Hello Akin,

How I wish I can help when you guys say accommodation in NY but the issue is I'm married and wifey is an American and in conducts... you know what I mean. Well, let me know when you're coming, probably I can help you seek help from relatives who also live in Staten Island. Time of your arrival in Newark and connecting to Ohio is very important, hopefully it won't clash with my work time. I work all this weekend and busy most time in weekday. We can work the time out sha.

If the hotel option, the cheap and closest to the airport (like 5 mins drive) that I have used before is Days Inn at Elizabeth. They have free airport shuttle and wifi. I check the price now and it's $69/night. Hotels get filled quickly in neighboring NJ cities because of NYC and tourism.


Thanks bro. I will prefer the hotel. how do I get intouch with them before my arrival I will arrive 7pm US time Augs 5. Hope to hear from you soon bro

Someone told me last weekend that naira might go up to #400 by this weekend and he was right!

I bought $10 from presidential phc at #375 and going today to buy $100, they said #395 last!!! I shock cos it was less than 24hrs from my previous day dealing.

God please I need where and who to buy dollar cheaper, say #200!

Yes u cant wait till u arrive because it might not be available or more expensive. ..... you can check booking.com or other sites and look for that exact hotel and then make a booking now. .. it will reserve it for you . Some sites have free cancellation. Check that also incase u need to cancel it .... u would need to put a card details but sometimes it just to hold d booking and incase u dont show they take it from d card. But if u show then u pay at the hotel desk .

Hi, sorry I didn't proceed to see the taxes before giving you that $69. See the attached image. They asked for credit card at priceline.com, so I called the hotel directly, the lady told me to give her the name to make the reservation. If you would like to contact them directly, see their info below. You can call them anytime but the time right now is 1:49 pm EST

Good evening guys, here's my transcript:
Got to the embassy at about 5:45am, after all the security and documents check that started by 6am.. We were on the queue (I was 3rd on the queue) waiting for the vos to arrive and 2 vos came at about 6:55am one was the lady that denied me last week and the cgi guy directed the 2 guys before me to her, the other vo who was at window 5 beckoned on me to come & here it goes:
Vo: good morning and how are you
Me: fine and you
Vo: pass me your passport and I20
Me: passed them to him
Vo: why did you choose the Uhv?
Me: the Uhv was recommended to me by a lecturer in the University I graduated from who is also an international study consultant and I did my research on the school and discovered the school has great research facilities as a public research University which aligns with my interest because I intend to do a research on how information technology innovations can be used to develop local businesses and retailers and this would help me in contributing my quota to improving on the economy of Nigeria which is presently on a downturn (vo cuts in)
Vo : what do you intend to do with this when you return to Nigeria?
Me: I intend to work as an information systems consultant and set up an IT firm to help local businesses or companies and retailers succeed here in Nigeria (vo cuts in again)
Vo: how many schools did you apply to?
Me: 3 schools
Vo : name the schools
Me: mtsu,cmu and Uhv
Vo: how old are you? (Hian! See question)
Me: 26
Vo: when did you graduate?
Me: November 2014
Vo: what school did you graduate from?
Me: University of Benin
Vo: what course did you study
Me: electrical/electronics engineering

Then he started typing for about 20 secs and stopped and looked at me and said
Vo: where does Patrick live?
Me: (thinking mogbe! This guy na white wizard? How u take know my brother? Then I remembered he's looking at my ds160 on the computer ) he lives in Manvel, Texas
Vo: who is he to you?
Me: he's my elder brother
Vo: are you going to be staying with him when you get to the US?
Me: chuckled and said no I'll be staying at jaguar hall which is the accommodation provided by the school
Vo: what does Patrick do for a living?
Me: he's an oil and gas project engineer working with a & b incorporation
Vo: how did Patrick get into the US?
Me: he got into the US from the UK through the job he was offered in the US
Vo: is he elder or junior to you?
Me: (shebi I don first tell you before ni) elder

Then he starts typing again and I stood there firing prayers in my mind, then he said
Vo: did you write any test?
Me: yes I wrote the gmat
Vo: how did you perform?
Me: fair.. 16 verbal 36 quantitative (he cuts in)
Vo: do you have your report here
Me: yes and passed it him

Then he looks at it and returns it to me and continued his typing....then I noticed he has separated my I20 from my passport then I started expecting good news, after typing for long he returns my i20 and gave me a white paper and said
Vo: pick up your visa in 3 business days from today and have a nice stay in the US
Me: thank you
And I ran out and started shaking all the security men out of excitement, one hustler ran to me and said I should give him something for d celebration, as I gave him 100naira Na so the rest rush me o.I run for my life o

I thank God and the gurus here, Mr oludare may God
Enlarge your coast, Mr Walspring God make you bigger... To all preparing for interview may God change your hustle from "how to answer visa interview questions" to "how to get flight bookings and dollars".. AMEN!!!!.. I know say wetin I write too much abeg make una bear with me, it is my story of grace..
