@ Cash madam God we bless you for your response


The conference organizer were from India and they claim they are coming to New York City in America to organize conference,they ask me to pay $200 for registration. How do I use there contact as point of contact in Ds 160 since they did not reside in U.S?

I hope this conference is not a scam?

@crownfame012

Don't conclude quickly that he is being scammed. Foreign nationals who have affiliates etc can organize seminar or conference inside America in order to target larger audiences or world markets. The only thing is that he must be certain that such conference is an accredited one and the organizer has a website and verified location. The conference must also be meaningful to your present career or business or works.

You must have received an invitation letter for the conference and such notification is definitely via email correspondence. Therefore, the conference organizer , representatives, president, secretary or the person who is communicating with you all through your registration is sufficient to be your point of contact.

As per the $200 , yes you must pay a registration fee for a reputable and well organised conference. Some conference even charge up to $600 for registration in order to cut population and such money goes towards their administrative cost. Most free conference in america is majorly for americans or by invitation.

If you are opting for tourism you must still name the places you are meant to visit (eg McDonald's in Colorado and Lincoln Library) and you must have contacted a staff in such entity. Such staff is going to be your point of contact. In the case of indecision of places you want to visit then you can use a residence hotel as your point of contact but a manager or secretary or other staff of the hotel whom you must have established a travel routine communication with has to be mentioned.

Meanwhile dont let us disregard @crownfame012 warning totally. Try and verify the authenticity of the existence of the conference.

Thank you everybody that contributed to my question and God will bless you all

1) Please I have not pay money am guess is a scam,but help. Me see the acceptance letter sent to me by conference coordinator from India below

2) if is a scam, please I will prefer tourism,if I booked hotel from booking.com, how can I use them as U.S point of contact?

Cashmadam:
The conference organizers should be your point of contact.

Use the person you have been in touch with - in charge of the conference

Hello House

I salute you all my teachers in the house Africankel,Hunne and the rest,seeing me on different nairaland forum is just to aquire knowledge, and it's not a crime to aquire knowledge, Africankel, truly I intend to apply for south Africa before, but I later change my mind when I saw on this forum that I have better chance to get France visa, even France visa is costly than South Africa visa yet I have the money,I consider the advantage of having Schengen visa over south Africa visa.that was the main reason I change my mind.if by searching for knowledge I have offend all of you,am very sorry oooko

Ashirioluwa:

cantiride2:
Why do you need two insurance certificates.Please always follow instructions.

Thank cantiride2

Is because I mistakelly pay for two insurance one from AXA, second from AlianZ insurance and I don't no which one is the best,when I try to cancel axa they did not reply my cancellation request. I prefer AlianZ because they wrote there medical benefits in uero while axa wrote it in Dollars.

Hello everybody in the house


I want to ask a question

In the (DS -160) the question is do you have any relatives in U.S, when I applied in the year 2014 I answer (yes).

But During the Covid - 19 we lost ur relative in the U.S he died as a result of COVID, now we don't have any relatives in the U.S,

Hello everybody in the house


Please I want to ask a question

Can I apply with two insurance certificate from two different company AXA and Allianz insurance for France tourist visa

Hi?

Ashirioluwa:
@Onile1975.

You claimed that you found a 10-day Schengen travel insurance policy for 10,200 naira. Although this is cheap, it is not the cheapest option available out there. Allianz actually offers the same policy that covers a 10-day period for less than 5,000 naira.

I am not for or against any insurance company. I have a limited budget, and I always like to compare prices before making a decision.

Check the price of a policy that covers a 10-day period through Allianz and see for yourself.

@Lekan2348

@ Lekan234 Thank you for given us more cheaper insurance company


Please provide me with Allianz insurance customer phone number, I bought there 10days insurance package for #4750 since yesterday I have not receive my insurance certificate

Arymed777:
@Onile,

You are causing too much panic for yourself over travel.

AXA Mansard has its parent headquarter in France. My insurance was bought from AXA Mansard, cover limits were written in dollars and visa was issued.

Hope this clarifies your concern?

@Arymed Thank you very much

my mind is at rest now

Hello everybody


1) How many dollars is 3month u.s visa?

2) do they have different durations like 3month, 6months, 1year just like u.k?

Lekan2348:
I’m very sure that 10 day Schengen insurance you got is more expensive than worldwide insurance for 30 days from Axa Nigeria.

@ Lekan2348,

You are right axa Nigeria is the cheapest insurance have ever see so far in the world, there 10days covered is sold for #10,200.00,

Please has anybody use AXA Nigeria which the insurance certificate cover limit was written in Dollars and was granted the visa, should please let me no,so that I will not be worry because I don't want small things affect my chance of getting the visa. Thanks

Ashirioluwa:
Yes, it's not advisable to buy a travel insurance policy from any European insurance company because one can get it way cheaper here in Nigeria.

All the insurance companies are selling the worldwide traveler policy, but it is expensive compared to the Schengen policy. It's like twice the cost of the normal Schengen policy.

Unless one is planning a trip outside the Schengen zone as well, the Schengen policy is enough for a trip within the Schengen zone.

@ Ashirioluwa thanks for ur response

My question is that, can it causes visa denied if the Schengen insurance cover limit was written in Dollars ?

Lekan2348:
I’ve repeated this many times. You don’t have to get Schengen insurance. That is the minimum they expect. You can get worldwide insurance. Worldwide insurance is available on Axa Nigeria and it is cheaper than the Schengen insurance you will buy from those European insurance companies. Worldwide insurance is also more valuable than Schengen insurance

@. Lekan thanks for ur response


The worldwide insurance of axa mansard Nigeria is cover limit is wirren in Dollar instead of Euro hope is still accepted by consular of france
