US Visit visa is 2 years.
When you arrive at a US Airport, CBP will grant you entry for usually max of 6 months for that trip.
You can travel multiple times on the same visa. Don't sha stay for the whole 6 months. Thats no longer a tourist visit.
Granting visa and entry to the US are different things

thanks a lot

flourishing247:


Your question is not clear.

Sorry I mean if i apply for a tourist visa and the VO decides to give me the visa, what duration do you think he's gona give considering I am a first time applicant ?
In UK for instance, first time applicants get 6months tourist visa, and subsequently they can apply for longer duration like 2 years. For US tourist visa what is the duration of visa given?

Please what is the USA tourist visa duration for first time applicant?
I am hearing 6 months, 2 years, etc
Can someone put me through please

Horokrox:
The real heroes are Ukrainians you say? Including the citizens of Donbass who voted massively to be part of Russia your "fierce fighting army" made of mostly recruits and border including foreign mercenaries most of whom get SLAUGHTERED like vermin by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.If you and all sympathisers of USA and NATO backed Ukraine weren't naturally DEMENTED you would have listened to the whole video which the ignorant OP posted as he DOESN'T intends to remove the regional governor's of Donbass.
The SUPERLATIVE description of Woe and Disgust is the performance of your beloved USA and NATO backed clown Zelensky led Ukraine whose forced conscript and foreign mercenaries comprised army keep getting decimated on the front despite what naturally Foolish dolts like you think and morever Russia already has it's supply of Geran,Lancet,etc drones even before getting more from Iran as part of international trade amongst allies unknown to Zombies like you.

"Killing civilians and damaging infrastructure" is what aptly describe the Nazi inspired Kiev regime so beloved by dummies like you who have been shelling the Donbass region since 2014 which brain DEAD unlettered nitwits like you are unaware of Including the recent shelling of the Crimean bridge and morever the real heroes are the militia of Donbass and the Russian forces and as usual brain DEAD IDIOTS like you aren't aware that despite USA and NATO not directly involved they have mercenaries including army personnel who give logistics to the demoralized Ukronazis army led by clown Zelensky.

A word of advice for you slowpoke;– (Though your Prion infected Cognitively declined neurons wouldn't comprehend) If actually Putin eventually nukes Ukraine let your cowardly overrated USA and NATO get involved and see if they wouldn't be NUKED out of existence which will shock Zombies like you being the natural LOSERS that they are economically militarily,etc and morever nobody cares if neighboring countries like Finland or Norway become part of NATO what matters is if your big time LOSER USA led NATO have the guts they should send military equipment to Finland or Norway and see what will happen which will shock mental slowpokes like you.

Ignorance is a disease...and like I said, TIME WILL TELL

opamoses1:








The Ukrainians are coming. Entrance of Kherson.

Meanwhile, Russian newly minted inexperienced soldiers are surrendering in large numbers.

If na you nko, you no go surrender ? Needless sensless war solely declared by a highly overrated deluded egocentric man. Now he is confused and acting irrational with no sense of direction. TIME WILL TELL !

Horokrox:
The only shameless DEFEAT and global humiliation is what is awaiting USA and NATO backed clown Zelensky and all his demented sympathisers including an IDIOT extraordinaire like you

Your deluded assertions are laughable
We all know who is already sufferring profound humiliation at the front line. In his delusions, he believed he had annexed the eastern and southern states of a sovereign nation and hastily declared them "Russian" only to be faced with the reality of a fierce fighting unkrainian army who are ever ready to fight to the end with thier last drop of blood. Now your highly overrated clown has been informed by his super Amageddon commander that the situation is critical and the useless man is now thinking of evacuating his stupidly installed fake regional leaders. Confused and appalled by the woeful performance of his fatigued and demoralised soldiers at the front line, he shamelessly ran to Iran for drones forgetting that drones cannot fight at the front line. Killing harmless civilians and damaging infrastructures with drones in a sovereign nation cannot make you a hero. The real heroes are ukrainians !
And to add to your pains, NATO and USA have not even got involved. They have only supplied limited amunitions with no boots on ground. Let PUTIN nuke Ukraine then he will see NATO boots on ground and the war will properly be defined.
No normal human with good conscience will be in support of a needless war that has sent innocent children, women, men and soldiers to thier untimely death just because of ego of one overrated man. From whatever angle you look at it, HE IS A BIG LOSER as he is already getting the opposite of what he is fighting for because his neighbouring countries who are not part of NATO have now rushed to secure application forms to join NATO thereby expanding the alliance, his nightmare. Ukraine is also fast-tracking on joining EU and NATO and at the end, RUSSIA will be surrounded by NATO and caged appropriately. God does His things in a mysterious way. Continue to support tyranny and injustice but TIME WILL TELL !

Russia will definitely lose in this very unwaranted, selfish war declared only by Russia. Resorting to an Amagedon brutal military commander cannot save Putin from imminent shameful disgraceful defeat.

The usual ranting of a drowning man.
Senseless war of ego.
When NATO gets invoved in the war, no one will tell you....try your Nuke first and get a little test of NATO.

He did not.

Fact is, the Soviet Union was on a downward slope by the 1960's...the oil boom of the 1970's just delayed the inevitable.(Some people were already seeing the downfall of the USSR by the early 1980's...when Gorby was just an apparatchnik)

The basis of the economy of the USSR was government run monopoly companies that were not allowed to compete globally. Meanwhile, the USA government won't protect their domestic companies the same way...with the result being that their companies had to up their game to compete with Europe and Japan and later on Korea and Taiwan....meaning they got innovative, better, and so forth. By the time Gorbachev came around, the soviet companies were weak compared to Western companies. Problem 1.

Also, the soviets gave free housing, free healthcare, etc...without paying for it by taxes, etc. By the 1980's they were running out of money to pay for free stuff (intially they got money from war repartrations from WW2, then the oil boom of the 1970's...THEN THE money ran out.) Problem 2.

Also, in the Western countries...you do well at work, they promote thee...and give you cash incentives. In the USSR? Maybe a promotion, and a medal, but not much in the way of cash incentives. Productivity suffers, economic development suffers. Problem 3.

On top of that, the USSR was basically Rossiya subsidsing smaller countries in Europe and Asia...and paying for a capital intensive defence industry, AND subsidisng a war in Afghanistan, AND...helping a lot of third world countries. That drains money faster. Problem 4.

There was nothing Gorbachev, or the hardliners who tried to remove him , could do.

The reason why we have a Communist china? The Chinese in 1979 realised that they had to make their economy capitalist., and eventually open up to global competition. That's why they still exist. If the Soviets had done the same in the 1960's...there still would have been a USSR.

Thank you for this

Actually the visit should be October 2022 but ends September 2023 hence the need for clarification on the expiry of my passport. An immigration officer also told me they can renew the passport but with an approval of their passport controller but with an extra fees. But my concern is just to clarify if I can travel back home while the passport has expired because if I start the renewal process now, only God knows when it would come out.

if the visit is from october 2022 then you should be ok as per visa application and no one will expect you to renew a passport that still has nearly 1 year validity. Alternatively you can go ahead and try renewal, the most important aspect is biometrics data capturing. If the new passport come out when you are in the UK someone you designate can collect it and send to you through DHL. However, like someone already said, you can also return back to Nigeria with your already expired passport without problem. In fact since the covid crisis and the consequent delays in issuing new passports the Nigerian immigration has authorised Nigerians especially in diaspora to travel with thier expired passpots without any hindrance and I personally know those who have been travelling to Nigeria with thier expired passports

funke:
Good evening house. Please I got a refusal mail since 30th June 2022 and tracking its still showing with DMC. How long does it take for one to get her passport after refusal? Also would like to query the exception raised as per my salary. I work with a bank and am surprised this was raised, my salary was changed sometimes last year but I didn't include the letter used to advise me in my application and pay slip in my application. Kindly advise because I want to send administrative review. For those that have send administrative review kindly help out with sample used.

sorry for the refusal funke....but does it mean refusals get e-mail refuse alerts before receiving thier passports?

tolats:
Someone please help!

I am planning to apply for a standard visitors visa (academics) or Temporary Work – Government Authorised Exchange visa (for sponsored researcherer) - (not even sure which one to go for yet) in September or thereabout for a Postdoctoral research visit for 12 months in UK. My question is about my Passport which expires in 13 September 2023 but the suppose visit would end 30 September 2023. Do I need to renew my passport in order to have the whole period of visit/visa covered in the passport or I should go ahead and apply with the passport that would expire before my visit ends?

Please I need your advice. Thanks in advance.

Even though i think it's too early to apply now for september 2023 visa, in your case I will suggest at the ideal time, you apply with the same passport and write a simple explanatory letter to explain that your passport will be renewed before the expiration of the current one while stating you couldnt have renewed it before applying for the visa as the passport still had up to 6 months life span.
Alternatively, still try to renew your passport even if it has more than 6 months left before end of validity, you can never tell how possible it could be. I am a living witness because i have a passport that expires 10th december 2022 but i still applied for a new one (10 yr passport) in March 2022 using an agent in Lagos and the passport came out in May. Try to speak to an immigration agent and you ll be surprised many things are possible in this country.

Schengen visa through France embassy processing time is fast especially if you have obtained Schengen visa before

very correct

eseh1:
Really, is that possible, thought old passport must be stamped cancelled before the release of a new passport.

it's possible ... after capturing for my new passport, the agent promised to bring it to me when it's out so i didnt need to go collect it myself and I wasn't asked to send my old passport either.
Besides, anything is possible in this country

babyfaiz:

Did you do ‘keep my passport’ with the UK? It seems you submitted your passport to the French embassy

i used my old passport that will expire in january 2023 to apply for UK after waiting endlessly for my new passport to be out (booklet shortage)
When the new passport came out boom, i applied for schengen.

babyfaiz:

France ke? No be UK visa, TLS Ikeja? Don’t confuse us please. Make it clear to ‘us’.

sorry, I just realised it's my schengen visa application for France that has been processed and not the UK. Can you Imagine, the schengen visa application was only submitted on monday 27 june and its already processed. I never expected it this fast that's why I immediately thought it was the UK visa application submitted since 12 may, O Lord

fingers crossed

Faber:
This guy was rejected by Mbaise people as their Bishop because he hailed from Anambra State. But those that brought the Gospel to Onitsha and entire Igbo land were from Ireland. As Mbaise diocese of Ahiara rejected him. He exclaimed: " my bones shall rest in Ahiara Diocese" that alone signalled his faith, courage and readiness to die for the sake of God, because it was God that called him to be a pastor and leader in Mbaise.

Peter Obi was governor of Anambra State then, he prevailed on him to forget about Mbaise diocese, that God knows the best. bishop Peter went back to his home diocese of Awka and remained without an Episcopal see. Some where calling him a Bishop in a parish, some called him Vagus Bishop. He kept his faith and keep on contributing to the work of God. In 2020 Pope Francis appointed him as Bishop of the new diocese of Ekwulobia in Anambra state that's Governor Soludo's home town. He packed his luggage to Ekwulobia without fear to lay foundation for the diocese.
Barely 3 years, he is now appointed Cardinal, the highest ranking cleric after the Pope. He will take part in the next elections ( conclave) to elect a new Pope if Pope Francis dies or resigns.

My people God writes on a crooked line. The rejected is now the chief corner stone.

I am Proudly Mormon, but I read this guy's story with Mbaise people and have been following his development since then...

Thank you so much for this summary of the travails of Bishop Okpaleke. It was was really pathetic the way he was treated by Mbaise people who locked him out of his episcopal seat. Today he is celebrated by Rome and his ministry will continue to grow from strength to strength. I am proudly Anglican but i followed his story closely. God bless the Pope, the church and all lovers of God. Big Congrats Cardinal Okpaleke !

Please OP, get to a good hospital and request to see a dermatologist as quickly as possible because that wound looks like a "suspicious lesion" likely a squamous cell carcinoma (raised irregular edges with a necrotic center, failing to heal). The good thing is it can be easily treated if done early. Sure it needs a biopsy for confirmation but that should not delay surgical excision to avoid it spreading. Please dont ignore this advise or you can dm me if you need further clarification. Peace !
