@megastu I don’t understand, what’s the difference in me staying in my house in lekki , and me in another country, we applied as a family one member is supposed to drop for the family , did they say I have to be on Nigeria soil ?

megastu:


So you mean you are not in Nigeria and you sent your international passport for U.S to place a visa on? Unbelievable.
This is one of the reasons they stopped DHL from receiving documents and want the Nigeria staff at the consulate to do the initial processing. Because of people like you they will soon insist that no one should submit any passport for another.
Just pray they don’t detect your absence from Nigeria.

Mamajt:
no I didn’t , my husband took it to Lagos and submitted for both Of us

Mamajt:
how is it one of the reasons they stopped dhl submitition , did they tell you that

Let me share my experience at the consulate this afternoon while i took my son for his scheduled fingerprint collection. I witnessed the interviews of over 15 applicants...all of them were not new travellers. As at when i left, only 3 of them were granted, one elderly couple was put on AP; the others were refused....frequent travelers o
They queried those of them that stayed for over one month in the US on a trip (you can't lie anyway, as i94 portal will expose you). The questions ranged from: why did you stay that long? What were you doing to survive/sustain yourself in the US? How much did you spend if you stayed in a hotel? What do you do in Nigeria that allowed you to be away for that long? How were you moving around? etc...
The couple that was put on AP have a registered business in the US and mentioned that they need to travel to check their business as its Business Manager died last year (the yeye Consular Officer even empathized with them o...yet still didn't approve their application)...

For people intending to go for vacation and are preparing for an interview, please be prepared for likely questions. May we all find favour...

I was trying to be civil because I didnt know the laws regarding proxy application and cross border movement of passport document without the authorized holder but all I will say now is that Nigerians are not good people. They go to any length to satisfy their individual agenda. It was also because of the attitude of some nigerians that dropbox was suspended. This is even a pilot project . At the end they'll make a decision on whether they want to continue with dropbox program or not

Theosodom2ky:


Your international passport is not supposed to cross into and out of any country without your possession unless sent directly by the Nigerian embassy. They will be wondering why you are not applying from Qatar. I’m sure it’s something you can explain. Stop worrying over this thing so you don’t get no. When u get ur passport you handle it

the appointment letter. After validating the payment it would tell me no appointment available. I answered the questionnaire and we qualify for a Dropbox because the visa is within the 24months stated

practicalclass:
I have submitted all these documents except the MRV receipt and DS 160 (they should have those by default). I even got a letter from my gynecologist for the some purpose of EA. I wander if its because it is Lagos.
Would you advise switching to Abuja for interview and trying to request EA?

We need to learn to do better as a people.
Always trying to be ahead of a system blows back on everyone else.

whiteMandingo:


IS this actually wrong?. the US would or should have specified that all IW persons should come in person...if thats the case

edit: other posts have now shed light on the issue......didnt know it was that grievious a crime to send passports across borders

MaryAndrews:
Please people that submitted their IW applications last week Wednesday February 16th, how far? Any update?
