₦airaland Forum

123JohnF:
Dear lady, even here in nairaland you are writing in February you were planted an embryo and you are following the fertility treatment.
Are you sure, American embassy doesn't read nairaland when you were saying you are not pregnant? I think if it's not nairaland, VO did see you hiding your pregnancy or did see you are not telling the truth or in your last visit you were observed what were you doing in the states.
So better blame yourself, not me.

hnmmmmmmm

Ebalu953:
At fault in what way? Answer no? Of course i would like to give birth in the us when i get pregnant and dont want drama neither do i intend to use a visit visa to birth. I. Have been following the forum and we are always advised to speak the truth. I read here when one lady was asked same question and she answered same. She was granted the visa and adviced to pay all her bills if she gets pregnant within the 2yrs visa. Would i have lied Pls educate me. Thanks

I never said you should lie but the visa you're applying for is not for is not for birthing and in her case she said she's not sure and you can actually use your visa for visit and decide to use it for birthing afterwards so far your zero balance is in order and you did not accept discount.

Ebalu953:
So after waiting standing and sitting from 7:30am till 10:00am, i was finally interviewed at abuja. A white lady.
Me: good morning
Me: oh well i would love to but then i would have to discuss with my husband on that.
Vo: Am sorry at this time....hands me the blue paper. I didnt hear the rest and honestly didnt want to. I just carried my passport and blue paper and left. Currently eating hot banga, starch and fresh fish �

You're at fault and if you're regular with this forum you will know you're at fault big time.
Your answer to the pregnancy question is out of order.

Spanishmilf:
Some Consular are literally mean in this Lagos embassy...........they didn't ask for his purpose of travelling before denying him

Maybe what he filled was enough for them to refuse him.

OmoBendel24:
Awesome take.

"Jejelly" checking into an hotel works best. But seems cut costing is important here....

SLEEPING WELL IN THE PLANE FIRST AND BEINGFRESH ON ARRIVAL THEN COULD HELP TOO.

With the baggage in the mix, that's gonna be a hell of stress. This is the main reason I will normally suggest this person flies from JFK especially if the price difference isn't much, check your stuff in the very night you arrive and become light. Most airlines will be about $30 on first checked in baggage. Cheap still! Would have suggested Southwest, but I think they fly in and out from LGA, their baggage allowance is awesome.

TSA crew won't be available on all terminals of JFK, so you can only stay around the only 24hrs open one or you find your way to Downtown and flex jare!

Well, well. "Uberise" with your baggage to the Mega Bus Station and by all means check your stuff in if possible.... You are light thereafter and already around groove centre, oya go. Come back early enough to catch your bus. If groove no first dey your body, you go hear am oh!

Hopefully CBP "delays" and maybe Secondary Inspection won't have anything on you, else most of these options will come to nought.

She should Just fly to Chicago from Nigeria instead of JFK, the different is not up to N70K instead of going through stress.

7Alexandre:
I guess paying $70 by Bus is better than paying $150+ by flight...

He just has to make a decision between Price & Comfort...

Exactly

7Alexandre:
He can also take a Greyhound Bus from New York City to Detroit Michigan...

It’s cheaper but albeit a longer journey...

He just needs to compare & contrast Price versus Time and then make an ultimate decision...

If travel is less than 6 hours by road I rather choose bus instead of flight.

Beautyaddy:
Yes, people like you are not that many...especially with enjoying the Abuja connection nah

I'm just a servant...

Celeritas01:
Okay nice.. I would do just that.. Please, any idea the cost of a night hotel in newyork. I arrive late and NYCairporter bus service have closed by then.

Check online... I think you can get a cab to LGA.

smatadex:
Hello house, I will like to go to US for honey moon, we have no one there and no travel history, my wife has been denied once. Is there a chance for us or we should just sit down jeje

Try Mauritius, Cape Verde, UAE, Lebanon, EU, SA or even Thailand... Forget about U.S for now if your ''ties'' is not strong enough.

123JohnF:
She is retired now and she came to help Nigerians to understand our visas system and Nigerians here are so malicious digging on her and criticizing her. This lady is a high level professional and even if she wasn't, her advice is / was very valuable and losing her advice here, you lost, guys. Keep digging and criticizing.

If you know me, you won't open your mouth and spurt nonsense, all I said is that I don't believe she's real (Not a Consular Office) and added that I might be very wrong, fortunately a lot of sensible people explain things to me in details and to be honest I realized I was wrong about her all along. Which of these is hard for you to digest.

Spanishmilf:
well that you, but all d people I know that are in UK, USA and Canada they all entered with a visiting visa and that shit is annoying........

You're not wrong at all... just saying some of us are not like that.

ultimatebas:
He can get Emirates or Qatar Airline tickets "TO and FRO" for $1000(N360k) and he could lodge in an hotel for about $60(21,600) per night after tax. So about 7 nights would be about 150k. Feeding lets say 100k for the 7 nights. In all he would spend about 600k not even close to one million.

Nice calculation... feeding should be 50k for 7 days.

Spanishmilf:
I can't be the only one who don't believe people that want to go for conference in USA or a birthday party..... They just want to japa

But I did and it was publicize here, everyone from Omobendel, LadyG, Greengooner gave me tips on how to navigate different places in U.S and after 9 days I returned home. Not everybody want to Japa some of us just want to enter plane, play at the airport, stay a few days in foreign country and do a RTW trip.

OmoBendel24:
Seye, okay oh!

From the first image below (and the others too), giving particular attention to @the bolded, you no dey see say this one go be dem Lagos/AbujaNIV "teacher" and "elder sister"? And boasts of having processed 10,000s of visas?

I strongly believe she's whom she says she is. Person wey chop Russia in and out in "those" days? I say I believe say she be "agent" join sef!

With these kind of explanation and research, I have no reason to doubt her again. Thanks for taking your time to convince me, this is why I love NL. Thanks very much.

fcisca:
Not necessarily.
A good number of peeps that I know (colleagues) had successfully renewed their unused visas even without traveling elsewhere. One was invited after Dropbox and it was just a chat. No questions asked about the previous unused visa.

With these kind of explanation and research, I have no reason to doubt her again. Thanks for taking your time to convince me, this is why I love NL. Thanks very much.

Southural:
I need advice.
Am 23 studying in Russia. By September will be in 300l denied 4 times.
Denied lastly 2017. It was a friend inviting me to come.
He said said the same information showing in past applications is still the same show as of last denial.
That I should make some changes and come back.
Please what changes can be made?
Then No travel history. Which the vo highlighted.
Now travel history Seychelles, Maldives, China.
Now I have a confrence I would like to attend.
Please I have followed this forum for long time.
Please what your view and

Visit the EU extensively.

Celeritas01:
Okay sir.. Thanks alot. Sorry to bother you again
Please. My.final destination is Detroit, but I would stop at JFK first of all..
How do I connect to a local airport around?. Bus, hotel, how can I connect both airports sir?

Fortunately for you can get a ticket for Detroit in JFK if it's cheap but if not that means your domestic flight will leave from LGA. There's no subway or train that goes directly to LaGuardia. Instead, you need to follow one of these options. While JFK is only about 10 miles from LaGuardia Airport, it can cost up to $45 with a private car service or taxi between both airports. Fortunately, there is NYC Airporter, the only airport bus authorized by The Port Authority of NY & NJ. For only $17, you can board from all terminals at both. Travel time is about 1 hr, remember NYC traffic can be hectic, so please allow for extra travel time between flights.

Spanishmilf:
I don't think she is fake also because quora verify her [I don't mean blue thick] like IG.... If u ask any questions about immigration or visa processing on quora, kathryn Becker will be on the suggestion list and if she is fake I think quota will have block the account

It's a gut feeling and I maybe very wrong.

Blackfinegirl:
Really Why do you think so ?

It's a gut feeling and I maybe very wrong.

OmoBendel24:
Seyewest; hardly can that woman be fake. Person wey me dey even suspect say she be "Security Personnel" join sef? Our prejudices may make us get swayed (remember she's worked at different Missions of the US around the world, her views may then not completely cover how we think it works in their Nigeria Mission), but she seems sometimes to be in the mould of the VOs we have had here on NL, even a higher version of them on occasions...

Exactly US Homeland Dept won't allow someone with vast experience to rot away on Quora/Social Media (She's very good and remember I said may not be a Consular but very sure she has worked in various Embassy all over the world) but what do I know, it's just my gut feeling especially with her posting her pics isn't that risky?

[quote author=Spanishmilf post=78893176][/quote]As far as I know this Kathryn Becker is fake, I believe she was never a Consular maybe she has worked in the U.S Embassy but never as a Consular.

mousco:
Is there a current range figure one must receive a month to enable the VO approve Visa?

As is it now, have registered for a conference holding November 20 - 21. But I don't know if my monthly pay will convince the VO. And d pay is around 195k - 200k monthly

Please I want to know, cos I want to apply for Visa this week. Thanks

So you want to increase it?

freshStarz:
Pls someone should reply

Why should we when you can go through the thread... This forum is not an ATM machine, it will help you a lot if you can invest your time and energy in reading it through.

Spanishmilf:
i don't think ties,jobs are kinda necessary imagine a 16 year old boy going for a US interview B1\b2 what ties can he say he as?

Travel history, strong family ties....

Spanishmilf:
Some consular doesn't even ask for ties ,jobs or salary before denying applicants visa and issuing visas

Why ask when it was apparent in the form.

flourishing247:
Nope. I personally know two persons. One had 3x multiple that's over a period of 6 years. The other 2x multiple. Never used. They were issued visa.

it does not happen anymore unless you have an exceptional travel history with other countries.

Osahon7:
thanks Sir.. let me start the intense book work for my exams. I need to ace that exams with high grades menh.

Congrats

id911:
Good day everyone!

Please I need info about my sister traveling intent. She's about applying for a visit visa and she intends to go/travel during the next long school vac since she's working in a post primary school here in Nigeria.

There're two options available for her invitation and stay there for the short visit. An uncle, who's been staying in the States since the late seventies but has been coming to Nigeria almost every year but recently retired as the Head of a School there, and her friend who's a PR holder who got there through Visa Lottery Program. Both are home owners in the US. They are ready to give her invitation, accommodate her during the short stay and even financially too, if need be.

I want to know which of these two people invitation would be best for her so we know the one to go for. Or is it possible for the two of them to work together on her case to make it easier?

Forgive me, I don't know much about this traveling stuff. She's quite older than me but I'm her 'guide'

Everything is on point but your sister ''ties'' to Nigeria must be strong and I'm sure she has a lot of travel history.

PinkSunset:
Bikonu, i have question. The last visas we were given, we haven't used it and I'm not sure we will use it this year sef. It expires March next year (i think).

If we don't use it at all, do you think it will affect our chances of renewal when we need to get them renewed?

Yes I believe it will affect your application unless you've travel a bit to other countries apart from U.S within that 2 yrs.

awumen:
@omega30,please keep all these research and don't mislead people here. This your info is the type that add to the wahala of genuine travellers at the embassy. No one is advised at this time or any time stall to stay 6 months straight unless pregnancy related (that VO, was infomed).dont stay 6 months, don't use agents.

I'm not sure he has traveled to U.S before.

Omega30:
.I think B1 is not just for Conference/ Seminar bro: The holder of a B-1 visa, or a person travelling for business without a visa under the Visa Waiver Program, may undertake any one of the following activities:

Attend business or professional conferences or conventions
Consult with business associates
Negotiate contracts
Purchase goods or materials
Appear as a witness in court trials
Undertake independent research

Travelers entering the U.S. under the B-1 classification may not perform productive work or accept paid or unpaid employment. Copied from US embassy and consulate site

There was nothing about working on behalf of his company during the Visa Interview.
