Teeboy22: Business/Tourist Visa (B-1/B-2) is for people traveling to the United States temporarily for business (B-1) or for pleasure or medical treatment (B-2).
Generally, the B-1 visa is for travelers consulting with business associates, attending scientific, educational, professional or business conventions/conferences, settling an estate or negotiating contracts.
The B-2 visa is for travel that is recreational in nature, including tourism, visits with friends or relatives, medical treatment and activities of a fraternal, social or service nature. Often, the B-1 and B-2 visas are combined and issued as one visa: the B-1/B-2.
Note: Consular officers would really like to see that applicants are honest.
TIPS
*Wear a clean and neat cloth you are comfortable in, no preference for formal or casual attire.
*Your appearance should convey who you are. If you are a student, you should look like a student. If you are an executive, you should look like an executive.
*Your body language should convey friendliness.
*Arrive earlyGreet the Visa Officer with a smile and a "good morning".
*Be confident! Do not get nervous. Smile when you meet the visa officer for the first time.
*Don't show signs of nervousness such as flickering of eyes or trembling of fingers.
*Have and maintain a confident posture throughout the interview.
*Be confident in your answers! Make short, clear, to-the-point replies, in a clear voice.
*Do not say anything that is irrelevant or not asked.
*Be polite, do not argue and do not ask unnecessary or unrelated questions.
*Often times you might not understand what the interviewing officer is saying because of his/her accent and/or the microphone system. If you do not understand one of their sentences do not feel afraid to say, 'beg your pardon; I did not understand you.' If he/she repeats the question and you still do not understand, that is not a problem, do not panic. Calmly and confidently say, 'sorry sir/madam. I still did not understand you. Could you kindly repeat what you said?'
*Do not give an answer immediately without thinking through it.
*Be honest during the interview and while preparing the documents.
*For every question asked, when you are saying your answer, you should be prepared to simultaneously put forth a document supporting your answer, and refer to the document in your answer.
*Mind your manners and refrain from unnecessary body movement.
*Remember, the consular officer is not your enemy, he is just doing his duty
Additionally research more about the following
*who is inviting you to the US or the event you are attending
*destination in US and how you wish to spend your time
If the Consular Officer did not look at your documents Many people complain that the visa officer did not even ask any questions nor looked at any documents and rejected their application which is not fair at all. Visa officers are experts in their profession and they are appointed in consulates in foreign countries after extensive training. Due to their vast experience and training, visa officers can figure out true intentions of applicants just by looking at them. They can even figure out whether information provided in the application and/or documents may be true or fake. They don't need to talk to applicants in many cases.
Goodluck!

@op its my first time... And I'm curious, is the interview just between and the VO or everyone will be present, cos u made mention of a microphone Between you and the VO but the microphone system will be quite audible such that those in the queue, either sitting or standing, would be able to hear what you and the VO are saying. This, I think, is for a fair interview for everyone, to eliminate talks of bias or favouritism against some people. 3 Likes |

America is very sweet if you have the money to spend and you genuinely want to return back to Nigeria. You are welcome. If you are nursing the ambition of hanging around to work or squat with someone, be ready to suffer and you go know say "khaki no be leather" . I have cried more times in My Adult life living in America than all my childhood year's from infancy.
If you don't have anyone here who is interested in supporting you, it is very easy for one to run mad here than in Ejigbo, Lagos.
But truth is, when and if things normalize, life is indeed sweet living in America, making money and living life. I won't trade living in America with any of the 17 countries I have visited so far in my life. I just want you all to manage your expectations. Even family members that tell you to come, when you finally get here, they will start giving you bul l sh. yt that you won't know what hit you.
I have seen, read about and heard it happen from New York to Los Angeles, Miami to Seattle. That Uncle or Aunt or brother or sister that left 5 to 20 years ago is not the same person you use to know. He is so Americanized now that he is watching his or her money than trying to please you.
Here in America, people only care about their nuclear families and NOT extended families, period!
It is common to see new intending immigrants being put in the street by their family member they knew back home in Nigeria.
Those that will keep u in their house are trying to use u as house girl or domestic servant. If you start asking question's about the way forward for your life, then you will know the person that was put in the street is probably better than you, who was deceived and fed but wasted your time.
For instance, I have seen countless taxi drivers with B.Sc Msc and recently one with a Ph.D from Nigeria in America. Hmmm, after spending 10 to 15 years to bam here, crying if they knew what life will give them in America, they would have stated back home.
One was telling me when I travelled to Atlanta on a business conference that "My brother, na word wey I no hear make my life condemn like this so"
He said he made a 2.1 in Accounting from UNILAG and after NYSC in 1995, he left for yank, 20 years down the road, no Green Card, no wife at home, 2 kids from 2 American women and he is paying child support big time. He drives a cab about 14 to 16 hours a day, 6 days a week to pay mountain of bills on his head.
He can't go home to naija because if he abandons the kids and leaves, he will be arrested and sent to jail whenever he returns to the USA. (Right at the airport).that is if he gets his green card today, he has a huge liability on his neck as kids ..... he concluded that 2 guys who graduated in his sect are managers now at CBN, and that anytime they visit Atlanta, he hides when he sees them because he is ashamed to let them know he drives cab for a living. He even said none of these two guys made 2.1, they both made 2.2. I almost cried for him.
They are married, they have built houses in naija, have their MBA from Unilag, and life is good for them, they travel all over the world and here he is, on economic exile, driving away his life in Atlanta and eating burgers and fries every other hour, with no family to call his own.... he lost his parents, he couldn't go to their funeral in naija.
so think deeply guys, before you make your moves!
America is not heaven, there are beggars and homeless people everywhere who will kill to steal your $50 from your wallet. But it is good to see for yourself so you can understand. Y'all are welcome to Yankee land! 9 Likes 1 Share |

Awaiting your response.
Thanks. |
Re: • • •Tips On Getting A US VISA by uyemhe: 6:16pm On Aug 06, 2016 |
Thanks for these helpful tips. Can anyone provide advice for me here please? I'm trying to help my mom secure tourist visa to come visit me. Besides appointment confirmation, passport, DS-160 application form, passport photo, and GT Bank receipt...what other documentation can I show? I can think of bank statement, and letter of invitation, but anything else? Also, she's a widow and all her kids are here in the US, but I feel the officer might think she is trying to run away. How do we convince them that she will come back? Appreciate your help, thank you |
