Good day all,
So I have been following this thread and contributing for a while.
I had my interview earlier today.
My advise to anyone applying for either visiting or student visa is this, be sure of what you are doing and why you are applying. Lack of composure is one thing I noticed that affected alot of people that got denied. I think the denial rate is about 90% for both visiting and student visas.
Elderly people and fairly young people with good travel histories were issued visas. Some elderly people who couldn't present their case very well were also denied.
Bottom line, don't go and gamble with N52,900 except you are just trying to get the experience. Examine yourself through your application form. Put yourself in the shoes of the Consular Officer and judge yourself.
Those guys don't give a damn. To them, they are applying the rule of their country accordingly.

All said and done, visa granted.
I have good travel histories though. Schengen, UK, South Africa. Good job as well.
Have been denied 2 times in the past.
I was asked if Canada or any European countries had refused me visa before? I said yes. Canada. Obviously, he saw it on his system.

Congratulations Please Share your transcript. These days we need to Congratulate anyone who has been approved for a US visa because it’s one of the most difficult interview to take on, you are not guaranteed one even if you are rich, poor, have a good income or job. Looks like better packing and some form of luck.

Everyone refused a visa will now be sending emails for a review until the "blow" this opportunity for other people who actually need a review. smh

And you think everyone who applies for a UK visa looks at nairaland. If they are not satisfied after the review they won’t give you the visa. There are appropriate channels for compliant, in this case you pay £5 if you are not satisfied before a review. It doesn’t affect or changes any thing because you are paying for a review and not free.

Hello house I need your advice!

I been denied US visiting visa twice this year but fortunately for me I will be going to UK next month for my Post graduates. I have always dreamt about US and I would love to visit there. Will it be good if I apply for the visiting visa from Uk or I return to Nigeria to apply when next I wanna go visiting because I intend to visit US solely for tourist purpose next summer!

My brother you have the best chance. 6 to 9months after you start your postgraduate studies, apply for a US visa in the UK, am sure you would be guaranteed US visa. Your study in the UK is your ties, they know you can’t run away and not come back to finish your post graduate studies.

Yes, very very possible.. Nigerian by birth and on a Nigerian passport you will be issued a visa. Within the duration of the postgraduate study, he or she will apply at any of his break season.

Hello House, I need an advice from any guru in the house. I haven’t travelled or applied for a US visa before but I have several visas on my passport for a travel history like 3 UK visas, 2 Schegens (France and Spain) South African visa, Dubai stamps. Am sure I could say that is some travel history, though I know for a fact travel history doesn’t guarantee a US visa. But these travel histories I mention are on one passport and that passport expires March 2020. My question is if I apply for a US visa with a brand new passport, will I be allowed to take in the old passport into the embassy? What if my luck could been that the VO asks me if I have ever been out of the US and I tell him several places, would he ask me to bring in my old passport for him to sight? I would appreciate this answer from anyone so I can apply please help a brother. Thank you
