I only saw VERY FEW white paper being given.

Window 2. Young pleasant American guy
My transcript
Me: a couple of places. Uk, france, Thailand, Italy, Rome, Spain, Singapore, china, Hong Kong, Dubai, Ghana, Brazil, South Africa....
Vo: that more than a couple(laughs)for business or pleasure?
Me: (smiles) both. Asia for business the rest pleasure.
Vo: how many staff do you have working for you.
Me: told him
Vo: ok I would be approving your visa, hands white paper. Pick it up from......
Me: thank you.

wuki:
If you have a valid and candid explanation for your relatively long stay in UAE, you should have no problem. Yes, be sure to let the VO know you have a job in the UK and will be relocating there soon; you're visiting the U.S for vacation pending when you can move to the UK. Say it in a way that assures the VO you will need to return to Nigeria to make necessary arrangements for your relocation to the UK. I however wouldn't mention to VO that there's a possibility of not using the visa if it is granted.

Blisz2:
Any idea guys?

abeniagbon:
advertising for US embassy, when last do you see transcript been drop here. check Canada tread always bubbling with of visa approval

PinkSunset:
I like to travel light as well...if not for my sister's luggages, i would travel with only 3 or even 2 boxes and come back to Nigeria with 8 .

I'm going with only 2 personal wigs...no attachments.

Thanks for your input.

adeney93:
Do we have anyone in the house that applied for US B1/B2 Visa with the intention of going for Conference and the VISA was approved??

flourishing247:
No weave, wigs, attachment except for personal use. Anything that looks like commercial quantity please stay clear. The contents of your box matter a lot. Personally I travel light but come back heavy.. That should be the case for a tourist. Except you don't want to shop, then you explain that if you are asked at Poe

Annypooh:
If you had told the VO during ur interview that u knew no one or had no one in the states it might be a problem if u show up at POE with 5 bags saying they're for someone. Secondly the contents of all 4 bags matter oh! If u feel this might hold u up at secondary inspection for hours then u might wanna rethink that move...those homeland officers aint playing these days!

Muchluv3:
Hello house,

I'm a silent reader. Pls I need ur help

I applied as a student last year March which i was denied. Now, I want to
know my chances of getting US tourist visa and if i eventually get it, can i
travel from UK to America cos I have d intention of visiting UK before going to
US. I have my UK visa already.

Route
Lagos - UK - US - Lagos

Hotstfz007:
Got my visa approved yesterday. Renewal though. The denial rate is very very high.

PinkSunset:
Yes, I'll be doing the packing myself.

PinkSunset:
Hello everyone...I'll be travelling to the U.S next week with my 4 kids, and we intend staying for 2 weeks. I agreed to carry some things to my sister who lives in the states, so i might end up carrying up to 5 suitcases. Would that be a problem at the POE since we would be there for just 2 weeks? Would they ask why we are carrying up to 5 bags?

sharpman1:
Actually, 3 Emirates flights now leave Lagos daily. Even for flights to Houston, there is the option of a 1 hour lay over.

ayenikunle:
Lagos do enjoy that too if the available flight is 8hrs+ (without shorter flights)

overlord77:
Make dem no collect her husband passport come cancel the visa o . Just kidding

corrall:
Hello all, please I would like to gather advise on this;

we would like to go on a family holiday in the US at Christmas time, my hubby already has his Visa which he used earlier in the year. We have our interview coming up next month. I would like to know which is better, to carry a photocopy of his Visa or carry the passport along. Thank you.

Teshoma1111:
From Lagos to Washington DC, via dubai.
I'm going with Emirates

Teshoma1111:
Thank you Seyewest, beautyaddy and Omobendel, I've actually booked with Emirates with a shorter lay over- 2hours. I don't want to risk anything lol.

Ps: I am a 'she'

overlord77:
Why do that, have you got things to hide
Those guys generally do background checks on people entering their soil. These days, almost everyone has a digital footprint online and it goes beyond WhatsApp messages.

If you are clean,then fear not

Teshoma1111:
Hello guys.
I am about to book my ticket. The stop over is London heathrow, in the evening, For onward journey to the US the next Morning. But I don't have a valid UK visa. Is this going to be a problem. So I can check for other airlines.
Your swift response will be appreciated.

general1970:
No mind am, he sounds frustrated and forgot polite answer turns away wrath.

general1970:
You advise him not blast him, 80% of Nigeria immigrants have same intent and didn't come back till date. Next time tell him the visa categories he should go for, and you don't tell people what is accepted or not in public forum cos it's not yours.

manneger2:
Are u sure ur ok, u write jargon in the name of replying someone, I only ask you which visa will be easier for me to get as am in uae, because my intention of coming to usa is to stay back and work and find way to legalize my stay, u start writing jargon, I wonder what u gain in making people feel bad about thier self, never u quote me again because u lack common sense.

manneger2:
Visit but which one will be easier school or visit

manneger2:
Hello guyz, pls as a resident visa holder in dubai, I have a good friend in USA that want to help me to come over, pls what and what will i be needing to apply from uae here, i have stayed A year plus in uae, with residence, doing a security job, the person inviting me is pr Residence in USA, he was born there, how will I apply here in dubai, and is going through Msc possible from here?

tripleaa:
Good morning folks. Kindly advice me on this: I applied for a student visa in 2007. I had to travel to lagos to sit for SAT exams as the centres were almost non existent in abuja then. Unfortunately I was issued a fake result. Unknowingly I took it to the embassy then and I was denied based on that document. Fast forward 12years after. I have an Msc, married with 3kids and work with an international development organisation. I now seek to apply to go to the US with just my wife and last born. My wife runs a business where she sells baby cloths and beauty products. I want to ask what are our chances of been issued a visa? Do you think I was banned when I first went to the embassy 12years ago? Is it better we apply to go the UK first before applying to the US embassy? Please not that I still do not have any travel history. I will appreciate your response and admonitions.

ultimatebas:
Why do you wanna sleep at the embassy ? Is that your home? Lodge in a hotel in Victoria Island. So you have money to pay for visa and holiday expenses but DEAD BROKE when it comes to lodging in a hotel for one night before your interview? My fellow Nigerians , you guys never cease to amaze me.

OmoBendel24:
That’s actually the way it is my broda. The news is 3 years ago though.... Even our Nigeria visa on arrival that is valid for only 15 days goes for about $180-200.

Reciprocity indeed! And we have several bitter people saying the Americans are “cheating” us, people that are so docile they can’t even ask their own government a single question oh!

One major thing I have come to realise is that as much as 80-90% persons with US visa refusals I have come across actually wanted to bolt with the visa. Then those with approval are mostly people that plan to go and come back (except for recent times sha), at least in my own circle. Una lie! In essence, these guys (VOs) are mostly getting their job done appropriately, yeah. Be sincere with yourselves please, the bulk of you lot busy liking some nonsense and senseless posts on here are majorly INTENDING IMMIGRANTS that got beaten to their own game, BITTER.... Simple!

I dey my area, make una come beat me na!

overlord77:
Nigerians una too boast abeg, who gives a flying F about your travelling history? Let's remain focused on the objectives of this thread. It's only for voluntary knowledge sharing for others to learn. Visa application and eventually issuance is not a right, if one gets denied, they take it that way and try again some other time. Those that got theirs approved don't have two heads neither does it make all denied applicants dunce.

Anyway, in other news. Just saw this.
