You people's knack for documents sef. No documents are required...prepare for an oral interview...justify the need for your trip. Why vacation in the US? Why not UK, Dubai or other tourist locations in Nigeria and Africa? Convince the VO that you aren't a potential migrant...Dat's all... Transporter52:

No, the touts at the car park. Let me share my experience yesterday. The guy approached me immediately i alighted and asked if i had all the documents with me. I, of course, ignored him. He then became a nuisance and followed me about listing the documents...I'll quote him "you need the following documents, DS160 page, visa receipt, passport, 2 passport photos, coloured photocopies of DS160 and datapage of passport. It's coloured copies they are collecting o. Let them not send you back.". I knew the Consulate wasn't insisting on coloured photocopies...but i didn't make a copy of my datapage and that gave me a concern. So i asked him of the cost of making a photocopy...he replied "N1,000 for coloured and N700 for black and white per page". Since i was submitting for myself, wife and kids...i felt it was waste of money paying N4k for just 4 copies...He kept shouting "they will send you back o...you will have to get another appointment". I screamed back at him "back to sender"...lol Alas, no one asked for either coloured copies or even a copy of the datapage when i got in to submit....

Hi Nairalanders,
Been following this page, it's been indeed helpful for my B1/B2 visa interview, which held last friday. I have an issue, which I wish to know if anyone has encountered.
I was given a white paper, after my visa interview which i attended as a family with my Mum. The VO informed us that our application had been approved and we should expect to pick up the passport in abuja in a few days.
Subsequently i received an email with a notice to collect my mums Passport at DHL but did not get any notice email for mine.I decide to check the visa status of both mine and mum. Her visa status is ISSUED but mine says Administrative Processing, Last updated a day after the successful interview.
This is not my first US visa, but its the first time i have encountered this issue. Please, what does this mean? Does it mean the decision has changed from the Interview, Do I still have a chance? Or is it a denial?
For the interview, the transcript is as follows:
VO: Good morning and please pass me your passport .
Me/Mum: Good morning (Hands over docs).
VO: Takes Biometrics for Both of Us.
VO: I can see you are The Mum.
Mum: Yes sir.
VO: She is your Mum
Me: Yes Please,
VO: Where do you work
Me/Mum: I am a Civil Servant At the Central Bank, I work at The Bureau of Public Enterprise
VO: Do you have other children
Mum: Yes sir.I have 3 other children all in school. 2 in the USA and 1 in High School.
VO: what are you going to do in USA
Me: I intend to travel in the summer for a short holiday and to visit my 2 kids in the process.
VO: Begins typing for a few minutes (nodes, brings out a white paper ) your visa application is good to go and has been approved. We will send you a mail inq couple of days when to pick up your passport when visa is issued.
Me/Mum: Thank you sir. 2 Likes |

All looked good at the interview stage…give it a couple of days… I looked it up, by the way… “Administrative processing, also known as Security Advisory Opinion (SAO), is the time period during which visa applications undergo additional review outside of the “normal” visa processing times. Administrative processing takes place after the visa interview.“ pavoda:

From my little research, the VO ought to have informed you if AP will be required on your application. Since he/she didn’t, please be positively hopeful… “ Overview. Refusal under section 221(g) means that essential information is missing from an application or that an application requires additional administrative processing. The consular officer who interviews you will tell you at the end of your interview if your case is being refused under 221(g).” pavoda:

Lol yours was fair sef, when I went to drop my passport, the touts were insisting I make copies of all the documents. I didnt even try to respond, I just kept on walking. At the end of the day, none of the paper documents were collected. Just my passport and one passport photo. They only need to sight the paper documents to be sure you applied, you paid the visa fee and were scheduled to come drop your passport. Dampops:
