Kollysweden: Anybody can be turned back if they deemed you ineligible at the airport.. in short anybody can be turned back if you don't have genuine reason for visiting the U.S |

good day guys. My husband and i got married last year (2016) and would like to apply for a b1/b2 visa for vacation. he is an engineer, works in a bank and has an engineering company that is doing really great. our agent advised that we should not use his personal company cos oyinbos dont believe in 'young CEOs'. im of the opinion that since the company is doing good and has a statement of account that can show that he is capable of financing the trip, we should use it. kindly advise pls as both of us are jjc (never traveled before). thank you. |

nikkination:This agent will spoil things for you... The U.S embassy I know hardly check bank statement for tourist visa.. What they look for is what ''ties'' you Nigeria.. Will you come back home after your vacation. Go through the thread it's enough for you.. you do not need agent to do simply things for you. |

I concur, honesty is the best policy, only fill in what you can defend. Eventually you will get the visa, and if by chance you were wrongly banned and you are honest and your documents are legit, you could apply for a waiver, not that this happens anyway, honesty is still the best policy. TWoods: |

1. I hope you intend to use the visa for vacation oh and not childbirth, because you will be asked. If asked whether you wanna use it for something other than vacation, mbok, say yes, you might be asked if you are pregnant in the follow-up question. 2. If you wish to have childbirth, come out and say so when filling the form or at the interview or you will be denied. The spirit of Trump has come upon VO's. 3. If your husband is sponsoring the trip, he should use his personal bank account, not the company account as it is seen as fraudulent. 4. All Visa agents in Nigeria are not to be patronised, if you go through this forum, you will stories of unnecessary regrets caused by them, they want your continued patronage not your success just like the mechanic that spoils your car, so that you keep coming back. nikkination: |

Please can you kindly give me details/steps of how to go about the drop box visa renewal. My VISA expired June last year(2016), and I will be traveling by March this year(2017). I checked the website but could not get any link through which to follow. Thank you |

I got to d embassy in lagos around 6:30am. And after all the queue and fingerprints was called to go to cubicle 5. Vo - good morning My wife and i- Good morning Vo- ( turned to me) I see you're a marketer, explain your role in the bank Me- As a marketer I sell the banks product with the objective of meeting the banks financial target as well as meeting the customer's need Vo- (turned to my wife) madam I see you're a teacher. Is it primary or secondary? My wife- secondary Vo- what's your monthly income My wife- 80k Vo- (to me) where are you going in the US Me- Texas Vo- I see you're going to visit you uncle Me- yes Vo- is he a US citizen Me- yea Vo- do you have any idea how he became a citizen Me- no I don't Vo- for how long as he been in the US Me- as long as I could remember Vo- so why are you visiting him Me-he's having his wedding, so he wants us to be there. Vo- how old is he? Me- I don't know....he should be around 40-45 Vo- and he's just getting married? Me- yes Vo- is he getting married to an american or Nigerian Me- Nigerian Vo- is there anybody else going to the wedding ? Me- no Vo- doesn't he have a parent that would like to attend the wedding? Me-( smiling) they are all complaing of getting too old to travel. Vo- so you're the only representative of the family? Me- something like that Vo- are you financially buoyant and how much do you plan to spend for this trip Me- 950k Vo- isn't that too small considering the round trip flight. Me- if there is additional expenses , I'm able to take care of it. And would also get the visa before booking the flight. Vo- I guess you're planning for little budget because you're staying with your uncle? Me- yes. Vo- how long do you intend to stay Me- two weeks Vo- I am approving your visa now blah blah blah. That was all heard before I was given a white paper with an address circled. ' take care of your sleeping son' she said as I walked like a jagaban God turned me to with my boy sleeping on my shoulder. 15 Likes |

olantua:Congrats on your money not being wasted. Was kinda waiting for the outta the ordinary/miracle. You have a job. Madam has a job. You have ties. No reason why u shouldn't Be given a visa. @kollysweden. Thanks for sharing your two experiences. The aplication and adjudication process Is not rocket science. The vo goes through Your form and makes a split second desicion. Be objective though. The application from Naija and the one from sweden had subtle differences... Your story was verifiable and your ties were stronger. You were living with your wife together , working together in a non 3rd world country. Your status wasn't the same. Anyways, we all are entitled to opinions. And I agree with the poster that said Nigerians over religionise everything... 4 Likes |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by bravedude(m): 11:56am On Jan 06, 2017 |
LadyGuinivere: I disagree with u on this,the applicant available money for the trip can barely cover him and his family flight ticket,he is a marketer in the bank and from my perspective bank marketer are not well paid in Nigeria,what job does the wife have,80k job?guess that money will barely sustain her a month.Well in as must as i am not over religious,I still believe in miracle. All I can say is that man was favored because I don't think he has enough money to cover his trip which the VO is aware,I guess she was in a good mood.Congrats man,i tap from your testimony,I pray to meet a VO like dis when it's my turn. 17 Likes 2 Shares |

bravedude:A bank marketer can range from an Executive assistant to a GM. The vo saw his salary and has a fair idea of his level. Some marketers earn 400 and above. That's not a mean figure. He also has job security. 80k salary is not the only issue under consideration. Lenght of time worked etc factor in. Egypt air is 390k. If they pay For flight and shop with with the change. What else are they paying for? Feeding, accomodation and local transport is Covered. The vo took time to even clarify this. Lack of Objectivity is what makes folks keep on wasting money and blaming vos. yes I agree there are instances when the vos clearly goof. But IMO, this fellow had Ties 1 Like |

LadyGuinivere: You are right he has ties but I have seen and read of many people with better ties and are still refused,390k return ticket for family of 3 or is it 390kx3?what if this guy is just a regular bank marketer with less than 150k salary but filled 400k or there about as his monthly income?he doesn't even know the uncle that is inviting him over.Its more like the VO was giving him suggestions according to his transcript.Anyone that fails to believe America visa in Nigeria is a thing of luck,am sorry.GOd deserve a thanks giving from this man.Congrats once again,u are indeed favored. 8 Likes |

TWoods: I believe in miracle, if you don't, leave me to believe what I want by not telling me what I can believe. It's sad the "basic" things of life is not basic in this part of the world; a third world country and you have only one life to experience the "normal" life & society, be it vacation, conference, family, medical; I think it's worth a million. Obvious to America, that people will want to escape or escapade, so they take your money (non refundable) and still scrutinize you. N54,400 is not chicken change to anyone to throw away because you made a slight mistake at the "ordinary" interview and VO bounced you & your passport or after you paid a return ticket, only to use it up same day at PoE- sadly it's a miracle to someone that's traveling for the 1st time, most times or anyone sef. For he shall rebuke the devourer ![]() But wait, Vos actually say "congratulations"? ![]() olantua: The questions were much from the vo and you were able to confidently answer her from what I can read in the transcript, probably new style they are switching to "Bombardier" Hehehe.

Truth be told about Non Immigrant visas, each applicant is deemed a prospective immigrant. Be you from the E.U, Asia or wherever. Many of you dont even know what is called Diplomatic reciprocity, in the eye of the international community, Indians are more prone to abscond than any other country and they also have an alarming population but alas they are issued 10 years USA visa. I personally dont like the idea of Miracle and God being ascribed to some basic things like filling your DS 160 accurately and knowing when the time is right to apply for any visa not just an American visa.But we can not take away the fact that naturally there are people more lucky and favoured than others, i dont want to delve into the factor responsible for this but it happens that is why our situations are different. some peoples luck may be their pretty/handsome face, their voice it can be just about anything to create that atmosphere where their case or situation is given more attention and slight error overlooked. Please lets let those that believe in a higher being to do so freely, dont force your beliefs on others. About VOs saying "Congtratulations" to an applicant whose visa just got approved, i think it depends on the individual and not the Embassy he or she is stationed at. I was told congratulations when i got my USA visa at the embassy in London UK. My brother was told same in Germany,my cousin was told same in Denmark. While my parents applied and had their first visa applroved in Nigeria were not told congratulations. I have seen on TV (US border force) where a UN diplomat from Holland was deported back because he presented first his dutch passport and that became legal, he was evaluated on that and was not found admissible (He has a UN passport and was going to attend a meeting with the trade ministers from 3 south South American countries). These shows that just about anyone can be denied entry and deported. Also to the guy who has had a US visa denial in the past, even if you eventually become a citizen of Sweden you will still need to apply for visa as you have had a denial before. ESTA only applies to those who havent been denied visa or denied entry into USA. 7 Likes |
