Lolzz...she was under tension. she gave a figure that she saw in one of my annual remuneration break down.
You are right. It was just grace of God. I maintain that there is no sure way with the US embassy. Someone could have all the boxes ticked and it will end in denial. It just God's favour.

KDK:
I proceeded with prayers to God almighty asking for Grace of God because this VO na one chance. I remembered the guy thatshared his transcript here after he was denied. He said he went to one buka to eat good food and step it down with a cold malt (he broke his fast or so). I was already thinking of where I can do same because with this kind of VO, only GOD can help your case.
Here is the transcript.
Me: Good morning Sir.
VO: Please, can I have your passport?
Me: Yes, you can but before you do, I need to update you on some information on my DS-160 form(since the guy didn’t smile, I wiped off my smile too)
VO: Okay, I am listening but pass me your passport.
Me: (Handing over the passport) The initial plan was for me to travel with my family for holidays in August so we did a drop box but whilst the passport was at the embassy, my organisation informed me that I have to attend an urgent meeting in Texas. I immediately informed the embassy but got no replies to several mails I sent (VO nodded as though in agreement as he gazed at the screen). I even tried getting an expedited date to no avail. Based on this and future planned office itinerary , I will no longer be travelling with my family for the holidays as earlier planned.
VO: (Keeping a straight face) Okay. What was your reason for traveling to the states the last time.
Me: To witness the birth of my child and accompany my family back to Nigeria just the way I escorted them when they left Nigeria.
VO: And your wife stayed for 4 months?
Me: Noooooo , she stayed 3 months (counting on my fingers).
VO: How much did you spend?
Me: $.......... (I tried bringing out the proof of payments, zero balance, etc)
VO: (Seeing my big folder) No need to show me.
Me: Okay (But I still brought it out and mentioned the cents to the earlier amount I quoted)
VO: What is the DOB of your child?
Me: DD MM YYYY
VO: What do you do?
Me: I am a …….professional with ABC company (well known organisation).
VO: How much do you earn?
Me: I earn NXXXXXX but before tax
VO: Before tax ? (looking slightly surprised but regained his straight face)
Me: Yes but after tax it comes to (VO cuts in)
VO: No need. (still not smiling. I think he doesn’t have the muscle for smiling)
VO: How long do you intend to stay during the Visit to the states?
Me: Meeting is for DD & DD of June but my office policy requires a day’s rest before the meeting and before return travel for proper rest so I will stay a maximum of 6days. Arrive on Monday and return on Saturday.
VO: Typed for about a minute (I expected to hear : I am sorry, bla bla)
VO: (Not smiling) Your visa has been approved, this paper explains……
Me: (Straight face) Thank you. (but inside me, I was dancing a mixture of awilo, makossa, shoki and dabbing. Infact I was doing back flips). As Ieft I could see the expression of shock on the face of the guards and those on the queue.(Sorry to say but that VO na complete error)
So I went to meet wifey who was on the queue outside and gave her a quick coaching on how to answer the VO. I told her to ensure she passes the message of me and her not travelling together as it is key to the success if the interview.
I really thank God because if not for God, with that kind of VO, forget it.

My precedents:
1. My travel history is very solid, my former job had to do with international travel so I have been to atleast 5 countries on every continent except Australia. A globe trotter with an average of over 12 international travels annually.
2. My last US visa was for child birth and was declared at that interview. Although I had previous US visas meant for professionals.
3. I have had no international travel after my trip to USA.
4. I am well articulated and was very composed (This one means nothing to the VO although I suspect a stammerer may be misconstrued to be lieing or thinking of lieing).

I wrote my precedents so you may understand the background behind the approval.

Thanks to all the information on this thread and those on sister threads. I appreciate all contributors and information. God bless you all.

Anything is possible.This is what some people might term village people followed her to the embassy.

KDK:


My wife’s transcript is thus:
DW: Good morning
VO: Good morning. Please pass your passport?
DW: okay. (Passing the passport). I have to inform you about changes in my DS-160 application form.
VO: Go ahead.
DW: My husband might not be coming with us for the vacation as he is likely to travel to other places on business during that period.
VO: Okay. What does he do?
DW: He works with ABC .
VO: What does he do?
DW: (knowing she didn’t answer well). He does M,N,O,P for ABC
VO: How much does he earn.
DW:He earns NXXXXXXX
VO: (Still typing) How many kids do you have?
DW: Two and one was born in the states.(i told her to lead the VO to the childbirth since it was apparent that is what they are looking for)
VO: Okay, how much did you spend for the child birth?
DW: Excluding living expenses, we spent $ xxxxx. That includes documentation for the child.(Opened her big folder to bring out budget sheet . zero balance, itemised bills, etc )
VO: No need. (Continues typing)
VO: How long do you intend staying?
DW: Two weeks maximum
VO: Does your husband have a visa?
DW: Yes, he has just been issued a visa few minutes ago as he has a meeting in the states next week.
VO: (Types for a while and later smiled) Oh, I can see that.
VO: Your visa has been approved, this paper explains……
DW: Thank you so much!

It was all the Grace of God especially hearing about the trouble with itemised billing and proving that bills were not transferred to insurance or taxpayers. Neverthelesss, we went very prepared in terms of documentation.

Gentlechuks:

That crook indirectly promoted that scam here and more than 8000 Nigerians were scammed, after that he went and modify the thread forgetting that I quoted the original post.

TWoods:


And why do you expect this? You’ve all made “god” into one big joke.

kobobay:
Yesterday in Abuja, my brother had his F1 student visa interviewed, he was denied but not given any letter to explain why he was denied. When he requested, he was just asked to go, that he was denied.

Please can anyone tell me what is going on?

mitnick:
Pls is it possible to request for interview in my native language for a conference?

TWoods:


Wrong thread.

Ebie001:

I believe himself and his brother are 2 separate people

sugah:


Hi twoods.
I've been itching to find out the truth in the allegations leveled against you/your brother, but so far it's either you missed out on the mentions or you've deliberately made no attempt to refute them. Does silence in this case mean consent?
Or did I miss the reply?

LadyGuinivere:

Yes. Correct. They are separate people. That is sound reasoning ...
However by that same principle, Twoods shouldn't judge other folks without a logical basis and simply on the assumption that all Nigerians are fraudulent. Cos if that's the case, then it's fair game to ask about his family and their immigration Style....
