skdfu747:
Decision is never made before appearing for interview.
Too many Nigerians have abused their visas using conference and seminars. Unfortunately they no longer trust conference format.

ayenikunle:
Really?

You mean NO question(s) was asked? The VO will just look at him/her and give out the letter without asking a question?

jibbson365:
If the Consular Officer did not look at your documents Many people complain that the visa officer did not
even ask any questions nor looked at any
documents and rejected their application which is
not fair at all. Visa officers are experts in their
profession and they are appointed in consulates in
foreign countries after extensive training. Due to their vast experience and training, visa
officers can figure out true intentions of applicants
just by looking at them. They can even figure out
whether information provided in the application
and/or documents may be true or fake. They don't
need to talk to applicants in many cases.

Vatod:
What would’ve wrong, went for my visa interview today the woman doesn’t even ask me any question, she just give a letter that, the letter will explain to me better, imagine!

ayenikunle:
Oh, sorry.
Can we have your transcript?

makylove101:

Counterfoil document number now available on the portal.

The visa expires one day before expiration of our passports.

Mine is valid till 2029!!! Whoop whoop! TEN YEARS baby, lol.

Hubby is till 2023!

Thanks everyone for all that you do here...

hammed71:

@vicidomini
Since your account statement is legit printout new statement of account if you submit 4 months printout 6 months if you submit 6months printout 1year and make sure the available balance make sense . add letter of Explanation and refrence letter from bank address to Canada embassy let them know what is going on in the bank I think ur bank don't reply them in time some bank are lazy

radautoworks:
You misunderstood. The issue was in the US not here lol. No doctor would take me. I guess trying to protect their records. I basically had my GP threaten one when I was 7 months.

I don't dispute Nigeria has some problems. What I'm saying is that those running away are sometimes part of the problem or why do you think other countries have us on their lists? We go there and f ish up the same way we did here so they don't want us any more. Stay and fix your OWN country!

Mizwisdom:
He's not your age mate. He has seen and experienced things in life that will take you years to experience. When your father's age mate is talking, listen and learn, you mustn't respond to everything just to appear wise, if you listen more you will gain more.

yinksob002:
Thanks for your observation but the truth is that there is no guarantee that it would be granted if she had applied with me. Whilst I was on the queue, a young couple who have both had extensive travel history spanning US, UK, France, Holland and just got back from Canada were refused by the same VO. What excuse can we make for that considering that it was also a renewal interview like mine?

So, I feel the VOs just grant at their own discretion and no matter how hard you try, they may or may not grant it.

Nelson2k:
Good morning to you guys! Will be apply for US Tourist Visa ( Summer 2020 ) and also will be attending a conference too.

Am a student in south Korea and will be having 12k dollars at the time of apply. I was denied when I was in Nigeria with no travel history.

Will be applying from Here ( korea ) Any chances?

EgunMogaji2:
Hello, meet EgunMogaji2.

I'ma legitimate Nigerian immigrant from the USA that came back home.

Let me take your points.

Peace of mind: This is relative. I am more at peace here in Ibadan than I was in Los Angeles.

Security: Again this is relative. Couple of students were just murdered in a high school in the USA yesterday. About he 10th mass shooting in the US this year alone. Could Nigeria be safer? Of course, but even the USA could be safer. It boils down to individual preparation.

Fire Service: I've taken individual steps to secure myself. Once you identify the enemy then it's easier to defend against it.

Good roads: Not a problem for me. Are the roads horrible? Absolutely but again it's not a serious bother.

Stable water and electricity: Sank a borehole and have generators. Many of my friends in the USA are off grid. No pipe borne water, use borehole. No electricity, use solar and gens.

Safe food: Come on now. We need to have some individual responsibilities. Go to farms to buy produce now and go to arbatiors (sp) directly.

Clean air: definitely an issue in Nigeria but just slightly worse than then US. Do a read up on SMOG, read up about air quality in Houston.

Healthcare: There are private clinics here. Very good ones. Affordability? Well then.

Access to loans: What for? Do you think USA banks give loans just anyhow?

Bribe: Occurs overseas also but not 50 kobo own with police.

Never say never. There are a lot of us that are back, have been back and will be back.

Nigeria is a wonderful place to live in if you can structure yourself.

Candybright:
Wow, this people are not greedy they didn't mind that you paid just $185 for 10years visa unlike UK lol

AngelicBeing:
Your post are nothing but trash and meaningless, everyone is entitled to his opinion, if the truth hurts your concealed deceit via my post , l have no apologies, wait for US embassy to hero-worship you , give you free Uber and coffee, and 50 hours to explain your bulshit stories embedded with falsehood / misrepresentation and Oluwole lies to get the visa , after you obtain the visa, you run on arrival in the US, make una dey whine , Una never see anything, now run along, rubbish

Broadenyourhori:
You obviously don't get it!

mkbessman:
What do you guys think building of house is sef? Is it rocket science? Anybody in Nigeria earning even 70k a month (as a single though) can comfortably build a two bedroom flat in two years. Yes! I used to think building of house is very expensive until I started building one with a meager salary. My aunty built a bedroom flat in Abuja 2016 (mararaba area )with 727,500 Naira. No jokes. Na me do the auditing myself. Though we were two of us that supervised the building. So what you don’t know you don’t know. Building materials have grades according to your taste. You must not hammer before building one. So if Netherland gives him such money then why is it not achievable? Somebody has not even entered plane or even visited seme border and you’re already judging the Op. if you don’t want to believe it then that’s ok. But as for the building of his two houses, you can’t conclude because you don’t know what he’s building. It could be a studio apartment or a flat. So don’t just think he’s totally wrong. Not everything people say here about hopes abroad is totally wrong. Do your research about building a house and you’d be so glad you did.

Beautyaddy:
You are even if you're in denial...lol!

The US has the most generous and weakest loop-holes immigration system that most so-called genuine applicants still end up abusing after arrival there.

Also, it is still one of the biggest in size Countries after Russia, China and Canada but has the most able lands with natural resources, living spaces and job opportunities....and that's why it's the Country with the highest sort for visas.

Beautyaddy:
lol! Stop hating. Going to the US shouldn't be a do-or-die event.

The US embassy can choose any way to scrutinize applicants they want into their Country.

Every Country have different Immigration laws to go by...and that's for a reason they alone understand.

The UK also with their so-called ways of scrutinizing applicant also have hundreds of genuine applicants who were granted the UK visa and after getting to the UK still went on to abuse their legal presence in the UK.

No Country will be able to completely eliminate visas abusers. They can only try as much tactics they know to reduce it.

Even some applicants with the best and genuine documents and convincing strong ties still end up abusing their legal presence abroad if they feel the need to.

Ken124:
