OyoTunjiUSA:
Hey 🤠

Here is the embassy guidelines:

1. To schedule an appointment for you and your family members, please sign up first on usvisaappt.com.

2. Once the account was created, on ''My Dashboard'', click on ''Create New'' button in order to start the scheduling process; you will need to choose the application country, the service type, the visa category and visa class.

3. Before paying the visa fee, you will have the option to add the family members applying together with you, and to provide the personal details for each applicant. The visa fees will be calculated based on the information you provide, and you will be able to schedule appointments for each family member.



****. Please note however that some U.S. Embassies or Consulates may request the visa applicants to schedule individual appointments; in this case the option to add the family members will not appear during the process, and you will need to schedule each person separately. You will not need however to create separate accounts for each person, but use the same account as for your application.

Best Wishes 🙏

Thank you sir

1. Yes. Embassy will provide interpreter in one of our major national languages , but if Mama's language does not have an interpreter (on that particular day of interview), then, the embassy will ask her to bring her personal interpreter (possibly re-application or 221g scenario).



PS: I am certain of Igbo, Hausa, and Yoruba interpreters at the USA embassy.

🙏

Hello sir Tunji, please can you help me clarify how do I proceed to add my kids to my application on the new portal. I’m a new applicant. I was only able to pay for myself and still waiting for the payment to be validated. My kids are minors and I’m confused if it’s okay to start a separate application for them or ensure I add them to mine.
Please your input will be appreciated 🙏🏾

Please how can one include dependent on the new website. I was told I have to do it separately with different email for I and each of my kids. Please how true is this? Any tips or advice on how to proceed. I started my application to proceed to payment but no could not find any part to include them. This is where I am confused

Congratulations

***Window 10 Bald white American

Me… Good afternoon sir
VO: Hello, May I have your passport and i20?

VO: I can see you work with a farm or something..
Me: Yes. I work with PMICH farms Nigeria limited, we are premium suppliers of high quality agriculture products across Nigeria but the company will be extending supplies across Africa and I see this as an opportunity for me to acquire more knowledge in my field to land a managerial position in my work place.
VO: Oh! You will be coming back to work in this company?
Me: Yes sir. The company has given me a leave without pay for the duration of my studies stating that I will return to take a managerial position as soon as I’m done with my degree. I have a letter to that effect here with me. Will you like to see?
VO: oh no it’s okay. Who is sponsoring your studies ?
Me: My father
VO: And what does he do?
Me: He imports high tech media equipments for private media companies and also buys and sells landed properties and he’s also a politician.
VO: …types for some seconds, everything looks good. (Handed me the white paper)
And I honestly didn’t hear anything he said after that…
Me… Have a good day sir�

Honestly…. It can only be GOD’S GRACE. BE PRAYERFUL�� AND PLEASE BE WELL PREPARED.

Maximum thanks to everyone posting their transcripts here and for all the guidance. GOD BLESS ��

Congratulations!!!!! So happy!!!

I will do that, thanks

Moshkom:
I should have. If not, kindly DM on the social media in my signature.

Hi Moshkom, please do respond to my mail request. Thank you

Moshkom:
Quick One:

There is ZERO emotions in this USA path.
They’re ready to toy with your emotion, no matter who you are at any time of your USA application (visa or school).

Keep your emotions AWAY from this path.

Just move on and/or try again elsewhere (another country).

You’re NOT a failure because of a denial.

PS: Not trying to promote an act or musician, but if you ever feel like giving up, listen to Burna’s TAT album. You would be fine and later level up.

GOD NO GO SHAME US!!

- Moshkom.

Congratulations

The kids are not eligible for interview as they are under 14. So no questions for them, just their passports think. For the first question, someone else can help wth the answer

Thank you, still hoping for more response

beejhay69:
1. Yes and It's not a big deal, you'd just have to explain plans in place to take care of the children while you're schooling.
2. No.

Thank you for responding, God bless you
Please any suggestions on how best to convince the V.O on plans to take care of the kids? What are the things I'm expected to have in place tobe able to travel with them.. I have not been able to find anyone in my shoe on this thread.

I need the experienced ones to help with this. I am a single mum with two kids going for MBA by Spring/Summer. I have two questions please:
1. Would I get any question on my marital status? I am confused as regards getting questions on taking the kids with me. They are age 6 and 8
2. Would the kids be asked any question during the interview?
Thanks in advance

Hello everyone, please I need the direct link to the page for information on Masters studies in the US especially with options of scholarship. Thanks in advance

TIP #6: Fruit juice isn't as healthy as most people think either. Juice actually has a lot of sugar in it as well. If you are craving a glass of juice, drink fresh fruit juice instead of juice that has artificial flavors and coloring.
It is even better if you can make your own fruit juice. Just be sure not to add too much sugar which adds to the calories. Instead of drink fruit juice, eat more fruit. Fruit provides your body with much needed fiber as well as
vitamins.


TIP #7: Go easy on the tea and coffee. They are pretty much harmless if you don't add a lot of cream and sugar to them. It is the cream and sugar that becomes fattening. Think of it this way, when you have a cup of coffee or tea with cream and two cubes of sugar, you are essentially eating a piece of chocolate cake every time.


TIP #8: If you must have your tea and coffee, try to drink it black. Black tea or coffee actually has health benefits to it as long as you counteract the
caffeine in your body with a nice big glass of water. Caffeine is also not good for you because it affects functions in your body, like your
metabolism.

Another type of tea that you can drink freely is green tea. Green tea has been used as a medicine in China for over 4,000 years. It aids the digestive system and can help ease an overly full stomach and it has been linked to a
reduction in cancer risk.


TIP #9: If you can say no to alcohol, then that is best. Alcohol beverages are not exactly good for you, although a glass of red wine does have heart benefits, most are just fattening. Beer is especially fattening. Cocktails are fattening depending on what they are made of. For instance, whiskey and Coke. The whiskey may not be fattening, but the Coke definitely is. Plus,
after a few drinks most people get the munchies and when you're feeling a little inebriated and hungry you won't be able to make rational decisions regarding your diet and it's usually late at night, just before you pass out from a night of drinking, that you overeat. The overall combination is just not a good one.


TIP #10: If you must have alcohol, try dry wine. Dry wine is better than your sweet wines, because sweet wines have more sugar! Dry wines have sugar, but most of it has been fermented away into alcohol and from a
weight gaining perspective, dry is better.


TIP #11: Another word on coffee, that is not necessarily bad, but more
interesting than anything. Some people have reported that when they drank black coffee before exercising, they lost more weight. There's no scientific proof to back this, but nutritionists believe it may be caused by the body being forced to depend on fat for fuel. Hey, it's worth trying if you can stand black coffee. Just remember to drink plenty of water during
your exercise!


TIP #12: Avoid drinking excessive amounts of coffee, as it desensitizes
your body to the natural fat burning effects that caffeine has. One or two
cups (if the day's really slow to get started) max....

To be continued!!! Any questions?? Comment below!!!

Great piece
I really love having coffee and I usually take it black anytime of the day. Does this mean I might actually be stalling my weight loss?

This is really educating. Thank you for this piece
I really try to be a good example to my kids. My major challenge now is helping my son overcome his shyness. This act always make him seem weak. Often times he cries when he should defend himself especially among his peers. He is 7 now but I want to instill that confidence in him early on. Any insight or advise for me.
Jazakumlah khairah

We are too funny in this country. Viewing centres of all the places to reopen?
We are watching
That's why some folks won't still believe the shit is real in Nigeria. How can you make decisions like this?
I guess he is not getting part of the Covid funds as expected

Imagine the arrant talk... I will not like to experiment with your children...
Really When have you ever cared?
We already know your children are not packed like sardines in the government schools. Just spare us and stop any plans of reopening schools now.
Except you can provide adequate safety gears for both teachers and pupils/students

This is so pathetic. How were they able to kill so many of them at their duty post? My heart goes out to their families. May God be with them

All these pastors complaining are only thinking about the impacts on tithing when congregation is reduced. They are not bothered about their welfare. Selfishness is all I can read here

slyfox35:
They are saying someone did not go to school,you are writing long letter to him...he can’t and won’t read it,and if someone else reads it for him,he can’t hear because he has ear problems too
Good luck on him getting your open letter

This statement cracked me up. He came to power to fulfill his heart desires and not what Nigerians want. I have not seen him achieve one of his change mantra. See how Tinubu's camp is quiet now over the current state of the nation

kalan:
I guess you want to apply for International Relations... Right?

If that is correct.. The right course for you is MPIA.

Let. Me know if that serves your purpose.

Thanks

Yes, I don't really know the name of the course in Unilag. I had like to know other courses open for B.A English

Hi Kalan, I have B.A English from Unilorin. Can I apply for MISS? If not which masters courses are open for English language graduate.
Thank you

Ginomel:
Thanks for expressing yourself angrily without any insult, maybe that's why I am giving you this audience.

Kudos for being very faithful even when exposed out there.

You can never take away the fact that most men out there with their Wives in Nigeria misbehave.

Only a small percentage of men are reasonable and know why they are out there and not with their families


I offered my realistic reason and no time for ostrich method.




let's hope the husband is among the very few that have integrity

Oh sure you don't need to worry about that. He is a good man with integrity.

Kollyman:
Something is wrong with you.

That's how you people go about spoiling and polluting people's relationships and marriages.

You teach this lady the wrong thing, she engage the husband with a lot of troubles as if the man is not doing it for the family. Before you know what's up, problem sets in and ladies like you will want to give such a man a shoulder to lean on....

@OP, I know what you are passing through and I can tell you that your husband is passing through similar situation. For the sake of your kids and the family, please endure it,all will turn out for good very soon.

Note: Looking for solace elsewhere is suicidal and you might hate yourself for it for the rest of your life.

Nah...I am not thinking about those ones that can't keep a home. She is likely not married to give such advise anyway. Not all married think of cheating.
I am keeping myself for him. Hopefully we can go for a visit soon after this pandemic. I just wanted to hear from women in similar situation. I won't shame myself by committing adultery.
What else can I do to endure it all since I know there is light at the end of this tunnel
Thanks

MPESA:
If You don't have any reasonable thing to say kindly don't bother to talk BTW stop all this beautiful ladies in abroad here and there. I have been away a couple of time without messing up NOT EVEN BY MISTAKE.... So if I can stay for 2+ without messing up , I believed That there's a lot of men and women who are like that as well...

P.s
You don't have any evidence that this man is cheating or whatsoever.... Stop all this nonsense theories without fact , it can destroy family you never know how much they have put together to build...

You are quite right. My husband is very faithful and I thank God for that. He will never cheat because he knows why he is there. It is so unfortunate that the thread I opened seeking help and guidance has been hijacked by naysayers. Thank you for proving that good men are still out there

Gaggi:
Most women clamor for abroad based husbands without knowing the challenges involved. Keep praying for his success. One day you will all be reunited, hopefully in the US.

Amen, thank you for the kind words

fredopareto:
will u tell ur daughter or sister to do likewise

Some people are just sick on here

Glink2018:
This idiot pray and pray before she gets husband oh! She now get that man finish, she no wan make the man rest..single ladies plenty for US wey den dey even looking for free is.
Wetin women wants self.?.so, make the man die because he don marry you...you better manage the situation...there are a lot of your mates wey no get bf talkless of husband. You come see the man finish, you come still dey complain.....don't worry, some slay queens go come help you manage am, shebi Nah you still they complain....

Personally, I can stay with my wife for long...the reason is because of women wahala. All women are potential wahala....waiting to happen.

You are a such a dumb sad fellow for calling another person idiot. You know what just go for therapy to cleanse your depressed sickened soul.
Gosh... WTF
BTW just to let you know again. Not everyone is sick in the head as you obviously are. We got married after school. No praying to find a husband here.

AIT1:
I'm starting to have a rethink as regards this Covid19 cases in Nigeria. It is either the government is over- reporting or under-reporting this cases. I'm not convinced they are sincere with the figures, I might be wrong though.

But this is my take:

The Corona Virus in Nigeria is not as Lethal as we were made to believe. The late Abba Kyari came back to Nigeria March 14 and was diagnosed of the disease March 24, he attended several conferences, APC meetings and also led a delegation to the Kogi state Governor to greet him for the demise of his Mother amongst other things he did Within the 10 days.

Now, no single person was infected by the Late COS from the records, and the only record we have of someone infecting another person is Atiku son that infected the Bauchi Governor.

Hence, I believe all this hullabaloo about the spread of the disease here is weak. We've been on lockdown for about 25 days and we have barely tested 10,000 persons. It's obvious the government is not ready to do mass testing and the cases reported kept rising, so of what use is the Lockdown? What's the objectives of the Total Lockdown?

The government just need to devise any other mechanism for curbing this disease; a total lockdown cannot be sustained.

We were told the virus symptoms and it's complications will start showing after 14 days, since we've been at home how many people has fallen ill suddenly or died unexpectedly in each of our areas across the country. All of us sha can never be asymptomatic.

If they want to share the money, they should go and share it, they should leave us to go and continue our hustle. We are not able to sleep at night, vigilante up and down.

My Verdict: The lockdown should be partial, people can move around with facemask and any other thing to protect themselves. Schools, mosques, churches can still hold on. People are broke and hunger is real!

Thank you for this comment
My problem now is that we are not being told the area where these figures are coming from.
The government is modelling advanced countries who are taking good care of their citizens. Let's just return to work and take precautionary measures. This is pure wickedness now. They do not have to think of their daily bread and security challenges.
