Not at all bros. Unfortunately, if you ask 10 people their choice too , eight of them will say America is their choice. Since they can't accommodate everyone and since on a chance of probability, almost 30 percent of people on tourist visa will try to game the system and not return, they have no choice than to allow people with reasonable chance of returning. Between you and I, you know deep down that the only reason your mum is sending you on vacation to America is not just for fun...it is to prepare ground for your eventual immigration. But imagine if you are earning say 500k in Nigeria. It is not much but unless you get a good offer in America you won't just run away like that without thinking twice. Also, imagine if you have travelled to UK you didn't run away. You went to Germany you didn't run away...while it is not foolproof, at least you are not absolutely desperate else you would have abused the visa. So it is not fair that the VO will say why America first. But in your case... it is a very relevant question. Your mum may not want to waste money to send you to Mauritius cos you know it is a dead end but if you go....it means you really want to vacate and not to run away. That is the way it works. If you really want to go on vacation and the money is available truly for fun, if they deny you American visa, you go to Seychelles island. Going back to reapply immediately especially when you know nobody in America shows the intention is not vacation. So take the advice and go elsewhere first.

Well said buddy, Na jappa things, it is written all over the post of the person you are advising, the VO's are smart enough to see and smell jappa candidates, obtaining the US visa 3 or 4 years ago as a Nigerian from Nigeria was much easier compared to now, without good income, solid travel history, assets, investment, married with kids etc it is a colossal waste of money to apply for the US visa and coupled with the recent FBI raid on some Nigerians engaged in fraud which puts the country on a negative radar, if you don't have serious reasons with all l mentioned above, avoid the US EMBASSY or else, dem go continue to use your visa fees to drink hot coffee, bacon and bagel

Mod "justwise",
thank you for deleting those randy posts. I apologise.
..

..
And not all Nigerians want to visit "Their" USA. Mtcheww!
..
Australia, singapore, new zealand, japan, even NAMIBIA have better holiday resorts than them.

United States of Aba!

I'm working with a couple applying for tourist visa. They both have an appointment already. However, after reviewing their documents, I noticed that the primary applicant has Abuja as the designated post on the DS160 form while the other is designated in Lagos. Both of them are interviewing together in Lagos. This might be a problem. Has anyone successfully been able to get the consulate to change their DS160 post prior to interview date? Of course the reason I ask is to avoid having the applicant fill a new DS160, update it on the appointment system and reschedule considering the difficulty in securing dates right now. I simply want to hear from those who might have succeeded in having NIV make appropriate changes to the designated post on the form DS160. Back in the day, I know you could call Consular services to make these sort of changes; not sure if this is still the case.

Please Gurus in the house! My good friend need your advice. She is planning to attend a workshop in October but after paying for B1 Visa fee, she realised that the first available appointment date is in December.
If she choose December, the workshop would have ended and there will be no need for it. Also her invitation says the workshop will hold between October 30 to November

She should seek for an emergency appointment date

Please is there a way around this, kindly advice. Thank you very much for your input and advice

wuki:


Yes - that’s what I'm saying.

MamaTuoyo:


If you dont have a strong reason for going to USA, you can visit other countries for holiday.

seyewest:

AFAIK, this has been going on since the Obama era - this isn't new. A client of mine tried to be cleaver by half back in 2015: just before flying, he backed up his phone and wiped the whole thing (only leaving his contacts and some basic info/apps.) Problem is: he wasn't so fortunate at the port of entry and was asked to login to his Facebook/social media accounts. So yeah, it's advised to exercise caution with your digital footprint when traveling overseas. Having a visa is no guarantee for admissability.

skdfu747:
Caution about what?
If your hands are clean and your intentions are good there will be no need to go through the stress of wiping out all information from your phone.
People that fall into this trap are usually unnecessarily nervous at the port of entry then they end up in CBP secondary questioning.

abeniagbon:


this man self, create a new ds 160 for your mum with her email address, then use your dad appointment information on appointment site to slot her own with her payment number or better still create a new appointment for her, she will b ask our her husband when she is doing her interview make sure all her husband name and information are well listed in her ds 160 and she should state she is not going alone

corrall:

Good day house.

Wilsub:

You are to go with it, #40,700, once you are approved, you will have to pay the money immediately at the embassy.

OmoBendel24:


Ugh ! How's @the bolded to work please? I actually can't see it. It's only the CGI crew that can solve this to the best of my understanding. This is the reason I always say a profile should be created for each applicant irrespective of age. If she had her profile, it would have just been a walkover correcting this issue with making calls or sending mails....

ApcSucks:


Has anyone booked flight using cheap flights.co.uk before? And is it reliable Their fares is cheaper than our Nigerian agencies..... I need advice before using them...

Customer care is zero and they may reject your card, compare the price with the airline and go through the T&C before doing transaction oooo.
