Having learnt a lot through the different transcripts posted on this forum, I think it is ideal to give back.

Transcript

Appointment time was 8:45 am. Got to the embassy around 7:30 am, a family of 4. Went in by 8a.m. We were directed to meet a young Lady after waiting on the queue for Passport Scanning and Fingerprint

All of us: Good morning

V.O: Hello Guys

V.O: What is your relationship

Myself: Family

V.O: Where are you going in the United State

Myself & Wife: New York City

V.O : Where will you be staying in New York

Myself: xxxxxx Hotel in New York City

V.O: Has this been booked

Myself: Yes

V.O: Where do you work ?

Myself: xxxxxx Bank as ..........

V.O: Mentioned some of your clients

Myself: Mentioned about 4 names and asked her if she is okay or I should just continue. At this point she was looking at my face and mentioned that she is fine

V.O: How long have you been working there

Myself: About 6 years, 5 Years 8 months precisely

V.O: Are you with the company introduction letter

Myself: Not here but I have the ID Card and my Call Card her. Ask if she would like to see it but she said NO

To my wife

V.O : Where do you work

Wife: Mentioned the name of the company

V.O: For How long

Wife: About 1 year

To both of us

V.O : Have you travelled out of the country before

Both: Yes, we went to Ghana last year Easter Period for our Family Vacation

V.O: She checked all the International Passport to confirm it.

V.O: Do you have relative in the US

Both: NO

She started typing for a while , raised her face and asked again, Do you have family in the US?

Chorus Answer : NO

V.O : Your visa has been approved, took out the white paper and circle the collection centre.

I hurriedly collected the white paper, carried my daughter while my wife carried our son who both seated on the basement through out the period of the interview which lasted for about 5 minutes.

The only travel experience we had was a road trip to Ghana last year as wife just started working and was not entitled to leave. Thus, we had to ensure we came back on Easter Monday so that she could go to work on Tuesday.

My Learning Point was that we were not under any pressure because we have made up our mind that if we did not get it we would travel to another country.

We give glory to the Almighty GOD for the Grace and we say congrats to all the brains behind this forum.

which embassy , Abuja or Lagos ?

Congrats @ Ettolic , pls what's your travel experience

..

My uncle got his b1/b2 visa last year . He traveled to the United States this year February and has been in the U.S. For over 5 months ( NB: he was given 6 months @ POE.) . He's planning to leave the U.S. before the 6 month expires this month . Now my question : do you think staying as long as 5 months plus ( almost 6 months ) would affect his next entry into the U.S. ? Thanks
