The VO did not buy your conference. How is this tied to your job? Why would your employer spend money to send you to attend an expo? Those things need to be clear.

Hello house. I went for my visa interview today but was denied again. I was also denied last year
Here's the transcript;
Vo: passport
Vo: why are you going to the us
Me: to attend a conference and expo organized by an association i belong to, it's called ABCD. As i was trying give the full meaning of ABCD, she cuts in?
Vo: where's the venue of the conference
Me: cleveland ohio
Vo: who's paying for the conference
Me: my employers
Vo: have you been out of your country before
Me: was in ghana with my wife during our honey moon, but thats been a while. It's on my expired passport wanted to show her, but she cuts in and said i shouldn't worry.
Vo: how long will you be staying in the us
Me: seven days
Vo:Are you married
Me: Yes
Vo: how many kids
Me: two
Vo: kept on typing and finally handed over the yellow paper. She said im not eligible for visa at this time, that i should try again later

From what i saw today, they denied 90-95% of the people that had the 10.30-12.30 appointment today.
I feel it was strongly based on no previous travel history.
Last year i was nervous and wasn't fully prepared. But this time i was so confident and ready for them. They didn't even ask why i was going for the conference or what the association does or what i or my employers stand to gain.

.... Pros in the house, E bawa da si

Hello house. I was denied b1/b2 visa today.
Here's the transcript;
Vo: Good morning, passport pls.
Me; i handed it over
Vo: tell me about the conference
Me: i stuttered out of nervousness for the first few seconds of my speech, eventually i made my point (he was nodding his head as i was speaking)
Vo: have you traveled out of the country before
Me: yes to Ghana with my wife for our honeymoon.
Vo: are you married
Me; yes with two kids
Vo: do u have any immediate relative in the Us
Me: No
Vo: typing
Me: broke the silence and told him where i work and what i do( although he didn't ask me)
Vo; continues typing and finally handed me the blue paper.

What i feel i did wrong:
1.The ghana trip was on my expired passport and i didn't tell him. I noticed he flipped through my passport
2. I actually have an aunt in the us, whom my dad visited last year, but cos of fear, i said i didn't have any immediate relative in the us moreso my conference is in california while she stays in texas.
Pls all the professionals in the house, where do u think i missed it and whats the way forward for me. Thanks

It goes in two ways; Having two or more relatives who went to the US illegally and found there way around the system may be seen as a red flag by the VO

xwhyz:
Well said. He regaled the vo with his work duties. Maybe he should read proverbs 18 v 13. Also i see no big deal in disclosing his relationship with the aunt if there is no ulterior motive.

zinkotop:
Thanks

abnot:
Red Flags Sir. Stammering, answering to questions you weren't asked, lack of composure, lack of travel history and looking desperate. Ghana doesn't count as a travel history. Wait a year and reapply. If you can play around visit may be attend a conference in a first world country

femicyrus:
learn how to cook yourself. that lady is just nice seeing you eating junks. you got it all wrong thinking she is interested in you. you will be very lucky to have such a woman as a wife in future. wife material are going extinct. if you tell her to stop politely she won't be offended. you are the one to lose real food for junks. I have a feeling she is married and she is no longer used to cooking for her mouth alone

Apina:
Have u even thought about giving her a chance?
What if the babe u are eyeing doesn't feel the same way about u? Do not mind those telling u to not give a damn about her feelings, even if u don't end up dating her, remember life doesn't come to an end after service, u never know where ur paths might cross later on, diplomacy is very important.

funmisticqueen:
tell her that the food she brings gives you diaarhoea, then repeat it each time she brings a plate

Horlohlah:
Then tell her upfront. You can't keep displeasing yourself to please someone else.

Horlohlah:
You sef ehn. Be finding excuses for her and nit tell her straight. It's like you are enjoying it stylishly sef.

QuietHammer:
She knows I don't have one. I know she'll feel very bad if I tell her to stop. She does it with a passion.

9jvirgin:
I wonder if these senators are worthy of managing a nursery school talk less of managing a whole nation. How can the decisions regarding to people's lives and well being be left in the hands of these people?

Dear Nairalanders, please help this young lady find her family.

She used to be seen as a mentally deranged person in the area. Wherever she went, it ended in beatings or being driven away. Rains and the scourging sun always dealt a big blow to her. But on Friday, 22nd of September, 2017, she helplessly walked into our church (RCCG Grace & Victory Area HQ in Itori, Ewekoro LGA, Ogun State) during a vigil and right there, the God of Elijah touched her life miraculously and she confessed: "oh thank God! Now I can talk".

After the vigil, we went up close to her and at each attempt of answering our questions, she'd cry and lament on how her life has turned out. But thanks be to God, we've been trying our best to cater for her since then like feeding, bathing and changing her clothes, and we were able to find out a few details.

Her name is Mariam and from our keen observations, it appears she was a victim of ritualists who weren't successful in their bid to use her. She's terribly sick, has a deep wound on her leg and can't talk properly because of sore throat. Surprisingly, she speaks English language quite well which shows she's educated. After a while, we discovered she also speaks Hausa but shockingly, she asked us if she's in Nigeria, which is a testament to her previous statement that she has been walking aimlessly for a long time and she senses "they" must've been looking for her.

She cannot really recollect her past. She appreciates we're trying and though it isn't easy, we wouldn't want her to be sent back to the streets. We've notified the police, kabiyesi, local government and the community leaders. But we would still appreciate help from others as well. Please, if you can or if you know any NGO or anybody that can assist us further in terms of Medicare and other ways, kindly comment below.

Please SHARE to help her find her family. Thank you.

Not anymore.
Gone are the days when ladies cook like their mothers.

They now drink like their fathers.

You all should stop criticizing the op and assist him if you have any leads...What he is trying to say is that he needs a job badly.If only I was in Nigeria I would have done something to assist him,he sounds sincere to me.

xxxoladevoxxx:
I think this is the best answer here and also a message to other Job applicants. And why do people still blame the government for lack of Job. You go thru 4 or 5yrs in a University just to wait for government? Im beginning to think Nigerians get creative when they want to do something illegal. Otherwise, get creative and get urself a job, arleast u went to school what bout those that didnt

Midehi:
so she dont know her DOB that she embark on market, people can take risk sha...welcome baby, your name shall be what now?

luckynzo:
Op. It sure is. But don't do it. She probably has STD and is looking for who to infect.

ohaleoghene:

I'm hurt .

If you was dumb enough to have unprotected sex when you are not ready for a child yet then your stupidity is beyond measure. My only advice is to stop wasting time thinking so much and go look for any kind of work for that matter even if you have to clean shoes. You are going to be a father congrats in advance. When you was hitting it raw and enjoying yourself, you didn't think about this day abi? When you was c..umming in her, you had no idea there was a thing call,pregnancy right? And the morning after you and your dumb gf couldn't think of a thing call "the morning after pill" ni? Well you see God give us a brain for a reason, if you can't think and make logical decisions you will be left to face the consequences.

Welcome to the real world.
