''A passenger, carrying two (2) brand new iphones for a friend was stopped for customs check at Dubai airport. He now faces trial, years in jail or death penalty for carrying drugs. It is sensible not to carry anything for anyone, especially if it is a sealed packet and you cannot see what is inside.''

Please don't carry any items or goods for anyone you don't know well and check and repackage it yourself. Please be careful.

Good day house. Pls I plan on making trips to the UK and US in the coming weeks. Would be going to the UK on a business visa.I plan on spending about a month in the UK.
Is it ok if I applied for a US visitor's visa while in the UK or do I have to return to naija to reapply for a US visa?
Thanks

LadyGuinivere:
Congratulations James

But eh! How come people that are successful always wax poetic?

thegreengooner:


Your personal circumstances don't seem to have changed. A different purpose for travel is not necessarily the same thing as a change in personal circumstances.

Hypothetically speaking and please don't take it the wrong way, concerning your hubby and kid, what if your true purpose is to abandon your family to live illegally with your uncle who is really your lover...how does that given your personal circumstances make for strong ties?

LadyGuinivere:
Congratulations James

Gracedme:
Very funny to abandon my son(a baby for that matter) I laboured for and hubby to go meet a supposed lover. My Uncle is even here in Nigeria, we all are going from Nigeria. In addition I've got a fantastic job here with a good pay.
So your hypothesis is absolutely wrong, thanks for your contribution Mr.

jamesgordon:


Lol! Denial was the best thing that happened to me. I came back stronger than ever.

While filling my form MYSELF @LadyGuinivere I saw one of your post how to be confident and how to take control of the interview.

God bless you for all the little but important remarks you render in this forum.

I’m already in the states (it’s so beautiful) can’t wait to be on leave again and return soon, just have 2weeks holiday.

platypelloid:
Sorry mistake

LadyGuinivere:

If you apply from the UK you will be refused. Because you have no ties there

thegreengooner:


You are usually expected to apply for a visa in the country of your residency.

CurrentEffort:
Went in as family and did ours 3 weeks ago .We were meant to enter 9:45am but didn't do the interview until almost 12pm .After a very long queue and bar code stage we

got into a big square room where pictures were scanned ,the fingerprints and finally the interview stage . You wont even know you are on the interview line as people

queue up in all stages. Congrats,plZ did u upload ur passport on ur ds 160 or u just took it along

The interview goes this way :

VO : Good morning
Me : Morning and Happy New Year
VO : Your passports Please
Me : Here is it.
VO : Where is the last person? (He couldn't see my son very well)
Me : My Son moved closer and waved to the VO. At the same time my Son and Daughter say Good morning and he waved and Smiled back at them.
VO : Why are you going to US?
Me: We actually going on Vacation and we are considering New York being one of the largest Tourist centers in the world.
VO : Where do you work?
Me : I work with bla bla bla as an bla bla bla as an bla bla bla
He looked at his desktop obviously looking at the form we filled .
VO: What is your salary?
Me: bla bla bla
VO: What type of bla bla bla do you use in your office? (Some IT items indicated in the form)
Me: We use bla bla bla in the office (He saw this from the form I filled)
VO :How long are you staying in US?
Me: Just 14 days (This time myself and Madam say it at the same time)
VO: Any travel history?
Me :Yes I have been to United Kingdom twice.
VO :He flipped through my attached old passport.

VO: Madam what do you do ?
Madam: I am the bla bla bla of bla bla bla ...
VO : Did you travel as a family before?
Madam : I only went to Ghana with my family .......
VO: Any relative/friend in US? the background was noisy and people were so close to one another
pardon i asked .

He repeated again !
Me: Not at all.No relative/friend in US.
VO: He typed for like 1 minute

We: Some silent prayers going on within us here.Looks like the judgement day.
VO: He pulled out the drawer and put our passports there. Flipped out the white paper .....You will be notified through your email/sms when to pick your visas.

It's only God lots of Blue papers that day oo

You need to be very conscious of what you are doing. That is :

1. Many people doing fingerprints and interviews at the same time.
2. Don't let blue papers flying around bother you as lots of people got denied (Be prayerful, positive and hopeful).
3. No enclosure for interviewers - You hear all the conversations of others easily (so don't get distracted).
4. Questions may come from form Ds-160 (read it very well)
5. Don't staple the 2x2 passports (A guy did that in my front and was asked to go out) as this will affect the scanning of the pictures .So keep them separated.
6. Dress neatly and smartly.Tie and Suit not a must .I was even surprised seen a lot with natives and cap.

Wish you all good luck !

terrywales:
A successful visa interview transcript tone is very lovely and detail. it will sound like


Next thing I heard is congratulations. .. I did not listened to the rest of the statement.

Another setranscript will be like


I was interviewed by a stern looking African American lady that many have been complaining about


Next things ..... sorry bla bla bla

She was just dishing out blue paper to everyone that day

Pls where did I go wrong...


Assuming you are to give visa to either of the two transcript ... which one are you likely to give?

Both said 2

The next thing na blue paper .... kilode? I asked why are refusing us?

He said everything is stated in the paper!

max1981:


I don't understand why this VO in window 4 didn't ask me comprehensive questions. He only asked few questions and decided. I wish to reapply alone again. Can someone please suggest when I should do that? Do I need to travel to another country before making a new application? What should I do again?

OmoBendel24:

Give it some time, apply alone or with your wife but without the kids.
