So when did you think they detected this lie? Na oly dem lie for Consular? I just can't imagine what it could be.

That very day infact Sm particular and crucial info changed or got discovered hours/minutes to their flight. People hv listed a no of possible reasons. Like planning to relocate and it became obvious which may not be what u initially told them. Sm piece of information changed definitely.

My brother and his family were sent down from the plane without any reason. A flight attendant approached them and said she received a directive from the US embassy that they shouldn't be allowed to travel. The lady didn't state any reason for this action. This happened 12pm today What can they do? The kids have been crying since.

This story does not hold water. The US Embassy does use flight attendants to enforce bans. They were not stopped when they checked in. They were not stopped by Nigerian immigration. They were not stopped at pre-boarding. Ask them to really explain what happened.

The story does not make sense.

Stupid children is American their country?

Never to come back home � was the plan

We die here together not after voting Buhari you and your family going no where

This is why i always pray against every satanic road block in my life to scatter by fire ...

imaging being called out of boarded plane...I pray they reissue them another visa

There is a lot of reality shows on NETFLIX and Youtube on Border and Immigration, that would answer your question, lots of Canadians get turned back at the land borders and Americans also get turned back in almost equal numbers too, the same thing happens between New Zealand and Australians. Most Nigerians out of shame sometimes never disclose why they were refused entry and blame racism

jolak5:


But they should have informed them before they took that action, it is a total disrespect to Nigerians. Can they do that to a Canadian or an English?

I can tell you people categorically that this had nothing to do with the U.S consulate. It is not the embassy's job to prevent people from boarding a plane or departing Nigeria once they have a valid visa. It is the agents at the port of entry that would make such a decision. The only way something like this could happen is if it is a fake visa, such cases would warrant a call or online lookup of the visa number by the airline or immigration to determine authenticity. Telling lies at interview or telling people you ain't coming back will still not warrant being pulled out of the plane. OP do your research properly!

justwise:


Is your sister pregnant?

Plz.. Wat if she was pregnant,, cud dat be a reason?
Wnt to know cos ma sister shld join her husband in d US by October(giv or take) and she plans on takin In dis May wen d Husband cums visiting.. Shld i advice her not to? If it wil b a hindrance?

Our people must learn to keep secret at times especially in Nigeria where bad belle full ground. If you have good intentions, don't share with everybody until you're done. Rather pray to God for the success of it whilst you carry out your plans. I have a close relation who was deported from USA at the port of entry on the account wrong of identity. He went to the embassy himself for his interview , leading to approval of his Visa. The guy was jubilating up and down, showing his Visa to every Tom, dick and harry. When he got to the USA port of entry, the CBP said the pictures on the bio data page and Visa page in his passport didn't resemble his real look. He was asked to thumb print which he did and the fingerprints were all his.

Eventually, they deported this guy on account of fraud with a ban. When he got back home, his aunt took him to their pastor who prayed for him this pastor asked him, who is so, and so( mentioning the person's name) and the guy said she's just a friend and the man said she took photograph of the Visa with her eyes and cancelled it in the spirit realm. He told the guy not to worry but would need to pray very hard to get another one. A few years later, he got a renewed Visa and his wife sef no know when im reach yankee. He came back after his programme and settled the scores with her and siblings whom he didn't inform before travelling.

Uncleodi:


They may have even sold their car, resigned from their places of work and parked out from their "rented" apartment before embarking on this trip.


How are they gonna adjust??


This is so sad.

the main reason why my friend never quitted his job before leaving naija..even to the last day,,his flight was timed 11pm,,he went to work dat day,left from work to the airport,to avoid story that touches the heart.

Something must cause something ask ur bro to think wel. Wey i they travel i bought go n come ticket, even my bag i carried with me na small school bag lol i no wan hear any story.

Hmmmm

NOHOLDSBAR:
Their visas were probably already canceled prior to today but the Airline didn't catch this until after the passengers were seated. The embassy excuse was just a face saving excuse. Many many people are having the US visas canceled after they have been approved and issued the visas.
I can imagine the disappointment for the whole family. Life goes on.

The airline has nothing to do with VISA rather immigration of the countries involved do, in this case, that would be the NIS.

exactly what I just found out, that Embassy of United States will not use a flight attendant to perform such duties.i suspect fake tickets but in other to leave them in a situation where they won't argue much or fight back, they used the embassy

deodonna14:
my broda is not about traveling is the matter have the consult God for that?

Na God dey issue visa? Abeg go and sleep

Nah, that's very unlikely to follow up an ordinary citizen like that. Believe me they don't have time for us like that. If they have concerns about an applicant, they wouldn't issue the visa in the first place.

See they put us all on the same pedestal, don't believe a word out of our mouths and know there isn't a document in the world we cannot provide. Unlike the BHC, they do not verify facts from our own ends. So if an applicant gives them a little concern, they just deny outrightly. This OP issue throws me. I really don't know. My shaky guess is that someone petitioned or reported somebody and somebody is not supposed to leave the country.

emkz:
Please investigate this to the letter. Visa restriction also affects Chinese scientists as they are not even given visas when they have legitimate reasons to be there. Conference organizers are now rejecting participants from certain countries because of this. The exact reasons are not disclosed, but it has something to do with Donald Trump's tough stance on immigration. Even when you have a visa, that does not guarantee entry as the immigration police can send you back for flimsy reasons. I have even witnessed US police arresting someone at the port of entry and using scary-looking dogs to frisk people. I did not bother to renew my US visa and I hope nothing takes me there again.

That said, find out why they were pulled out of the plane. It just might be unrelated to the visa. I was once in a flight (with Nigerians) and they had to remove them from the flight because they bought fake tickets. If it might be related to visa, did they put in their applications themselves or they went through third parties? Get as much information as you can and I can help you with an immigration lawyer.

Hmmm... this fake ticket thing is making sense o. But why flight attendants go mention embassy na? Na wa o.

in US noting is free when it come to medical. Ur sis need enough medical insurance to cover her period of stay if not they can denie her entry.

Truly a lot of factors can attribute to this
. Mis-information (were any convicted before)

. False declaration

. Falsified documents (fake stamps inclusive)

. Did they use an agent in procuring the visa? Guess it's genuine...at times, agents make their ways in getting stolen visas not knowing that already these visa have numbers and can be tracked from anywhere in the world.

. Additional information needed buh didn't come along

. False information as regards to intended stay

If that the family or any member have traveled before just like someone here earlier asked

. Did any of them commit any crime?

. Any case with any of the security agencies? Driving issues? What of policies?....insurance? Hospitals bills?

. Is the wife more than 25weeks pregnant?

. Did they check the start running date of travel on the visa before buying tickets? So sorry to say that most Nigerians, once given visa rush to purchase ticket without reading thru their visas...there's always starting date on the visa and if you buy ticket before the date meaning that you are travel before your starting date on visa... Except and only if you are 'lucky' and not caught by airline security... You are bound to be turned back buh doesn't mean that you won't travel again buh from the stated date on your visa. This is because if you are not caught here and was tracked maybe at the point of entry in any of the countries then, the airline will be billed and it's 'large' in dollars same goes with pregnancy more than 25weeks

A lot could be the problem but in all, every home office is entitled who, where, when or how to give and 'retrieve' their visas mostly when one is not their citizen.

For the ticket refund... It's a no..no...thing. Not even a 1%refund

...feel their state but let them file in for appeal. Probably something tangible might come thru.

One bad belle people don cast their information to the embassy. I know few people that this happened to.

The embassy folks are always informed by our own people due to bad belle.

correct guy

naso oo

This is awful

I wish he would explain what really happened..how come when they beeped the stuff on the scanner, nothing happened?

Except the information just came through at the last minute

erico2k2:

Bro, for every passenger boarding a flight to the US, their passport and visas are scanned . Once scanned, this information is transmitted to the US before the flight departure. An already cancelled visa will be flagged on the manifest and and the airline will have to remove the passenger prior to departure. This is more than likely the reason for their removal than all other possible reasons. The US embassy has cancelled so many visas lately. Even my US passport is scanned and transmitted before departure.

Kingpee2:
another thing is find out if their ticket was not gotten through a fraudulent means ...The airline must have found something on their ticket ..

this is definitely what brought about the whole scenario, they might have bought their tickets via the wrong way.

The moment they check the passport when issuing boarding passes they'd notice the no-fly warning.

So after voting, they don't want to enjoy the next level fah? Haba mana.

Efribodi go taste this soup. We are all in this together. Kachikwo?

Their visa was revoked they should call the embassy to confirm, that is what they do to any body irrespective of your country of citizenship

soberdrunk:
Nigerians are being humiliated anyhow, how can you grant someone visa and stop the person from flying "last minute", imagine all the stress they have gone through planning and all and you decide to treat them like "international terrorists" last minute, this is absolutely wrong! They should demand for a full refund of "visa fees" and sue for damages then tell them to go eat their stupid country......

Its not about Nigeria or "Nigerian thing" . It happens and I'll even prefer to be denied boarding than to be kept at a holding room in a host country and sent back. They should return to the embassy and sort it out. Were they going on vacation or relocating ?

It's more likely to be an issue with the airline, perhaps the tickets were bought through questionable means, like using a flagged debit/credit card.

Or maybe they did something onboard the plane that raised suspicion.

But i doubt the US embassy would issue a visa and then have people stopped from flying. A visa grants access only to point of entry. If there's any issue they'll let them fly to the US only to be turned back by ICE at the point of entry.

Neoteny:

The check in in agent won't know about the no fly warning (as long as your ticket is good and you have a visa, good or bad), the guys at the gate (boarding gate) where they scan and transmit visas and passports will be the ones to catch such things. They more than likely found out very late hence they already made it on board the flight. Most people will get an email notifying them of their cancelled visa hence will not even bother trying to fly. I know couple of people who have their visas cancelled at the last minute. I fly back and forth to the US almost on a monthly basis, I know how it works. This might not be the reason, but this is more than likely the reason. Cancelled visas at the last minute.
