Hello guys, well I do read and educate myself on nairaland a lot although this is my first time putting up a post.
My first visit to the US embassy was in 2013, I was doing my masters then, I tried twice within two months because I really wanted to go for my brothers masters grad, unfortunately I was denied both times..felt rally bad because I felt I did well.. I searched all round for a reason for denial but I only got speculations.
Good news now is I just got my visa wed
6th 2016. Guess third time is a charm but I actually prepared for it like an exam.
Here goes my interview
Vo: good morning
Me: good morning ma, how are you?
Vo: fine thank you.
Vo(captured my left and right four fingers)
Vo: so where are you going to in the USA
Me; sorry where or why( I didn't hear her well)
Vo: where
Me: OK , am going to Morgan town West Virginia
Vo: OK why are you going there?
Me: going for my bros wedding and am the best man.
Vo:checking her system and all..OK, so what do you do?
Me: am a safety man at ......
Vo: so what do you do there as a safety
Me: gave my key Job responsibilities
Vo:so have you travelled before?
Me: yes with my mum and sis
Vo:how long do you plan staying there?
Me: 12days
Vo:so did you travel alone?
Me: no I went with my mum and sis( for my mind I was like this vo wan scam me sha)
Vo:so since when has your bro been in America
Me: since .....
Vo: so you studied safety in school
Me: no ma'am, I did a safety course after I finished school. (Which is actually what I wrote when filling the form online)(another scam attempt from the vo)
Vo:are you married?
Me: no( while smiling)
Vo: quiet
Me: scared...
Vo: you can go pick up....
Me: unfortunately excitement didn't allow me hear any other word she said after you can go pick up..all other words became vacuum..
Key advise: fill your form with truth and sense and most importantly keep it the same and real when interviewed.. There should be no diff in what was filled online and what you sir in person..(I think you would stand a better chance).
I also think strong ties back here in Nigeria gives you a better chance(stable job, family, investments)
Good luck guys

Thanks vo
