A friend just ask me this question and I will love to throw it to the house, she's engaged, single, runs her own business earns about 190k per month according to what she said she filled in her form o, and also she put that she's being sponsored by her parents, well I didn't know what to say but will there be any red flag at all? |

gentleiphy:DS160 confirmation page and of course Int. Passport |
Re: Usa Visit Visa by LadyGuinivere: 8:48am On Jun 11, 2015 |
chloe7:Why would an independent woman be sponsored by her parents? Red Flag!!! |

Re: Usa Visit Visa by Nobody: 10:45am On Jun 11, 2015 |
LadyGuinivere:okay, so what scenario will be better? For her to sponsor herself? I'm thinking what she earns isn't so much, please correct me if i'm wrong So you think it will be better for her to say she is engaged, earns about 190k, and she wants to sponsor herself, she has been denied once two years ago, she has been to the uk twice, the vatican once and dubai once. |
Re: Usa Visit Visa by spykid014(f): 10:54am On Jun 11, 2015 |
chloe7: But who is truly sponsoring her? I think she should say the truth if she is sponsoring herself. Her SOA of account might not even be checked to see how much she has saved up at the moment. Btw, chloe7 you say 190k a month isn't much? ![]() |
Re: Usa Visit Visa by Nobody: 11:50am On Jun 11, 2015 |
spykid014:Well, that was what I told her, me I felt they always like to see big money inside account just incase they check, which means she most likely stands a chance if she applies to the US embassy innit? |
Re: Usa Visit Visa by LadyGuinivere: 11:59am On Jun 11, 2015 |
Chloe o! 190k no much? How many people are paid 190k monthly?! There are many things to consider o! For egs If I have earned 190k for 5 years I ought to have savings and it also shows I'm stabel. That's y they ask lenght of time worked. Also as a single girl , where I de spend ma money after dstv, and body cream and tp? All the above na for example I de give o! |

I WAS THE HAPPIEST MAN ON TUESDAY WHEN I WAS INTERVIEWED AND I WAS ASKED TO PICK UP MY PASSPORT ON FRIDAY.MANY WERE DENIED AND SOME WERE GIVEN,A NEW ELECTED GOVERNOR OF A STATE WAS THERE FOR HIS INTERVIEW TOO.I GIVE THANKS TO GOD AND TO EVERYONE THAT HAVE POSTED HERE,I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO LEARN ONE THING OR THE OTHER THAT HAS HELPED ME BUILD THE CONFIDENCE TO FACE THE VISA OFFICER.IT WAS RAINING DAY,I LEFT HOME PAST 7 AND MY INTERVIEW WAS FOR 11AM, HEAVY TRAFFIC FROM MY HOUSE AROUND AGEGE TO IKEJA,CONTINUED IN THE TRAFFIC TO IKORODU ROAD DOWN TO WESTERN AVENUE,IT CONTINUED TO APONGBON,I DIDNT HESITATE TO INCREASE MY SPEED FROM THERE TO VICTORIA ISLAND. IT WAS MY FIRST TIME OF ENTERING WALTER CARRINGTON STREET,I PARKED AT EXACTLY 10.03AM RIGHT AT THE ENTRANCE OF THE STREET DIDNT KNOW EXACTLY WHERE US EMBASSY IS LOCATED AND I HAD TO PAY 1,000 NAIRA FOR PARKING. I HAD TO WALK ABOUT 3 MINUTES TO GET TO THE EMBASSY WHERE THERE IS CAR PARK AVAILABLE,I WAS PRESSED AND WENT TO PEE AT THE WATER SIDE AREA AND IT WAS FUNNY THAT YOU HAVE TO PAY THE GUY BEFORE YOU CAN PEE OR DEFECATE,PEE 100 NAIRA AND THE OTHER 200.I PAID 100 NAIRA AND GOT BACK TO THE LINE. THEY WERE ATTENDING TO 10AM AND 10.30AM QUEUE BUT I JOIN THE LINE THAT HAS 10.30AM AND FOLLOWED BY 11AM APPOINTMENTS,A GIRL THAT HER APPOINTMENT WAS FOR 9AM WAS TOLD TO GO BACK AS THEY ARE DONE WITH 9AM APPOINTMENTS,SO PAINFUL FOR HER.YOU CAN IMAGINE THAT I FORGOT MINE WAS FOR 11 AND STILL ON THE LINE FOR 11.30 UNTIL I CHECKED AGAIN AND I QUICKLY JOINED THE 11AM LINE WHICH HAD ALREADY GOTTEN TO HALF WAY. THE GUARD THAT CHECKED ME SAID I HAVE TO DROP MY TOKEN THAT WAS ATTACHED TO MY CAR KEYS AS NO ELECTRONIC DEVICE OF SO EVER IS ALLOWED.SO I QUICKLY WENT BACK OUTSIDE TO REMOVE IT AND GAVE A POLICE MAN AT THE GATE TO HOLD FOR ME THAT I WILL COMPENSATE HIM WHEN I'M DONE. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU DONT STAPLE YOUR PASSPORT TO YOUR DS-160 FORM AS PEOPLE THAT DID THAT WERE ASKED TO REMOVE IT.I WENT TO THE DESK TO HAVE MY NAME CHECKED WITH THE APPOINTMENT TIME AND GOT SEATED. AFTER THE BATCHES BEFORE ME WAS CALLED INTO THE INTERVIEW AND BIOMETRICS AREA IT WAS OUR TURN AND WE GOT IN DID MY BIOMETRICS AND I JOINED THE INTERVIEW LINE AND WAS LOOKING THE WAY PEOPLE WERE INTERVIEWED AND WAS BREATHING IN AND BREATHING OUT TO EASE THE TENSION IN ME. NO BE SMALL THING AS NO ONE WANTS TO FAIL THIS BIG EXAMINATION.IT GOT TO MY TURN AND WENT TO THE VO OFFICER. 4 Likes |

scott509: Complete your story jor. With your full transcript. You took a risk oh! Your interview was for 11 am and you left home 7, all the way from agege, with Lagos traffic and rain? God save you! I was the embassy on Tuesday as well. My time was 7am. I left home 4.30. From Ajah axis. The normal car park is 500 naira. You dash dem extra for that other side. No biggie tho, as your waka ended in praise. Oya, full transcript biko! |

Re: Usa Visit Visa by 100dollarbills(m): 1:11pm On Jun 11, 2015 |
scott509: Congrats. Pls post ur full transcript. @ bolded....this was same thing that happened to Chloe7. However, I think it's high time American Consulate (lagos) toned down the insensitive, disrespectful and inhumane way of treating applicants. I would not generalize this because Abuja does not act like that. Abuja even listens better and allow you to present your case while conducting the interview proper. You can come into the Embassy in Abuja, get a tally and drop your electronic gadgets with the security guys unlike Lagos where you've got to "roger" the police guys minimum of N1k for dropping ordinary token.Ordinary security boys @ the consulate see theirselves as demi gods. They talk to you as if they were the VO ghanghan. Imagine! Everybody knows the traffic situation in Lagos. Well, on a lighter mood, let's see how these plays out,now that Baba is there...lols 2 Likes |

Re: Usa Visit Visa by bigfido: 4:48pm On Jun 11, 2015 |
if not that Abuja is over booked, it seems the best place to go to. i told you guys about me forgeting my passport in lagos and my interview was for 8am. i didn't get the passport until 11ish and got to the embassy at about to 12. i just told them what happened and they let me in. my visa was even approved. lagos sucks big time. meanwhile you can get etihad for less than 200k if you are travelling and returning before 1st of August. ![]() |

ekpotek: The embarrassing treatment in lagos should be dealt with.except the long waiting space on the other side of the road.No other arrangement for seating is available.You are expected to be in a single line and file. 2 years ago,you will be afforded somewhere to sit and get yourself together before the interview.No that has stopped. Abuja has a smaller interview area but the seating arrangement is okay and no funny lines or out of embassy arrangement. Naija must be dignified. |
