It is illegal to work in Dubai or the Emirates on a tourist visa, you can only search for job on it and return to your country while your potential employer process your work visa.

seyewest:

You mean you travel to Dubai on a tourist visa and was able to work with that visa?

seyewest:


Seconded and I'm not sure they will noticed your long stay in UAE, if you have a good reason for staying in UAE for that long please say so.

wuki:


If you have a valid and candid explanation for your relatively long stay in UAE, you should have no problem. Yes, be sure to let the VO know you have a job in the UK and will be relocating there soon; you're visiting the U.S for vacation pending when you can move to the UK. Say it in a way that assures the VO you will need to return to Nigeria to make necessary arrangements for your relocation to the UK. I however wouldn't mention to VO that there's a possibility of not using the visa if it is granted.

Hi, kudos to everyone here. U guys are doing an amazing job!

Pls i have few questions to ask in respect of the b1/b2 form:

1. I just completed my NYSC October last year and I am yet to secure a job. In the form, what will I fill my occupation? Is there a NIL option?

2. About the current, and previous employment, will I have to write about my NYSC ppa and my internship during my course of study as that is the only employment history I have.

3. My mum will be sponsoring my trip and she has a business of her own. Is there a total balance she must have withinin the last six month?

4. What is the next available appointment date I can get?
This will help me fill the itenary/ travel plans option

PS: my uncle invited me for the fall season and I will stay with him throughout the visit.

Thanks in advance for ur prompt response

You are a bad person. You are a liar, selfish and the same as every politician you curse out. Because, when presented with choices you and the corrupt politician do the exact same thing... say Fxxk you to everyone else and take care of only yourself. You will not flourish and I hope you and your family get deported.

Wajt:
@granmurdafucker, Thanks for the subtle comments though some sounded like u were mocking me but all the same thanks.
@oluayebenz, Thanks
Landed in Hartsfield ATL. All i was asked " why is your family still in the states" and i responded " We are battling with marital issues" she wanted some time away. I had an onward ticket,hotel reservation for Canada though. I just pack everything put for the guy desk and left him to go through them. I am not saying i am not in the wrong but some people on this thread can make Otedola feel like their house boy sha.

iyaaliya:
This is the reason why we have a lot of refusal transcripts on this forum. Just try your luck. Haven’t you noticed that the people who got visas recently come with sound transcripts? Those who prepared and already know what and what they want out of the interview?
We will say let me try my luck and we come back shouting US doesn’t want us in their country again. Like that poster who is a lecturer, has a kid and yet his mum is sponsoring him for an academic conference. Even the VO shook. Anyone who is going to be applying using luck; better not to apply!

TWoods:


Don’t waste your time and money.

tadetobi:
Pls gurus in the house a white female friend of mine is establishing an NGO programme and she wants to spons my travelling so i can come and work along with her as well live in the US. So pls what type of visa should i apply for.

Good morning, I went for interview on Monday and my visa got denied
Me: Good morning
Vo: No reply
Vo: your passport pls
Me: here is it
Vo: why are you going to US
Me: for conference on applied physics and mathematics
Vo: how many days is your conference
Me: 2days
Vo: where are you going in US
Me : I told him
Vo:i can I see your invitation letter with any other documents with you
Me: yes.. I gave him the invitation letter with my appointment letter and the recommendation letter from my school
Vo : who is paying for your trip
Me: my mum
Vo: your mum not the school or the organization
Me: yes my mom is going to pay for my trip
Vo: av u traveled out of the country for any conference
Me: no
Vo: are you married
Me: yes and am blessed with a son
Vo : Have you traveled out of this country before
Me: no
Vo: sorry you are not eligible and he returned my passport

Please what do you think I did wrong is it because I have not traveled out before or my mum is paying for my trip or because am young... Am 27yrs old.. I don't understand. Am a lecturer earning good salary. What should I do if I want to apply for another interview if I want to go for another conference

aye88:



This has actually been going on for a while now. When I attended my 221g interview earlier this year, I was asked questions from the very first Visa I got. I was even single then. This lady pulled up my transcript.

If you have no business in the US other than to go for vacation, pls kindly look for another country to do the vacation. There are so many beautiful western countries where you can enjoy your vacation. Lets give US a rest toll maybe next year after the elections. And that is if trump doesn't win. If he does, it's going to get tough.
I heard one of the reasons they stopped dropbox was because some Nigerians on b category Visa started living in us permanently. When it's time to renew their Visa, they will fill the application online and send their passport down to Nigeria from the US. Get the Visa renewed and DHL the passport back to them without leaving the us

Rolly22:


He told me is a contract marriage where he would pay $9000.

Rolly22:


That's what I'm going to do. Because my friend there said he wants to get married too. Does that mean when you marry over there you won't be an illegal Migrant again?

Rolly22:


Thank you very much, I have not paid him yet because my friend who is in the United States now introduced me to him and he used this same format and got his Visa and now working over there. But when the agent explained this to me I wasn't comfortable because I don't want any form of illegality and I don't want to travel Just to be having restless mind. He said I would be going there as a manager going to procure goods for our company. I'm not Just comfortable with it.

Rolly22:


Bros I'm having this same issues now I want to travel to the US but the agent is saying I would be going in as someone who is going to purchase goods from a company and I'm not comfortable with it.

It was pink slip day @ embassy in Lagos. I and my mom were denied. Perhaps 1 white in 20 pink slips today.
V. O good morning, why would you like to visit the US... I answered for holidays as I and my mom would love to travel during the Christmas season.
V. O where would you be going to.... California
V. O do you have any brother or sister you would be visiting?... Yes a brother
V. O is he a citizen? Yes
V. O how did he get his citizenship? (as soon as he said this I knew trouble don come)... He's married to an American
More typing (facials were not good from him. A few frowns, more furious typing, sighed a bit, more typing then stopped, looked @ my passport and my mom's, he asked how come no stamp on the last one, and I said it was returned back via Dropbox. He stamped it. Scanned some more and dropped them, back to typing).....
V. O Why did you stay in the US for 3 months?... I needed a long break from my masters as I just finished from the university of Ghana so I can be fresh to resume my work @ our business.
V. O what do you do?... I am an administrative supervisor @.......
(back to typing, not good facials again, and never asked my mom a single question)
V. O when was you last trip to the US? Last year for a month. We went to New York for holidays as well and saw......(more typing yet again and then)...sorry you do not qualify for a visa @ this time, have a nice day.

I smiled and thanked him. Mom, let's go I said.

I give God the glory in all disappointments so that's my story today.

Chukwuka16:
Permit me house to add to the growing debate surrounding this US visa issue.

The fact is that we Nigerians do not like people telling us the truth. Sincerely, I also battle at times with the truth. However, the truth is that Nigerians are abusers of systems. Everywhere you interact with some Nigerians in the “abroad”, you find out that they have thrived on abuse of the system – cutting corners, gaming the system, employing theatrics etc. The situation is even compounded in religious centres! However, we are mostly very short-sighted people who assume that the white-man is a fool. Unbeknown to us, these guys have a system in place that works best with information. During such lengthy periods when we embarrass ourselves and abuse the system, these guys are gathering sufficient data about us, our personality and modus operandi to enable them evolve a robust approach that can keep us firmly in check. This data is also useful in assisting them draft related policies on funding/assistance/aids, conflict resolution and rules of engagement.

Why should Nigerians come on visits in the abroad and end up as overstayers or even work or enjoy some form of benefits? There is no excuse (except health and threat to life) that should warrant that. It cost taxpayers money to maintain these facilities. It is Nigerians that will come to the abroad enter trains without paying and be moving from coach to coach to avoid the ticket master. It is Nigerians that will come to the abroad to give birth without planning adequately for the trip? What is my business that you are coming to the abroad, did I invite you? Go and rent a hotel and pay your bills? We carry our planless nature to the abroad and hope to inconvenience others simply because we are “Nigerians”? If I didn’t plan, I would be sleeping out on the streets.

Of course, people will come out and start screaming “is it not because you are there?” And so what? Did I spiral myself here?

Again, I still wonder what goes on in the minds of people when they apply for visas. How can you be earning 200k-500K/month and apply for a US visa to spend 2 weeks for vacation in New York for instance and you are self-sponsored in 2019!? Haba, fear God na. Let me break it down for you.

Visa fee: 58K
Flight (return): 400k
Accommodation (10 nights): 600k + 180k-200k (refundable caution deposit)
Feeding: 180k ($50/day) – could be more
Internal transport: 18k (assume bus all through) – could be more
Exchange conversion fees (from card swipes if you don’t have a US bank card): 4k
Total: 1,440,000 (with 180k refunded on check out). Conservatively estimated.

This means that you want to spend 3-7 months’ salary for just 2 weeks’ vacation and expect the VO to be convinced? What about your rent, feeding, mobility, clothing, health insurance, car and vehicle insurance and leisure when you return to Nigeria?

See, in times past (before, before), it wouldn’t mean anything saving up for that, but hey times have changed. If that money isn’t a fraction of your month’s salary or 2 months, the VO will need a lot of reassurances or evidence of strong ties in Nigeria before granting that visa (especially when self-funded).

Again, those methods of using conferences/workshops to travel to the USA don cast. In fact, recently our lab was advised to send its delegates to the London version of a workshop rather than wasting resources travelling to the US. I couldn’t laugh. The organisers didn’t want to offer academic rebate. This was a legitimate workshop integral to a current project and timeous considering our timetable. However, a couple of the delegates were Nigerians and so the usual.

See, time for travel will come. It may take time, but if we continue with our current attitude, things go spoil so tey e go hard to repair. The hustle is real, I know, but we are the very cause of the current problems. If we are not careful, our case go be like China where their citizens are always put on administrative processing that can take as long as 60 days! My Chinese colleagues at work are not finding this funny.

When next people come online and talk about how they gamed the system in the abroad and you support them or rationalise their actions, just remember that the consequences are simply front-loaded and will be dire. Next time call them out. Embarrass them, shame them. You don’t have to report them but let them know that they are a SHAME and avoid them. If we don’t start calling out these disgraceful humans spoiling our reputation in the abroad, they will continue to make travel possibilities difficult for you and I.
