For all of us including I,may favour slap us left right centre as soon we step into the embassy on Tuesday morning, Dec 5th receive favour oo. Let's keep hope alive. Am really enjoying all the transcript and informations here. I will testify soon too, 4days only noni.

The US visa process does not run on favor, save yourself the trouble. Prepare well, make sure you have genuine documents and if you are a genuine student, you should have no problem.

Please permit me to ask a question.

A little story about my situation.
I am married traditionally, no traditional marriage celebration yet but bride price is already paid and all. Our traditional and white wedding is coming up July next year. I reside in the United states and I am a US citizen, i will be graduating school next year may 2018 and i want my husband to come for my graduation and after the graduation, we will both return to Nigeria for our marriage preparation, because that is where our both parents lives and also he is still in theological school in Nigeria because he is on the road to becoming a priest and next year will be his last year before he can be Ordained we don't want to jeopardized all the years he has put in for his passion. My school offers invitation letter to present at the immigration to family members and loved ones to attend graduation from out the country.

The story is that before my husband married me traditionally, he had went to the US embassy twice (in a space of two weeks) for a conference visa to attend a church conference that the church wanted him and his Mentor (Archdeacon) to attend and the church was sponsoring the trip, but was denied both times. The first time he got denied, he said that the interviewer told him he was too young (34 years old), but the church decided to send him back again to the embassy since the mentor they paired him up with to go to the conference got his visa, they thought that with that influence that the embassy will also issue him a visa since it was both of them that they are sending to the conference. The second time he was told that the conference is not enough reason to be going to America. The ironic thing is that the church sent him and his mentor on the same conference, but the mentor got the visa based on the conference that he was denied visa.

My question now is, since i want my husband to come for my graduation ceremony since i don't have family or loved ones here to attend. I am an only child. My first graduation, i felt so lonely and sad because everyone else had their family and loved ones with them but i didn't. I want him to be present at my graduation and after we both can travel back to Nigeria for the wedding ceremony and all, before I can petition for him to come live with me in the states. Please do you think that his previous appearance to the embassy will have any impact on him going again to the embassy since he went there already twice but this time with the invitation that my school will give to him. Or should i just forfeit him coming for my graduation and just fill fiance Visa for him after our wedding in July 2018 or just fill for Green Card for him.

Any advice will be gladly appreciated
Please Help a sister in need.
Thank you in advance

why dont you do a court wedding and then file a fiance visa for him now?

oluwadamilare26:
Well, a buddy of mine who has BSc in Statistics is in the US now studying another BSc in Computer and Information Science.


May God help us all.

Bsc to Bsc is manageable, Bsc to AAS makes no sense.

Nigeria could be this, if only we had the desire to do better and make a personal commitment to integrity and doing only what is right.

Monsurat123:

That's the last question he ask and he gave me blue paper



Note please what are the better and more convincing answer I can give if they ask this same question on my next interview pls help me I really want to go and study there. Thanks

No one can give you a more convincing answer to say. You should simply state the truth. If it is not enough then you should re-evaluate. To be honest, social work isn't that great of a degree and the pay is crap. Also there is nothing special about social work that you need a US degree for it.

Kay25:
That's d lie in d pot of ur mouth the church does thing like this before you bigot just want them to start showing off which is not even accepted by me

Nigerians have been dying in Libya for decades... where was the church then? Nigerians are dying right here in Lagos... where is the church?

femiart:
Hi everyone, please i applied to a college for AAS degree in texas and i was told to submit my transcript. High sch inclusive. And that the transcript should be evaluated by any reputable agency. Please which agency is reliable. I m looking to use my NECO result and my bsc transcript. Tnx

You already have a Bachelors degree, what would you give the VO as the reason why you're paying so much money and flying thousands of miles for an Associates degree? Right there you just exposed the fact that you're not a genuine student.

Itorobaby:
Hello everyone am new here, please i need help with process of getting admision and visa, i have a business that has been running for the past 5yrs but my first degree is computer science, i want to go for MBA , pls which schools will accept me, am married with kids, what are my chances of getting admission and study visa. Thanks for your responds

So while someone is busy figuring out your future for you, what would you be doing with your time?

PointZerom:
Yes, he's wise to you not to me. A man that constantly beat her wife and later chased her away cannot be a wise man to me. What has your Daddy Freeze done for humanity?. Very soon the table will turn against him and the people will ask him to help the poor as an example to others. Let your daddy freezer sell his expensive Rolex watch and give to the poor. Let him do what pastors cannot do then I will take him seriously.

lol so you're saying that your shepherds are actually just frauds, hypocrites who cannot measure up to the messages they preach. You want a lay man to mirror the very character that your own pastors do not exhibit? You need to wake up from your stupor.

royal1989:
please help!!! I gave an agent a photocopy of my visa fees receipt and bio page for USA visiting visa application in 2011.without my knowledge he scheduled an interview appointment for me,he had provided fake 'name and date of birth for both my parents. I went for the interview and I was denial the visa.but now I want to reapply without know those information. please what will I do?

I guess you also went to the interview without your knowledge right?

You went to the interview, knowing full well that your application was based on lies... that makes you just as complicit. If you had gotten a visa successfully, you won't ever have mentioned that you lied on your application. You'd most likely be crowing about how it was all God's "favor". Applying "without those information" is a waste of your time and money. That information will be pulled up when next you apply. Sorry, you're pretty much screwed. Try another country.

I read through your brief profile... you've been denied a UK visa, and a Norway visa in the last 2 years. In that same time frame, the birthdate on your birth certificate and passport are not consistent, which suggests you are quite comfortable committing fraud. You're better off getting a job in Nigeria and stop wasting so much money and bandwidth.

MamaOO:
You mamas that Rayray have scammed have a way to nail her. Slimbims said she’s renting the apartment shey? GhenGhen! Very good! Y’all just got her. As a tenant, anybody that’s not on your lease is not supposed to live in your house unless they contact the landlord or something. She’s basically subletting and doing business with someone else’s apartment and that alone is enough to get her charged!

I’ll be disappointed if none of the moms that she did dirty make her pay! I hate people who make gain off of people’s sweat. And to be downright evil and nasty to Join it. Nah!

Very true!

MamaOO:
No no no. This is evil and plain wrong. I would advise you to at least complain to the authorities. It doesn’t cost anything. All you need to do is tell them what happened and she will be invited for questioning.

In as much as you guys have an agreement and from what our wrote, she breached that agreement BIG TIME! She’s mad. In fact I’m mad on your behalf right now. I need you to complain to the cops for these reasons:

1. Some of us Nigerians that live here capitalize on the fact that when you get in trouble with the police in Nigeria, it’s usually a mess and they might end up indicting the innocent person. Nigerians that come here come with that mindset of “I no want police wahala oo. But sincerely they’re your friend in this case and they will help you get your money back.

2. I need you to teach her a lesson. Yes. She’s capitalizing on the fact that she has a house and people come here for birth tourism to make money. What she is charging you is an atrocity! $700 per room in Houston? What sort of daylight robbery is that? You’re practicall paying her mortgage. I live in California, When we lived in a rented apartment, we paid $2000 for a three bedroom. And that’s California. Housing is dirt cheap in Houston. A three bedroom in Houston (Good neighborhood) shouldn’t be more than $1300. So she charging that amount and still treating you like garbage is an atrocity!

3. Lastly I’d like for you to report her to the cops so that some other unsuspecting people wil not fall victim! This is wrong on so many levels!

In fact if you don’t mind, put her address and nairaland ID up here so other people will not fall for these kinds of traps.

Unless there was a physical and signed agreement, there is nothing the police can do. It is her word against yours. The police will not help you collect your money, at best they will ask you if you want to file charges...

Also, she can charge whatever she wants. It's her home and there is no law against that.

ikesim:
Good day every1...please, I'm a permanent resident in U.S, got married in May, my wife and I are expecting a baby in march, she is stil living in Nigeria. I would have filed for her but with green card it takes about 2 years before that goes through for her to come, I recently applied for my citizenship, awaiting my interview date, but right now she will be due before I even get my citizenship and apply for her.

So my question is....
What are our chances if I invite her to U.S for delivery so that I can take care of her and the baby during and after delivery.

Be patient. She can have the baby in Nigeria. Once you become a US citizen, its a piece of cake to file for her and your son.

Desyner:
Where is DaddyFrozenMind and his gang ?

The church has 7 parishes in Libya and it took CNN making this a worldwide story before they decided to help? We are jokes.

hawklan:
Appreciate your response but i would like to add that going to yankee and extent of stay differ from immigrant to immigrant from a reliable source am not denying if the said person will not be invited but all am saying is the reason for staying depends on the traveller and breaching any US law was not actioned then i still dont see any issue with it. #mysmallchinchin

That "reliable source" is deceiving you.

Josh4wod:
You're wrong Bro, maybe as you have always been when it comes to the acknowledgement of God, it's isn't a surprise because the way God works is beyond your imagination, especially those far from him.
Why not read about Peter, Joseph, David, Daniel, Solomon and other distinguished youths we have in the Bible that were singled out through this same said grace and see how they got the grace among those that still has the said breath.

God's grace appears in all manner of ways!!

Of course, God works in ways beyond our imagination... we see it in the complexity of life on earth. I've also read about the early old testament kings and new testament apostles. The one thing you will notice is that these were men of deep integrity, men of virtue, men of quality, although they weren't perfect. Can YOU stand the beatings, jailings and pain that apostle Peter endured by virtue of his decision to follow Jesus? Are you comparing yourself to David who spent years in the wilderness trying to avoid death at the hands of Saul? What of Joseph? Are you willing to go to jail, be a servant, be betrayed by your own kin, all the while maintaining a joyful attitude? These were men, who even in the face of adversity, refused to compromise their integrity... can we say the same of Nigerians?

We love to claim "grace" but cannot be counted on to endure 0.001% of the pain that the prophets of old endured. Yes God singled them out through grace, but you bet they paid a heavy price for that calling. You folks can't even be counted on to stay on a line without trying to cheat your way forward... sure grace indeed. When it comes to visas, nigerians want grace. When it comes to hard work and integrity, we find them massively wanting.

azpekuliar:
Well said Omokri. He left out that Evil Warhawking Killary Klinton too.

This is why no one takes Africans seriously. Nobody, regardless of how evil, will dare sell an American to slavery... because they know that Americans do not joke with their citizens and will readily go to war over one child. A Nigerian? Pls... our government is ready to sell us at any price.

Here are Nigerians, sold as slaves, because the alternative (staying in their own country) is no better than slavery. Here is Reno, pretending as if slavery does not exist in the same Nigeria (oh wait, Reno is safe in his UK abode). Here is Reno, pretending as if those Nigerian slaves wouldn't be roaming the streets of Lagos today with no jobs, no hope, no food, no competent government, dilapidated infrastructure. Long before Obama, Nigerians were busy dying in Libya and the mediterranean sea. Rather than hold our government responsible for creating a situation where our young men see running off to libya and being sold as slaves as a better alternative to staying in a country that holds nothing but despair, he is busy chastising Obama. Obama went into Libya primarily to protect American interests... who cares if Nigerians end up as collateral damage?

Perhaps Reno also blames Obama for the 26 Nigerian women who perished off the coast of Libya too? The very same people that no single Nigerian government official deemed fit to be present at their burial as another foreign nation took responsibility. It took an American media company (CNN) to fly thousands of miles to expose a travesty in our own backyard. Where was our own NTA? Yeah Reno, everything is the fault of the Americans. When are we going to blame them for the recession in Nigeria? Nigeria and its people are the world's biggest jokes.

oluwadamilare26:
Well, SAT helps funding... but if you have your money... not that necessary

Rich Americans still take the SAT. But as you said, if you have your money and all you're interested in is a low tier school simply interested in your tuition, sure.

oluwadamilare26:
Not all schools require SAT for Bachelor degree... Park University require only IELTS

True, but if you're truly a genuine student, won't you be interested in taking an exam that could give you an edge in terms of admissions and potential for funding?

Nwabu007:
Hopefully, mine wil come up next year. I had to reconsider further processing of St John University as I wasn't awarded TA. New York is very expensive place to study and live and like Egbon Twood would say, take your time to plan your study. Lagosismyhome would always advise, REFIRE! That's what I have done with three schools for Fall 2018.

If you would like to stay up in the northeast, consider the University of Rochester, Penn State, Michigan State, UMich. I wish you the best!

Olamsanj:
How would you get admitted to University of Houston and go for Franklin University instead. Probably that’s what the VO sees too. My thought tho!

Are we 100% sure he was actually admitted to the University of Houston?

My watchword...

eyinola:
USA embassy don't deal with documents, only thing they collect from applicants is ur passport, he didn't even ask for my wages. He was just to quick to decide

They used to. I recall more than 15 years ago, you went with bank statements, letters of invitation etc. They stopped because we can't be trusted to do anything straight. We are the architects of our own misfortune. It's sad that most haven't learnt anything from this at all.

Senate111:
If you agree that grace is hardwork and grace is from God, what then is the argument. All am saying is that it take more than just thinking its by your effort alone. cos your hard work alone will only lead to frustration.

We both agree on one thing though. You can't rule in Nigeria. We know there is a problem somewhere and we need a change of mind set not on issues on innovation and creativity because we have that in abbundant but on leadership and those who are being led.

At no point have I said life is by hard work alone. If you note my post which you quoted, I made mention of the fact that Americans also depend on grace too. In fact these foreign countries exported Christianity to us. The problem isn’t grace at all, it is that Nigerians have decided to substitute hard work and doing the right thing with a warped form of “grace”. We bribe, cheat, manipulate, then cry about grace when we want visas to the countries of those who chose the tough road of integrity and hard work. How many of us here can boldly raise their hands to say they don’t grease the palms of others just to get ahead of others by hook or crook?

Yes I unashamedly rely on grace to get through each day. But i also know that my access to healthcare facilities, good roads, safe airlines etc isn’t just based on Long prayers alone, but by the hard work and dedication of ordinary people like you and me.

kenneyyice:
Good day blowjobs, I have been reading your post for a while now and I must say its really inspiring!. I love your stands on illegal immigration and hope that one day Nigerians and Africans at large will see it from your point of view. am a hustler like you too but wanna change the hustle!


Am a student of UNIBEN currently in 500level in petroleum Engineering but honestly, the future doesn't look too bright as before in the oil and gas sector so I wanna switch career prospect now to becoming a pilot!. it has always been my child hood dream due to some constrains (Majorly funds), I was unable to pursue it.

truth be told, I have no funds but by Gods grace have started planing on how to raise this money for it mostly for the visa and flights...

pls BJ, do you have any advice, recommendations about this?? do you know any school with a very good scholarship schemes that I can enroll to.



intact, if you where in my shoes, what do you think I should start doing for now??



your response will be greatly appreciated! .

Bear in mind that studying to be a pilot as an international student has become difficult no thanks to the 9-11 incident. It’s not impossible, but expect a lot of added scrutiny.

[quote author=Senate111 post=62824919][/quote]If you think hard work is grace, then I dare say you’ve just eloquently described why Nigeria and the United States are what they are today. Americans lean on grace - the grace to be considered worthy to be heirs of Jesus despite being born in sin. They also value the virtues of hard work, creativity and innovation. You on the other hand think hard work is a waste of time. You want “grace” to obtain benefits you haven’t worked for. Well it sounds like the Americans got it right.

I can’t come back to rule you... it would be frustrating having to deal with people who want to generate electricity by grace alone.

Ayat1209:
Hello fam., 

my school refused to send an email copy of my i20, but I persuaded them to send me the SEVIS number which they did. My questions are:

1- can I fill ds 160 and book an interview date without my i20 hard copy? 
2- I do I fill request for an expedited appointment at the Abuja consulate office.? 

Note- my i20 should be in Nigeria in the next 4-5 business days. Thanks for your contribution.

patience my dear. If your I-20 is coming in 5 days, why don't you wait?

hawklan:
As long as you know you have not violated any rule or law guiding against your stay, At the POE you are stamped to stay for 6 months how u want to use it is your business but just don't over stay which from your explanation you haven't. kindly go ahead and do your drop box and expect your goodnews.

Technically not true. When you apply for a visa, you told them that you had a job or school or something that would compel you to return to Nigeria. Staying 5 months at a time suggests that this is not the case.

Lamide123:
I applied for US visa and approved for 2 year tourist visa in February 2016. I have used this visa 3 times.
I used it in May 2016 - I stayed in US for only 1 month
I used it in September 2016 - I stayed for 5 months
I used it in August 2017- I stayed for 3 months.

I never overstayed or give birth while in USA

About to go for visa renewal in December or January. Need advice from gurus in the house

This will trigger an interview for sure. Do you not have a job here in Nigeria? You're spending 50% of your time in the US, doing what?
