Hello everyone, I have been a silent reader of nairaland for about a month and some weeks now,but unfortunately i came across the website few days after i had filled and submitted mine and my wife's DS-160.I scheduled our appointment interview for the 17th of November 2016,but i made sure i read almost all the transcripts here that involved the B1/B2 visa interviews,i read it all over and over again for more than a month,and asked myself and my wife a lot of likely questions and i must say i really learnt a lot,and that gave me a bit of a confidence and since this has helped me,i decided also to write out our transcripts and experience,even though it did not last for more than 1 min,and hopefully i hope it helps a lot of people preparing for their interviews also,it was a 7am appointment here at lagos Embassy,we also did not bother to listen to the touts talking us into making copies of our international passports,which is totally irrelevant,we finally got into the hall and got our biometrics done and queued up,the hall was a bit noisy as well,but myself and my wife kept calm and just wanted to have our interview and get done with it.I remember i told my wife not to bother herself listening to anyone's interview,i read severally on this thread about people avoiding to go to a particular cubicle,but i did not really care about that,we were ready to go to whichever cubicle,finally we got called and it was a lady that interviewed us and it goes as follows.. VO-Good morning Me-Hello,Good morning Wifey-Good morning. VO-Says Good morning to my wife again. VO-Your passports please(I handed her our Passports including my old Passport) VO-Are you two Married Me-Yes,we are married(My wife's Passport still has her maiden name) VO-Why are you going to the United States. Me-Myself and my Wife,are going for our annual Vacation. VO-Okay,and she was typing and looking at her Screen. VO-Where in the United states are you going to? Me-New Jersey,Carteret Precisely VO-Okay,do you know anyone there? Me-No we do not,we have our accommodation booked,and i mentioned the name of the hotel in New Jersey. VO-Okay VO-What do you do? Me-I am an Engineer,a mechanical Engineer and i work with so and so company,but i also happen to be one of the directors of the company. VO-What kind of Company is it Me-It's an Engineering company and i mentioned the name of the company again... VO-What are your duties there? Me-Well like i said earlier,i am a mechanical Engineer and one of the directors of the company,but i also work majorly supervising every mechanical works on our some of our construction sites,basically plumbing,installations of pipes and all and the VO cuts in VO-Turns to my wife,What do you do? Wifey-I am a banker and i work in so and so bank and she also stated her position at work VO-What are your duties Wifey-I support technical blah blah for my banks e channels blah blah VO-Have you travelled out of the country and where? Wifey-Yes,to United Arab Emirates,Kenya and VO cuts in.. VO-Have you travelled before and where? Me-Yes i have,and i mentioned Kenya,United Arab Emirates,South Africa and some of those countries more than once. VO-Okay,do you have children Me-Not yet VO-How long do you plan to stay? Me-21nights(which is what i booked for our hotel) VO-Okay,are you going to be seeking a medical care in the United states. Me-Not at all VO-Okay,and she keeps typing and looking at her screen,and i saw her take our passports off the table and hands us a white paper to come for our Visas after 3 working days. Me and wifey-Thank you. Note:This long transcripts only lasted for about a minute or less,i was confident and answered all of the questions asked honestly and confidently and so did my wife.I did not over dress,just a white shirt on a jean and i rolled up my sleeve,wifey was also on work cloth,no salary asked,even though i did not input my salary or wifeys salary on the form.It was just so short and i want to say thank you to everyone that has shared their transcripts one way or the other and everyone that has worked so hard to put this forum together,you will never know how much this has helped us.The only thing i can say is this was God's favor,that is all i can say,i prepared and over prepared for questions that i might be asked,but God surprised us.God bless everyone and good luck to everyone in their respective interviews,just go for your interviews knowing God's favor is upon your life and also go prepared and lastly, carefully fill out your DS 160 form,i think it counts a lot. 36 Likes |
