Lies,my aunty attended an interview last week n the only question was,"have you travelled outside nigeria before" to which she answered no n was refused,solely because she hasn't been outside the country for the first time. They should tell that to the gullible..

MacTv:

The United States of America Embassy in Nigeria has clarified that dress code is not a requirement for obtaining the country's visa.

Speaking during a Facebook live session on Wednesday, the consular officers said that the applicants could come with their traditional wears as it makes look unique.

The officials addressed the common mistakes seen on DS 160 application form, stating that no one needs to have someone residing in the US and also no prior travelling experience is needed before one can be granted visa.

When asked if dress code is being considered during interviews, an official said: “No. It’s not a consideration when doing your interview.

“Be comfortable. Don’t feel like you need to put on a suit if you don’t usually wear a suit. Don’t wear a suit. Wear what you would wear if you are going to any normal appointment.

“We want you to be you. We want you to be as relaxed as possible for the interview. Talk to us.”

How did you do it?

GavelSlam:
Naija people too vex.

My first application was successful.

Derrinclay:
I think our government should come to an agreement with the us embassy that they should return 50% of the fee used for the visa application whenever a candidate is denied a visa

iammo:



Weyrey people, you pay $200 to get rejected.

This same hypocrite sharply gave Atiku visa after lobying with a million dollars even after having a pending fbi and congress corruption allegation

GavelSlam:


To be honest, I had already been to a few countries.

Bank balance was reasonable and true.

Wasn't married and had nothing you would call strong ties to Naija.

UyaiIncomparabl:


To the last paragraph, I was told one stands a better chance of given visa if you hold strong ties to Nigeria since not having strong ties implies you'd elope.
Yours was peculiar then.

ajebuter:
From an incident l witnessed at the US Consulate in Lagos, l conclude that getting US visa depends on three thing:

1... Applicant's HONESTY
2. Luck
3.. Mood of the interviewer..

In 2004, l had an appointment with an American lady (not visa interview) and she requested l meet with her at her office in US consulate.
There in front of me, a stark illiterate woman who could not speak English was issued a visa.
The white lady that interviewed her asked for help in translating for the old woman and l volunteered to translate.

Right after the interview questions l answered on behalf of the old woman, she was told to pick up her visa three days later..

I asked the white lady why she issued the illiterate old woman a visa, and she responded that she could read in the body language of the woman as well as her eyes that she was HONEST..

She said most applicants are not HONEST and try to play smart with them...She also confirmed that most of them interviewers are well-grounded in Human Psychology and can tell liars from their body language and eyes..

My conclusion?

1.. Be honest and sincere
2. Hope for luck
3. Anticipate a friendly interviewer in good mood...

Anyway, l could be wrong sha.

GavelSlam:


Very true you stand a better chance if married or having strong ties generally.

I guess my travel history spoke for me.

Guruindahouse:
They are right, travel history or dress code are irrelevant if you are on good ground with your application. Trust me on this, if your intention to travel is genuine and well spelled out couple with a very good financial resources that can be proved in an appropriate manner, no embassy will deny you a visa.

For instance, you wanna study in US for 2 years with a tuition fee of 10,000 dollars in one academic year, and you submit bank statement with 8million naira. There is higher chance to get denied. Where is the money to cover for other living expenses? They are expecting you to live in their country confortably while studying so that you will not resolve to be over-working your self outside campus for your upkeep.

Denial beckons when you are struggling to fulfil all the requirements.
