Dazydear:
Please how do I apply for a conference visa and which visa type, I their any site to use, I need help as it is urgent, 09050268008

This thread is for people with U.S Visa.

Mjolnir:
no one cancelled, this period is simply not a travel season , and then school is on session as well.
it would be suicidal to try this in summer . i went to major cheap ticket sites and set up price based alerts..so i get alerted when any shift occurs in price ,

i understand some of the dynamics, hence if you read my post carefully, you will see i factored in most of the what ifs.
am even tempted to cancel the BA flight i got ytday...to buy the shorter delta ticket . still gat a few hours b4 my free 24hr cancellation window expires

Just pray you have no issue with those flight because the customer care will make you cry.

OmoBendel24:
True @the bolded. How many people really wan go holiday for inside that yeye cold? But don't try that rubbish for summer tickets from late May into June, till after summer, ticket prices will mostly only be climbing. Also avoid doing that for Christmas/New Year period, buy such ticket from between September and deep into November, that's even for those of us traveling from Naija to that side, but for those coming, na die!

Exactly and thanksgiving weekend.

I got my ticket in October for a December trip. I got a very good bargain. By the time I checked in November............ Choi!!!! No be small thing

lolzzzz very expensive right?

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.

Mjolnir:
well, i challenge/test everything, i dont just swallow it. cos some1 said so
try booking lagos to newyork or houston, check next weeks prices...versus 5months price.
then come back, lets talk.
you need to be aware that certain factors come into play in ticket pricing...such as holiday season, weather..winter/summer etc

the cheaper rates for booking ahead is more pronounced for local flights ....my 2 cents

From my experience, almost all plane will be fill from Europe to U.S and vice vicersa and the price always will almost remain the same except for weather conditions and holiday period, most issue is on the flight from Africa to these European or Middle East hub, filling the plane is tricky which leads to the difference in price, e.g Emirates : Lagos to Washington 14th February to 24th Feb is N332,000 and same route on May 14th to May 24th is N345,000. From these examples we can see that February 14th flight on Emirates is not filling up fast while the May 14th flight is performing normally for that date.
If you're tourist, I believe your decision should not be based on flight alone but hotel, Flight to New York is generally cheap but hotel is expensive, you won't get a standard room for $75 a night in a 3 star hotel in New York, calculating that amount over 10 days is like $800 the only advantage you will get from flying to New York is if you have free accommodation whereas you can get $450 for 10 days in another State.

fkj950ax:
It is a not a special case.

Your cheapest ticket 10 days to go will have some hidden restrictions, you better don't have any reason to deviate, alter or over pack luggage

It is not an age old logic.

It's a COMMERCIAL system by airlines to maximize profits on passenger tickets sales.

Yes true....

Mjolnir:
That age old logic, appears to be gradually going away..or mine is a special case.
Have been watching ticket prices for over 5 wks now, and it actually got cheapest about 10days to go.

Most times this is caused by change of equipment from 777 to A380

Chrisssss:
Not that. I haven't seen them for going to 10 years now and am also going there to represent my family

If you don't go, would they stop the wedding?

Chrisssss:
No am not married. My passport is still fresh. And am an office secretary.
What are my chances... fingers crossed

To be honest no chance but God can do miracle on your behalf.

Chrisssss:
Hi everyone, I recently joined the group and have been reading the thread from the part one. So am confused about the US Visa of a thing...my cousin sent me a wedding invitation for her wedding and she wants me to be among the groom's men that day. So I have paid for the Visa fees and booked an appointment already. I just need a heads up on what to expect during the interview pls.. sometime I get tensed thinking about wether I will be granted the Visa or not. And am the one sponsoring the trip. Please guys I need your advice

Are you married? Do you have any travel history? any kids? what do you do for a living?

imran90:
you cant speak for every in here bro.

I can because we don't support illegality here. Did you tell them you want to go and hustle at the embassy? why give us bad name? why make it hard for serious people to get visa? please go away.

imran90:
please what is the best answer to this question for someone going for hustle "What is the Purpose of Your Visit?"

We don't assist someone going to hustle here, this thread is strictly for legitimate travelers to U.S with the aim of returning to Nigeria after a short visit or for academic purposes.

OmoBendel24:
you say?

lolzzzz... bros no be put Pres. Buhari there, whatever issue you have with the President, please don't turn it on me and respect my opinion as I have respected yours, I will be objective with the issue on ground and Nigeria was not Dubai or Singapore before Pres. Buhari became President in 2015, Please can you get me a link to that travel ban in 19984, Please I beg you, please the link should not be from our uncooked journalist because in 1984 it was never travel ban due to Nigerian overstaying in U.S, I need a real reference. Thanks

flourishing247:
Isn't that expensive? I've not flown to Turkey before but I know some US tickets is cheaper than that.

it's same day ticket on e-visa... if you're traveling to Turkey next week you can get it as low as N260k but if you're traveling on e-visa then you must fly Turkish Airline which is N354,000.

Let us be guided

fkj950ax:
Seems he has like 600k to 800k to pay for ticket.
Your travel date is in about 30days, and you are dilly daddling on buying tickets.

Airline ticket prices increase every hour as the flight gets nearer. Even local flight.

Just paid around N535,000 for Turkish Airline to Istanbul for my sis.

NothingDoMe:
True trump respects strength. Also true, them don see us finish.

correct talk

KaptainAfrika:
You would be right but then you have to wonder why CHINA, SAUDI ARABIA with their wonderful HUMAN RIGHTS RECORDS do not have Visa restrictions by the US.

you fail to include Philipine, Egypt and Uganda..... They do not understand what is going on. Politics is bigger than your B1/B2, I'm not denying the fact that the Govt has failed massively but we do not help matters with the way we migrate to U.S and stay put illegally.

Nigerians with U.S Visa who decided to stay put in U.S or move to Canada from U.S are the reason for what is going on. We can only blame ourselves.

OmoBendel24:
I won't want to undermine the embassy though, but going by your transcript and profile, you mostly should have nailed this with just little margin for denial. But we no dey know finish!

Meanwhile, I go still tell you, una wey dey support the disaster GMB, una no dey go different market or EMBASSY from us. This refusal (and so many others of late) is a whole lot related to what this current government has turned the country into. Till 5-6 years ago here sef, everywhere still soft for that embassy, ordinary Ghana, SA or and UAE travel history still dey work that time. But una see una na?

nawa oooo..hnmmmmm

UhnNah:
Nada! Oyedepo that probably has VP’s number,VP has consul general’s contact and someone thinks he can’t get his visa denial overturned to approved with a ‘phone call’?!

US Embassy came out to deny the news, na we dey do ourselves... we want to see the downfall of Nigerians so badly.

Madlov3:
Guys my trip is March 7th! When is the best time to book flight?

Better book asap, we're slowly creeping out of winter.

KIYEH:
please how far about this, Nigerian ban from entering USA it's going to affect those people that are going for Conference.

There's no ban and if you have your visa you have nothing to worry about.

Spanishmilf:
Which call
If na ghana embassy I strongly agree, but Yankee embassy which call Oyedepo wan get.
Except Consulars are also taking Bribe, u no see wetin dem use atiku do before giving him visa

You know nothing.

Mjolnir:
no email , phone or contact details
pls, whoever he has bought ticket for successfully, should come and testify

Check that thread too... so far I've assisted more than 20 individuals on Nairaland with plane ticket to different part of the World.

My username is my yahoo email since 1998

rago:
It's well. Please, what's the purpose of the 10-day visit to NY? Did you want to go on vacation this winter?

No matter what, they have no reason denying him that visit visa.
I will advise everyone to stay away from applying for U.S visa in Nigeria for now.

OmoBendel24:
That definitely is the main/default account attached to your card, the current is the added/secondary one. If you like, have 10 million naira in your CURRENT ACCOUNT without money in that your SAVINGS ACCOUNT and you need to use that card for a POS transaction even in Nigeria and you happen to be in a place where their POS machine doesn't give you the option to select account type (it invariably will only pick your default account for the transaction), that transaction will not fly as long as you don't have that figure in your SAVINGS ACCOUNT.

Oh okay, I get it now thank you.

cretin:
Has anyone booked directly on delta airlines using his naija dom card?.
Tried booking recently and the shit didnt go through.
Gave 1 error about country or so.

What are the workarounds to this possible restriction

Make reservation and visit the Delta airline office in V.I to pay or go through travel agent it's cheaper.

fkj950ax:
Hi Seyewest,
Remember GT Debit card setting me up in DXB?
Finally got a chance sit down with my account officer today. She checked and said its just Current Account I am profiled for International Spend. I had money in Savings Account instead.

Oh... I see but I used my naira mastercard and it's a saving account.

Spanishmilf:
I thought he said immigrant visa.. Lol

I swear

Tinaslim:
He said Non-immigrant visa

Just read it again, mistake was from my side. I apologized to him for the mixed up.
