Think: since you didn't do the required passport biometrics, how was he going to get you a valid passport anyway? You'll probably end up being asked by him to pay all kinds of 'extra fees' because of all kinds of 'situations' that have arisen in the process of sorting your passport, and then end up not even getting the passport after paying everything at the end of the day. You should probably just get down to a passport office and sort the thing out yourself. And while you're at it, chase him down and get as much of your money back as you can.

Thanks... will goto immigration office today, to ask if i can do a new one, will also try to get an info if someone do help another without the person showing up...

Hello LadyGuinivere & NLders
The guy still dey run around o, claiming he is still in ABUJA, i'm asking him to come back so we can settle this at once, I want him to come back so i will collect my international passport ,that is if he did it, then if he haven't , i will go do it myself then apply for the Visa & book for interview myself.. so what do you think? is their anyway i can verify if he has already did my international passport, i don't want to apply for another international passport & complicate things further, because am planning to go during spring, which is around March ending, would love my interview to be anytime in february to know my fate... Please what's ur take on my predicament?

Lucasbalo:
Go and apply for the visa by yourself. You don't need any proxy for American visa especially now with all the screenings because of terrorism. If anyone tells you he can assist you in getting US visa, it's a scam. Good luck.

Fine, i would do that but i don't know where to begin, dunno if he did my international passport, because i need it to apply

souleymon:
That you have a friend whose wife is American doesn't guarantee visa, that you have a friend who's American doesn't guarantee.
That your wife's American doesn't guarantee visa.Stop thinking because you got a contact in USA ease it.as said above, you need to be physically available for interview.proxy can be used for visa collection

Had it been i know it's this easy i would have done it myself and asked him to just invite me, finish, because i do a lot more complicated stuffs online as a webmaster... I will ask him to get me my international passport n i will apply in person, i have spent 100k+ on that long list he gave me...

Am not dump or greedy, it's just trust n he has already betrayed it...

TheCongo2:
Question 1.
He didn't even indicate that his friend is married to an American.
He wrote "he’s married to a white woman, so he’s automatically a citizen…"
How pathetic for OP to come to such conclusion!

Ikr.. I'm as clueless as clueless

cozybunch:
You said a friend is to sponsor you, I guess on tourist visa category. My question to you is that you have read a lot of thread on visa application, is the process your friend is taking, the process you ' ve read so far?. You, youself is not convinced of the process, why opening up this thread?

There are standards well set and threads opened for people to read and follow. Follow those threads please. A lot you wrote shows you done follow threads.

1. How can you be a citizen because you married an American?

2. How can your friends wife need a third party on an invitation letter?

3. How can you get an american visa without appearance?

I will rest on this three because I do not want to write long and wast this thread. Please follow threads

Good Luck

Thanks

travelpoint:
Your friend cannot sponsor you. To be able to sponsor u, you must be in the following category - son, daughter, father, mother, spouse, fiancee, sister and brother. What u need from your friend is IV letter, data of his passport or copy of his green card. Note - us citizenship is not automatic when you married a US citizen, that notion is wrong. You have to go through a process, first u get temporary green card ( if ur marriage is less than 2 yrs), after after 19 months u can apply for permanent GC and later citizenship. You can only get all these if u are approved by immigration. Most people are not approved.

Thank's a lot, if i want go on springs which is around march 20 upward, when do i start getting ready, like when should i apply online for appointment and so?

LadyGuinivere:
Biko nwanne issit US Visa for all these things or visa to mars? Calm down and reason this thing eh. Why would u need an age declaration. AFTER producing a birth certificate? Ok o!
You have been told the agent and ur friend are scammers
You have been told to withdraw the application with fake docx and reapply.
The fact that The guy told u , u didn't need to appear for an interview sef.
Anyways please sha post your end point experience. We all de learn

So you're suggesting that going with passport, bank statements , proof of any business/properties in naija and stuffs printed online is enough ?

LadyGuinivere:
I will be quite honest with u, na one chance u enter.
At the point of entry the cbp goes your Interview transcript. They match your biometrics join to ensure its the same person.
This ur plan no 10 year ban cos agent will gee u fake visa and u go enter plane, spend money and the 'gate' them go return u and ban u.
And what the guy meant is, u can send somebody to pick up ur visa only and only after u have gone for the interview

Yes you're right.. saw it on US visa site.. thanks anyway

Well, you indicated in your other thread that you'd had an agent prepare an application for you:

https://www.nairaland.com/2803598/u.s-embassy-abuja-please-help..is

If you read through this thread you'll note an agent is a major red flag for visa apps.

The person i dealt with b4 said i must produce ;
Birth Certificate
Age Declaration
Waec
International passport
Yellow Card
Ebola free form
Police character assessment
NDLEA drug free form
Medical Report
Immigration Clearance
Immigration Expert form
National ID
Health Insurance scheme
Letter from church/attestation... how about that?

No documents needed, just your confirmation page, payments to gtb, appointment page. You are advised to carry any other documents you like that can help but you may not be asked. Read your other thread. You need to be careful. Us visa no hard to get, once you do the right thing.

Thanks bro, if i'm able to get all necessary document and do the needful online, how long does it take for me to get the appointment for interview?

Guys Please see my planned trip to Houston and pass your verdict... and my chances of getting approved...

NanaF:
Haha. Your friend is an agent. He's trying to scam you. Follow the advice you've been given by justwise and you'll be fine.

For more information on B1/B2 visas use these links
http://www.ustraveldocs.com/ng/ng-niv-typeb1b2.html

http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/visit/visitor.html

and also check the USA visit visa thread on nairaland.

I think you should equip yourself with information, put this whole arrangement on hold and Do It Yourself.

Thanks

justwise:
You can't because your fingerprint and other biometric details are needed and you have to be there in person

Lol.. we're done here.... abeg refer me to link that provides info on required document to enter U.S as a tourist, because i have a American female friend in Memphis who would provide a little help, she's not african tho, but black... my monthly earning are good, i can take good care of myself anyplace in the world providing i have internet access and laptop...

justwise:
That got nothing to do with the fraud he is about to commit, Anyway you will learn from the experience but after this your chances of getting visa to US in future has been reduced only if all the documents he submitted on your behalf are all fake including your name.

Hmmm.. na em be say i dey bigger soup na.... because i'm planning to go as a tourist before he jumped into the picture... to start with my predicament, First of all can one get international passport just by submitting only passport?? sorry for asking too much?

justwise:
Doing what? Getting people American visa without going for an interview?

But on the other hand, you mean "ALL VISA's" aside from Emergency or diplomat's requires the travellers presence?

justwise:
Doing what? Getting people American visa without going for an interview?

Travelling... i mean.. dunno about the visa... He has gone to 5 countries i can attest to... Trinidad, Brazil,Panama, Mozambique & U.S ofcuz

donkarly:
Anyone?

Guy please can u drop any direct contact here let's chat be it whatsapp, skype or fb, pls...

Everything will end very soon, weda good or bad, the end will justify the means... since one guy here mentioned about proxy collection, lemme hope for the best and expect the worse..

NanaF:
This friend collected money from you or referred the agent to you right?

Scam

He didn't refer any agent to me, he is using one guy who works at immigration office, his also an agent... he was here for long because the house project his trying to complete...

justwise:
Since you paid an agent to 'arrange' those documents i will advice you to stay away from American embassy even if invited for an interview because you are more likely to be banned. Or write the embassy to withdraw the application... your choice though

Hmmm... this one strong ooo... he has been doing it since, nobi today

justwise:
All scam, as a first timer you must attend an interview at American embassy. Your friend is a fraudulent individual.

Since you've spoken... make i watchout... not worried about the money spent tho, just the time wasted & effort put in...

claremont:
I don't think any embassy issues visas by proxy.

Thought so as well, but lemme see how it pans out... Wish anyone on nairaland had experience same thing...

claremont:
@OP: You may have possibly been scammed. The American embassy MUST interview you before issuing a visa.

Seriously... What about what that guy said about proxy?

more help pls..

donkarly:
Well,to the best of my knowledge, it is possible. There's what they call 'collection by proxy',meaning that the bearer has the owner's written n signed authorization to collect the document on his behalf

Thank you very much....

I created this account for personal reason, i have been member since 09….

Please i need ur urgent answer, my friend is preparing a sponsored visit for me to US, on his letter he pledge to take responsibility of me and that he will be held accountable for any of my action in the state, the thing here is, he’s married to a white woman, so he’s automatically a citizen… well we’ve paid agent to arrange the necessary documents, we submitted here including international passport, he said his wife have submitted all required documents in U.S, including a surety from his wife friend,because they said his wife must bring a third party to attest that the woman knows what she’s doing… To cut long story short, he said everything is okay now(Between the whole process took almost 3 months) that he’ll be expecting flight itineraries sooner or later from wifey(Also he said after getting everything set, he’ll be traveling to pick me up, we won’t be going same time)… Also, that they called him to come and sign some relevant stuffs as a sponsor in Nigeria US Embassy to pick the documents as well on my absence as none appearance, note, he said his wife sent his number to one man (Yoruba Man )in Nigeria Embassy Abuja that called him up… So the Ultimate Question here is, is it possible for anyone to collect traveling document with stamped international passport from Nigeria US embassy without the actual person presence i brought this up here because i kept wondering the authenticity of this package since he insist i won’t follow him to Abuja Embassy… Please i need a serious contribution from experience person, is it possible?
