VO:Hello Good morning
ME: Good morning Sir
VO:Your passport and ur Sevis...passed it to him
VO:Why are you going to the US to study
Me:Growing up,I admired planes and would run when I see one. I have an uncle who has always being an adviser who also works in the aviation company and advised me to pursue a career in aviation. After my secondary sch,I applied into NCAT( Nigerian College Of Aviation Technology and graduated last year. My and senior colleagues in the aviation line then advised me to apply for an airline dispatch course in the states. I made my enquiries and applied into IFOD and Avel but I loved IFOD more because it gives a lifetime support to its student by contacting airline companies on behalf of its students and giving a grace of a lifetime refresher course. It also accommodates its International students and support them all round their careers.
VO:Why not do the course in Nigeria??
Me:The Nigerian dispatch training only offers the certificate while America is the only country approved in the world to give an FAA(Federal Aviation Administration) license and this takes a short period of time.
VO:What have u being doing since you graduated??
Me:NCAT had helped my knowledge in supervision and management and this made my dad entrust his company's branch in Ibadan to me to supervise the operations there. The company is at 20 Prost Building Arometa Eleyele road Ibadan
VO:What does your dad do??
Me:He's a Estate Surveyor and land manager.
VO:Where will you stay in the Operations US
ME:I've contacted the school and arrangement has being made in an hotel in Bedford for my arrival.
VO: Will you be coming back to Nigeria??
Me:I definitely will because my uncle has promised a job in Nigeria as soon as I get my dispatch license and IFOD also guarantees a recommendation for a job in my country,so I'm having two options
VO:Do you have your Waec result with you here??
Me:No sir
VO:Ooh ok...What were ur grades
Me:Had 3 C's,2B's and 2A's.
VO:The program is lasting for a month right??
Me:No sir...5weeks
VO:Goodluck!!!make sure you keep this very well because you will be needing it at the port of entry when you get to the United States etc.

Dear tkObserver, travel history is a way a VO assesses your willingness to go back home after a visit to a foreign land. as a criteria to measure ties, they base this on the idea that you have gone to better places and have returned. Barbados is a tiny island like cyprus but unlike cyprus, its not even fine. its 3rd world. when you go to barbados and return, it would carry the same weight as going to ghana so this venture, if it is purely to rake in travel history, is pointless. to directly answer your questions to my knowledge;
1) if you want to travel to barbados still, just buy a ticket as the country is visa free. make sure your flight is not routed via the US or canada ad you cannot do a Direct Airside Transit(DAT) in these countries. Virgin Atlantic have great deals at the moment. LOS-LHR-BGI is your route.
2)dont waste your strength. the qualifications you need to show to secure a transit visa is the same for a visit visa for US and Canada. because as they do not permit DAT(where you just land and connect another flight. you must clear immigration, pick your bags and recheck them in), you can easily disappear from the airport. if you must visit Barbados, avoid a flight routed via the US/canada.
3)as have been stated, the requirements are the same.
my advice would be to build up more. apply for GCMS and understand why the refusal decision was made in the first place. travel to other places UAE, UK maybe. travel history is only one factor a VO considers. people with empty passports get issued visas daily.best of luck

Help a brother!

Bostin:
@tkobserver, try Belarus and save the stress. It is very easy and straight forward. Get an official invitation letter from Belarus,book Turkishair and fly with ease ,then get your passport stamp @ Minsk Belarus on arrival. Note you will need some cash on you to get your passport stamp. Have done that before.

tkObserver:



I decided to check out EXPEDIA, dont know if you are familiar with it. My itinerary shows im gonna depart Lagos for Frankfurt via Lufthansa, and from frankfurt to Toronto via AirCanada, and From Toronto to Bridgetown via the same Airline.
Now my brother, i seek your patience and understanding in attending to me. Like i said, i chose barbados becasue of its visa free policy to most countries, at least from online sources, so i could have a travel experience.
Upon browsing the link https://www.expedia.com/Flights-Search?flight-type=on&starDate=05%2F06%2F2018&endDate=05%2F15%2F2018&_xpid=11905%7C1&mode=search&trip=roundtrip&leg1=from%3ALagos%2C+Nigeria+%28LOS-Murtala+Muhammed+Intl.%29%2Cto%3ABridgetown%2C+Barbados+%28BGI-Grantley+Adams+Intl.%29%2Cdeparture%3A05%2F06%2F2018TANYT&leg2=from%3ABridgetown%2C+Barbados+%28BGI-Grantley+Adams+Intl.%29%2Cto%3ALagos%2C+Nigeria+%28LOS-Murtala+Muhammed+Intl.%29%2Cdeparture%3A05%2F15%2F2018TANYT&passengers=children%3A0%2Cadults%3A1%2Cseniors%3A0%2Cinfantinlap%3AY I decided to settle for the first one, being the cheapest ($3,910)
I then had to speak with a colleague who has been travelling and also assisting people to travel. He told me I do not need to get any transit visas to both Germany (frankfurt airport) and Canada (Toronto airport) since i wont be going into the countries.
That transit is useful for those that would be going into town (outside the airport)briefly. He went on to say that there are differnt immigration routes for those waiting for a connecting flights and those who are disembarking and going into frankfurt/canada. He only told me that if i am sure that Barbados only stamp on one's passport uppon arrival, that i have no issue. He went on to say that our own airport officials would not deny me travelling through the point of exit if truly the end destination (Barbados) is visa free to me. That they would only make sure that I have the right tickets. Please, kindly confirm or enlighten me on this as much as you can. This will be my first travel experience. Thank you
will be having 8 hr 5min stop in Frankfurt, and 15hrs 45 mins stop in Toronto. I will only be within the airport for the connecting flight to Bridgetown in Barbados


I am only waiting for confirmation form Barbadian govt to reply my email on the procedure to getting my passport stamped. I just want to be sure it is from there and not from here. IF there's anyone in the house who has traveled to barbados bfore, pls help

tkObserver:
Hello everyone, Please I need your assistance. I am
planning to travel to Barbados on vacation. This is to
enable me work on my travel history (I have had
denials at about 3 embassies because of that). I chose
barbados because it is visa free to Nigeria and also an
opportunity for me to visit that part. However, i learnt I
will have to get a[b] transit visa[/b] since my booking
shows im gonna have to transit tru canada [/b]airport.
Please can u all help me with this info:
1. How to go about the application
2. IMPORTANT...[b].how long it takes for the embassy
to issue a transit visa (because i know their visitor visa
takes about 3 months)
3. Likely requirements because I was once denied a
VISITOR visa but Im hoping to apply for TRANSIT this
time. (Hope my refusal doesn't mean anything here
since im not going directly to canada)
I have checked VFSGlobal website but i didn't see any
info on transit visa application procedure.
Kindly help me out please.
Thanks....I need the info urgently

Someone should please answer my question regarding summer classes.

imperiouxx:


If you're a true follow of this thread you would know that you don't have any standardized tests. It seems like someone got the admission for you. For grad students, a standardized test is GRE/GMAT and for undergrads, it's SAT. Your TOEFL is only a language proficiency test..... simply a language test and don't qualify as a standardized test. When asked next time, just say you don't have it or they didn't required it for admission. But but, that can still lead to denial. So the best is to take a standardized test.
