Good afternoon house. I had my interview today. The VO at Windows 11 Lagos wasn't smiling. The first thing he did was that he collected my passport and he checked if I had Visa's on my slip. He just dropped it on his table. He quickly checked is computer for my previous application which I was denied. Base on my own assumption, I feel because I filled a no, on my DS 160 form where I was asked if I have an immediate relative, which I thought means younger brother or sister in the US who is a citizen not knowing it means a Spouse of a US citizen. Anyways I had corrected that sha. My interview goes thus.
VO: Good morning
Me: Good morning
VO: what is the address you are going to stat in the US?
Me: I told him
VO: What is the purpose of your trip
Me: I want to go visit my mum who is having some health issues.......she lives with my sister who is a citizen of the United States and she had sent me an invitation to this regard.
VO: How many days are you going to spend?
Me: 9 days and I am coming back to prepare for my final exams and NYSC.
VO: Are you married
Me :No
VO: Do you have kids?
Me: No
VO: Sorry I wont be approving your Visa gives me a blue slip.
I kept wondering what went wrong. I wasn't asked sponsorship and all the rest. It pained me sha.

Sorry about that. You d'nt av any strong tie. She av gone through your application and weight it, no much tie, two of your family are in USA, not sure if u will come back. The pain takes one month to heal. Lol! So better look for something to cheer u up.

NothingDoMe:
Lol. I wonder how someone who doesn't know the Visa fees would know that I wasn't serious.

Selah.

Na you get time to dey answer.

Where you went wrong is that you clearly didn't read the thread nor self evaluate.
If you did, you would know sponsorship Is irrelevant

Good evening house? Please, how much can one get the cheapest flight from Murtala Mohammed Airport, Lagos to Los Angeles, California?

Sorry about your refusal considering the effort and money you’ve put in. Better days ahead. However from your script one can tell that you’ve not learnt much from the thread.
With no travel history and a mother/sister in the USA your social/family ties seems more inclined to the USA than to Nigeria. Lesson 1: Never use your sibling or family member’s status as evidence to strengthen yours. VO’s are not interested in all those invitation letters and the likes.
They are more interested in the person they are interviewing and how convincing their story is.

US visa interviews are easy to pass but many of us seem to complicate things. A friend of mine had an interview at the US consulate for the first time on friday and the VO simply asked her where she was going to, what she was doing (student in her final year awaiting results) and what countries she had been to . There after he typed in some things on his screen and told her “your visa is approved”.

It means that such a person has actually read the thread but still decided to ask anyway.

Medicine after death.... They should first instruct Nigeria Embassies oversea to start refunding visa fees for those they refuse.

NothingDoMe:
We can be eligible for Visa lottery again if fewer than 50,000 immigrate to the United States in a 5 year period.

With the rate Nigerians are Migrating?

NothingDoMe:

If Congress agrees to.

They shouldn't o.

Lol. Reciprocity.

If only they knew that the Nigerian government was issuing 1 year visa to Americans while the US government was issuing two years visa.

If only they knew that the reason why we don't get 5 year visa is because of the greed of our government.

If only they knew....

So if It was shifted are we going to be merged with the following day set?

My family interview is suppose to be 25th but we got a text message that it's been moved to 29th ,so I guess if anyones interview is moved the person should get a notification

What advice would give a fresh graduate with a good grade planning to go to usa to hustle??

Nigerians on the move without applying for visa...
