cheldas: Pretty sorry, there's 99.9% chance you will have to cough out another NGN54,400.00. In essence, that money is pretty likely gone unless they have readjusted its consequences in recent times(because I believe there should be an influx of such complains/mistakes, and it will only be fair if such issues are looked into with another and much more favorable eye really, very unfortunate place to find one's self). |

"Just 5 days" a big red flag. Doesn't make sense. And you already answered your question now i planned to apply for b1/b2 visitors visa, want to go for easter vacation with my dad,just for 5days though nikiihardehx: |

nikiihardehx:Read this slowly. Re read it. Assimilate it. Then re read it again. your purpose of visit is immaterial. If you want , you can travel for just 5 days to see snow or pose and snap inside a train What is material is your TIES. Do you have ties? Self evalute before applying Before you ask what 'ties' mean, check the previous page 1 Like |

If you are a student aspiring to pursue you higher studies in the United States or if you are part of student exchange program from your university, then should be applying for F-1, M-1 or J-1 VISA. According to US law, children who are below 18 years of age are considered as minors and they need to furnish their Original birth certificate while applying for VISA. And that they should accompany their biological parents while appearing for the interview. 1 Like |

1. How old are you? 2. How long has it been since your last application? 3. There are no good responses. Your response has to be reasonable to the VO. You can say I want to see snow and the VO will say "that's good enough for me". You have to think of a strong reason for going to the US for Easter holiday, and why you are going with your dad and not your mum as a family. 4. What will make you come back to Nigeria? 5. Why are you applying for a tourist visa, after applying for a student visa? 6. Why are you going for just five days? 7. Are you in the process of getting a BSc. ? If you say the VO felt that you can easily get a BSc. then, most likely he has made a note against your name on the system. Try answering these question as though it is the VO that is asking them, it will help you in formulating your answers, because those are the one's you will remember and it will flow more naturally in your interview. My opinion. nikiihardehx: |

Hello everyone, Hope you lot are having a good day. It will be very ungrateful of me if I don't give a feedback on this forum concerning all that I have learnt here and how it has helped me in achieving my international travel goals. First of all, I want to say thanks to every one that comments on here and posts their interview experience - those approved visas and those denied. I learned a lot about why the approved visas were issued and why the rejected applications did not sail through. I have been a silent reader on the Travel page on nairaland right from when I applied for an S.A visa last year. That was right in the middle of the Xenophobic attacks last year. I read the S.A visit visa pages and applied for my visa last year, with prayers and faith I was issued a visa. Now fast-forward to this year. I only applied for my U.S visit visa last week. Just in one week I read page 1- page 346 of this U.S visit visa forum. I prayed and fasted, made sure I was applying for the right type of visa, I read this forum like I was preparing for Bar Exams (lawyers), etc. I advise that anyone applying to stick to whatever info you filled on your DHS-1 form. My appointment was for 7.15am today and the blue paper was been giving like free sweets to many but God favoured me. Anyways, here goes my Transcript (nb: its my 1st time applying). I was interviewed by a White Male who hardly smiled V.O: Good Morning Me: Good Morning (with a smile) V.O: Can I have your Passport Me: (Passed it to him and he started typing fast) V.O: Why are you going to the U.S? Me: I wish to attend the NeoCon Event in Chicago Illinois... (V.I cuts in ) V.O: What's that? (NeoCon Event) Me: It's a conference on Interior Designing V.O: Ok. What do you do? Me: I'm a businesswoman. I own a company called blah, blah, blah. We are into blah, blah, blah! (He was typing all through) V.O: Have you travelled outside your country before? Me: Yes i have actually been to the U.K, Dubai and recently South Africa. (He was going through my passport and spotted my previous S.A visa. Then he spotted my Old Passport and told me to hand it over. He glanced through my UK and Dubai Visas, including Stamps from my previous West African Countries trips to Ghana and Togo) V.O: When was the last time you travelled to the UK? Me: I studied a Diploma in Law over there between 2001- 2003 and came back home to do a full degree in Law (i studied law but I'm an Interior Designer) V.O: (Stretching his right hand to collect the mighty white paper) Madam, your visa has been approved Me: (Smiling) Thanks very much. Guys, my travel history helped me. Also, the conference I am attending is completely related to my job. I was also very bold and relaxed. Thanks to God almighty and you lot. Best wishes to everyone still trying to get through the process. May God favour you IJN. 13 Likes 1 Share |

KaptainAfrika:thanks a lot for your response My last application was made mid sept last year, Also, yes i still have the plan of getting bsc, during my visit to London i visited some colleges, and still expecting their response..

Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by Wiseoldman: 1:54am On Mar 16, 2017 |
cheldas: How did u book and pay for hotel online. All the online bookings i can see are "Pay at the hotel". I would like to have this booking sorted out here with full confirmation prior to travelling. |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by LadyGuinivere: 2:20am On Mar 16, 2017 |
cheldas:You are doing everything wrong 1. You can book for an accomodation without paying. You just take a look at the options and choose the one that accepts booking without payment. 2. You are not expected to spend any money BEFORE you get your visa (though you will get the money back when you cancel , with a surcharge), so yes, iin my own opinion, I would see your efforts as trying too hard. 3. A hotel booking is supposed to coincide with the travel date and not interview date abi? So that is what you should be considering @wiseoldman the 'pay at the hotel option ' is actually better , in my opinion. See nos 2 above for the reason |

seyewest: Please house how do I get a date like one week for interview as I am trying to schedule a date for the interview I could only see dates like two days very much closer dates please I need to get a date like one week so I could prepare... This house is full of answers and ideas I know |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by cheldas: 6:59am On Mar 16, 2017 |
LadyGuinivere: MadamG, na booking.com i go ooooo and i don't see the option of the one that accepts booking without payment na so so reserve i dey see or maybe i didn't look well. Yes, my hotel booking date is tally with the travel date everything in april. Now should i cancel the hotel booking, request for a refund and look for another hotel when I'm not expected to spend any money BEFORE i get visa? Also, should i go ahead scheduling another appointment or i hold on for a while? I'm asking this based on the drop-box issues i had recently. Hope this will not look or sounds desperately. I have mission in Lagos in few week time so I'm thinking of doing everything together same week I'll be visiting Lasgidi What's your suggestion my people?. Thank you all |

Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by Nobody: 4:15pm On Mar 16, 2017 |
nikiihardehx: You can never know what you will be asked. But if you plan on visiting schools, most universities in America have 'Open days', selected days you can come, take a University tour and then ask questions. Try and check online for the open day of the university you would like to attend and register. But I don't think VO's are interested in hearing you want to go and check for schools, so many people applied in Nigeria, got admitted without going there to physically check the school. You can practically take a virtual tour on the internet. Everything is a 2 way streak. What works for Ada, may not work for Peter. |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by worry357: 5:25pm On Mar 16, 2017 |
nikiihardehx: Please forget this plan. Visiting schools in person is something people do not do. It may well look like a desperate attempt at a visa. Save your money and avoid complications. Do your research on line and apply to good schools. Avoid private colleges and one room schools! 1 Like |
