With all good wishes.... Thank you Yemmyt20 LadyG, have you thought about how hardworking Nigerians are? Suffering and smiling as Baba Fela said... Nigerians are not lazy... We are just tired of the same old shit... For every new government, they will promise everything but when they get there, nothing to show for it... I can beat my chest and say if the youth today have the chance to rule... there will be drastic change in Nigeria but corruption will never stop... Do you watch "YourView" on TVC ? Nigerians dey para oh For example... A welder need electricity... where is the electricity? You didn't supply him... OK... he looks for a solution to get a generator... now he needs fuel.... where is the fuel? E dey Aso Rock ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() LadyG... I still stand on your point that never misuse a visa but nevertheless when you see someone misuse a visa, they have a reason to do that... It's a crime to misuse a visa because you have signed a document with terms and condition. We can reduce it but not stop it. I'm super sure you will still see people come here for advice and scope to get the visa and run away while some will get it and go and come back... All man for himself. I have never misused any of my visa... I thank God things are working out good for me... You next neighbor might be going through hell and needs a solution so don't just be harsh on them... NIGERIANS ARE NOT LAZY... 16 Likes 1 Share |

TWoods: Twood this is savage but it's the truth. There's no wow factor about this country anywhere in the world... When you mention the word Nigeria what you will see is frown and they start treating you with suspicions... I think it's time we start behaving with decorum,integrity and respect for rule of law... almost every country is corrupt but it's only in Nigeria they respect corrupt people and even worship them. We have a long way to go. May God help us. 2 Likes |

I think the doors of Nigeria should be opened, if you want to leave, leave and don't come back. Let's work with those who wish to remain. You think the paradise's your lazy backsides are running off to, started with everything good, some of them went through civil wars, genocides, madmen etc before arriving at their current state. Nigerians that think running away, will solve their problems, let me tell you, nothing you are experiencing now is unique to Nigeria! but if una wan commot, commot abeg, who knows maybe you guys are the one's holding this country back. This applies to the rich, middle-class and the poor. The jews learnt the lesson the harshest way, so harsh they ran back to their homeland that was a desert and turned it into a world-class haven for innovation. You will always be a guest, even if the owner of the house adopts you, there is no place like your own home, no one can chase you out of your own home. That said, no one knows your chances of getting a visa...documents are not usually requested but if they are, you will given an opportunity to bring them later. PEACE! 2 Likes |

TWoods:Succinctly put and spot on, the name Nigeria is synonymous with fraud, corruption and wickedness, I heard over the radio few weeks ago that Belgium has less than 30churhes in the entire country, same is applicable to some European countries, Nigeria has thousands of churches all over the country but yet the country is godless, rotten and wicked, l use to get angry before when I hear people of other nations speak bad of Nigeria as a nation but not anymore, in addition, some Nigerians went to rob a gold shop in Dubai recently, I read Gulf news and the government of Dubai has suspended issuance of 3months visa to citizens of Nigeria, most tour companies in the middle East don't want to sponsor visa application for Nigerians, I think several other countries will soon tow similar line or make it difficult for Nigerians to secure their visas, I don't blame them, l think only God can cleanse that land from the huge stain on it, what a shame, TWoods, I doubt your contribution on here will make much difference but rather you will be abused and call all manner of names, Nigeria needs special angels from God to cleanse the land, in my opinion, humanly speaking, I think Nigeria is beyond redemption, if prayers alone can change a country, Nigeria should have been like paradise but the reverse is the case, Nigeria has plenty churches, mosques and religious centers but it produces un-godliness the, Corruption, ethnicity, tribalism, wickedness, ineptitude, shedding of blood like what we are reading in the news since January 2018, mention it, every evil you can think of under the sun is in Nigeria and yet it has thousands of religious centres and the name Nigeria is dented globally, what a shame ![]() 8 Likes |

Lee310: I disagree totally. Nigerians are lazy... at the risk of being "disrespectful", your post is clear evidence of the type of intellectual laziness endemic in Nigerians. You are not tired of Nigeria's problems, you are only upset because you are not the one at the table to "chop". Who are the youth going to bring "drastic change" in Nigeria? The same youth who see no problem with breaking law and order, misusing visas, consistently vote based on "stomach infrastructure", and like you, are also convinced that corruption will never stop? There is no difference between the youth and the current government in Nigeria... the difference is one has the opportunity to rob Nigeria blind while the other doesn't. Changing a country is about attitude. There is no special magic. The countries you are all rushing to did not get to where they are by calling on a genie. They are where they are because the average individual is solidly committed to the rule of law, honesty and hard work. 4 Likes |

TWoods: In North America (Canada and the US) it is illegal to target an individual on the basis of his color or national origin. That is discrimination and it would open the door to a human right complaint. However, having come accross hundreds of human rights complaints in Canada, one thing I have learned is that you should listen to both parties before jumping into conclusion. The complainant always seems to be right until the defender is heard. In this case, Delta may have reasons to target Chimamanda Adichie other than the fact that he is of nigerian origin. In addition to that, what make you think a lawsuit by mr Adichie would promptly been thrown out the court? It will be thrown out only if the case has no merit. And we will never know whether or not this case has merit until we evaluate all the evidence from both parties It does cost a dime to lodge a human right complaint. One doesn't need a lawyer to do so. If mr Adichie feels like his human rights were violated he should file a complaint against Delta. 6 Likes |

Re: USA Visit Visa Part 3 by TWoods(m): 5:50pm On Jan 04, 2018 |
TheCongo2: You obviously did not understand the specific issue you were commenting on. If you did you would know that MISS Adichie is a famous Nigerian novelist and that delta (the only foreign airline with direct flights to Nigeria) has a strict policy that requires anyone who books a flight ticket from Nigeria,by credit card, to present this card in person before boarding. That is not a violation of civil rights, it is simply a fraud prevention policy. 3 Likes |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 3 by TheCongo2: 6:13pm On Jan 04, 2018 |
TWoods: Thanks for clarifying. Nigerians should have been angry at the policy set in place by Delta. But, here, it seems like they got angry only because Miss Adicie was summoned to present her credit card. I am afraid people believe that the rich and famous should be treated differently from the general public I hate it when someone come up with the "Do you know who I am" argument to bypass a policy set in place. I will never support such a person |

Good day all, I just stumble upon this thread and I need some help with information. My elder sister is a citizen of the US, she and the husband are sending invitation to I and my wife for her graduation ceremony (ecxluding our 3 kids) My I kindly know the supporting document I will need to present at the consulate from my end and also what she should send to me to accompany our documents here. |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 3 by TWoods(m): 6:26pm On Jan 04, 2018 |
TheCongo2: Nigerians cannot afford to be angry at the policy. Even we know why the policy exists. Secondly, if we had a viable national airline (rather than using them as private piggy banks), delta wouldn’t be able to hold us to ransom. We are our own worst enemies. 2 Likes |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 3 by TheCongo2: 6:34pm On Jan 04, 2018 |

Twoods, Nigerians are not lazy... Kindly do a survey.... You know deep that corruption can't end but we can just reduce it... I don't need to be a politician to be rich... I'm contended. If you blame the youth they misuse visa, they are fighting for the future of their unborn kids to be in country that the system works.... Think outside the box....

Ikegodng: I have copy and paste the following from a visa officer, LagosNIV. Good luck The required documents are: International passport 2 passport photos DS160 confirmation page MRV Fee Receipt Documents which are not required but are sometimes requested: copies of the US Visa or bio-data page of the international passport of family members who have already been issued visas and who will be traveling with you copies of the US Green Card or US Passport of family in the US who you are going to visit Most other documents will not be requested nor looked at if offered. As a general rule if there is a document we want to see in order to make a fair decision on your case we can put the case on hold in 221g status and request that you submit the document before we make a final decision.

seyewest: Bro, you are walking on the streets of America at this time. I believe that you wouldn't like it if someone is looking at you as "another black guy who is about to commit a crime". Profiling is wrong and we shouldn't encourage it in anyway. Each person is an individual. Each person deserves a chance until the person himself blows it up. Nine years ago, I joined Nairaland. My initial moniker was TheCongo. I did close it couple years ago to re-appear as TheCongo2. So, when I first joined Nairaland, there was a debate going on in the family section. The OP was an orphan who was appealing to the public for help. https://www.nairaland.com/446574/greatest-challenge-orphan A great number of people didn't believe him given that Nigerians smell scam everywhere ![]() Nevertheless, I took a chance and send to the brother US $500 in two installments. (US $300 first and then US$200) You can see from page 14, OP and other people thanking after I made my first transfer. https://www.nairaland.com/446574/greatest-challenge-orphan/14 After that, other people on Nairaland followed and donated money to the OP. As a result of those donations, OP was able to set up a business. He opened a pharmacy.That was back in 2009-2010 And in 2017, the OP opened another thread on Nairaland to thank me and other people for what we did for him. He even announced that he was getting married. The guy was indeed genuine. He truly needed help. And my action made me feel very good as a person. I have made a chance in someone's life. https://www.nairaland.com/3561064/where-radiance-thecongo-oj4mr231chaircover-arrowhead#52641745 I think that Nigerians are overreacting with the scam issue. You have good and bad people everywhere. Each person is an individual. We can't keep on judging everyone based on the action of few bad apples. I know that we have to be cautious but smelling scam everywhere and every time is nauseating. Sorry for derailing the thread 12 Likes |

I was born in Russia and we spent 2 years in England and a few years in Cotonou. I have not traveled as an adult. V: I am sorry but I will not be approving your visa. |

My Observation at the embassy that fateful day I was given a visa:::: 1. Dress smartly, no one cares about you tagging your ID card on your shirt.. (I wore a short sleeve and plain trousers) 2.Always put a smile but laugh at all.. they are serious... 3.Stop carrying big files if they are irrelevant, be as simply as u can please. 4.Dont answer a question and stop, just continue for some seconds, E.g What countries have you been to? Don't just say Ghana,Mali and India.. It's better to say I was in Ghana in August 2016 for a leadership conference of course sponsored by my firm, in Mali in 2013 for a vacation and also in India in 2012 for a friend's wedding.. Please say with dates, it will help even if incorrect. 5.Dont be quick to say you are going to US to come back, they know that answer, Simply say stuffs like I will be staying in the States for two weeks after which I will fly to Dubai for a talk show which will last for two days before returning to Nigeria.. Don't just say for two weeks and stop..Talk like you have other plans. 6.Above all please be confident, it's not a do or die affair, look them in the face and explain, demonstrate too and don't lie much because u can contradict yourself.. 7.If you filled that you earn 300,500 naira and that question is thrown to you, Pls don't just say I earn 300,500..Say stuffs like this" I earn a little above 300,000 excluding tax"...Dont just spell out what you filled, those people are intelligent. 8.while on the line, you will notice Alot of people being denied visa, you will hear am sorry,am sorry it please don't be discouraged, be bold and approach them.. God can still do it for you.. Good Luck 25 Likes 2 Shares |

I have been an ardent follower of this thread, and I really appreciate the work you guys are doing. I want to seek a travel advice and I hope some people will be able to advice me appropriately. Recently, I applied for a Canadian study permit ,I was rejected, so this time I don't want to encounter any rejection at another embassy. By July I intend to travel to US for a Yoruba social cultural event with my dad who is a local government chairman in the capacity of a personal assistant. I have been his PA since Sept 2017, and my pay is little above 100k. Though,not one of the speaker, my dad plans to meet some of his local govt indigene at the sideline of the event. My question is that hope it is not a red flag if I emphasis that he is my father cum boss. Please, the above question may sound dumb but I just want to another avoidable rejection for now, I believe it's better for me not to apply now and be patient till when I can confidently say I'm eligible. N.B :No travel history,married |

hayzee545: No one here can say if you will get visa or not but know that you will be judged by your TIES to Nigeria not because you're planning to travel with your dad... Assess yourself if you have what it takes to get a U.S visit visa and read the forum thoroughly. |
