You have zero chance with US visa

Mandex11:
Abha! Must you reply? Are you Joe biden or C _ general? This your zero chance is baffling.

You might be surprised at the out come if they try.
Don't discourage anyone please.

AfonjaBoston:
Are you the one to interview him/her?
Your zero chance conclusion is baffling.

oluayebenz:
Ok so what's your advice?

They should apply for B1B2 visa with zero travel history has a couple?

AfonjaBoston:
I don't give advice. I am not a visa expert.
Stop running commentary judgement on a process you don't control.

If na another person talk wetin you yarn you go dey foam for mouth

fkj950ax:
A couple of states in the USA are opening up gradually and even allowing in-person gatherings of up to 200.
Even live events of 500 indoors are available.

Texas has even gone rogue and opened 100%

I am an EDM enthusiast and festival dates are popping up a lot for several festivals in Florida, Las Vegas, Austin, Atlanta, California, Illinois, etc.
Those planning to travel for vacations can start fixing up summer periods.

I don't have info on conferences, but I am sure they will start announcing soon.

Then we wait on US Embassy in NG to also announce the full resumption of interview appointments.

pointednose:
VISA APPROVAL ALERT!!!

Date of appointment: May 20th 2021
Appointment time: 6:30am

I am sharing this to encourage people esp those who had birth previously in the US.

VO: Good morning. Please pass your passport

Me: Good morning sir.

VO: How many kids?

Me: One kid

VO: What did you go to do the last time you were in the US?

VO: What year

Me: 2017 (VO's eyes on the computer, and then nodded in affirmative to ny response).

VO: Apart from the US, which other countries have you been to.

Me: None, cos I have been busy with family and work.

VO: How much do you earn?

Me: I earn ****, and we have a cumulative family income of **** (I stylishly added my husband's income to maje it look substantial.

VO: What does your husband do?

Me: He works as a ***** in ***** company.

VO: Okay, I intend to approve your visa..blabla

Me: Thank you very much. Do have a wonderful day.

PS: There were quite a number of people at the embassy, and I am like "where una dey see these dates na"...lol. I got my date since last year when the dates started opening up.

Also, I was the 4th person interviewed by my VO, and the first three persons were also approved cos VO asked everyone basically almost same questions and they all kind of fit into the profile of the questions he asked (Travel history, married with kids and none travelling with their spouse and kids, Employed etc..all checked).

All the best, everyone

borvick:
Yes it is possible, l got Sept 26th 2021

Nerobliss post=102366391]Just a quick question, is it possible to get appointment in August or September. Apparently this agent claims he can. But I have doubts. Is that possible under any circumstance?

Ehimeomo:
Please house, quick one! Can one travel from Nigeria with Euros to US as BTA/PTA cos an uncle can’t get dollars to buy & his trip is this morning? Please

mrprolifik:
Yes you can . When you get to the USA you can always change from euro to dollars at the bureau de exchange located in the airport or other places in the city. But mind you the exchange rate at the airport isnt always favourable.

pufframmy:
cool hope you enjoyed your stay

itsdollyp:
hello..good morning everyone. I have been a silent viewer on this platform and I have been gaining a lot of information from different people. my question goes as this; my interview date for my f1 visa was June 2nd but it was shifted to June 17th, this is my second time applying for an f1 visa, the first time I was denied. I just finished my classes for the spring semester here in Nigeria and I got a GPA of 3.78, how do I mention this to the visa officer so it could increase my chance of getting an f1 visa. what I mean is that, what question can the VO ask me, that can i use my GPA score to answer.

fkj950ax:
Thank God for daft people.

PSA
USCIS has extensive info on its website, including October 2020 info update on what to do if you are a nonimmigrant still in the US due to COVID, Lockdown, Flight Delays/Cancelation and slow reply to EOS request, but you are too smart not to read up USCIS website.

Your folks are fine. No penalty for being there up till now. Just that you haven't said why they are still there since Sept 05

mulannoire:
Quick one, i have a US visa that expires on the 6th of July. Can i travel 17th June to return on the 4th without immigration giving me issues? I have travelled in the past and never spent longer than 12 days. Thank you.

Jbab:
You can travel until the final day of your visa expiration, you will be stamp 6months stay or according to the VO willingness to allow you to stay in the US. It's always advisable to travel earlier though to avoid unnecessary questioning.

PrinceLexyJoe:
I think you can mention it when you are asked a question like; WHY ARE YOU GOING TO THE US? You can simply say: I'm going to the US to continue my study on xy course because I'm already a student and I got 3.--- in my last result from the department/school.

I think there are many questions you can slot that into, just be creative.
