Brief history
birthed my son in 2015, birthed my daughter in 2018
I was very scared because of all the stories of people not been able to renew their visa because of child birth, went with both receipts and document, and not one was asked for.

Alot of people where denied, noticed only two approvals before mine, families denied, couple, elderly woman etc, it was a very tensed atmosphere.
Noticed a preggy but she was denied.
Someone going for training in August was approved but he was told to send a mail towards the end of May so he can drop off his passport at DHL as it was too early now

A big thank you to this forum for all the info,

Please who has recently travelled with a B1/B2 and what’s your POE experience

I'm applying for US visa with my family ,paid for the visa fee through an agent since early February, the agent claimed to get a date for this year we need to pay 100k each . for a family of 5,I felt it was too much so we negotiated to 50k each , that makes it 250k for buying date ,I am yet to pay for that ,only made payment for visa fee and service charge. now I'm hearing that there's no available date for this year untill march 2022, , this agent is mounting pressure to pay for remaining 250k to buy date for this year and the way pressure mounting on me makes the whole thing suspicious. please is it possible that agent can buy date from the website cos when I also checked I saw next available date is for march , is It possible? this will be my second attempt with my family on the US visa ,, we are currently in UK now for holiday ,.I don't just want to waste more money .

No, it wasn’t because of that. This is not the first time I’ve used an almost expired visa to travel, like less than 2 weeks to expiration.

The visa allows you to board the plane as long as it’s still valid.

I forgot to mention here, someone told me it could be because I bought the ticket in the morning and flew that same evening and this was due to the fact that I was turned back at the airport by Lufthansa the previous night. They were only carrying citizens and PRs. I had to buy another one the next morning through MR Seyewest who saved me from unnecessary stress.

Most people from that plane were sent there anyway so I really don’t know their reason.

My POE story.....

I flew Turkish airline to Houston from Abuja. Lay over was around 9 hours at Instanbul: I dreaded this long wait but It didn’t bother me in the long run as I purchased internet service on my phone for around $7 valid for 24hrs. They only have free access for an hour. Turkish airline is also now becoming stingy, before they give food voucher that can even get u 2 meals but now they said voucher only for 12 hrs or more layover. I had to buy food this time.

On getting to Houston; the CBP officer asked whom I would stay with, how long and when was the last time I visited, then he took my picture. I thought that was the end until he beckoned on another officer to take me in for secondary interview. I was shocked but calm. I was not expecting that since I had passed there multiple times.

The room was full of people waiting for their case to be attended to by 4 officers at the long desk. There were also like 6 smaller rooms labeled interview room and an exit door for those that would not be allowed entry but sent back home. Like I said, I wondered what I was doing there and prayed silently not to pass through that exit door cos I saw someone being escorted through.

I was going for an exam and while waiting doing nothing I decided to bring out my big book to study. After about 30 min, I needed to use the restroom and as an officer came to call someone into one of the mini interview rooms, I told him I wanted to go to d restroom but couldn’t find one, he told me to go meet the officers at the front desk to get the key and I did. After coming out and returning the key, the guy just told me to stay for my interview. It went thus;

CBP: where are you coming from
Me: Nigeria
CBP: Did u come direct?
Me: no, passed through Turkey so lay over at Istanbul
Cbp: oh! Ok. So where are u going to stay
Me: told him
Cbp: how long?
Me: 1 month
Cbp: why are u here
Me: to write an exam
Cbp: oh! U’re a professional?
Me: yes
Cbp: remove ur mask and face the camera. Stamped me in for 6 months. Enjoy your stay

Meanwhile, my visa is due to expire this month end. It doesn’t matter though, it’s d duration of stay that matters


I don’t know the criteria they use to call people but definitely not according to as u arrived there cos if it had been, I would have stayed at least 4 hrs there before it reached my turn but I spent less than an hour there.

I just thank God that I wasn’t sent back. I have a good travel history though and have never overstayed my visa.

NB. They didn’t ask for my Covid result on arrival

Important info that I forgot to mention here. [b][/b]

If u’re on B1/B2 visa, avoid European airlines and BA for now, they are only carrying citizens and permanent residents. I was turned back at the airport by Lufthansa. I had to contact our dear Mr Seyewest who was able to get me Turkish ticket the next morning at a very very affordable price. You wouldn’t even know that it’s an express ticket to tell you low it was.

Thanks again MR Seyewest for relieving my stress and saving me from unnecessary worry.

Chiboy91:
What's the latest date on B1/B2 interview?

Infiosa:


I will definitely get in touch. I'm hoping for a refund.

Infiosa:


Nice job Seyewest! I may have to contact you soon as I'm planning to travel this month via Emirates Airlines but their flights have been suspended flying in and out Nigeria until further notice. I'm actually hoping for a refund as the travel restrictions placed on Nigerians by the carrier is annoying.

fkj950ax:


Yep.
He's a real O. G.

TheEnforcer:
But Turkish is also a European flight?

shakidude:
Hello everyone, if you are traveling to U.S, and on a B1/B2 visa, pls avoid European airlines and BA. I was turned back at the airport on my scheduled Lufthansa flight. They were only carrying citizens and permanent residents. My Plans were disrupted but thanks to Mr Seyewest. I remembered that I had read a post here on how he helped people to book ticket while being trustworthy and professional. I contacted him the next morning and he didn’t disappoint. He got me a Turkish ticket to fly that same day at a ridiculously low rate. I didn’t bother to unpack my luggage from the car, I just rested for a while and headed back to the airport.

Mr Seyewest kept checking up on me till I reached my final destination in the U.S. He relieved my stress. I will definitely contact him again for other travels. I recommend him to anyone planning same.

Thanks a lot Mr Seyewest. You really saved me from unnecessary worry. God bless you

planetx:
Ok Mr lover man.

Prisscindy:
Hi,

Can travellers with B1/B2 visa travel to the US now?

Saw that some airlines won't carry them so I was wondering

Labelle:


Can we apply for US visit visas now? Or are they only processing immigrant visas? Please someone respond. Thanks

phinairere:


I’m so grateful for this platform, thanks to everyone who tried to help me, it was my mistake, I didn’t even see the part where I was supposed to choose my country

@seyewest thank you so much, I opened a new profile using a different email address, and it worked, so grateful ���

One more thing please!!!! I tried adding my daughter as a dependent (family member to travel with)and I was told I can’t add her. What could be the problem, and what can I do to rectify it

phinairere:


Just tried this morning again. Kindly help me out����

babs4all:
Well, please note that letter of invitation for a non immigrant visa is useless as far US embassy and consulate are concerned. They don't care to check. There is 98% chance that they will not request to see any of your documents. You don't have a job in Naija. That's a red flag. What are you returning back to Naija to do? You are seeing as a potential japa master especially when there's no travel history. Except miracle happens, your profile is not looking good. I am sorry for being blunt.

theiky:


Lmao!! The struggle is very real outchea!!! So many dating platforms but someone decided to come here scouting smh

megastu:
Its been like this like forever. My first and only Visa Interview was in 2008 and even at that time a lot of rejections including a banker.

Bankers then were privileged career people not to talk of now that banking job is not regarded as anything. I can imagine that lot more people are now applying even if not qualified. Many try their luck and some are lucky though.

Kemo88:
Had my appointment and my visa was approved.
A lot of people were rejected. As usual there was a VO rejecting almost everyone and I was praying not to be sent there.
We were all standing in front of the VOs. I was the last on the queue. At some point it was a lady and I left there other people behind us were still taking finger prints. It was the lady’s turn but the VO directly in front of us asked me to come to him and he sent the lady to another VO. The VO who called on me wasn’t the one Viciously rejecting people but he just rejected the 3 People before me
My transcript:
VO: *cracks an initial joke and laughs
Me: *laughing even though I didn’t hear what he said



This was my longest us visa interview. I don’t know why. thank God for everything

oluayebenz:


No VO will denied you with this your profile nah.

So why worried?

remzor:
Good evening house. God bless everyone contributing their quotas here. Here’s my problem, my cousin sent me an invite. I made the visa fee payment at gtb myself, snapped and sent the slip to my friend in the USA to help
Me fill it. Cos I don’t wanna make a mistake. He then gave his friend in the UK who’s a travel agent to fill it for free. He didn’t ask of my passport to upload. He only asked of my bio data, I sent him the a copy I snapped with my phone instead of a scanned one. I was at work and promised to scan the bio the following day. I was surprised he processed everything without asking for my passport. Now, he used two names instead of three names on my international passport. And I can’t edit it. He registered via this site: https:// cgifederal.secure.force .com. Someone should pls help me on how I can edit it properly. Thanks

seyewest:
Guys I have a small problem, I'm working on a particular U.S visa application and the surname is three (3) letters, anytime I fill the first page of ds160 it keep logging me out, do I use the first name which is more than 3 letters or what can I do?

AfonjaBoston:

AfonjaBoston:


Hmmmm you don't schedule an appointment for a CR1 or IR1 its auto scheduled by the NVC.

You sure no be dream you dey dream.

Damian457:
I landed Boston logan airport some hours ago.

Me: Hey Good afternoon, how’s it going?
CBP: I’m doing good, where are you coming from?
Me: Lagos Nigeria
CBP: purpose of visit
Me: Business and Visiting my Elder Brother
CBP: How long are you staying for
Me: 3 weeks

She asked me to remove my face mask and captured me
Cbp: Apart from the last time you visited the US, have you been to the US before?

Me: No.
Cbp stamps my passport for 6months.

I went to baggage claim and was referred to Agriculture specialists. men those guys drilled me

CBP: Do you have any fruits or meat?
Me: Nope (I didn’t know my Mum packaged garden egg and Yam for my Elder Brother), the cbp checked and saw garden egg, yam and ungrounded Egusi.
He told a white CBP lady to depose all the Egusi and the reason was because I didn’t grind it.
He asked me where I did covid test , I said in a private Laboratory in Benin City Nigeria, then he said some Nigerians pay 50k and get fake covid Report from the airport, as I was about replying he said I shouldn’t bother to argue about it so he doesn’t take it further and his friend who is a Nigerian told him.
The CBP guy said he would have fined me $300 for bringing those stuffs but this is gonna be like a warning.
He scanned my passport and told me to go.

starbn:


well.I think we all assumption here.

because I have every prove to them that I have a stable job here and I'm sponsoring my trip.

I don't really know they disqualified people under section 214 and technicalities use by them to disqualify.

they can decide in their own not to give.

Damian457:
Is a US visa with 3 months validity still valid?

Obaolami:
Hello everyone, please I need help for a sister.

What documents does a single mother of one needs, aside from affidavits, to travel out of the country with her child?

She already gone to do their passports but according to her, it wasn't easy because they requested for letter of consent from the child's father, and she told them the father's whereabouts is unknown. She was told to make 2-affidavits (one for single mother and the other for facts) after which they were interviewed, their files verified, approved and they got captured.

She said she was told to keep copies of the affidavits because she will need them when they want to travel.

@justwise, seyewest please help

quincynyc:
