My visa experience: (where to start from is always an issue), It pays to make sure that your documents are clear otherwise you'll end up paying a ridiculous price to the business centres close by to get a reprint done and stuff like that.

If and when you get the visa, be ready to be begged to 'share the joy' by all the security people

With that said, I'll just talk about what happened in the interview section.
There were four cubicles for the interviewers. On that day, only two were working: cubicle 1 ( the lady with the really curly hair) and cubicle 4 (an ugly chubby guy). The man in cubicle 3 (an Indian) showed up at some point but didn't attend to anybody while I was there.

The lady seemed to be in good cop mode and the guy looked like he had a hangover and was the bad cop of the day.

Of all the people that were interviewed by the lady while I was there, she refused only two. The reasons for her refusal were clear. One was a 7 month pregnant woman who wanted to travel at the end of this month and spend 2 months in the US. She kept insisting she wasn't going there to give birth but just wanted to shop for baby items which she could resell. The second refusal was a young man who was applying for a student visa. He said he wasn't working here in Nigeria and his cousin who had an IT business was going to sponsor him. He said his dream was to study in the states so he was doing anything meaningful here. I guess the lady was having a good day cos she did not really check documents and didn't grill the applicants.

The bad cop: of all the people he interviewed, only 3 were given visas. In most cases, his criteria for not giving was the applicant's lack of travel history and he still grilled them, scrutinised some people's documents and still said no.

Peeps when asked if you've travelled before please don't say 'yes, around the country' or anything like that. It sounds stupid and illiterate. The COs clearly are not asking if you've been to Taraba state or Bayelsa. They want to know if you've left the shores of Nigeria before.

It's a good thing we get to hear the questions they ask other people as it helps us prepare our own answers to those same questions.


Well I was interviewed by the lady (thank God) and I was asked the standard questions which were: what was my purpose of travelling, where was I going to in the US, have I travelled before, do I have any family in the US, was I pregnant (she said it was a standard question she had to ask), was I married, where did I work, how much did I earn (she asked to see the statement of accounts to verify that and I had to defend some of my account activities before she even raised the issues), how long did I intend to stay in the states (I got the tip from here to mention days not months or weeks), what my intended date of travel was and I was asked to go and collect the visa in 2 daytime at the VFS centre.

I was given 2 years multiple, Thank God! At least I don't have to see them again for the next 2 years.

I was told that the lady had been the one rejecting applications the week before and the guy had been the one giving that is why I believe that it is a good cop/bad cop act. People I know who hang out with them at their recreation club GQ on Queens drive, say that it really depends on their mood because they are always joking about how they let their mood determine how nice they were to the visa applicants.

My interview was yesterday. I got the visa but I don't know what they Are giving me till I get my passport back tomorrow. I thank God. The lady that interviewed me was just doling out the visas unlike her counterpart who wasn't giving at all. Meanwhile, I heard that she wasn't giving last week. I think they have a good cop/bad cop act going on. I thank God that I got it. Tomorrow I'll have more details.

Family › Re: Would A Nigerian Dad Ever Strike His Adult Daughter? by yvy1(f): 12:28pm On Mar 21, 2011
Very very possible. Parents like to be given at least 2 hours notice before their daughters go out and a detailed itineray if possible in this country because they might have made other plans for the family that evening and as long as she is still under their roof she has to comply otherwise one day she'll just cone back and see all her belongings outside.

As others have rightly pointed out, the guy must stop dating her in secret if his intentions are good so that the parents will at least be able to put a face to who she is hanging out with (a girl can not keep lying that she is out with her girlfriends everyday and night).

Then again, maybe the chick no too send the guy and just used that as an excuse not to see him cos it will be hard for him to verify from an impartial source.

@suxes2005 hi, my appointment date is for the first week in April. For the past 3 months I have not had a dime in my account ( it's reading 0) even though there was some form of cash flow in November/ December. My dad has agreed to be a co sponsor and I don't officially receive a salary I.e it's not paid into my account. I just get a cheque for it sometimes cash. My dilemma is that is it ok to still present the account statement like that even though I'll also be going with my dad's documents?

Fashion › Re: Is There Brazilian Waxing In Naija? by yvy1(f): 9:57pm On Apr 28, 2010
Go to BMS Spa (08038540869) on Magbon Close off Thompson Road off Bourdilllon. They are the best. The girls are indonesian and therefore understand the true meaniing of a brazilian wax ( they really get all the hairs out). Call them first to make an appointment. In my opinion they are the best. I can't remember the price but a full body wax (the whole works- full leg, full arm, underarm, brazilian, buttocks, back, etc) will cost you about 15k. They'll assign two people to you and in under 2hours you'll be done.

Montaigne Place (Clarins:08037130408) on Muri Okunola in VI is also good. It's easier to get an appointment with them, they are cheaper and have Nigerian staff who might not want to wax some places and that's where BMS beats them. Ask for Maria, she's quite thorough.
TV/Movies › Re: What's The Worst Movie You Have Watched So Far? by yvy1(f): 1:35am On Apr 17, 2010
try 'Reverend, I'm available'. A cheap Tyler Perry wannabe movie done in the US. Horrible plot, storyline and bad production. Even naija homemade videos are better.

Go to Health plus Pharmacy in at E centre in Yaba, MM2, that shopping complex opposite Barcelos in GRA Ikeja or my favourite branch because it is better stocked than the others: The Palms shopping mall in Lekki.

They are not cheap but you'll get good body building supplements from respected brands. Last time I checked, they had BCAA from GNC for about 13k, B complex from GNC, Solgar, Schiff and some other brands. They also had L- creatine, glutamine, l- arginine, biotin, chromium, CLA, whey protein powder, you name it. Med plus with its numerous branches doesn't even have any of the body building supplements in stock. However, if you find them cheaper elsewhere please let me know because I'm alo looking for how to cut costs.
