Read the transcript well, the guy was cracking jokes

Is the fully funded plus 10k monthly upkeep real? That's the only part that interests me.

House, help me scrutinize this transcript. What are my chances of getting the visa?

Thank y'all for your anticipated cooperation.

Of course you can go with them. Not a problem at all

dumbiri99:
Okay I mean prescription drugs not hard drugs. Prescription drugs that can't be gotten over the counter in the US but can be gotten over the counter in Nigeria. That's what I mean?

Paracetamol and anti malarial are medications not drugs....drugs here means hard drugs, banned substance.

dumbiri99:
Wow. Even paracetamol and anti-malarial?
Plus there is a prescription medicine I use too for high blood pressure, I can't carry that one too?

I agree.

Bbnaija: Ebuka Evidently Expressed His Hatred For Tacha Tonight.

Before we delve into the main issue, a little detour.

So, I made a comment here last week about how heavily hypocritical Nigerians are about this BBNaija show. I only watch the show on Saturdays and Sundays, the parties and eviction shows respectively, and I don't understand why Nigerians are bit*ching so much about it.

All these moralistic, self-righteous people will be asking, "What is the essence of this BBNaija show?" Ogbeni, if you don't want to watch, don't tune in. Don't open threads concerning BBNaija. Submit your IP addresses let me see the kind of por*n y'all are watching. It's distracting Nigerian youths, are they retards? Don't they know they should only in their free time? Who's forcing them to borrow airtime to vote for already-made people?

.........................................................



So tonight, Ebuka was a plain bad show host. This isn't tribalistic cos I'm Igbo, but he didn't do well speaking to Tacha and addressing her like she's a cankerworm in the house.

He showed very clearly how much he hates the girl. Ebuka is allowed to have favorites but not to express favoritism or dislike openly.

He began by saying: "So, Tacha, you know all that's going on in the house. You seem to know who's losing and who's winning. You analyse everything bla bla bla... So tell me three characteristics of a winner,"

As a sharp PH babe, the girl said, "Tacha, Tacha, Tacha..."

Ebuka immediately took offense. In a demeaning way, he asked her, "What is the meaning of characteristics?" The girl said it means something that defines a winner.

He kept asking her the question in a very condescending manner and she kept saying, "Me." The girl even got surprised at a point about how aggressive he was.

Finally, he said, "I expected better," and some other rude statement he made, and moved to the next person.

....................................................................



At the end of the show, he began to shade Tacha very heavily but indirectly, saying that some housemates should know that they are not biggie himself but mere housemates. They should stop trying to know what the viewers want and have fun in the house. That some people here feel that because they have a so-called army outside, they can just sit through the show and win the money...


EBUKA, if you're on Nairaland, You messed up big time tonight putting that girl out there like that and demeaning like she was some slowpoke...


FYI, I want Omashola to win, not even the kain Tacha I'm here defending. I wonder why they didn't punish that Jackie girl for accusing Tacha of witchcraft. They let it slide. Defamation shouldn't be permitted even though it's a game.

Like play like play, na she go win even though she no go carry the money. Just like CeCe.

Good night, Nairaland.

Really?

seyewest:
Get what? they won't give him... except with very good travel history, they know if they denied you will find another route.

You should need because you'll definitely clear security to board your next flight. Without a Visa you cant clear security. Maybe you should call the embassy. Althiugh I'm sure you'll need a Visa.

dj4tolex:
do you think i would need a visa since i won't leave the airport.?

99.9%

dj4tolex:
do you mean the probability of getting it is 99%

But he will surely get it unless you're talking in terms of available dates for interview.

seyewest:
better go through Europe, for you to get a transit visa, you will have to go through normal interview.

Something as important as this why not go to the place where you will take the Yellow Fever Vaccine or go to Port Health at the Airport to verify.

pronto543:
Hi everyone,

I urgently need to know if yellow fever immunization is compulsory. I'm just hearing it's a new national policy and that it takes about 2 weeks to get it after paying the fee (2k naira) via remita.

I'm resuming at University of Kansas in about 2 weeks time so I barely have enough time. I eagerly await responses. Thank you all.

Use a card that has funds in the account. You'll book but your account wont be debited.

labiowo:
Hello Nairalander,

Thank you.

May God forgive you.

VulgarVulvas:
Nah only ruga matter dey make this goat go work

I think he meant it as a joke. Its not as serious as you're taking it. Just let go.

sharwama:
I know I play a lot, sometimes I wish I could be more serious.
However I consider the bolded really disrespectful, considering the recent happenings on social media. Now you don't owe me an apology, you don't have to accept that you are wrong but I need you to know that you have hurt my feelings and every good thing I stand for.
Have a productive new week.

I am interested in this journey too......wish you safe trip.

Just go with evidence of name change. That's all it's a simple matter.

creolehunt:
Hi guys.

Please I'm currently filling out the DS160 form but I have a confusion. After electronically submitting the completed form, do I still need to print it out and submit it physically at the embassy?

Secondly, my passport bears a different surname from my bank account. I did a 'change of surname' in 2016 and registered for my international passport with the new surname. While my bank accounts and other personal effects still bear the old surname.

Why I have been reluctant to reconcile this is because changing the surname on my account would automatically complicate my salary payment and before it would be resolved, this may take months.

I have a court affidavit and newspaper publication to this effect.

My question is, would the difference in surname between my passport and bank statement be a problem at the embassy.

Seyewest, salsera and anyone who can help please.

CONGRATULATIONS.

dheee:
Fairheart keep calm, your dreams are still valid!

Okay. Thank you.

USMissionNGRA:
Hello ysteph,

Your child will need to appear at the interview with you.

Dear US Mission Nigeria,

I have an F1 student Visa coming up soon. I also applied for my toddler as a dependant. Should I go with the child for the interview or can I just go with his F2 Visa application documents?

. You're funny.

Visa Transcript yesterday

My pipu, I just comot for the consulate dey waka inside VI as I no sabi road. Later I siddon for one bus stop like 5mins to recuperate.
Dat last question almost finish me

Guys, question can come anytime and anyhow, pray for favor and do your very possible best to sound confident

God bless everyone here and grant our heart desires.
Thanks so much to the men here. I appreciate.

Thank you very much.

fairheart:
Yes, you don't need to take the baby there. But go with his/her passport.

Good afternoon everyone....
If an F1 visa applicant has a dependent that is a toddler, is it necessary to go with the toddler for interview or just go with the visa application documents.
The reason i ask is this, the toddler has had B1/B2 visa issued twice and has never gone to the embassy.
As a baby, we were sent a message to bring in his passport and not come with him. This was in 2016.

..

Yes it is obviously somehow. We do not know the real details of the divorce and/or her story.

Time2win:
No, i am thinking the divorce is somehow cos the divorce is either a year or less than a year. The V.O made mention of that. She filed the divorce after the husband absconded, which is after their travel to the USA.

Secondly...you're assuming that its a proper divorce abi? I doubt.

Time2win:
Since the spouse is not in nigeria, how did she serve the petition? If she used courier, does she know the address of the spouse? I thought the two parties has to be aware.

Also, The court will not grant a divorce on a 1yr separation, except there is failure in complying with decree of restitution of conjugal rights made under the Act. If not, it has to comply to the 2yrs/3yrs rule.

I agree....but you do not know the specific facts of her case.
I am responding to what twoods said about signing divorce document.

Time2win:
Since the spouse is not in nigeria, how did she serve the petition? If she used courier, does she know the address of the spouse? I thought the two parties has to be aware.

Twoods...let me correct something.
In Nigeria, we don't sign divorce documents. The Petitioner files a Petition and serves it on the other spouse.
All the other spouse needs to do is file a response if he or she so wishes.
The only requirement on the part of the Petitioner is to serve the document on the other spouse ans show evidence in court.
He or she not being present the Petition will be heard and the divorce decree made.

I am thinking the original poster filled her marital status on the ds160 as married and not divorced. I may be wrong....just my thoughts.

TWoods:
Call a spade a spade, your chances of getting a visa are slim. The VOs have seen examples like yours time and time again. Even if you present a divorce document (which is hard to see since your ex spouse was not here to sign the document), how do you convince the VO that you’re not likely to get back together and remarry as soon as you get into the US? That’s the bottom line.

The issue is because you both got visas together the first time. It will always come up. Fill another DS160 let your marital status be divorced.

Katripka:
Thanks!

We were divorced after he moved to the US.

So here is a little background story, we were having a lot of marital troubles in the early years of our marriage, we both attended numerous counselling and part of the recommendations of the counsellor, was to travel on a family vacation together, in order to help the union.

We applied for a family visa and we travelled together. It was after we got to the US, that the story changed around staying back on our B1/B2. We got into a heated argument as I was unwilling to overstay, so I came back home and commenced the divorce proceedings which was finalized late last year.

I have the divorce documents but the VO wasn't even willing to listen let alone sight the documents. I tried explaining to her, that the opportunity to stay back presented itself, but because I was unwilling to jeopardize my future, I did not.

This is definitely not a case of wife going to join him but it's hard to believe going by the numerous atrocities committed by Nigerians
