If you can afford it, I will advise you reapply immediately. I met a guy during my interview on January 3rd. He had multiple expired US visa but was denied on the 11th of December, he came back on the 3rd of January and was granted.
So, what has changed between 3wks or so?
If you meet a different VO, he might be more considerate.

Folks, I have been struggling to book an hotel close to US embassy in Lagos for people coming in from other states to attend interview. I saw one named Westwood Hotel Ikoyi which looks decent but there is no website. Does anyone know anything about this hotel or has recommendations?

Hi Everyone.This is my transcript from the Lagos consulate.Bear in mind I have had visas consecutively since 1996.

My transcript at the Lagos consulate:
VO:Good morning,How are you?
Me:Good morning hands passport
VO:What state are you going to
Me:Maryland
VO:What are you going to do
Me:Vacation and to visit family
VO:What do you do
Me:I tell him
VO:Are you married with kids
Me:I tell him
VO:What do your parents do
Me:I tell him
VO:Sorry you’re not illegible at this time

I only saw them give visas to old people.I wonder what I did wrong.

Brother i am sorry o

How old are you?
why are they asking about your parents.
I have attended many US visa interviews.They never asked about my parents?
where do you parents stay?in the states

Q3. How long have you been in your current job?
Ans: 5 years _cuts in_

I'm sorry I cannot approve your visa at this time.

_Here's my observation, most renewals and most applicants around 50 years were approved at least in my presence_

UK straight.......done with US.
First denial was 2012.
Now this is the second.

Just painful I had to leave Ibadan to Abuja

Why UK? Why not just stay in your country and help make it better. And there is nothing in the UK.

ayobj:


Thats the red flag

You people have started again....
What's the red flag here?

Nigerian passport is blacklisted like someone stated sometimes ago.

One single approval out of 100 applicants, that single approval sef is just oju aye like someone said lol

You did nothing wrong , but your profile makes you as a suspect for a visa overstayer . Even if you have married with kids , unless you are very old or extremely wealthy in Nigeria , the chances of overstaying your visa are very high in their eyes. Plus Maryland is not really a vacation spot, it has huge nigerian population with lots of visa overstayers.

Suspect for overstayer
Didn't you read his write-up wella?? Or you just rush to comment. You have never say something tangible on NL, they have chase you away from mackynaija thread Abi.

I wish angelicblessing can give me a meme for u :'[

Take your behind somewhere else, you are freaking hater.

abzz889:



Never thought of it this way..Oh well,they can keep their country for now.Nothing great is happening there.Going to explore other countries and make my own country better so I can stop receiving insults from embassies.

As much as you're not happy with the outcome, I will advise you to try other countries and re-apply in 12 months.

Na wa o. Sorry.
BTW, can you share your age range and expatiate a bit on the "I tell them"? e.g. Are you single?

Other questions that you can consider:
Do you now have more family in the US than Nigeria?
Are there any circumstances that have change since your last visa?
Are you a frequent traveler to the US? to other countries?

It is well. Make our brother help us with that unbleep, so we know the ambiance for renewals for people with good travel history. Unless he was an infant in 98, or someone else's ish is affecting him, VOs are not even trying to slip a smile through. Not good for facial muscles.

Just to answer some of your questions.I planned to visit my step dad,that's why they asked what my parents do.He also asked why mum was living in a different country.The major reason for refusal they gave was ties to my home country.I want to reapply within the year though.I just need to make a lot of changes.
