult to scale through except dubai

Lazyyouth4u:
The very rich one in that same Australia. The one that your father trained. The one with two big warehouses and landed properties in Lagos.

What about your Aunty in the USA?

If these close family members can’t help you with their statements, why do you think it is strangers on an anonymous forum that will send you their account statements in this day and age?

[b]Mind you, many of us here are audio big men and women o. We are very wealthy on NL but we drink garri with guguru and epa in our ‘face me i face you’ while enjoying melodious sounds from those wicked mosquitoes inside heat for darkness at night. Some of us dey abroad dey collect government benefits but come on NL to pose as rich while some of us dey sell fake products to yahoo boys just to survive.

My sister, many of us audio rich people here are like you trying very hard to check out from this country o but we do it ‘codedly’. [/b]This poverty na everywhere e dey

This guy ehn

I heard UK vehicle has better mileage than US and Canada.

Their engines last longer than the US, Canada is worst, always high mileage vehicles

ibechris:
Ahibolongas,despite the fact that I respect u,the truth is u messed up big time. This guy deserves an apology. Do u know what it took him to wait on u before he decided to the take the alternative. Despite the security issues in the [b]land,u shouldn't make any promise u cant keep especially sensitive ones that could cost someone his future. [/b]Just like he said,u should have at least informed him earlier or perhaps notify him that u couldn't do it rather than keeping quiet before he called u out.

Stop making it look like he is at fault while u are the reason for this silly mistake. Yes,no be by force but say what u can do and keep ur dignity.

Exactly......

Don't know why some are even attacking the innocent guy,,,,, Before I would make any promise, I will think of the disadvantages very deeply ..... disappointment is never anybody's wish

babs4all:
Well, please note that letter of invitation for a non immigrant visa is useless as far US embassy and consulate are concerned. They don't care to check. There is 98% chance that they will not request to see any of your documents. You don't have a job in Naija. That's a red flag. What are you returning back to Naija to do? You are seeing as a potential japa master especially when there's no travel history. Except miracle happens, your profile is not looking good. I am sorry for being blunt.

That's just the plain truth.

He should use his visa fee for something else

Slayyy001:
Good day house ,pls I want to ask a vital question .
So, the US consulate Lagos says B1/B2 will begin appearing for visa November 30.
So, I have a family friend who wants to do his wedding and wants to invite about 10 person( list is complete).

Can he still write to the embassy to notify them of the invite and the number of persons he’s inviting or what’s the best way ?
Cos he doesn’t wana waste time if they are not granting interview for b1/b2 till November 30?

Ur opinion will be appreciated .. thanks

Are you sure of this info?

Meanwhile, a family friend want to invite 10 people at a time? Wow, gone are the days..... The invitation letter will be useless like the P in psychology.....

Paradox44:
Hello house, pls I really need your good advice,2017 I applied for a visit visa to USA which I was denied 3times, 2018 I have to relocate to dubai which I am presently with my wife but now my wife is back to Nigeria to delivered our first child, glory for safe delivery a baby boy. Now I wanna file a visa for us to US.
My question is. What chances do we have and again is it possible for me to start the application from here in dubai and fix an appointment date? I will be in Nigeria by October, can I start application now or when can I start pls I need advice.

Better you apply at US embassy in dubai

[quote author=maximilano post=99872856]How’s asking someone to pay for a service a scam?

Valid question

9icetoo:
A bit common on the 07/08 models. Not so on others.

There was a TSB on it. Replace sensor and update ECU. Problem solved. It isnt a monster that can't be surmounted. The low oil warning pings is the least of OPs worries. It's the blue smoke and leaking fluids that's my worry. Everything that can leak was leaking.

Very on point

@Op.... I'm scared you might loose the labour warranty if they discovered that any of the part you brought in is faulty

Seems low oil pressure pinging is very common on Acura MDX.

That monster sensor is very difficult to defeat, you just had to live with it.....

Janet101:
What of people that were denied last year, can we also apply

Do you have a US visa that expired not up to 2yrs ago?

Are we back to dropbox era?

USA2019:

Why crying if I may ask?

Please share your transcript.......

Kemo88:
Had my appointment and my visa was approved.
A lot of people were rejected. As usual there was a VO rejecting almost everyone and I was praying not to be sent there.
We were all standing in front of the VOs. I was the last on the queue. At some point it was a lady and I left there other people behind us were still taking finger prints. It was the lady’s turn but the VO directly in front of us asked me to come to him and he sent the lady to another VO. The VO who called on me wasn’t the one Viciously rejecting people but he just rejected the 3 People before me
My transcript:
VO: *cracks an initial joke and laughs
Me: *laughing even though I didn’t hear what he said

Me: good morning

VO : good morning, how are you today

Me: im ok , how about yourself?

VO: I’m great ... so why are you going to the US

Me: holiday

VO: how long?

Me: about 3 weeks

VO : where are you going

Me : *mentions name of city

VO: What’s the longest time you spent in the US

Me: 5months

VO: can you tell me about that?


Me: I was on an F1 visa, went as a Graduate student

VO: *cuts me short* was that a semester course ?

Me: no, it was a two year program , I Came home a lot at every chance I got

VO: You were missing home?

Me: yes.

VO: what school did you go?

Me;*******

Me: Canada , UK, Dubai and the US.. oh sorry You Saïd asides the US..

VO: *laughs * yes cos I can see here that you have been to the US a gazillion multiple times ... so tell me about your last trip to the US?

Me: I’m a surgeon, I work at ***** I do **** surgeries, reconstruct bla bla (my comfort zone so I spent time there)

VO: are you visiting family?

Me: no I’m not

Vo placed my passport On the blue paper and my heart sunk. Then he says :

VO: I won’t be returning your passport at this time cos we have decided to give you A visa.

He brought out white paper.

Hé was friendly but more friendly with the 2 people He had rejected just before me. So I was nervous. I was worried also cos for every approval there were like 10 rejections. Most approvals were renewals.

This was my longest us visa interview. I don’t know why. thank God for everything

No VO will denied you with this your profile nah.

So why worried?

awumen:
What about having a good investment back home in Nigeria, while in abroad and married? I heard a story of one of my senior in the secondary school,he once had the same issue but will I say he was smart to have good investment in Nigeria without her knowledge, as soon as she started her craze after 7 years he brought her to the UK, my man japa with kids back to naija,all she had was just the UK house. This man and two kids are in the U.S now and not starting all over per day atleast he has his life savings and assets in naija to fall back on.
Can these be an option for the men who take family abroad? Am here to learn.

That guy get sense honestly....
I hate nonsense
