Vo:  So how exactly do u stand to gain from the conference?
Me: (Told him )
Vo; so tell me how u were selected..
Me : I explained how I had to fill several forms online wit the activities I volunteer and partake in my communities.(he then looked at me in a way dat sent chills down my spine) and I explained d activities I partake in and how I am a student health advocate .
Vo ; who is sponsoring u and wat does he do?
Me ; (my dad and I explained wher he works )
Vo ; pick up ur visa

I was happy tho....even though I was very composed before and during the interview...buh the fact that his(VO's) attitude , facial expression and demeanour during the interview looked rather awkward and kinda cold and also due to d fact that he denied about 4 pple b4 me made me just lowkey.
Meanwhile I am a final year medical student billed to finish skul early 2018...no questions were asked about skul or any oda tin..

Plenty thanks to everyone on this forum....I mean plenty thanks..

congrats bro. I'm so happy for You.
do you have any travel history or with a virgin passport?

Good evening all,

Please am trying to fill the visa forms for myself, daughter and mum. At what point do we merge the applications to get same appointment date and time?

Becos VO is here...He/She shud not express dia thought.
Even the person dem dey talk to sef don sucumb
Sometimes i wonder why... I arrived @ conclusion that some of u are trying to be nice and calm so that they may give u an appointment at the embassy.

HELL NO!

Again.. Do you know why some ppl dont post dia transcipt? Simply because some of you are rude wen responding to questions. If u dnt av anytin positive response to a ques.. Cant you just stay numb..even the stress u undergone to write that insultive words wud av give an answer that is not up to ur insultive write up. You need to change if you know you have that kind attitude.
NO fight just personal opinion.!!!

@webfocus thanks for the transcript although in my opinion won't be of much help to new users. The parts u omitted are key. Please if you can, detail the answer u gave about the conference . thanks
I am happy when I see silent observers who read get the visa.

U need to take a deep breath and read their conversation in Context. The person he was talking to knew what he meant and Prolly they had edited some stuff out before u read and decided the poster needed help.
Em when did "VOs read the thread" become an insult

I would recommend you read things in their context, before commenting. "Reading things in context" means starting from the beginning of a conversation and following it till the end, to know what was being discussed and understanding it.

Thanks everyone on this thread,I really appreciated the advice and suggestions by all towards my interview today June 13th 2017. Though I was denied but it was fun adding that experience to life.

My transcript goes thus;
VO: Where are you going in the US
Me: New York
VO: What are going to do?
Me: Vacation
VO: What do you do?
Me: I am the Managing director of .... and we do car importation and sales from US
VO: Have you traveled out of Nigeria before?
Me: Not at all
VO: Do you have friends or family in the US
Me: Friends
VO: Do you intend to do any business in US?
Me: Well as an online buyer from IAA Auctions in US, I might take time out to visit two Auction locations in NY just for fun.
VO: How many cars have you imported from US?
Me: Over 60 cars this year alone
VO: How much do you intend to travel with on ur trip?
Me: about $10k
VO: I am sorry you are not approved for US Visa bla bla... and hands me the blue paper and my passport

Note: My passport is virgin. The lady was busy refusing people and I was praying on the queue that they shouldn't direct me to her and they did. Lessons learnt and experience acquired. I will try visiting UK before US again.

I may be wrong, but please dont mention anything about car to them, I would have said I sell cars full stop, then explain further if its required

you almost got it! if only you knew that it is a taboo for a visitor to do business during vacation or holiday break. if it was purely business trip, its ok.

B1/b2 is a business/tourism visa so it's doesn't matter if you go for business on that category ..the truth is when it's not ur time.. no matter how much you try to convince them... true me you won't get it ... he shld not be discouraged and try again later he just be might be lucky... when I got mine.. most of the questions asked was No as answer aside from travel history which have been to uk,swiz, Italy n regular country dubai .im not convinced that was the reason I got it cos I've applied wit those visa and I was denied ...I noticed some people think it's easy cos they applied once and was granted forgotten that they were just lucky.. it's not about the confidence ooo... when you are infront of VO trust me You wil stand RIGHT.

IMO. Don't you think $10k is too small if you have in mind to buy cars from US in your visit, again having imported over 60 cars this year, that amount is really too small.

Found this list of likely B1/B2 visa questions. http://www.immihelp.com/business-visa/sample-interview-questions.html
Figured someone might find it useful.

The amount is not too small in any way for tourism,how many Americans have 10k in their accts? or how many have even visited the next state closest to them?. Always keep the answer to some 2 edged questions short and simple. No need mentioning he will be going to the auction for fun, as a business man he might be tempted to do business if he finds a car on sale at a cheap rate.

Whether at the auction or online, I can use my device to bid. So either at live auction,in the hotel, restaurant, church, if I see any cheap car, I buy with my device online
