PLEASE DO NOT PATRONIZE AGENTS. You are more educated than almost all the agents around. Nairaland is a gold mine. Most of the agents get their info from nairaland. So if you have access to nairaland why do you patronize them. These agents mix up most peoples info and give wrong advise to people. Imagine an agent advising two siblings (brother and sister) to get married because it is easier for married people to get US visa. What kind of stupid and inhumane advise is that?They listened to the agent and of course the VO bounced them. Now they are trying to change the sister's fake maiden name she used on her passport back to her original maiden name.

These days one pack men just dey show theirselves . First they dealt with Anthony Joshua. Now they are proving they are tight in bed. Wonders shall never end.

On a more serious note after reading this section below i feel the man should be locked up for a very long time. He is evil.

Funny thing is that the embassy don't refuse visa on politicians and their children.

Politicians have diplomatic passports.

This fake news oh! Stop proliferating fake news

I have been to about 6 Redeem Church Parishes here in Indianapolis to meet up with my clients and close deals and the multitude of Nigerians I see in those Parishes makes me wonder if there is anyone left in Nigeria. This is just Indiana o, Imagine the number of Nigerians you will see in Chicago, Atlanta, New York, Dallas and Maryland YOU GO FEAR!

But they are now wiser; any Nigerian that pays for U.S Visa fee in 2019 is like throwing money into the Ocean.

You didn't even mention houston. The city with most Nigerians

Uglyaddy:
So if they grant you visa,you wont rush there abi?
Cox I know you as a stalker in travel section.

You are too mean and harsh

Lionessza6:
They will never comment on such a thread . This type of news makes them boil inside, bad news from other African countries gives them hope . If this was a plane crash , this thread would have been on page 10 by now .

Madam are you okay? Why so much hate for foreigners? Oh! I forgot you are South African.

Love your "TOYS" Dino. Love your "TOYS"

Everybody wan comot for the shit hole.

doublecross:
Lol easy bro. yahoo and kidnapping no be the same. why waste s much energy on the least of your problems. channel that energy to the corrupt politicians looting all of our wealth. do you know how much these guys steal? if they decide to give a million naira each to all the youths in the country we still will have more than enough.

Bros i totally agree with you. I even detest politicians more than the criminals i initially mentioned. Politicians are criminals,heartless,lack empathy and conscience and are the cause of our current predicament in Nigeria. They are worst kind of humans on earth. Worse than yahoo boys and kidnappers combined because their looting/stealing affects millions of lives.

Hello Bro.

Same issue here. I'm also flying with Air Maroc to New York. I'm going to Florida State University for my PhD. I intend to stay in New York with a friend for 2/3 days. He's also a PhD student there.

I intend to go with Bus or Train (cheaper than flights). House hope all these arrangements won't raise issues.

Bros if you can pay for Qatar Airways please do because my female colleague who flew with Air Maroc warned me seriously against it. She said Air Maroc is the worst flight she has ever flown in. One way tickets are usually more expensive ,book a two way ticket.
Raise which issue? There is nothing suspicious about your travel iternary. Wish you all the best. When you get to Florida don't forget to visit World Disney World, Universal Studios, Orlando Eye, Gator Land, Lego land etc . Even if you are going for your studies still find time to relax. Remember the saying," All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy"

Una no wan work abi wetin? Me wey be Ijaw man(get oil for backyard) wey una dey tag as lazy dey do legitimate work. I go wake up around 6:30 a.m dey drive dey go work everyday for lagos(another man state). See leaders of tomorrow. I wish they could enact the death sentence by lethal injection or electric chair for Yahoo boys and Kidnappers.

Please oh. This is a real problem I’m having. I can even post the video here if you want to see. Has anyone had this issue or knows how to resolve it? Thank you.

Where is that Mc Oluomo? See wetin your people dey do.

Now you know that it is a Christian University, so stay clear. Nigerians too like trouble. You can't go to another man's house and stamp your authority there. The owner of the school doesn't want a mosque in the school . Why don't we respect his policies?

Hmmm

Shuoo...na British boy sef...this is an attack on Nigeria's sovereignty

He might not be a british citizen.

This grp is too quiet no update on new trends interview,visa timeline etc

Noticed it too. Wanted to lament about two weeks ago but remembered the level of recent visa denials.
If you observe the Giving birth in Canada thread has suddenly come alive.
I could remember justwise trying to resuscitate the Giving birth in Canada thread a while ago. His wish has been answered but at the expense of this thread

otunbadare01:
Will appreciate if you can link me with your agent?

Thanks

I have never used an agent before.Wouldn't advice you to. I got all the info from here (nairaland).I think both countries(US and Canada) emphasize on DIY(Do It Yourself).

seyewest:
Will the dust ever settle?

It would.Just as i was about reading your message. I heard on CNN that Trump was considering Temporary Status or Asylum for Venezualans. Who would have thought Trump would make that kind of statement? It was alleged that because of the upcoming elections he wants to soften his stance on immigration. Maybe later he might be worried about Nigerian-Americans leaning towards the democratic party .What's happening now is what i call in pidgin english "INITIAL GRA GRA". Dust will settle. Presidential election is approaching

Hey guys. Please I need your urgent help on below!!!!

During my first and only interview,US embassy advised we should drop it(DS-160 form) behind. Only go with stuffs that can increase your eligibility for the visa. Eg . Last six months Payslips,last six months account statement,Marriage certificate,picture evidence of travel history,hotel booking confirmation,Employment letter etc
Although, they might not request to see any of this during your interview.

And na $180 I pay for

Dis yeye hotel wen blike naija sec school so o

$180 per night. Wow !! That's a lot and the h/motel doesn't look so sophisticated . From outside . I no know how inside be?

Spanishmilf:
wow never knew UK, Canada and Australia visa is so easy to get

Is American visa easy to get?To get interview appointment alone one has to sleep on his laptop for days. After that you go for interview and the probabilty of success is about 10%. Do you go for interview for Netherland(Schengen) ,Canadian,Australian or UK visa and the probability of getting it is far more than the 10% success rate of US visa. My wife,daughter and my humble self all have canadian visa with the exception of my son who was born in Houston.And we all got it the first time we applied.Renewed again and got 5 years visa. So what is difficult in getting Canadian visa?

akagson:
If I for instance, pick Abuja, can I at some point switch back to Lagos if the opportunity pops back up? For me it has been a complicated situation. I just arrived Lagos from the North few days ago for a program. That was the main reason for delaying it because there were uncertainties surrounding my situation. Now, this is adding a new situation — going back and forth opposite ends of the country.

I doubt if you can find any available appointment date in lagos any time soon because some people have paid agents who sleep on US visa appointment pages refreshing the pages constantly to find any dates as a result of cancelled appointments. And the pay the agents take is commensurate to your to and fro flight tickets if not more.
If you have the flight money why don't you book the Abuja appointment. The combined duration of the to and fro Abuja flight is about 1hr 30 mins.

akagson:
Is it because they all filled?
I noticed something tho, when I pick Abuja Embassy, there appears to be available dates (not 100% sure tho), but when I pick the Lagos Consulate, then there's no available date.

Is the Lagos one typically like that most of the time? Does it mean I have to go all the way to Abuja for an interview?

I think you need to pick Abuja Embassy appointment fast before the dates are taken.Please confirm if there are still available dates in Abuja . The only additional cost you would incure are flights to and fro Abuja

Rimini:
Hi Guys,
Please what are the chances for a family of 4 going to the u.s for a vacation, along with their grandma; both parents are working and bring in up to a mil monthly and the kids are ages 19 and 11? One's in university and the other in secondary school. The grandma is working and has a very good income as well. They would like to travel for her 70th birthday and just to have fun and leisure time. Location is in dallas, where a brother lives, he's a citizen with a family and a good job.
Please what are the likely questions to be asked and how would they be able to prove home ties?
Also, how best do you put across that you you're just going for a vacation? (The proposed travel time in the ds-160 is between july-september and they want to spend 3 weeks). (They have been to the u.s once (mother, kids and grandma),about 12 years ago and have taken a family trip to s.a 4 years ago. Both parents have a lot of travel history.)

Thankyou

Under normal circumstances , you would have a good chance. But there is nothing normal under this current US administration. Imagine people trying to get appointment for interview and getting messages like "no appointment dates are available."
These are terrible times for America tourists like me. I would advice you guys to go on vacation else where like UK,Netherlands,Australia,Canada etc. for now. When grandma is seventy-five years old(by then Trump would be out)you guys can consider US again.
My visa expires December,2019 my brother i have given up trying to renew for now until the dust settles

akagson:
Hey guys, see me see wahala o!!
I'm trying to make an appointment for the Lagos consular office. After paying all the fees etc, now it gets time to make the appointment and they say
"There are currently no appointments available".
I'm due to resume school by August for my next semester. What do I do? Will appointments open up at some point?
Why are there no appointments available? Am I doomed or what?

It seems the appointment dates you will find are from November. That's if you can access the appointment page. I hope you aren't doomed.

Guys this is urgent,
while filling my son's DS-160 form, place of birth was meant to be Asaba Nigeria but erroneously filled Kabba Nigeria, our interview is tomorrow morning, how do I correct this information, please?

Why don't you visit Disneyland.

They are suppose to seize the excess of about $5000 the woman was with and not seizing the $15,000 they declared. From what i have watched on DSTV's BORDER SECURITY- America Frontline, they will warn you first ,then if it is repeated the second time,they will confiscate your undeclared amount.
