White women respond to logic. Black women respond to attitude and feelings. Next time flash a smile and flirt small with her....if she no give you visa tell Buhari to send EFCC come get me.

Absolutely wrong. White women are just as emotional as black women.

Thanks in advance

Why eastern Illinois? Your answer was weak.

Your last question also needs work.

yuscodguy:
This is it bro

Where?

hilaryxoxo:
Hey guys, quick question...

My friend's brother failed to renew his Canadian student visa, even after the 3-month grace period. (i honestly don't know why he was nonchalant).

Now, the lawyer is saying the only option he has is to get married. I just want to know if all this guys mess would affect my friend - the guy's sister.

I am sure their records would show the relationship. Would it affect my friend when she wants to get her own student visa?

Tell your “friend” to come here and ask the question herself.

yuscodguy:
Oga Twood Abeg see to my proposed transcript please

Where is it?

luxury01:
I am 23 years old, my skul does not require any test for Nigerians and i also think its because of my course which is agricultural science/ agronomy

Nigerian students typically graduate high school at 16-17. The vos know this and are wondering why you’ve suddenly decided now to go for a bachelors degree, at a cheap backwater school that requires no test scores. Those same vos spend their day seeing younger students with fantastic test scores gaining admission to top US colleges... and here you are.

You fit the stereotype for “intending immigrant”.

Robert6708:
“The conversation was ok. Whilst some people will come and analyze the many things they believe is wrong with your transcript. From experience I have come to realize getting a visa is most likely an issue of discretion of the VO, and luck as well. It wasn’t your day. Don’t let nobody tell you it’s about the fact that you ain’t married or have kids blah blah blah. I’ve seen people will better or worse profile get denied or approved accordingly. This is not to say preparation is not necessary. But again a lot of indices come into play Before getting a US visa. Prayer is the key. My 2 cents.”

Prayer is the key to what?

Ashabiola:
Hello house. I want to share my experience with you all and need some advice too.

My husband and I applied for visa on virgin passports and went for interview yesterday.

We were denied because we didn't prove to have ties to Nigeria which was child.

Now, my husband wishes to reapply, leaving me behind. Of course, to join him after some months hopefully. He is a web developer and has foreign clients. One of his top clients is a versed internet marketer in the US and is ready to provide everything he needs for him to come down to the US and work. Even to the extent of helping him with a work permit when he gets there.

We have sent him an invitation sample and he is working on it. To be honest, hubby wishes to work in the US and his employer is ready to do that for him. Going in with a B1/B2 visa (not work) and begin work permit process immediately.......Do you think he stands chances of approval? He will be applying in a month time.

So you intend to abuse the visit visa and you were rightfully denied. Sounds about right. No one can advise you on how to break the law.

alayomini:
.

My question is , what is my chance of getting the visa this time as somethings has been changed in my profile and application.

Also what are the likely questions one like my case should expect,
Am also searching for a better response to question like, WHY DID YOU CHOOSE EMBRY RIDDLE.?

THANK YOU AS I WILL BE WAITING FOR UR REPLY.

1. No one can predict your chances of getting a visa.
2. No one can predict likely questions, however be prepared to answer to what has changed in your application.
3. Only you know why you chose the school.

alayomini:
@ twood, thamks alot to the opportunity .

My case study here.
I study industrial maintenance engineering at ND level Mechanical engineering at HND level. I graduated in the year 2015 , and did nysc 2016 . Dec 2016 was my first interview but was denied . Maybe because it was undergraduate admission for the same Mechanical engineering I had done here in Nigeria which I included in my ds160. I reapply again that same December and was also denied. Some questions such as, why dis school, wen did you finish ur high school, what have u being doing. Are u married and do u av kid. Finally who will sponsor u. I believe I did my best but was worried why I keep getting denied.

February 2017, I got. Job as a mechanical maintenance technician at one flouill . I already defer my admission till summer , so I tried it again after my new i20 arrived. But the case still remain same . After I decided to use my resource for myself instead of dashing embassy, I got married and have my kid. Later someone told me it because I applied as undergraduate instead of masters , because I already have Hnd and I declare it on my ds 160.

I agree with him and took his advice , now search for any course which relate to my Field which is safety . As a technician I need safety as degree to advance my career. I applied and here I am with my master I 20 ready to collect the visa this time.

@ twood and other guru in the house kindly contribute to my success , as I will surely come here to share the testimony.

What is your precise question?

hollerbaby:
Good day house my uncle and his family are American citizen actually his wife is white so are his children He comes to Nigeria biannually and last year summer he came with his wife and 2 of his children(1 adults and one teen ) ..they want me to visit them this summer All expenses paid by them. I am married, A postgraduate student and also a teacher . I have been at my current place of employment for 5 years now . I can only travel during the long term holiday . I have never traveled outside the country my passport still bears my maiden name which is same as my uncles surname but I have done my change of name . What are my chances and how soon can I start the process expecially since I can only travel July ending to August

No one can predict your chances. Ask yourself - do I have sufficient reason that will compel me to return to Nigeria after my vacation? If yes, what are those reasons? State them at your interview and hope for the best.

alayomini:
Yea, embry riddle offer masters in safety science. I have been admitted to study industrial safety technology and I was given 8k scholarship . My Wes evaluation is 3.30 and my ielts is 6.0 band , these are the documents I forwarded to the sch before i was admitted.

Kindly rescue someone here.

Ok thanks for clarifying. Kindly post your questions/concerns here. If I can’t get to them, someone with more experience than me certainly can. All the best!

James89:
Bro please can you suggest some good schools I can apply to for those with a low GPA 2.6?

That is your job, as a prospective student.

alayomini:
Pls I urgently need help to work on my rehearsal interview transcript.

I have applied for visa 4times but delayed (spring 2017, 2tice and summer 2tice same 2017) . Although it was an undergraduate admission to student Mech engineering at same sch. Then I was 26years. Not forgetting the fact that I have my Hnd already in mechanical engineering and even done with my nysc dat same 2017.

Now, av gotten master admission to study industrial safety technology /technician at embry riddle aeronautical university , Arizona. Am.planining to go for interview by may.
Am 27year , don traditional marriage with a kid now. Am presently working has mechanical maintenance technical at flour mills. Pls what is my chance this time and kindly help me pls. After 4delayed can one still get the visa approved.

Urgent pls.

Your very poor command of the language set off my suspicion radar. I just checked, are you sure the masters program you indicated is actually offered at Embry riddle? Do you have an admission at that school at all?

Olusegun26:
Yes, EU residency - - checked.. Etc.

Hello! Please ignore my stellar resume. I'm what I am by God's grace. Please you cannot take that G-factor away from me. You say what works for you. That works..for me! Please! If you think some questions or answers are irrational, you may decide not to comment. I don't want to sound disrespectful. Kindly assist those who needs your assistance if you could. Don't lit their beards before shaving it off.. Still, you sounded like a nice dude.. Assist, don't judge!! Tack!!

I'm doing exactly what you request I do. 99.9% of applicants here do NOT have EU residency. The biggest factor when applying for a non-immigrant US visa is that you will return home after your brief stay. Having EU residency is a huge factor indicating that you have a much lower incentive to remain in the US since you have a similar western nation to return to, along with a good educational resume and job.

Yes you are what you are by God's grace... but the visa officer did not grant you a visa based on your daily bible reading. To mislead other people here is not fair. Be grateful for what you have and leave it at that.

U.S VISAS

Overview
This section gives information to anyone who is planning to travel to U.S.A on either a Non-Immigrant Visa (temporary stay) or Immigrant Visa (permanent stay). We hope you will use the information provided on this website to learn about the different types of U.S Visas, the application process and requirements for a U.S Visa
Non-Immigrant Visas
Non immigrant Visas are for international travelers whose stay in U.S.A will be temporary. This Visa allows you to travel to U.S.A port-of-entry
(airport, for example) and request permission of the Department of Homeland Security Immigration Inspector to enter U.S.A. A Visa does not guarantee entry into U.S.A.
Interviews are conducted by appointment (available only online) Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
Immigrant Visas
Applicants wishing to permanently move to U.S.A must apply for an Immigrant Visa. Generally, a foreign citizen must be sponsored by a US citizen or permanent resident relative(s) or by a prospective employer in order to be eligible for an Immigrant Visa.
The Diversity Visa Program also provides another option for a certain number of permanent resident visas annually.

Olusegun26:
From SRA (Silent reader association) but fired PMs to experts for clarity .. Did the normal procedures before interview...

Interview proper...

Firstly, I would like to alarm this particular comment-- nairaland.com is good, but wouldn't teach you so certain things - soft skills. Easier to read comments but more importantly, practice, practice and practice.. Not by my own power too, na God o. Hallelujah �

I must say my intension was to take charge of the conversation, which i was able to achieve.

VO: Hello Sir, Good morning

O26: (ahah, in my mind), Good morning, hope you had a fantastic weekend.

V.O: he said nice things... (nice starting). So why are you going to the US?

O26: I'm going to Lincoln University (LU) in CA for a 2-year Master's degree program in MBA with a concentration in Management Information System after which I will go back to my �� for a career advancement.

V.O: you live in Europe (he mentioned the country)

O26: Yes, i live and work there. If you noticed that i have also completed an M.Eng there.

V.O: what do you do?

O26: mentioned the company's name, a front-end programmer (software testing-- gave examples, fraud investigation and developing interactive GUIs)

V.O: oh i can see you've a good profile, so why going for an MBA this, and not in this country, why �� .. Now here i completely pulled his attention.. He further asked, or is it because of CA is a hub for IT (Oh Bros, I noticed he tried to trap me there - -if i say "yes" penre, ah, na immigrant intent be that)

O26: (took the questions one after the other): To put it in perspective, LU is a business oriented school that offers an affordable +custom fit education.. I would like to take advantage of the multidisciplinary research center(i learned this from their website, added my own stories too) that entertains the collaboration of business professionals + student from diverse IT backgrounds in providing solution to real world problem..I chose US because her schools are of prime recognition, and comprise of professors... (said something can't remember again :: soft skills). 3. (Not because of the IT hubs in the region.. brought him back, proving myself as a legit student). I remember i said something like "this program will groom me to become an IT business architect with an understanding of... Analyzing, defining and building information system requirements and guiding other on how to build their for various business situations... Was just talking and he was listening..

V. O: How many schools did you apply to?
O26: 3 Lincoln University, Weber state university, Missouri State University

V. O: who will sponsor this trip?
O26: my mother, she's an orthopedist, essentially I'm gainfully employed as previously discussed and I've a liquid cash of * EUR.

Your visa has been approved, pick it up...

Hey chairman, you have my both passports in your hand - my old passport is attached,
V. O: you want collect am now?
O26: hmm, not really..

No documents checked, no questions about marriage..

Additional things he might have seen, my traveling experience (man don Waka for Europe o), B2 still valid.. Been to �� more than...

What gave me more edge: Almighty God, eloquence, my accent (amerikish.. Lol), confidence (worked with many of them before) and preparation... In spite of my nice profile, bros i prayed and prepared...

Sorry to those refused visa today.. Please ask questionshere.. I think there are no stupid questions.

I was unhappy to see a guy refused visa today.. I think he used an agent, and his Mr agent arranged a fake I20 for him (tried multiple times, but all proved abortive).. I'm not here to mock anyone but please stay away from agents.. You can do it yourself..!

@Theamerican, i encourage you not to stop guiding folk here, do as your mind pleases.. You rock ma'am.. Keep it up.

Thanks to many gurus here... You guys are great. I'll inbox you back...Kudos to
Scholarstica, theamerican, 4peace4, @akin3103,pianoguy, dollydolly, biikeys, jesusbabygirl(my sister from another mother), lyrondee and those that asked questions, i learnt a lot from all of you. Cheers..

Please do not mislead the impressionable folks here. Your interview had nothing to do with Almighty God, prayer, confidence or your accent. You had a stellar resume - having lived, schooled and working in Europe (you most likely have legal status there - which is an excellent tie + travel history). Your resume is NOT representative of the majority of people here and should not be the basis on which they apply for their own visas. I understand your need to tell us the good news about your visa but there is very little many of them here can learn from your experience.

Coxtie:
I finished from secondary school in 2014.. if I’m been asked what have I been doing at home since then what should I say??
[b]Can I say that I have been assisting my uncle in office who is a legal solicitor..
I help him handle his documents then which triggers me to know more about settling disputes and making peace.. which also is the main reasons for choosing liberal studies because it helps in peace keeping and peace building..
[/b]Please reply my question as quick as possible
My interview is hell near
Thanks in anticipation

Ok this is an unserious set of answers.

BabaRamota1980:
Jeezus!

These VOs have acclimatized and become Nigerians. See how rude this VO is to someone's wife.

"Pass me your passport".

Hey OP, what lie are you talking about. I hate when people take oyinbo's position as a default righteousness and view blacks as the default criminals.

Where is the lie? Her fiance no fit change his mind?

This VO was jealous of the lady's accomplishment and status and confidence....VO looking for gaps to shut her down, and when she found it she never bothered to enquorw further for clarification or perharps other strengths that might overshadow a simple "change in plans" in the couple's itinerary.

Look, if i was this lady's fiancee i will rip the visa out of my passport and take vacation elsewhere. Spain is looking for touriats. Netherlands is looking for tourists.

Crap! This transcript don vexx me well well.

The vos aren’t stupid. They know spouses lie to use the other as a “tie”, going separately for visa interviews when in reality both intend to travel. Our own penchant for steadfastly refusing to be honest is what is at play here. As I’m sure the vos would tell you, feel free to tear their visa and go to Spain if you’d like.

Leleky:
PLEASE family i was denied Canadian visit visa last year September with a 5 years ban due misrepresentation caused by an agent. i applied for south Korean study visa for masters program by myself and got it. now i am in south Korea and my brother in-law wants to invite me to USA for 13 days vacation in july this during holidays. i actually wish to visit and come back to Korea. my plan is to come to Nigeria in December 2018 so i can visit any country with my family in December 2018 before we can apply for family visa in 2019. what are my chances considering the 5 years ban from Canada please advise me. thank you in anticipation.

Zero.

4peace4:
chai!! oga why is that anytime your post appears on this thread you MUST be arguing with someone cant you just be matured for once? and you keep mentioning nigerians!! nigerians!! seems you were born and raised in the US abi? and you are the bigger hypocrite bcuz it's just obvious you are claiming to be an americana whether you like it or not 'na naija akpu water them take baptize you' mbok

You obviously are still upset because I called you out on your attempt at fraud a while back. A lack of “maturity” isn’t your problem because I doubt you understand that word... your problem is jealousy. You whine about americanas, but here you are, scheming deviously to get into that America by force... speak of hypocrisy.

Happy Easter by the way.

Philadelphia:
Reading through your comment, I had to check the moniker and I wasn't surprised that it was you. However, referring her to the school's LinkedIn page is just okay. He could've done that in humility and politeness.

Yeah sure... I wonder why your own posts are not done in "humility and politeness". Nigerians and the hypocrisy of demanding what they would never do to others.

BabaRamota1980:
It is human to be dishonest.
It is righteousness to be truthful.

There are Americans that enter Nigeria on pretense of business but end up doing something else.

I said this before, Americans have lost touch with humanity. The pentecostal church rip-off and end time pastors is an invention of America and we see how our continent is corrupted with their crusade. Do we deny them access to come in for business? No.

Why do vo's always have suspicion about our intent. Are their pentecostal scammers and criminals better than us?

It is also human to not want certain people in your country. As I have said before, Nigerians are not forced to apply for US visas... i'm not sure what your argument is meant to achieve... if at all there is one.

BabaRamota1980:
My brother, i respect your response there but i guarantee you some people have done it the way you suggested and still were denied.

The truth is these vo's use strong ties to the homeland as collateral but there are Nigerians who abandoned strong ties and overstayed their visa with calculation to become US residents.

Let's think about this for a moment. The whole selection process is not standardized, it's all "discretionary".

It's like a taste test to pick which dish is best in a cooking competition. Judges will grade differently.

That's the fvck we are faced with when you walk up to a vo (judge) who has a sniffle and inflammed nostril that morning and could not get a whiff of your delicacy to rank you top.

We are wasting money. We are supplying the funds that sustain operational cost for the US Consulate and Embassy and they reward us with humiliation.

I know, not all applicants are qualified and must necessarily be denied, nonetheless, our acceptance rate ought to be far more impressive than what it is.

This guy you respond to should be given a visa going by his posted interaction with the vo.

Look my brother, there are certain elements in the Nigerian society that have proven track records of self-starter and competencies, and are crime free. Those elements are a gain to the American society even if they left on a pretense of returning to Nigeria but remained behind in US. This guy falls into that category and the discretion should have taken this into consideration.

US does not want dependents, economic burdens on their social welfare system. Does this guy look like somebody that will go line up for their welfare checks?

This is fvckery!

There is a lot of speculation here and you ascribe to US VOs superhuman powers. They have less than 3 minutes to interview you, how do you expect them to tell who is genuine or not? Yes there are a lot of Nigerians who have a lot to add to the US, but there are just as many Chinese, Japanese, Russians, Germans, French, Jews. in fact, one could argue that those nationalities have added more to the US than the Nigerians you argue for...

US VOs do not reward Nigerians with humiliation, we simply humiliate ourselves by choosing to traffic in dishonesty.

Pharmacology:
Hello Lady G and all other elders, I would want to know, would I need a transit visa for UK if I am transiting there on my way to the USA?

Use google

Drkay7:
Pls Lady G,I need your advice.I am a medical doctor,I intend going for a medical conference by August.The trip will be sponsored by my hospital.I am 31years not married but I want to apply as married with a kid.I don't have any travel history.I intend to spend just 3weeksMy immediate brother is a LPR in the U.S.My worries-I don't want to disclose that I have a relative there. Abuja and Lagos,Where do you advice for interview schedule and what other supporting document do I need.I have an invitation letter from the conference organisers and I have my hotel reservation.Pls I need your advice.

I’m willing to bet that you’d claim to be a Christian... another shameless fraud making things difficult for genuine and honest travelers.

eso18:
Lol! If I decide to indulge in your pettiness, this thread will unnecessarily grow long. So I won't.

You need to check the meaning of the word “petty”, it does not describe the post you quoted. He was simply pointing out a sad fact that many Nigerians are pathologically lazy and unimaginative. You would easily find the answer to your questions on LinkedIn, or if you simply asked your schools’ International Student Office.

braddddddd:
please house help me , my mind never rest because of this, when i was filling my form i made a mistake and filled "NO" IN THE SPACE WHERE THEY ASKED "HAVE YOU TRAVELED BEFORE" I HAVE TRAVELED TO 2 COUNTRIES BEFORE AND MY INTERVIEW IS BY THE CORNER please what do i do to correct this mistake in my form or should i go for interview if the question comes then i will answer "YES" that i have traveled before and make the vo understand that it was a mistake, please i need your advice. thanks??

That’s not a “mistake”, more likely you’ve been told you can’t get a visa with a virgin passport and you’ve added fraudulent trips to bolster your case. I cannot believe you forgot that you had traveled outside the country before while filling your application

CNKENCHOR:
They went for vacation. TANAZANIA has beautiful city like ZANZIBAR, a place to enjoy vacating

But a few posts above you said they went for an African conference... we are own worst enemies.
