1. It is advisable to present virgin passport than given it to someone to stamp for you in Benin ��, Togo �� or Ghana. Once they sight these stamps, wàhálà don start]

There are so many things we need to STOP DOING as a nation.
I applied with a fresh passport and got a visa. This is not a direct salvo at you, but the people everywhere that advises people how to be smart and cheat a system.

Now NIS, US and Canada are on your matter.

Wait! What!! Are you not the same person that asked about sleeping at the embassy cos you don't stay in Lagos? I'm sorry if I'm wrong but I'm asking in love.

Sad!

@samobaba4u

There is no start afresh and forget the passport
He is going to use that passport and the details at NIS for the rest of his life.
Fingerprint and all.
The US also took his fingerprints.
An Asian lady once got deported for drug-related issues. She got married and reapplied with hubby's name, leaving all her maiden name out of forms.
At PoE, her fingerprints brought out her previous history.

You earn 250k and 320k? Don't make this error with a VO. Your wife earns Y. You earn X.
Find out vacation places in Virginia to visit with your family. You'd be asked.
Do you have someone in US can't be a No. Mention it even if it's another State.

OP has said he doesn't know anyone in the States. Yes - answer can be "no"

You couldn't have said this any better. We are always looking for a way to game the system; while making it much harder for other genuine applicants.

2. I saw about two fresh applicants with virgin passport who were given visas
3. Ghana stamp is a red flag. All of us that our passport were stamped in Ghana were packed aside without any interviews. Only two applicants that genuinely traveled to Ghana by air were given back their passport without visa.
The rest of us were instructed to contact NIS HQ for our passport.
4. An elderly woman who can not speak any language than her local language (Igbo) was given visa despite no travel experience with virgin passport.
5. We were all interviewed separately by FBI official to authenticate our travel to Ghana as we claimed.
6. My boss and his wife were issued visa and I was not even given any chance of interview. My boss seriously regretted his action of sending my passport to Ghana for stamping cos I warned him to let me present it virgin to try my luck.
7. They need sincerity and if you are going to lie, perfect it well cos they always have their way of finding out. Good luck.

Has anyone experienced refusal and holding on your passport before?
Please, how did you get it back? I've been in NIS HQ Abuja and they said they've not received such.

Just go to Immigration tell them your experience at the US , they will advice you on the next steps to follow.
but in my own opinion try to reapply once another passport is issued, because that passport has been cancelled and sent NIS Abuja.

I'm telling you. And I warned him but he claimed to know better than myself and the person we are visiting in US cos that one also told him he should not have done that but he kept the info away from me to prove that he's wiser than me. It was when I informed the woman that she told me she warned my boss against it

Start afresh ké? I must get to the root of the matter whatever it's going to take so others can learn from it. They keep records you know.

I've been there with twice but they said they've not seen anything like that. Will try and go again this week

Thank you so much for this feedback. It's rather unfortunate your boss decided to act in this manner. I hope everything will eventually work out for you in the future as regards US travels.

10yrs or more ban await him, no more US trip for now.

Reapply ke? he has been banned for 10yrs you think they take things like these lightly?

You're correct. It's more than likely the applicant's profile has been flagged for submitting a fake document - in fact, it is considered a crime. That said, they'll 100% be on a lookout for applicant's next consulate visit. It's not too much a price to pay for dishonesty IMHO. The U.S Mission is clearly aware of these schemes (go figure); OP got outsmarted. Hopefully this serves as a deterrent to would-be gamers.

you should be glad you weren't arrested actually. You have been banned due to Fake travel history I guess. What was the VO's last response on your case? Most actually are been told immediately that a ban has been placed pending a waiver is approved.

You are paying so much for flight tickets and others just for a 6days vacation to the US Hei!

Good evening my fellow nairalanders, pls who knows if there are now appointment date for Lagos u.s embassy

You may be wrong unless you have experience such. I was given the pink paper and was told I can reapply. But I'm not ready to be wasting my hard earned money for now.

Don't be too sure since you never have such experience before.

Why would they arrest me? They are not like us now. They even gave me a letter to help them fight visa racketeering apart from the pink one and I may decide to honor it by exposing some ppl right from here but that's not my business. I just want ppl to learn from my experience. I like that your guessing clause unlike those that categorically said I've been banned for 10yrs

I noticed something when I was at the embassy on Thursday some people are given pink paper and some blue. Does anyone know what that two colors indicate I was given the blue anyway the blue is much given than the pink.

Pls drop ur no let's have a conversation.

Who are you directing this to

Good evening House.

Please I need an urgent help and advice as regards a visa application for my parents to come over to the USA. I filled the DS-160 Dad and included Mum as a travel companion. Dads DS-160 confirmation code was used to book an appointment for last week Tuesday....just a few days to the interview I learnt that Mum also needs to fill a seperate DS-160 form which I did but it had a different confirmation code with that used to book the interview appointment.

Dad went in for the interview was given a visa and lodged a complain to the VO who acknowledged the application but asked Dad to fill a seperate DS-160 form while Mum comes in at a later date for her interview.

The challenge now is how do I reschedule a date for Mum using the earlier appointment details which was in Dads name to book an appointment for Mum?

Attached is the paper that was given to DAD.

Please I need urgent help and advice.

God Bless

Not sure you can actually reschedule - technically speaking, the interview date is already past. The document you posted assumes a single applicant; except in this case, there are two applicants and the primary applicant has already interviewed. You might need to speak to someone at the embassy explaining the situation and provide them with all documentation. This one is tricky because the appointment system is outsourced. Otherwise, create a separate appointment account for your mum, and try scheduling another appointment using the same receipt. Please report back. Thanks
