Good day my wonderful people

Please i have a question to ask you all

Firstly, what can one do in respect of the 2 weeks COVID vaccination requirement before a travel date.
Calculating my intended date of departure, I wont meet the required 14 days because i haven't done my COVID vaccination.
A friend told me to take the Johnson single dose today which i intend to but I want to know first if there is anything or idea on how to avoid this 14 days deadline.

Secondly, what are the chances of someone going on a business visa to invest a lot of money on a project (music video project) for 2 weeks duration? A Friend said its 50-50 still while another opined that the chances are high because of the investment & tax to be profited but I need your contribution from experience.

Thank you all Nairalanders

Hello dear be patient.

it can take as early as 3 days and as long as 2 weeks..

Hello house,
Please my visa got approved on 23rd of March 2022 but its been more than 4 days as stated by the lady at the embassy and im yet to get an email to pick up my passport. The portal still shows passport is still with the consulate when i try to track it.

Anybody having same issues?

Dear Cheers ToLife

I will advise you get on the telegram group and fulfill you part of the deal. i was a participant on the group and it was really helpful in me getting a date.

Nobody will yank you off if you stick to your part of checking for available dates at your chosen timeslot.

Regards,

CheersToLife:


Good morning,

Please, anyone with updates on the IW slots should kindly relay such here. I have not been able to secure any date, as of yet.

The telegram ID is not available when you search, and I am so weary of the telegram group going by some stories here of how people are just yanked off the group for no reason, even after playing their part in searching. It will be so disheartening if that applies to me, to be honest.

Anyone with useful information should kindly help those of us yet to secure IW appointments. It even beats my imagination as to why the consulate just releases dates sparingly, forgetting the fact that people have actually cancelled their existing appointments.

Cheers!

MaryAndrews:
Wow. Congratulations.
Please can you share your transcript when you have the time.
Was your last visa issued specifically for childbirth?
If not, did you send an email to the embassy before travelling to give birth? And did you stay longer than the time you put on your DS160

Please can you share your transcript when you have the time. - My interview was for about 2 minutes. i was asked where i was headed, the purpose of my visit and who i will be staying with.
Was your last visa issued specifically for childbirth? YES
If not, did you send an email to the embassy before travelling to give birth? And did you stay longer than the time you put on your DS160 - NO

Good Morning Nadnad,

I was one of the fortunate few to get my visa approved after the first used for Child birth purposes on that day. The VO was very firm and denied all who had stayed longer than the declared period on the DS 160 form.

Its a bad story for the couple banned from the USA for life. It is well.

Nadnad:
Update
Been very busy had to travel for a burial
Picked my passport on Wednesday and it says come to the embassy any thur btw 6:39 to 9:30
I went the following day 10/03.

Vo where are you going I answered and said vacation however I made a mistake and chose B2 as my last visa was B2
VO where are you going , I answered
VO you know the address , I answered
VO how many kids do you have I answered
Vo where do did you have them I answered
Do you intend to use Medicals in the next two years I said no , I no get belle
Where do u work I answered what do you do there’s I answered and she said visa approved

There were a lot of denial for those that stayed longer than they filled on the ds 160
Those that their families went and never returned so many things , a couple was banned for life from the US . Pregnant woman denied that it is no longer allowed to give birth in the US and many more
All of us were under 221g
Apologies for the typo

I suggest you write to the embassy and inform them of the error. In the event you do not get any response within 5 working days, call the Embassy helpline for further assistance.

Regards,

Good day guys,
Please I need some advise here. My elderly aunt went to pay her US visa fee at GT Bank and mistaken gave the teller her old passport expiring today. Funnily (not funny though) She was just coming from the passport office where she had gone to pick up her new passport. The challenge now is the old passport expires today and the visa fee is tied to it. I don't know if I should blame the teller who should have advised her that the said passport expires in a few days and may not be used.
What do you advise we do as she wants to book her appointment at the Embassy. Thanks.

Hello BigDon27,

Kindly clarify authentication of WAEC results and where it can be done.

BigDon27:
Thanks..please do you know how much it will cost ? If your school don't reply, go to the ministry of Education and get one.

Go with your testimonial and authenticated WAEC results.

July 28 2022 - Lagos

Ggetter50:
Hey guys, please can anyone help me with appointment date for this year for visiting visa? Lagos or Abuja is fine pls. This is urgent

Also, for most countries, post COVID conferences and trainings are now Hybrid in nature.

You must have a very compelling reason to attend a physical meeting/training and do not forget that the VO can run a check whilst you are being interviewed. Since both mediums deliver the same result.

My candid thoughts.

TWoods:


Perhaps it is difficult because this isn't a legitimate request, but a fraudulent attempt to circumvent US visa laws.

Chances that you will find an in-person conference in early 2022 is slim to none. Most conferences remain web-based.

Online trainings/conference cost less than 40% so why will you Company want to spend more. Since both mediums deliver the same result.

Thanks Refix for the info. It puts my mind to rest.

Refix:

What is done here is Travel Insurance which is a requirement for the visa application. Very appropriate for its purpose.

The real Health Insurance is done in Poland and paid for on a monthly bases.

Good Morning All, A little Advice that will go a long way. most of the Health Insurance bought are not the appropriate ones. Kindly inform the company that you require a students travel Insurance. This package is more expensive but will do you a great deal in the event of a medical emergency.
From the prices of the ones posted here so far, it is apparent that what was issued is the Normal Travellers Health package. This specifically excludes country of residence. Invariably it means you can’t claim from the Insurer in the event of a mishap.

This is my field and I understand the implications wellllllllllll.

Please and please, if you have decided to undertake this journey ensure you have got your back fully covered medically. To visit doctor for Obodo Oyinbo, your pepper must rest ooooo.

Hello Shitapuns,

The earliest date for Lagos is 9th June 2022. It is also important to note that appointments for Non-Immigrant visas in the B category are now on Tuesday and Thursday for now.

I will advise you book the earliest date available and if by chance an earlier date opens up, you can reschedule for that.

I hope I was able to help.

Best regards,

shithapuns:


what are the earliest visa appointment dates now?. before i could see the available dates when i log in, now i cant, seems they have changed it, and require a visa payment fee to view/book appointment dates, or is this a temporary glitch?

I ensure that the entire household changes theirs every month end.

Dear Damian,

This is for Lagos applicants. Regards,

Damian457:


Thanks boss

April 14, 2022

Damian457:
Please when is the earliest appointment date?

Dear Whyna,

I really appreciate your prompt response. Can I PM you for further clarification.

Best regards.

WhyNa:


Not advisable. Use that money and get yourself a sponsor and visa

In the long run, if you want to go ahead and do in-class TEFL, then that's fine

Hello Sis! Many thanks for your time in guiding people in this journey.

I tried to send you a mail to no avail. I have followed this page for over a year and I have learnt a lot.

I am over 38 with a BSC and a TOFEL band 8 certificate and just wondering if it is advisable for me to relocate. Also, I am considering taking an In-class Tesol course in Vietnam. Is it advisable i do so? I have considered the financial Implications and it is what i can conveniently invest in. But my fear is with the new laws regarding Work visas and TRC. Will it be possible to get a sponsor after the course and probably stay back or do i have to return to Naija?

I will appreciate hearing from you and best regards.

WhyNa:

Sure thing. Just keep following the thread. I'l update as soon it pulls through

Good day Adjo10 - você é uma bênção

I want to also know if the validity of the visa is 1 year of more to aid in my preparations.

I hope i am not bothering you.

Adjo10:


1. New language confuses everyone lol, even adults. But children can quickly adjust and it makes your children open minded by being outside their comfort zone.

2. Yes

3. Not recommended. Get here first, visit the private hospital yourself and ask for a tour of the facilities and secure a better deal.

Cheers

Good day my great family. I would like to ask some question. Abeg make nobody yab me oooooo.

1. For people travelling with toddlers. How can one cope with the language barrier and i hope a new language wont confuse the little one.

2. Can one get a nanny there to help with the new baby as i might not have a support system coming with me.

3. @ Auntie Adjo10; is it possible to make payments for Private hospital care whilst in Nigeria.

Obrigado

Kuntos:
Pls what year is your waec?

Hello dear, this amount i am seeing in $$$ is giving me headache oooooo. from my experience, i waited till i was back to Lagos, went to my regular hospital and had the circumcision done. When i was billed about $450 dollars by my doctor i just contacted my HMO back in Lagos and was informed that the procedure is covered under the HMO plans. You can opt for this part. But if i may warn, the child already was 7 weeks+ when he had his cut and the pain no be here oooooo.

Wishing you all the best.

Qei2u:
Pls where can i do circumcission in maryland hospital quoted $4850 for me

Kuntos:
Pls house who know the current state of waec processing now i applied for confirmation since 17th may up till now no show and that is the only thing wes is waiting for. I was even duped by a guy who told me he wants to facilitate it for me in waec office. Exam year is 1998 pls who can help with a reliable contact to help facilitate it. Thanks

Hello Kuntos, I don not think you need to facilitate anything there. I applied for mine on 16th May and same has been delivered to WES since monday last week. I would suggest you go either call the courier company hadling the despatch or visit WAEC personally.

Do have a great Day.

Dear Brother, you have a skin condition called FOLLICULITIS - A FUNGAL INFECTION.

At a point in my life, the outbreak on my body was terrible but with time and right living conditions, it became manageable and eventually better. Nizoral cream and shampoo are good but on the long run very expensive to maintain. Ensure you take cold baths regularly or whenever you can and always wash your clothes with warm water to kill the bacteria. I will also suggest you use a bath towel only once and wash immediately to avoid spreading the bacteria.

Above all, avoid intense scratching to reduce scarring as this takes forever to clear. You will be fine bro.

hi all,

I am new here. All the posts are really educative. However, I would like to know if i need to complete the part for apply for someone else on my application page even after including that i would be travelling with them on the family details page.
