I smile and I laugh...until you start earning such sums, it is often difficult to believe that it is possible without knowing anyone or doing anything illegal.

So they have not been paying taxes?

Oga it's like you can't read abi?

You should know its an hyperbole.

But you get the gist.

Just trolling...point well taken

Nigeria is notorious for not paying salaries and lateness fines.

A government VIP can delay an aircraft full of 750 passengers, on international waters, there are fines for that.

750 passengers on international waters? Na cruise ship?

The largest commercial passenger aircraft is the Airbus A380. With a normal four class configuration, it can hold 544 people. However if all the seats were economy, it has a maximum capacity of 853 passengers.

Please those who have traveled to usa through qater airways....
Was accommodation provided during the 9hr+ night layover at doha
Or do we have to book accommodation ourselves

If you are flying Business Class you will have access to the Al Mourjan Lounge....it has all you need for a long layover...a la carte menu, buffet, showers, family rooms, quiet rooms, business centre and prayer room.

If flying in Economy and you have One World Sapphire Status, you are entitled to the Oryx Lounge next door...not as nice but pretty good.

Alternatively, you can book to stay at the airport hotel (pricey) which is airside at HIA meaning you will not have to clear security...the airport is one of the best in the world....Enjoy your trip.

This guy sha, you didn't go straight to the point instead you are coming up with unnecessary and imaginable things. Your chat with them and the slip of the cash deposit is what I need. stop trying to come up with irrelevant and junk stories.

No any criminal case against me till date but u are known for scamming people in the name of helping them to catch scammer

Please no need to get alarmed. I told Funlord I got his details from Nairaland. I guess he searched my number and got it from an old profile.

I only just told him my current handle today.

KaptainAfrika:
From what I know.
So long as you dont leave the airport, you wont require transit visa except US, UK and Canada...to my knowledge.
If you have long layover, when booking you will be told that you need a transit visa to leave the airport, and come back later for the final leg of the flight e.g. UAE, Ethiopia...to my knowledge.
Alternatively, there are hotels in airports where you can lounge without crossing immigration e.g Dubai...to my knowledge.
But its always good to check the information online.
I recommend Emirates, you probably get to see Dubai before continuing your trip.

You don't need a transit visa to the UK if you are going to the US and are not changing terminals.

EsotericMonk:
You could do well to point me there, rather than be saucy about trivialities. If I knew the right thread, I would have no business here as I see you have built an estate here already.

It's true o...even I am renting a nice studio flat in the estate.

adega:
Good morning house

I travel with my family last year November 2017 to dubai,I exist on the 23rd November ,but when i get home i could see the exist stamp showing 3 November for my wife,son and mine and that of my daughter is showing 23 .the number 2 is not showing ,If i want to apply can i raise this up or how should i go about it ? .PLEASE ADVICE

If I get you right, the stamp on yours and that of your daughter has [23] while your wife has [ 3]...I think from a straight glance by an objective VO it will be fairly obvious that its just an issue of illegibility...unless of course what she has is [3] and not [ 3].

LadyGuinivere:
We do realise that fertility treatments could refer to a lot more than IVF?

Anyways, the OP says he wants to assure her she'll get the visa, don't do that. Na you dey issue am? Nothing is certain

The post specifically mentioned IVF

kayvine4u:
D delay was caused by her hubby who refused to go apply for his own visa, she eventually decided to go alone and go start her own treatment
She told them travel date wld be in august, but then tickets were ridiculously expensive and hubby kept promising to go apply for his own visa
Yes, she's been trying to conceive for abt 10yrs and was genuinely going for IVF treatment. And yes, she had evidence of all d hospital correspondences wit her, and had rescheduled her 1st appointment for this week.
Yes, she said they checked her hand luggage and didn't find anything incriminating. 2 mths becos she just assumed treatment wld take that long for d 1st stage.

Pls let me know how we can tackle this problem when reapplying. Im trying to assure her that she can get her visa again

Why the delay in travel?
When did she tell say her travel date will be during her interview?
Was she still going for the fertility treatment?
If yes, was she having evidence on her to this effect when she arrived the US?
Why two months exactly and with what was she justifying this?
Did they check her stuff in the US before being denied entry and having visa cancelled?

Dollarpee49:
hello house, can i use another email to fill my DS160 form since i have learnt that I can do it myself , the agent that filled my initial application has refused to give me the login to the email used and for the DS160,he said if I want to apply for anything i must come through him because their are some vital info in the mail which can not be released

Better run far away from this agent....is there anything on the DS160 you have that is not true...if everything is true, then you have nothing to worry about.

However, if there is even one misrepresentation, or error, or attempt to deceive or improvisation of non existent facts, this is your chance to make a clean break.

Prepare to forfeit whatever money you paid to Mr Agent and start the process all over again for a new appointment etc.

A DS-160 with false data will land you in serious trouble.

Obatity:
Goodmorning house,

Please I need your advise, I used to work with a private organisation when I applied and renewed my previous US visas. Now I need to renew my visa again since it has expired but am no longer working for the private company I used to work but doing my business with a registered company (mainly supplies). Please what do I fill for "Occupation" in ds160 form.
Thank you.

Primary Occupation - BUSINESS

You will also have the option to fill in your previous work history so you can still put in the same information as previously when you get to this section.

Travelling for IVF alone without your husband or partner is already suspicious...more so when said husband does not yet have a visa.

Is her husband not going to fertilize her or is she getting a donor from a sperm bank?

Is there any other reason why her husband refused to apply for his visa?

Gracedme:
Very funny to abandon my son(a baby for that matter) I laboured for and hubby to go meet a supposed lover. My Uncle is even here in Nigeria, we all are going from Nigeria. In addition I've got a fantastic job here with a good pay.
So your hypothesis is absolutely wrong, thanks for your contribution Mr.

No need to get defensive...The hypothesis is generally assumed to be true until evidence indicates otherwise. The essence of the questions is for you to get your story straight.

You've gone from family vacation to solo travel and now back to trip with family plus uncle....the only question I asked that you should be concerned with is what has changed between October and now?

Frenchfriez:
Good day house. Pls I plan on making trips to the UK and US in the coming weeks. Would be going to the UK on a business visa.I plan on spending about a month in the UK.
Is it ok if I applied for a US visitor's visa while in the UK or do I have to return to naija to reapply for a US visa?
Thanks

You are usually expected to apply for a visa in the country of your residency.

Gracedme:
We planned a family vacation last year but was refused so we are hoping to reapply this year's holiday. But my Uncle is celebrating his birthday on a cruise hence the reason for the cruise in Miami. I'm indifferent about going alone or with my family that's why I'm asking. So if i'm going alone, definitely my strong ties will be hubby and kid.

Your personal circumstances don't seem to have changed. A different purpose for travel is not necessarily the same thing as a change in personal circumstances.

Hypothetically speaking and please don't take it the wrong way, concerning your hubby and kid, what if your true purpose is to abandon your family to live illegally with your uncle who is really your lover...how does that given your personal circumstances make for strong ties?

Keep lying to yourself

Why so bitter? Who spilled your milk?

James89:
Please sir I need your help,I want to begin a processing for a visit visa,please guide me on how to start this,I don’t mind to call you and talk on phone please.

Please read the thread from the beginning. By the time you have done like 50 or 60 pages, you will have enough information to help yourself.

Cheers

Gracedme:
Just me.

What circumstances of yours changed it from a family trip in Orlando to a solo cruise in Miami...without your husband and baby.

Gracedme:
Good day,

Please I applied for a B1/B2 visa in October 2017 with my son and hubby but was denied see below transcript.

Come September 2018, I’ll be going for a cruise using MSC from Miami and I wish to reapply.

Two questions;
1. I have 3 options to explore and will need your advice- to reapply alone/with my hubby and kid/me and kid.
2. When can I reapply.

Will appreciate your swift response.

Who is really going?

You, your hubby, you and your hubby or you and your kid?

sacluxisback:
When Americans visit you, do they give testimony?

Yes

asiwajusirkay:
how has that religion helped Nigeria. Who religion help!

Another funny comment...let me donate laughter

sacluxisback:
Its funny how Nigerians give testimony to visit a country that doesn't give a **** about religion.

What does religion have to do with this?

nattybanta:
In my Opinion (that's if it counts) i would say u shot yourself in the foot:

1. Since you have no Travel history, you can't just want to use your annual leave traveling to US as an opportunity to see just an Aunt not even your immediate family who isn't even Sponsoring your trip cos its already a red flag.

2. All you answers are just too glibber, like you memorized them like a story line.

3. Always engage the VO in discussions to make them believe you have a reason to go to the US and return back. (Take Control and Smile)

I agree with the part in bold. hehe at glibber

ladylco:
I kinda disagree with you. My uncle got his 1st usa visa, 3 days to his proposed travel date in fact he got his passport same day he travelled (2015). I even told him he was taking an expensive risk as he has already bought his ticket, rather he said there is no probs.

Oftentimes, refusal reasons are best known to the VO.

Like I said, each of the reasons on their own is not sufficient, but when you add all three it increases the complexity but yes refusal reasons are best known to the VO.

Quoting the poster, he said he wanted to 'seize the opportunity', he didn't give an impression that he had 'thought it through'.

Keneking:
How much will he declare sef?

LIRS is asking for Year 2018 returns...what happens to previous years?

Anyway, my guy would go solo this year, perhaps travel overseas thereby going under radar or wait for Buhari to announce his non-interest in contesting for second term.

Abeg can anyone confirm if Davido, Wizkid, Kiss Daniel are also compliant..

LASAA should also send invoices to these guys as their advert is everywhere you go: lagos traffic, youtube, cd sellers etc

2018 Returns is in respect of income earned in 2017.

Semose:
I was denied today by the dark skinned lady in window 5 .. Here is my transcript
Vo: y r u traveling to the US
Me: I will be having my annual leave Jan 12 and intend to seize d opportunity it to visit a relative.
Vo: who is she to you [looked at it from my application she viewed]
Me: aunt
Vo: what state in the US are u visiting
Me: Alabama
Vo: r u married
Me: yes
Vo: kids
Me: yes
Vo: boy or girl
Me: boy
Vo: have you traveled outside the country b4
Me: no
Next thing long typing on her computer screen, followed by blue paper..... Pls ur evaluation

Interview date pretty close to travel date plus no prior travel experience is made worse by the fact that it appears that you are trying to 'seize' the opportunity as opposed to a 'well planned' first trip outside the country.

Looking at all the reasons together and not on their own might give a fair idea...my opinion only though.

Each of the reasons is not valid reason enough for refusal but putting them together paints a totally different picture.

Damgreen:
I want to book for hotel in Manhattan but keep asking for my Credit card no. How safe is this?

What site are you using?

I recommend Booking.com or Hotels.com. Select the pay on arrival or at hotel option.

They may request a card for guarantee in some instances depending on if you want to pay in advance or not. As I assume you are just making an advanced booking ahead of your interview, I advise that you do not select the pre-pay option.

wunmi38:
Good day all I want to apply for drop box do I need to fill Ds 160 too and how do I go about it existing visa to expire April and we intend to travel for family vacation just like we did in 2017 in July dis year

Yes you will fill the DS-160 like everyone else...but when booking appointment if you answer the questions correctly eg...did your last visa expire less than Bleep years, did your last interview result in a refusal etc, you will get the option for drop box etc.

All you need for the drop box is the completed ds160, your passport, passport photos, and all the associated payment receipts

diddypearl:
Gud day house, pls I need Ur advise, I gave an agent to process and submit my application for us visa.. he made a mistake in filling.. choose another state and city for the issuance if my passport and interview date is 2weeks to this time and I got to knw if this today... what am I going to do?

Also, d details of the person invited me is not showing on my ds-160 form

My advice to you is this...forget the Agent and whatever money you have paid.

Pay a new visa fee, fill in a new DS-160 and book a fresh appointment for yourself.

It will do you a whole lot of good!!!
