LadyGuinivere:
Welcome to part 3 of this thread, Like the Phoenix, Part 2 must go down for part 3 to be born (Although the info in Parts 1 and 2 remain priceless and Must/Ought to be read by any serious applicant.Part 2 was wonderful. Lots of lovely people offering great advice. Each in their own unique style. You guys rock!!! You know yourselves.

Since my appointment was cancelled last month i hv been looking for a nearer date to no avail, I was surprised today that available date is already in June. Na so Nigerians dey apply for us visa? No wonder they are about increasing the visa fee now to 105k

NothingDoMe:
Ha! Jesu! 105k? Where did you read this one again?

seyewest:

When is your interview?

Beautyaddy:


Lol!!...Most people are already paying double that amount by reapplying back one or multiple times after being denied.

NothingDoMe:
For a full family of 5 that may be denied nko? That's over half a million gone. Orimilago!

Saldway:
Good day people,
Pls how do you handle a case of someone that gave birth twice in the US, paid all her bills and collected zero balance letter. Subsequently applied for renewal via drop box and was invited for interview.
The interview asked for all the receipts , she gave all itemised and zero balance letters, he jist flipped through and tlsaid to her you were given discount of over 9k. She responsed that she was self pay ans the hospitals usually give discount to self pay international patients.
The vo looked at the birth certificate and told her you said you are resident there that is why the birth certificate has a u.s address on it. She said no, not at all that she said she is international and even gave the hospital her passport. That the address on the birth certificate and even receipts were for correspondence since they asked for a local address incase they want to post things, that they dont post internationally. He went ahead to deny her. She calles the hospitals and they said she is not owing them as stated in her zero balance letter.
Pls whp can she talk to?

eyinola:
maybe dem wan reduce crowd, applicants too dey plenty for that embassy, those VOs they see work no be small

NothingDoMe:
You never answer my question o. How you take get this information biko?

Beautyaddy:


Lol!!...Most people are already paying double that amount by reapplying back one or multiple times after being denied.

Saldway:
She said that she was hearing that 9k for the first time. That she did a one off payment birth at the doctors offices and the hospitals and got her receipts and zero balance letters. Of cos hospital kmew she was imternational as she was a self pay patient. Pls paste the medical thread here. Thanks

Best to always consider your ties.
- marital status
- children
- length at work place
- finances

***if the above is STRONG, travel history may be negligible.
***reasonable purpose of going to the US, sustainable by finances.
