The position of USA visa authority is that
EVERYTHING on your vis application is YOUR responsibility.
There is no "Agent did it and I didn't know" get out.
They have heard the story too many times.

Have you been actually issued a ban?

Kindly read back my posts to you.
Yes. Have you seen the post I made this morning to you telling you honesty was your only viable option? Or the one omobendel replied you? I didn't even need to read back to remember it....
There's a column for why you were denied. Use it. Tell them you and your agent misrepresented the ist time and you have come to understand the full implications and that your details as now is the correct and verifiable detail. Some nice fellow posted recently how he made use of that column per an advice I gave earlier. Your application speaks for itself. It sets the tone before the ist question. Stand out with your honesty.
All the cut and join stories you dey plan sound like that....cut and join. But if you have 150k to waste, by all means continue with the fabu of the past.

Yes sure, I have!
I stayed back in abj to collect it 2days later.

Whats up?

folarinstr:
Na wah o, Lady G....you kept castigating me instead of advising me on how to correct my mistakes (lies) after I've explained myself to you, no be so oo!

Lady G did NOT castigate you.

She took her time to answer you but it's probably just not the answer you want to hear.

@Esosa4real,
I'm yet to collect mine o.
We did interview same day. You were ahead of me on the queue.
I listened to your interview.

What could be the cause of the delay? Any idea?

@LadyG,
Please any idea on what could cause delay in release of passport 6 days after interview?
And there's no communication from the embassy...

Oh yeah!! That's interesting!
So it means we both should have got same day except if there are some administrative process involved.

Did they give you the white paper?
If so, did u follow the instructions by visiting dhl office?

Have you gone to DHL to check by yourself? What does the ceac status check page return to you when you use it - Administrative Processing or Issued?

@Esosa4real
@OmoBendel24,

Yes, I was given the white paper, and I've been to DHL office.

I was there on Friday and today and they said it's still at the Embassy.

I checked online (via automated email response), and it says 'your passport is still with the Post'.

Post here means the Embassy? Or DHL?

There's no mention of Administrative Processing anywhere.

Shalom.

Thanks bro

@OmoBendel24,
Immense thanks for the link.
I just checked and it said my application is undergoing necessary Administrative Processing, and it will take several weeks.

What does that mean? And any idea of duration of the 'several weeks'?

The event I am going for starts in 3 weeks time.

Any possibility of the Administrative Processing being completed on or before then?

Since I don't stay in Abuja, I'll have to leave Abuja then, and wait for them to contact me.

Hello house please I need your help and advice on this matter
I have a sister who has a B1/B2 visa which is her 3rd.
She is presently in Nigeria,She had filled in for R1 visa in USA thru a pastor cum lawyer in the state.
Please can you kindly advice on this;the importance,duration and how it works
Thank you

The R1 visa, is a visa category strictly for religious personel I.e Clergy related.
If your sister has proof that she is a bonafide clergy person and she is being invited by a recognised religious organisation or denomination to perform something very relevant then by all means she qualifies for an R1.
Because the R1 is a category reserved for clergy people, it's a rather unique type of Visa I.e it could easily be flipped into permanent residency even though it is still considered as an NIV, that's what someone like Bishop Oyedepo or Baba Adeboye would have, also most priests use that.
Your sister has to be a real special minister to qualify for an R1 because it is not meant for roadside or self appointed pastors/roadside evangelists. A track record of ministerial achievements would do well in supporting her claim, if she has gone to Theological schools or bible schools, she needs to show proof as it would aid her claim and if she is being invited by an organisation which is non profit based, she needs to show affiliations that backup her claim.
In some cases an I-129 form is required if she intends to stay for a long duration, the inviting body does that petition on her behalf.
Has the I-129 been filed?
The R1 truly is a very unique category I must say, so there are a lot of conditions that have to be met for certain situations... some I am unaware of. Why didn't she findout more about it when she was in the US?
Anyway I hope that bit helps.

Will u be kind enough to share your interview transcript please.thanks.

Wanted to share the transcript after collection, so everything (interview--collection) will be in one post.
But now that this is the case, below is my transcript.

The interview was at Abuja office, 7:30am appointment. Got there 7am and we were called in at 7:30.
Passed through all the accreditation, and security checks and queued up for the interview.

Vo: Good Morning
Me: Good morning
Vo: What do you do?
Me: I am an IT Admin
Vo: So why are you going to California?
Me: I am going for annual XXXX IT Conference.
Vo: Okay, what do you intend to learn at the Conference?
Me: Since IT is dynamic and grows almost on daily basis, the conference offers a great opportunity to keep abreast of the latest technologies and solutions, to aid in improved efficiency and effectiveness in my job role.
Vo: Name one software solution you use in securing your network
Me: I named 2
Vo: Have you traveled outside Nigeria before?
Me: Yes, I have been to South Korea, Germany & South Africa
Vo: Typed on his Computer System...
Vo: Do you have your old Passport here?
Me: Yes
Vo: Can I see it?
Me: I gave him the old Passport
Vo: flipped through and returned it to me and typed on his System again.
Vo: Tell me about your trip to Germany
Me: We went for training/seminar on XXXX technology
Vo: Continued typing... Do you have children?
Me: yes.
Vo: How many?
Me: 2
Vo: He looked at my finger to see my wedding ring.... How many children do you have again?
Me: 2
Vo: Sir, I am approving your visa application. And he handed me over the white paper saying it contains instruction on how to collect my passport.
Me: Thank You

No document was checked.

My Advice:
1. Know what you filled in your D-160 form.
2. Answer only what you are asked, with confidence.
2. Only present documents if asked. Some people tried to push documents through to the VO and he told them not to bother. Most of those guys were denied. It kinda shows desperation.
3.Travel History is important. Mine helped me.
4. Prayer is very important.

Shalom.

Good morning everyone, my interview was scheduled to 23 Jan 2017 ( yesterday ) but my hands are so tight that i had to reschedule to 1st week of February. I hope this will not in anyway affect my interview ? Thank you.

Nope, it wont affect. That is your last free rescheduling. If you want to reschedule again, you have to pay.

I have a question for you, were you banned??
If not, just fill the form appropriately and truthfully, no need to explain anything on the form.
If you are asked during the interview you can admit your mistake.
However if you were banned, just use your visa application fee and settle down at a Joint with hot bush meat and cool palm wine... after that, go home and sleep-trust me Nigeria would feel like New York City .

Hello,
please Can one process a Canadian visa when on a tourist visa in the US?

Yes, I have explored that possibility once. But it would be best to do that if your clearance to stay in the US from the POE is longer than 3weeks.
Some Canadian embassies would typically take 14 days to issue a TRV, depends on how busy they are, while some may take hrs- a friend of mine was given his at Detroit the same day he applied.
So it's very possible.
