chloe7: On the US Visa appointment site for Nigeria they usually quote Naira-Dollar exchange rate used by the embassy at the moment. It usually has a time frame, maybe that's what he saw.... |

hello all, I'm going on a training with 2 of my colleagues...one already has a US visa. the question...Are you traveling as part of a group or organization? When I say yes it just brings up a place to type the name of the organization, if I put no it brings up a place to list the names of the people going with me and their relationship to me. Please what do u advise I say...yes or no? and is it advantageous to say ur traveling with other people? thanks alot. |

I just had to come on here to thank you all for the good job you are doing. So traveling to the US for vacation was one of my goals for the year, on the 29th of January I decided to give it a shot by applying for a B1/B2 visa. My interview was today, here's a transcript of my interview. VO: Good morning ME: Good morning VO: Please hold on I'm typing something ME: No problem(in yankee accent o ) VO: I'll have to take your finger prints. Could you please place your fingers on the machine ME: Left or right ? VO: Right first Me: *placing fingers* 4 fingers right ? VO: Yes VO: Your right VO: Now both thumbs (looks at his computer) VO: So why are you going to the US Me: ( serious face ) I'm going on a vacation VO: Where in the US are you going to ? Me: I'm going to Los Angeles California VO; ( was in the process of saying something ) Me: ( in my mind to the VO *shut up I'm still talking* ) Me; And I'll be going to **** (a bbal team stadium) in **** (another city in CA) (to watch a bball game btw the *** vs the ***. VO; Wow really ? ( he really showed interest) Me: Yes VO: Haven't they been the *** in the league this season ? ( smiling and being friendly ) Me: Yes (smiling) VO: But how can you get a ticket for such a game ? it's going to be very expensive ! Me: (Taa keep quiet there) I have the **** app on my phone to purchase tickets. The tickets are still available for $*** VO Starts typing very fast ) So what do you do for work ? Me: I own my own business, I'm into the production and sales of home and office **** and also into the sales and installation of *** VO: ( Kept typing ) So you make and sell your own *** ? Me: Yes I do VO: What of the *** ( the stuff I sell and install ) do you import or what ? Me: ( I don read nairaland, import ko import ni ) No, I buy LOCALLY at MUSHIN market ( I bet people must have looked at my direction cos of how I shouted the MUSHIN) VO; ( Still typing ) Ooh ok .. ( still in a friendly manner ) So you know I used to be into building in the past .. How much do you sell yours per square meter ? Me: Cost price or with profit ? VO: I mean with profit Me: **** naira VO; Without profit ? Me: **** naira At this point he was still typing, smiling and being friendly VO: Oooh that's good, it's cool Me: ( talk fast lemme know ) Vo: ( grabs slip still smiling) But seriously those tickets are going to be expensive or not available. Me: Yeah, the price keeps rising so the sooner I buy the better. Vo: True true true ... congratulations ..... ( at that moment I went partially deaf and kept nodding my head while he kept talking, I regained hearing when I stretched for my passport and he said ) no we have to issue your visa on your passport, you are to pick up your passport in ( went deaf again and kept nodding, passes slip) Me: Thanks ( and was about leaving) VO: (really smiling ) So which is your team ? Me: ( also smiling ) I mentioned the host bball team best player's name in a loud voice ) that's who I want to see !! VO: yeah yeah yeah .. Me: Bounced away with full swag in my native attire. Sight and Sounds Men, they denied people oo. There was this couple that said they were going for their honeymoon. Guess they said they got married last year, they both seem to have good jobs, well dressed and good appearance. The VO was questioning them laughing with them and typing, they were all laughing. I was like these ones don collect white slip, oh boy, in the midst of their laughter the VO just brought out blue slip, the husband just quickly put the blue slip in his file as the smile faded. It shook us and people around me started murmuring "these ppl are not giving today o" There was this woman and like her 5 or 6 year old daughter, when the VO said I'm sorry blah blah and gave the mom the blue slip her cute daughter started shouting "mommy what are we going to do now, mommy what are we going to do" people just started laughing, the mom didn't even answer her and they kept walking while she kept asking. So I read some people advised applicants on here not to mention the word "conference". A young boy did, he defended himself, he was given. There was this family of 4, dad, mom and two young boys maybe 6 and 8 year old. Immediately they approached the VO he greeted all of them, they smiled and surprisingly he started interviewing the kids like "hey, how are you" boy said fiiiiine VO then said " who's this man to you " the boy said "daddy" VO then pointed to their mom and asked kid again "that's your sister, right ?" Kid said noooooo that's my mommy. They all smiled and defended themselves, they got their visas. I got my motivation through this forum to be honest though a lot of people around my circle visit the US regularly. I went there, told the truth and was given. You just have to be confident and have an interaction with the VO, let he/she know you are not there for BS. Oooh I almost forgot, I'm a first time applicant, no travel history, passport even expires in few months and also single and searching . While they were dishing out blue slips I kept smiling and telling myself "dude, you are sharp, the VO can't intimidate you, you ain't broke, talk with confidence" Please o, the nobel lauretes here aka English professors, this is not an essay, it's a donation so please don't criticize my write up for lack of proper punctuation. Already bought my return ticket sharp today and paid for my hotel accommodation, this dollar thing is crazy will be touring for 3 weeks. Good luck to future applicants. I'm going going going back back to Cali Cali .. Singing 26 Likes 4 Shares |

chuckdee13:Personally my advice is that you have to include those going with you and also it's an advantage if one or two of your colleague have a B1/B2 visa but it's not a guarantee that you will be issued a U.S visa. |

Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by seyewest(m): 9:13pm On Feb 16, 2016 |
onandon:Congrats bro I told the VO it was for conference as well and they issued my visa,this was in January, I noticed that you can visit U.S for anything including to watch sporting events to visiting places like Grand Canyon,Yellowstone park even Hollywood everything is not conference,vacation (Have a reason for it) or visiting family or friends. Be broad and also be honest... I visited for 8 days and that's it. 3 Likes |

Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by Beniyoha01(m): 9:51pm On Feb 16, 2016 |
onandon: Yeaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so so happy for you dude! You nailed it, And talking of the conference thing.... i was the one who advised, i never said dont mention conference i only advised based on the fact that the conference thing has been abused by people who just use it to get visas, i said instead of using the word conference just say what it is you are going to attend. here's an example of transcripts of two colleagues of mine who went 2 weeks ago. Colleague 1 VO - why are you going to the US She - To attend a conference (Usually the next question should be) VO - What conference? but because their pressed for time all she got was (Sorry you dont qualify blah........._) Colleague 2 VO - why are you going to the US She - To attend the ------ summit on ------- and ------- organised by -------- (at this point the VO wanted to know more, he asked more and issued her the visa) Most people who are tutored and packaged by TOUT/AGENTS answer their questions like "Colleague 1" the point for the VO is that he/she really doesn't know what the stuff is about, it's just a way they could easily pick out agent packaged applicants or even those who are just using the conference rout for a visa. I'm sure if you listened to the guy you saw very well you'll realize he did not just give them the word conference he backed it immediately with information's that made it witty. 4 Likes |

chloe7:Yes... Anything.. I saw them gave a guy whose answer was I just want to visit oooo... I want to visit U.S ooooo.... Do you know anybody in U.S? No but I will stay in a hotel all I want to do is visit U.S and guess what they gave him and denied my boss who was invited for conference although he was issued the visa like 3 months later. @Chloe7 anything is possible although that guy maybe one in a million the bottom line is that he was issued a 2yrs visa. 1 Like 1 Share |
