SmartKitty:

I speak and write 7 languages, I am not feeling like to impress anybody in this chat forum, I write the way I like.
Technical Writing is my forte (I translated and wrote so many books for the Air Force in different languages), not good in a simple chat. Yet Nigerians have a heavy accent and are not good in grammar but I am not complaining, it's OK.

Houston, I think we have a problem.
If you write books (a professional skill set) and in seven (7) different languages (showing a super-advanced professional skill set), you will not for the love of anything write/chat in flawed grammar.

Please can anyone direct me to where in Lagos or Osun an accurate picture for the DS160 can be taken. A friend went to take a photograph today and it was instantly rejected upon online submission.

Im not against your other opinions on here,but the accent part,who or what makes the American accent the official and acceptable accent of the world? You have yours,we have ours! Before i got used to foreign accents,i could barely hear what people in Asia or North America were saying,but i never complain or think im better because i understand we’re just ‘different’ The amount of people that speaks fluent English in Asia on all of my visits to the continent are countable! All of their English is broken!

And since we’re all profiling strangers on here! Lol,if im to profile you! You’re not Nigerian,i picked that up from your previous comments/thought process and definitely not White-American! Probably mexican,European in the United States!

Who dash him monkey banana
The guy's just one JJC forming ITK everywhere on the travel forum.
The guy's probably from Iran or Iraq

SmartKitty:

Ha, keep dreaming. You didn't understand me, I am welcoming all kind of accents and not criticizing Nigerians. Here in this forum some Nigerians criticize me when many are nothing better in English. And yes, I am white American, you like it or not.

Lmao...You Wish!

I will share two proverbs with you, one is African the other I believe biblical

“If you can see the little things and the small details around you as big things, you're enlightened!”

"Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies. If small things have the power to disturb you, then who you think you are is exactly that: small"

Nigerians have heavy accent yet you are jumping everywhere on a Nigerian portal.
Missus Professor take your boastful self and gerrrarahiA

You can actually use a phone. I did for mine.

Make sure there is adequate natural light in the room, not too much, not too little. Make sure your background is plain as in the guidelines. Look into the camera.
Then don't use WhatsApp to send the picture (It resizes photo pixels). Attach as an email, or if using your phone to fill the application, attach directly.
Try not to use all the photo editing apps to touch the photo, EXCEPT to crop if too large and out of focus.

If these don't work, just find a properly set up photo studio that will give you the photos as soft copy without being treated/touched up or watermarked

Use the photograph dimension as shown on the website. Any professional photographer should be able to size and give you a soft copy to upload.

Me I just tire for everybody today oh! That's a mad trolling Nigerian-American Jaguda they all dragging sh*t with na.... Afonja/Twood? Surprised though, that name suppose to dey "ring-a-bell" when dem hear am. I believe some didn't actually care to look at the name/moniker before responding, they just got riled up and needed to treat his assumed ef up sharply

I swear I've made my peace with those monikers.

Good people, how long to get passport back after getting the pink slip?

Thanks

seyewest:

Lolz! Huge mistake there, they will still come and take your peace from you some day, it's just in them to do so. You rather ensure their peace is not sure for them.... Go after their peace, very key. Acknowledge their positives if any, but never be drawn to their friendship. I don warn you finish my brother!

Bolded is the Trump Migrant Restriction.
It is as difficult and almost impossible now AF

Not entirely true.

The Trump Migrants Restrictions are for those foreigners living outside the US.

Lolz! A very poor representation of the White American, an impostor though, park well please. Come down from your high horses before you get knocked off. You are all shades nauseating right now

Trust us, you will be run out of here, especially now that you have brought it to our consciousness that you are not Nigerian, and that you think yourself any better than us with all the dust-content inherent in the much we see of you. You go "hiaram"!

OmoBendel24:


To be honest with you, I sometimes suspect you are one of his coded moniker ni oh based on his multi-dimensional operations and personality, not changing on that right now though. Also added smartkitty lately to the list sef (dat one dey sound like Naija person wey newly "arrive"/get promotion inside the US matter sha, all of una even get Texas in common too and anti-whatever also). I'm not moved by all the "quarrels" by these monikers here, walahi. I don tay reach for NL to get some NL street-sense!

Lol!...your suspicions is very, very false.

I guess you're also one of those NL'r that have multiple monikers and so are quick to assume everyone on this forum does the same.

Anyway, count me out. I don't have such talent to assume multiple personalities by opening different monikers.

AfonjaBoston:


Huge disrespect to think I could be Beautyaddy.
Olorun maje

You are on point with that smartkitty, the opposite should have been her moniker lol

AfonjaBoston:


Lol na format she wished she wrote books
Empty barrels make the loudest noise . Make WE change her moniker to "dumbdawg" lol

I knew you were going to come up with the above moniker at some point without disappointing, and you did. Na your trademark

Shior!

I got introduced to this platform, it took me over 6 months to start posting freely, I first took time to learn the ropes, especially on how to cope with the "abusive" ones, and on first having a background knowledge of how the visa application process works. Today I'm better for it, I will tell you my mind without fear, it's a faceless forum even though about 2-3 persons know me personally here. They are actually the reason I don't do somethings like the "abuse-game" here, they can't ever picture me in that light nor believe that is me, so, I keep it clean like my natural and cultured self, except once in a while sha....

See, this is what I say: you type and type and stare intently on the monitor, and then you pause and take a deep breath and announce, approved/denied.

A lot of the questions asked had been submitted by the applicant beforehand. U ask the same and type and type and watch the screen closely, and boom you make a determination.

My assumption has been that the VO's decision s influenced by certain electronic procedures or something like that. I called it algorithm which probably sounded silly lol.

The question is Why do u take a deep breath and announce your decision?? Why??

Section 214(b) refusals: These are refusals for non-immigrant visas where the consular officer is unconvinced of the applicant's non-immigrant intent. This ground of refusal cannot be appealed, but the applicant is free to apply again for a visa (paying the visa fee again). Past refusals are on the record and the applicant is therefore in principle expected to show a change in circumstances to explain why he/she would now qualify for a visa.

However, since different consular officers make decisions based on their own discretion the applicant may well qualify when applying the second time despite no change to circumstances.

Found it on Wikipedia

That's what the book says. I'm talking about realities. Why do they type and type, and then heave a huge sigh before looking up at applicant to announce the outcome of the application?

Is there something that the computer tells them?
