Pamcrest:Also, even if u are on transit in the US, you'd still need to clear customs and immigration; unlike some other countries. 2 Likes |

Tunagee: I would still say the US infrastructure, justice system, is still superior to what obtains in Nigeria. There is little basis of comparison there. However, the US is not the economic eldorado it once was. 100s of Americans are yearly renouncing their US citizenship, including Facebook co-founder, Sergei Brin. 1 Like |

otiigba1:Don't mind them. They're just being overly security conscious in the post 9-11 world. In the UAE, you don't need to go thru immigration. |

ferdiii: Read again: He did not mention transit visa. All Delta Airline flights transit in Atlanta, so he must have had the opportunity to walk around the transit area before boarding the Canada leg. |

If it's any comfort to us, it is also rumoured that getting Nigerian visa is very difficult for foreigners. Our own consular offices carry the Nigerian i-don't-care attitude with them and nothing gets done at the right time. If the other countries revenge against us, then know that we will be sleeping for days in places like Walter Carrington |

Well! My own US embassy experience was quite funny, it was in year 2001. I wanted to travel with my big bro, my visa was denied and my birth certificate seized because they concluded I wasn't going to return if I go. I tried 4 more tyms within 2 yrs making all 5 times all together. Since then I just fashi them and I tried Canada visa once and it was granted. My mistake then now dawned on me that I was too anxious and fidgeting like my whole world depend on it. But anyways I have been in and out of Canada and I realized no big deal about these western countries but if u have never travelled before it can be a serious aspiration though. My little advice ! Pls do not attempt to travel to d US or any other developed countries if u do not have anybody to help u with initial accomodation and stuff. If not nah one chance be dat. 3 Likes |

@Boss13 please don't be too sure of things you say. I just got my tourist visa and I filled the visa form at about 20 minutes before I went to the embassy for my interview. So when do you suppose secuirity checks were carried out at my bank and office? My mom also filled hers the morning of her interview and she got hers too and she is a pensioner. So pls dont mislead people. 3 Likes |

Not all carry red passports. State Security Service officials, medical personnel, State House correspondence (journos) do not carry red passport. And they need visa. justwise: 2 Likes |

dotman2460: Not always, some countries allow visa free entry to diplomatic passport holders. Even when they do you will never see them queuing for visa or attending visa interview because somebody in the ministry will deal with all that. |
Re: Funny Experience At The Us Embassy Lagos by dotman2460: 10:57am On Nov 07, 2014 |
Sure. Most, if not all diplomatic passport holder do not require a visa before they travel. But ALL official passport holders require one. justwise: 1 Like 1 Share |
