ahahahha, Scratch card ke for US Embassy, I dey laugh oooo, All the interview no dey psss 3 mins bro, Since you know your result scores and everything then go collect the certificate again or go do another one urself but let it be tally, you just need to prove yourself on one job you know much about it, because alot question going to base on it and also your salaries too,

Who say them nor dey ask for Scratch card? And who says the interview is 3 mins? Every case differs. The fact say you spend 3 mins nor mean say na 3 mins them go spend on next applicant. They may choose to spend 1 or even 10 mins. Every body case different.

My advice carry anything wey go prove your result

@HOUSE: am going for a Masters, 30 years. I am thinking of how to show ties to nigeria. aBEG, i need suggestions. I don't currently work but I can claim to work and take along some ID Card. Will this help?


Also, I did my WAEC since 1998. Will this not generate questions? I misplaced the WAEC Certificate, but it can be confirmed by SCRATCH CARD. So, I am taking along a Scratch Card. Is this okay? Abeg, reply quickly.

Thanks guys for all your responses. However, I think you may have misunderstood the kind of US visa I want to apply for - It's a holiday (B2) visa not a student one. I hope to visit for a few days at some point this year whilst on annual leave.

@imperiouxx: I don't think applying in 9ja is a good option. How can I present parents' properties as strong ties to 9ja when I've not been for a while (about 3 years now)?

@ phy,adolite and abats4naija: thanks for your responses. I'll give it a shot at the London embassy and see what comes out of it.



Thanks All.

  Lamentation?? Are you kidding us? So,you will make thousands of dollars within the few weeks and start living fine ? You should have just advised NL's coming here to bring enough money to survive for atleast a year instead of saying what is not. Saying this because nobody should expect an Angel to come dash him/her money when here. In AMERICA, you are[b] ON YOUR OWN.[/b]

Went for my interview in lagos yesterday and it was quite a painful experience for me,

Couldn't print my sevis receipt online before my interview, but payment was already made.

My appointment was for 7a.m got to the consulate around 6:15 / 6:20 a.m. Was called in for the regualar checks and all, behold, my visa application receipt wasn't with me, was given 90 Mins to go get it. Dashed home like a mad dog, had to even take a bike back to the consulate to avoid running out of 90 Mins. I understand they do interview just one set on Fridays, nothing like 10a.m apptment. Made it there before the 90Mins elapsed. Was part of the last 10 to be interviewed.My tally number was 127 that last person's number was 134.

You just misinformed. Washington doesn't deal with non-immigrant visas: it is at the discretion of the consular section of their local embassy . Little knowledge is dangerous and a student worthy of their salt should always research very well before posting.

Goodluck!
