It's disgusting my brother.
I come to nairaland to read up happenings in Nigeria but it's only few,very few usernames that reasons like humans here.
Very aggressive,very insulting, so backward in reasoning and reality.
I go to one forum to discuss with people sometimes and I feel so down cos the level of maturity even from high scholars there are mind blowing.

Lots and lots of intelligent ones have long left nairn land. Some only view.
Read somewhere that we Nigerians have an average iq generally. We can see its reality on nairaland.

Very true

Dear VO,

I will be going to the States very soon, want to know if it's possible to apply for Canada Visa from the US as a non Immigrant.

Hello guys,

What is the validity period of Canada Tourist Visa is it two years like the States

Dear VO,

I will like to enquire how to add my family to my profile in order to book an appointment for them since I still have a valid B1/B2 visa.

I will be the one sponsoring them, what are the steps to follow.

Regards

VisaOfficer:


Good morning,

This sounds like a non-immigrant visa question (B1/B2 is a tourist visa). As noted before, moving forward, NIV questions will be deleted from the forum. Please direct your question to the forum on non-immigrant visas.

Regards,
VO

My apologies

Maybe, but Turkey or any Anti US country trip is a factor. Two of my colleagues were denied visa despite being sponsored by our company.

I have lived in conorado, Oceanside and national city.
That was when I visited Tijuana.

I have tons of pictures of my long drive from Milwaukee-Las Vegas-San Diego-Bakersfield.
I think I'm gonna create a thread and put up all the pictures.

How will you rate National City living in the area in terms of security.

Lucky u

CanadianNurse:
noted!!

Have you by any chance used the lagos international airport recently? How is the service? Do they still act like hustling touts? (I mean the customs and immigration etc)

Do they still do manual check in by opening your bags?

As recent as July11th, it was a breeze in, smiling and courteous officers. Machine was used.

babyfaiz:
I actually just joined nairaland so as to voice out my grievances or will i just say HUGE disappointment. This is my second time applying for US tourist visa within the space of 5 months. The first time I applied with my wife and daughter in the US embassy in Lagos. We were all denied without the consular checking any of our documents.

The reason for denial was quite understandable because I was very nervous after hearing all sorts about US visa interviews. I was almost stuttering at any question the consular put forward to me. On the other hand, my wife was very confident and she really spoke well (shame on me). Please note that I have never been denied visa before as this was my very first visa denial.

I have been to the UK several times, Dubai 3 times, have a schengen visa and I have also been to Turkey 3 times too. My answers in the first interview were not coherent at all. If I can figure out another reason for our denial besides my lack of confidence was that I told the consular that I am an electrical engr whereas I put graphics and interior design when i filled my ds160 form.

The reason is that I am actually an electrical engr and have worked as one in a renowned company, I stopped working as an electrical engineer and pursed another career in a passion of mine .. which is Graphics and interior design.

In my form, it was indicated there that I am graduate of electrical electronics and worked as an engineer for a year but I filled graphics and interior design as my primary occupation. I have been successful as an interior designer and I earn well too.

Now fast forward to my second interview which took place in Abuja, which i believe was more organized but not wot it in my opinion as there were a lot of visa denials and the interview didn't commence until after 3 hours of the scheduled time. Finally the die was cast after long hours of wait, listening to so many people faulter and few successful.

I was now gaining confidence when I found out that most applicant were fidgeting because they weren't confident in there english. Some couldn't even understand the consulars accent. It was really embarrassing watching them.

Now my turn and the interview went thus. where are u going to in the US.. I said Newyork city. Where in Newyork? Sumner place Brooklyn Newyork. Have u been denied before? Yes with my family. Why were u denied? I wouldn't know because the paper they gave me has a generic interpretation and does not address me as an individual? Why Newyork? Because thats like the Lagos of the US, its the commercial, fashion capital and i want to see some tourist attraction places in newyork, I will also take time to shop for my newborn. What do you do? I am a graphics and interior designer. I used to work as an Electrical engineer as I am graduate of elect engineering. How much do you earn monthly? I don't earn monthly because most of my works are contract based but I have been able to average 6 million naira annually in 4 years. how much is your trip going to cost you? I said one million naira because of my hotel acc, ticket and I am also taking time out to shop for my family and my new born. This time i was already broiling with confidence and he felt the sense that i was really prepared. He excused himself for one minute and at this time i was wondering maybe he wanted to ask someone something. I was just expecting him to ask me to present my documents but in his eyes I could see that he knew that I would have everything in place. So, he came back and said... sorry ur visa wont be granted, this paper will explain why. I was dazed, the other applicants were dazed too.

Immediately I came out they (other applicants) told me that they never saw my denial coming because I spoke really well and answered him confidently. I heard after me, he did not even give anybody. as all that came his way were denied.

I am now thinking what went wrong? I can't even place it so I am hoping someone who has experience can tell me what could have happened. is it whot it applying again because I am thinking of applying with my family again.

I also have a newborn. We are all well traveled to at least 4 countries except for the new born. The only relieve I have now is that I am as confident as ever because I believe those consulars can't even challenge me intellectually, they are just normal Americans who believe they are better than us, which is actually wrong.

I feel like I lost a battle to lesser person who couldn't rise to a challenge.

I am so vexed right now, that I am beginning to think..... will I ever visit the USA?

From your travel history, your journey to Turkey may be the reason for denial

I think the best approach to this is, to do due diligence before you jet out to another man's country, do not discard the warning the OP gave, do enough due diligence again I say due diligence.

Circadian rhythm


Considering the fact that I changed timezones, my brain (and body) is still trying to adjust to the time change. I find myself feeling sleepy when its night time in Nigeria. For the past two nights, each time i go to bed, i would just wake up abruptly around like 2:00am or so (which coincides with morning in Nigeria). I also feel hungry at odd times too,

my siblings have complained about the same thing though.

====================================

Most people whom i have contacted on social media and informed that I've left the country are being all friendly and nice all of a sudden, some of them are not very happy that I didnt inform them earlier though. Im yet to understand their displeasure, If i had told you, would you have given me money to pay for my flight ticket?

like I said earlier, Nigerians are hypocrites

You are one too as long as you are a Nigerian.
