No interview updates? A friend wants to renew but needs a general idea of what's happening in the embassy.

Can an appointment be changed from Abuja to Lagos and if possible ;what is the procedure?

fkj950ax:


That's censorship.
NL shouldn't make you stop airing your opinion on issues here on NL.

Please don't stop talking to please anyone else opinion.

I failed to renew my visiting visa during the drop box era, so i had to schedule an appointment to be interviewed. While I was waiting in-line for my turn, I couldn't help but over hear the visa officers asking applicants why they had over-stayed a previous visit and immediately refuse to renew their visa despite coming back to Nigeria after 2 to 5 months. Reality struck when it got to my turn and I was asked the same question after staying 3 months.
Please I will like to know if anybody has experienced this too and scaled through despite staying longer than you applied for. Thank you

seyewest:


I hope this is your first time of doing it? if so just change Abuja to Lagos from the profile/scheduling website and look for appropriate date in Lagos, you can only cancel your interview date once.

seyewest:


At this stage, if that is what will prevent me from rolling in the mud I will do it, but my opinion that Nigeria is no where near UAE, South Africa and Doha before Pres. Buhari became the President still stand, I don't know the man from Adam but even if my enemy is the President of Nigeria, I have no choice than to support and work towards the greatness of this country because I have no other choice anyway, at this stage I will desist from any political chit chat on this forum and focus solely on why this forum was created, to assist and provide an enabling environment for applicant interested in applying for U.S Non-Immigrant visa with the intention of returning to Nigeria after getting the visa and visiting U.S.
May God help me.

That's just an excuse to reject you.

A friend with 4 US Visa was also rejected cos he visited and stayed for a month. Told me he was asked why he stayed for a month despite having 6 months stamped on his passport.

Even if you stayed for 1 week, they will find another excuse to take you down.

Embassy just using excuses to knock people off.

OmoBendel24:


Agreed that it seems the Americans are gone somehow almost "amok" with us. Why not bother at least asking him why he stayed that long in the US and what he did there all that time he spent? There are things before now you just wouldn't want to do with your US visa in order to give yourself a chance at renewal, it's worse off now, the smallest mistake signals the end of the journey as things stand currently, sadly!

Good day everyone here. I must I've heard so much about this forum and how it has been of help. Please permit me to go straight to the point.

My wife is a student in America and we're expecting our first baby by May by God's grace. She is staying with her uncle who lives in Maryland. I want to visit around the time of delivery.

I don't know how to apply for interview. I don't know if i can still get a date in March in Lagos for the interview. How much is visa fee now?

Please i need answers to these questions and much more. I need directions.
I am new to this forum and i would be glad if this is responded to.

Thanks in advance

SangoOlukosoOba:


Normal routines he has been doing. Travels when on leave, meet old friends. Not like it's is 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th time he does that.

Why he could be denied based on the fact that he spent one month baffles me despite his travel history. A detail statement or accusation would have just clarified that.

But heard is the norm now, they just look the slightest excuse and bounce one off.

Thanks.Are police and medical records required for non immigrant visa?

OmoBendel24:


Great guy, that's my man.

To be honest, NL is the last place I normally would want to discuss politics, and this thread shouldn't even be the place at all. The challenge is that I can't just stand and be mute where the product Buhari is being promoted unnecessarily or worst still being exonerated!

This paragraph was supposed to be for me to say "I'm sorry" to you, it's not flowing, because the difference we have has to do with Buhari, the man who promised heaven but delivered hell, the one who finally run Nigeria and Nigerians aground with emptiness, primordial sentiment, ethnic chauvinism, nepotism, etc. See what securing visa has become of us as a nation worldwide these past few years, it was never and has never been this bad! Insecurity at its peak .... Now, I'm getting overly emotional.

See desperation and hunger everywhere my brother. Do you know we will all have a feel of its effect? Seye, my big Odugwu Thermocool generator was stolen and sold off for peanut by a former banker and a miscreant in my hood, if you see the CCTV footage and the suffer the guys went through to get it over the fence, you'd weep. Couldn't help letting them go because of his young family. I visited 5 different states in the US on this my last trip, one thing was common amongst our people there, the pressure from home has increased astronomically, a lot have resorted to move from avoiding calls from Naija to blocking friends and relatives on the various communication platforms just to keep their sanity. It's that bad!

"At this stage I will desist from any political chit chat on this forum and focus solely on why this forum was created, to assist and provide an enabling environment for applicant interested in applying for U.S Non-Immigrant visa with the intention of returning to Nigeria after getting the visa and visiting U.S." I just quoted you now, that sums it for me. I'm following you sir, you are a dear friend I met on here and cherish much, I'm really sorry if I got on your wrong side, pretty sorry, sincere apologies. MAY NIGERIA BE GREAT!

My little advice
Apply for F2
Visa fee is 59k
Your wife has to request for I.20 for you from her school international office, if you decide to use F2

How did your wife do her own F1 application in the first place. Or didn't your wife apply for F1 to start school
Isnt she the person to tell you what to do?

SmartKitty1:

When a foreigner is staying longer, he/she is monitored from where he/she is getting money for to stay, what he/she is doing, where he/she is calling and with whom he/she is in contact. No need to inform you what our Intelligence services see but the next time you apply for the US visa, the embassy knows everything.

seyewest:


I'm not blind to those things you complained about, it's something to be worried about but if you know the reach of our nairaland forum opinion and information we share, we have no choice but to promote our country, I have first time traveler to Nigeria asking me if the country is safe, where is safe and what can they do?
I'm sorry about your Gen and have to be honest with you, if we can get electricity right we're on the right path.
Love you bro, one love.

Circa:


Na lie. Monitor how much a foreign spends, where they get money to spend, who they calling. How's that even possible? If it is, they will pick somebody up and send them home after they have overstayed. The ones who are there sef, how can u track them??

OmoBendel24:


Lolz! SmartKitty Kitty haff come again

My jaw actually dropped at that post

You go fear fear na!
