approved b1/b2. Lagos embassy. and i have to say, I couldn't have done it without this thread.

vo: where are you going to?
me: university name, town, state
vo; what are you going for?
me: i was invited to present a paper at 'university name' at 'conference name'
vo: whats that?
me; i explained the conference in more detail
vo; how long are you going for?
me: 6 days
vo: have you left nigeria before?
me: yes, been to a few countries in europe. spain, netherlands, italy. ive been across africa, morocco, mauritius, etc. I love to travel
vo: what do you do?
me; i work as a consultant on XYZ project
vo: how much do you earn
me; 850k a month
vo: are you married?
me: no
vo: any kids?
me: no
vo: tell me about your paper
me: i ramble for about 30 seconds. (he is nodding his head as if its enough abeg)
vo: i'm going to approve your visa.... (hands over pink slip)

observations/advice:
1. i wasn't asked for any documents. in my application as I was going for a conference, i selected only B1 ( i got that tip from here)
2. i prepared my questions and answers and rehearsed (nairaland tip). even yesterday i read the thread and saw a lady answered her question immediately with the name of the course, venue, state. so i updated my answers so my response will be concise (another tip from here)
3. i didnt hesitate with my answers (the benefit of rehearsing) . too many people were saying 'ehn?', meanwhile me far away could hear the questions
3. don't ramble. be confident. don't lie on your application. i've been refused over 10yrs ago and even though i didnt do biometrics, I mentioned it. (nairaland tip) LIES WILL MAKE YOU NERVOUS.
4. don't engage in chatchat with people. all that 'naija is bad/they arent giving visa's etc etc. it ruins your energy. be silent and focus on why you are there (my personal advice)
5. they were approving and refusing people. the vo i met refused a lady for student visa because the course date was in the past. he advised her to get a new i20 from the uni. he refused a mama who couldn't explain what she did there her last visit for 2mths. they aren't demons. they have their reasons for either refusals or approvals.

Good luck to all. I hope this helps.

Your academic achievements and rich travel history clinched it for you.
Moreso,you were confident and presented yourself well.

Congratulations.

Thanks seyewest.... you sure pass. I appreciate the good deal of a ticket you got me. I flew B.A from Lagos to London and American Airline from london to NC through your assistance. Wouldn't have been able to get such deals without you. Though haven't met with you before but I trusted you enough to send cash to you for my ticket, and you didn't disappoint a bit.

Just to answer some of your questions.I planned to visit my step dad,that's why they asked what my parents do.He also asked why mum was living in a different country.The major reason for refusal they gave was ties to my home country.I want to reapply within the year though.I just need to make a lot of changes.

ayobj:


Brother i am sorry o

How old are you?
why are they asking about your parents.
I have attended many US visa interviews.They never asked about my parents?
where do you parents stay?in the states

abzz889:
Hi Everyone.This is my transcript from the Lagos consulate.Bear in mind I have had visas consecutively since 1996.

My transcript at the Lagos consulate:
VO:Good morning,How are you?
Me:Good morning hands passport
VO:What state are you going to
Me:Maryland
VO:What are you going to do
Me:Vacation and to visit family
VO:What do you do
Me:I tell him
VO:Are you married with kids
Me:I tell him
VO:What do your parents do
Me:I tell him
VO:Sorry you’re not illegible at this time

I only saw them give visas to old people.I wonder what I did wrong.

kenseT:
I have been to the US twice and the most recent being Dec 2019. And on each visit,i did not spend more than 12 days.
Reason for the proposed multiple trips does not have a strong base. I mean it is just to catch the endless fun in that country.
I work,i am a business owner and my business is the kind that wont let me be away for too long.

ayobj:
Got my visa renewal just now with madam also.

Yipee

Hallelujah.Only God deserves the praise

We Have Asked A Doctor But They Either Tell Us To Eat Wheat Or Eat Eba In Small Quantity, Anytime He Tries The Eba His Blood Sugar Skyrockets.

So I Thought Maybe Any Experience Person Here Might Help Out.

llcn1422:
Good day everyone. I want to visit America genuinely as a visitor. I am a Medical Doctor. Does my profession weigh in my favor? Is this an advantage for me in the eyes of the consular? I know that no one knows the answer for sure but I need opinions.

fantastical:
Please, don't get me wrong! I'm not planning to run away. And I want to do everything legally.
The question is, WHAT TYPE OF VISA DO I APPLY FOR since I cannot work with visiting Visa?

Annie26:
Good morning family
I have only been to the UK and Ghana. I studied in UK and last traveled 2016. Throughout 2017, I was in lawschool. 2018- NYSC/ and part time working with my Dad's company. 26, female and single.

Currently I still work for my Dad's company full time. But d pay is 50k.
I would like to visit my aunt in d US with my dad as my sponsor because I haven't started earning a lot and can't sponsor my self.
Secondly, my dad does not mind being my sponsor but I am still worried.

Having same company as Employer and Sponsor might pose a challenge especially when we share same surname.

Plse I need advice.


Secondly, plse what is the available date now in Abuja?

ijeshaoflondon:


That's what she did in the second application ... She submitted her companys account and savings account, letter from bank and companys receipts, Ltd business ess registration and confirmed hotel reservation ... She explained in her cover letter that her income varies that she's not a salary earner... The ECo assumed she submitted the companys account to support her application but she said she only submitted the account just to show the source of all proceeds being paid into her account ...since she is the business owner . NOW HER FRIEND IS READY TO INVITE HER... Can she go ahead or she should use hotel reservation since she claimed not knowing anyone in the UK in her previous application

Teewai98:

Well I did apply again through administrativery review stating this yet it was denied

BrownCarton:

Pls Sir... What do you reckon?.. Just reapply? Or explain in the cover letter?
