Please don't use microfinance bank oo,someone was recently refused and when he got his gcms, reason stated was money not moveable from microfinance banks (cant be use for visa application because the bank is not commercial which is regular bank.

Thank you Josephb.. I really appreciate your time...

josephb:
Hello,

To my own understanding I think he was asking about Microfinance Banks/Microcredit Banks.

If that is the case; some people had used it and got approved whilst others were not.

You can decide to give it a try (A verifiable one) but you can support this with a Commercial Bank Account Statements (Otherwise known as the Regular Banks).

Good-luck.

Regards,

Greetings to All Solomons in the group, males and females. Kudos to you! Pls I want to ask if someone can present Commercial Bank Statement of Account for Visa purposes instead of all these regular bank?

Hello guys, WELLDONE ON THIS PLATFORM. here goes my transcript for my interview on the 25th of April, 2017


VO: Good morning.
Me: Hello Good morning.
VO: Why are you going to New York?
Me: I am going on a vacation, sightseeing and a tour.
VO:What do you do?
Me: I am a lawyer. i work as a legal advisor with the legal department of .....
VO: How long have you worked with this organisation?
Me: 3 years and 8 months.
VO: Do you have a family in Massachusetts? ( I had used my friend's name in Massachusetts as my US point of contact)
Me: No, just a friend.
VO: Have you traveled before?
Me: Yes, Dubai and South Africa.
VO: Can i see your old passports please?
Me: Sure. (Flips through passport)
VO: Unfortunately i cannot grant you a Visa.....bla bla bla

Please guys, what do I do? Should I reapply? That trip is important to me as I planned to have a nice time with my boyfriend who was going to travel to US from the UK. Besides, this is my only chance at a vacation as I will be assisting my sister when she is delivered of a baby in August. The rest of my annual leave would be spent with her in the south south of naija. CHEI!!!
Urgent reply please.

THANK YOU.

I got different opinions, I have read in this very forum when someone is going on vacation in another State in US and has a family in another state and was given visa. I think her approach to the question matter, she should have said, yes I got a friend in Massachusetts but I'm not visiting her this time as I want a time for myself alone. Vo know most Nigerian got family in US.

I am sorry for the repost... At last...I will be getting my renewed passport today and at the same time, i will be heading to the bank to get the visa fee paid and hopefully fill the form over the weekend. Now my concerns is this.. The NIS delayed me in getting my passport renewed and i will be going for a conference on the 10th of May. Just want to know if i can get an appointment date befor the day at the lagos embassy so that my 54k will not go just like that as i dont have no other reason for going to the U.S. Pls anyone who has recently book an appointment with the lagos embassy should pls feed me. Abeg before i enta am...

I will advise you to at least look for another related conference because May 10th is not feasible. Within an hour from now who knows interviews date might be booked up to May 10th.. Just an advise. It's good to always have considerable time between desired programs in US and interview date

Kindly I need your help, I applied last year for visa after I got admission in one of the good schools in France but visa was denied based on fake insurance. The fake insurance was not my fault as I sent a brother to buy it for me since I'm busy at work but he edited for me and spent the money unknown to me, that is what I submitted and I got denied. Pls I got two questions. 1. How do I sort this out from embassy. 2. Will this not affect me in applying for visa in other European countries?

I need someone to please attend to my two questions.. Pls

VO: how long have you worked with the bank
Wife: 3years
VO flips through our passports(in my mind am like she is checking for any issued visa/travel history , we all had virgin passports, then she continues typing)
VO: where are you traveling to in the US
Hubby and I: Massachusetts
VO raised her head looks at us and goes back to typing
VO: what will you be doing there

Wifeinstantly replied) we call her sister here in Nigeria but she's actually my aunty
VO: smiles and says Oh I see

Wife: Mother's younger sister
VO: what does she do in the state
Wife: she's a medical doctor
VO: how long has she been there
Wife: 5years
VO: is she married
Wife: No, but she's getting married soon in about a month time
VO types a bit, brings out rubber band to bind our 3 passport together. I started pinching my husband like yeah we have gotten it but I said calm down what if she wants to tie them together and return to you, the she drops it beside her and hands us a white paper with a huge smile saying you pick up your visa in 3working days and circled the center for us. We were so happy smiled and gallantly strolled out. That was our first time ever applying for a visa and we got it yippe!!!

My parents and grandma's interview they are actually going for my aunty's wedding in June.
VO: why are you going to the US
Dad: to attend a relative's wedding
VO: what's the relationship to each of you
Dad: explains, my wife's younger sister and her (grandma) daughter
VO: where will the wedding be taking place
Dad: New york
VO: but your form says you are going to Massachusetts
Dad: that's where she lives but the wedding is in New York
VO: where will you stay in new York
Dad: reservations have been made to accomodate us at xxxx hotel the same venue for the wedding
VO: have you traveled before
Dad: Yes
VO: where
Dad: Germany(that was like 20 something years ago with the old Nigerian passport, so his passport now was still virgin)
VO keeps on typing and hands him white paper, I forgot to tell my dad that white paper is good news, he said he collected it stared at it for a while and felt like okay no problem we will stay in our house so he said to the VO
Dad: thank you for your time, we appreciate
VO: congratulations your visa has been approved you can pick it up in 3 working days
Dad: smiles ooh! Thank you.

That's how the 6 of us were successful, no document was searched. Thanks to the house I read and read and understood the process I didn't bother printing statement of Account or go with so many unnecessary documents. My mum carried like 50pictures saying she will show them how family history and her sister, I told her wasn't necessary she didn't listen (elderly people things, lol the woman said she didn't want to take chances)

Once again house, thank you!!! For all the useful information shared here.

Congratulations... This is clearly the Lord's doing. I rejoice with you

Greetings in the house. Hail the Gurus. This is my first time I will make comment in this thread as silence reader. Now about the question, it happened to me in the interview last year 2015, I had 3 names on pee and 2 on confirmation. What happened was that the vo just ask me who is Sogo, which is the third name and I said I. And he said Okay. Although I was denied the visa but I don't know why I was denied : it might be other area but might not connected to the name.

wunmi38:

Can someone give clear response to dos question you have three names on pee and two on the interview confirmation information. What is the way forward

Thanks so much for your candid advice. This helps a lot. But one of the travel agent by style told me that you can also get the visa via their insider or by school. All the same. I'm grateful gurus

I was discussing with my friend yesterday about new way to get Georgia e-visa but he was not really ready to tell me now: Guru in the house, can you please share with me new way to get the visa even though Nigeria is currently ban to get e-visa

semac00:
Ok. I did not want to share this but can see you need more info. As I said they have not stoped but introduced some more difficult conditions which are, you must have in your international passport a valid US, UK or Any Shengen Visa and some other countries. can not start naming all here. this has been the practice for turkey also for some time. which is why before we apply for Turkish e visa we first get a Mexican visa. This is what Georgia recently introduced too. secondly Georgian immigration takes police report very serious while lots of guys do not get that before they leave Nigeria. Its all about being current with information before leaving Nigeria

Thanks for your contribution. What if I have kenya visa or dubai visa with me and from any of these countries stated and I apply from any of these countries there. Is there any chance to get the visa

Thanks for your contribution. I just want to be so sure.

Greetings, I WAS IN A PLACE YESTERDAY AND I WAS STILL PLANNING TO VISIT GEORGIA BUT TO MY SHOCK I WAS TOLD THEY HAVE STOP ISSUING VISA. IS IT TRUE? WHAT CAN I DO? PLS ADVICE. I'M IN NIGERIA OYO STATE
