I hate police but that woman look more like the annoying nagging type of woman that will talk silly and can only be taken care of, with a slap, regardless!!!

Imagine the reasoning of an adult male from Nigeria

My crush frkm way back... Stella..

And Alonso? Pedro? Fabregas? Truth is , everybody no go fit play for world cup.

ritzyvic1:
Yeah

I have been trying to pay for a professional certification exam in ascp.org with my GTB naira MasterCard but has been getting error message. I have confirmed that the issue is not from card and contacted ASCP customer care. I follwed the instructions but to no avail.
But I feel that any card issued by an American financial institution( such as payoneer, American express etc.) will work. Please if you have such and willing to help me make the online payment while I give you the money in cash contact me. You can state your fees.
Alternatively, if you have made any payment in that site and can suggest to me how to go about this, I'll appreciate that much. Thanks

Have u done this exam? Do they have a centre in Africa ; Nigeria or Ghana to write the exams

classyfabrics:
I wonder too o. I didn't expect to be questioned at heathrow.

In used BA too, and AA. Nobody asked any questions . Maybe because the flight was to Dallas and naija plenty small .many of us coming from Lagos together

Experience at poe at dfw in Dallas on the
8th of may I flew Alone without dad
British airways was just average compared with the Emirates we used to Dubai

While filling the APC form at the kiosk, I got a big X on my form
I was directed to another queue
In my mind e don be today
Maybe because I didn't travel with dad
So I joined the queue
And when it got to my turn

Poe: you have vegetables in your bag (I had click on yes when asked if I had any veggies at the kiosk)
Me: yes, but it's Dried
Poe: stamped me in for 6 months

That was all
I had booked my greyhound busa week before
So I got to greyhound bus statoon in Dallas downtown (terrible place I must say , terrible)
I got to Oklahoma pretty late

Now my experience so far in oklahoma
The place is boring , no fun place, nothing special can't wait to be home
Thanks seyewest , ladyguinivere, cosade and other great men of God

Thanks seyewest , I was following this your thread codedly

Interview is for 9am.. wil post my transcript soon...

givan:
High level of incompetence from the police! They had a back door in their security Post but they choose to barricade themselves inside.

They should have exited from the back of their security post, and held the main entrance from behind the car while the wait for reinforcement.

When they had no clear knowledge if they are surrounded or not? Wondering where those guys got grenades from...

OmoBendel24:
I think you can do this on your own with dad instead of your wife, valid.

Dad too should have a chunk of the bite na, valid sha.

Not necessarily an issue, but can he prove he can sponsor himself if the need arises? Easy to prove though.... But then, who's sponsoring the trip and why isn't there a preference to state same instead of dad?

1)So what do I say if asked why wife isn't going? I can't possibly tell them.that wife doesn't fancy america
2) do we need mums visa page for him?
3) dad has savings but he is supported by my brother and i.

Seyewest, Ladyguinivere, omobendel24, Chloe and other Gurus, I just finished with the 540 pages of volume two of this discussion.
I am married , 32, went to UAE last year with my wife. But intend travelling to the US with my dad for my elder brothers graduation. He is a legal resident and entered legally.

Question is, is it a red flag that I am going with my dad and not my wife? The invitation from the school specified immediate family members, plus my wife isn't keen on America. She doesn't see why anyone will gamble with 64k just to try for US according to her dubai, South Africa and paris are all beautiful places to go to. I can't possibly give that as a valid reason if asked why I am going with dad and not wife.

2) mum has a valid US visa and she has traveled three times, should dad come along with her visa page ?
and what if they ask why is mum not going for the graduation ? Truth is, we ( my brother and I) felt it isn't right for mum to keep traveling without dad not traveling, so we plan this for dad basically and we can't afford to pay for dad and mum together. Dad is retired and above 67 by the way

3) When filling the form I clicked on self for dad when the option for who is financing the trip came up.. is that an issue? Considering that dad is retired

Lagos becomes the capital of naija for today. President and vice president both in Lagos. Why not have the National Assembly sit in Lagos today too

YankeeJJC:
your brother switched from F to LPR or he entered on B? Because it might fall under family ties, your father is going with you and u have a LPR brother over there. The VO will definitely ask about children . Moreover any travel experience?. I don't know how strong graduation is as purpose, concrete purpose overcome travel history. Your dad should be fine since Mum never misused her own.

His wife filed for him, so he went as an immigrant. He said his visa expired the day he landed in us he has a baby with his wife. I have been to UAE last year with my wife. And we have two kids now

cosade:
I think this where you lost it. You should have proudly give your official email address, the VO only wanted an assurance that you work with the bank you mentioned.

Your official email address is different from your company email address but would be same domain.

fadafada@cosade-bank.com

info@cosade-bank.com

Hmmm... I work in a oil servicing coy. We are into drilling and well completion . My salary is o.k.i can defend my job as I have been working for the past 4years..

But we no get company domain email oo!!
We had one time like two years ago, but can't remember what happened. I just mailed my boss now about the official mail and he said he will he will get back to me.

Is the official mail an issue now?

XtensionG:
I'm a silent reader of this blog, I went for my B1/B2 visa interview today and I was denied, actually I applied together will my mum and her visa was approved...i don't know why I was denied..i have a travel history.... I was denied by a black lady in window 5..and she said I should apply later alone because I am an adult...how soon can I apply again ?

Gurus, please I am still reading thru this section. I am 32, married, working. My elder brother is a green card holder. He will be having his graduation , may 11. And he invited dad and I. (mum has a valid US visa but she is indisposed and won't be making it. So she wasn't invited)

When I applied, I applied with dad cos we were invited together until I saw this. Are we supposed to have applied differently.? My dad is in his late 60's. Our appointment is for april
