gypsey:I thought a British passport enables you to travel to the US Visa free for 90 days under the Visa waiver program or has that changed. |

Greatpooss:nigerians are always quick to blame their leaders but in reality,the problem of naija is the leaders and the actual citizens.nigerians are ethically and morally bad.it has got so bad that we don't even trust one another,we are always suspicious of ourselves.since we can't trust ourselves,why should foreigners who worked very hard to develop their country(and who have been victims of our criminal nature on several occasions) trust us??we should work on ourselves and stop blaming the yankees for trying to protect their citizens from us.i just hope we will change our criminal way before other countries too stop issuing visa to us.no sane government will allow people with criminal tendencies into their country. 3 Likes |

gypsey: They ran you through a database and saw you had a record or what? So you were turned back at the port of entry or what? So you had this record in the us or uk or what? still busted if you ask me... because you knew yours was an unusual case and you went on to pretend you applied for visa and was denied. |

Jamesayo:I isolated the following section of your post because I disagree. While I could understand why you could make such a conclusion but the truth is that, sustainability is not a work that should be done by people but rather by systems. Nigeria unfortunately have put the cart before the horse and every effort is geared towards getting qualified people (genuises) but if we can devote energy into building systems that work, any average individual can manage it, because there is a protocol, a system of how things must and should be run. That is why till tomorrow I'll miss Late President Umaru Musa Yaradua the only Nigerian president that was intelligent enough to know what Nigeria needed. |

Funny Thread. Believe it of or not the US embassy is one of the if not the most generous of all the advanced countries that is still very generous with their visas approvals regardless of the country. Doubt it, go ask the US-Canadian border officers. A lot and I mean a lot of foreigners from other countries and not just Nigerians have gone across the US-Canadian borders seeking desperately for asylum in Canada when they already know that their asylum claim in the US will not be approved or will take forever and forever and still not be granted. 1 Like |

AntiNigerian:This your statement is funny. Maybe you should revise it to "...doesn't depend only on it", emphasis on "ONLY". Cos when you say they don't depend on it, it sounds like they don't even drill and produce the oil and that is exactly what your earlier post I commented on was trying to portray. 2 Likes |

gypsey:It wasn't an ignorant conclusion because your choice of words were misleading, "being denied visa" and "being denied at the port of entry" are two different things; the latter though there is "visa on arrival" is never viewed generally as being denied visa. |

dochenaj:point taken, you may be right Although My comments Earlier was just to Indicate that Anyone can be denied visa or refused Entry, Even folks in my position. |

creamylicious: That makes it tougher. Family are good for backup and soft landing but unless these are core family members they might not back you up to that extent. Also, once you reach Canada you can always get American visa so that you can face America if things get tough. Do your research Sha. |

miqos02: Not too much chance to be hustling in Dublin as at now. The only good thing about the area is that you can enter there, then connect to Belfast in Northern Ireland and use that one to connect to London since they do t have checkpoint at that border. School there is not that expensice but if you are a hustler it is tight there o |

gypsey:Like You rightly said, it's their rule and anyone who wants to come in have to abide by their rules. |
Re: Visa-seeking Nigerian Students Lament Sad Experiences At US Embassy by domaintraderng: 8:08pm On Nov 26, 2018 |
miqos02: It is not allowed but they don't operate actual border post so they don't check passport. If they nap you you are in soup but trust boys. They go now and then. As for tourist visa it is quite easy to get. No wahala from them but your bank statement must be complete. It isn't like US that you can just enter with no documents and they might give you. These ones check especially since it is an EU country. If you have traveled abroad before then it is sure. As for holidays expenses it is not that expensive unless you like to really explore. Travel cost can be on the high side so if you want to hit the majority of the counties in the Republic then you will spend. If you decide to go to a more rural area and explore the countryside, then it will be very cheap. The only issue is that those rural areas don't really have African food stores like that so you'll be eating corned beef and baked beans anyhow LOL |

Imagine if we have a better country where everything is working, what will be our business going to US.? Why is with that these people don't come here to study? Exploiting us in our own land is a colossal shame. I never blame them an inch, its our fault. We need to stand up! |
