I don't think you can do anything at this point cos appointment has been scheduled already. Check your portal though.

THE AMERICANS ARE BARELY/RARELY INTERESTED IN ANY DOCUMENTS, AS THEY BELIEVE MOST DOCUMENTS IN NIGERIA COULD be falsified.. they look at your ties, and financies..and the reason for application..plus other orishirishi

How did they look at ties and financies?

I don't understand ur statement

Documents
The VOs almost never look at documents. Anything to be conveyed in those documents should have been in your DS-160 and If there are grey areas, you would have been asked to verbally clarify them at the interview. Having info undisclosed in the hope of presenting them in a document at the interview shortchanges applicants.
Should you attend interviews with documents? Yes. But don't hope to have the VO collect it to read. Happens seldomly.

Packages
The impression I have from your phrase is the dress up of your application. People say VOs are trained in psychology to detect these dress up. I am not sure about this. I believe the VOs from interviewing 100 people every week will teach them to understand what's plausible and whats ostensible.

Do consider sharing your transcript
................Is not all about dress,first of all,am an officer with Nigerian Paramilitary (interior ministry),I wore uniform to d embassy,though it was not office that's sending me,I packaged it that office is sending me on a Safety training to Indiana,d training is 8days...Dey just asked me if I have traveled before to any foreign country,then asked me why I was d one picked,thirdly dey asked me what's d name of d training.... Just few questions & d next thing is me to thump print & I was issued a blue paper that am ineligible.... I have been so devastated, coz I really want to leave d country with d training

I think you should share what happened so people can advice you in case you decide to try again. Just remove personal details.

Mandela887:
nothing happened, they told me that am ineligible, just that, didn't even tell me d reason

So you were not asked any question? Who made the application for you? Yourself or agent?

Hello..Tbh! To avoid getting refused it’s important to ensure that what you’ve filled in the DS-160 aligns with the questions asked and when you start to get the jitters when they ask questions, It’s very easy to get refused.

From experienced, I had been refused twice in 2019- July and Nov.Note that I had my baby in the US and when I got refused in July 2019 just as they were scrapping Dropbox (they sent my passport back with a letter requesting for childbirth cost details. When I now reapplied again even with all the zero balance, I got refused.

Decided to try my luck again in 2021.. got a date in sept ( This time I applied with my partner)

The entire convo
VO: Morning, Please can I have your passports
Us: Sure
VO: where in the US are you visiting
Us: Texas
VO: what do you both do
Us: we told her our occupation and explained our roles
VO: when last were you in the US
Us: we told her the months and dates
VO: It shows here that you were in the US for 5months
Me: Yes ( I mentioned the year) and stated that it was the year I had my baby in the US
VO: How much did you pay and What hospital
Us: we told her the amount and the hospital
(Note that VO was typing on the computer while asking all the details)
VO: Do you plan to have any more kids?
Me: I would but not at the moment
VO: Okay
( me praying in my head, make this VO no give me blue paper �)
VO : Asks us both something related to the sector we workin
Us: we answered the question
( VO continues typing on the computer and then hands us the white paper � and that we would receive an email on passport collection)

Note:
the only thing the VO asked for was our passport, did not ask for any documents and we also noticed while we were on the queue, Other VO’s didn’t ask as well, not sure if it’s because they are trying to reduce as much contact because of COVID.

My first visa ever was to Switzerland. I worked with a Think Tank who was Nigeria's Country Office for an international body. The body was hosting its annual conference in Switzerland.
I was the program officer at the Think Tank, and had many bosses above me. Just fresh out of University.
At the interview in Abuja, they asked why I was the person attending the conference since I had many bosses, and I told them I am the program officer at the Think Tank, going with the CEO of the Think Tank who is also attending.
She brings out a print out of the Management Staff and asks me to name my immediate boss and two other Heads of Unit with their designation.

They look at these things before you stand in front of them at the interview.
The US also doesn't trust trainings and conferences again as a lot of Nigerians use it as a ruse to get visa.

Don't be devastated. Try not to. You will need everything you got to still survive Nigeria

I have a US visa interview next week in Abuja for a b1/b2 visa.
Can I please get a list of docs I need for this process?
I'm particularly worried cus I no longer have access to the gtb receipt I used to pay for the interview.
