Bro, let's not mistake his fortune to ice breaking o before everyone else with future interview starts doing it.
My take is, answer all questions as honestly as possible and don't start thinking you can warm your way into the heart of a VO, doesn't always work like that. Just my opinion

yes u right.. but note this.. this was ma first time over there and I kinda went with an open mindset.... I noticed before I was called that Nigerians just weren't acting friendly or people with d right courtesy.. thats why I decided to be a bit polite .. and let d VO see me as different frm the others...

sure might not work for others.. and apart frm being confident.. I was honest on all counts... so I answered all questions with a smile..

lol

Thank you very much. Remember I mentioned this desperation some people display, some pages back; when some dude was denied and he was trying to reapply a week after, all in the name of vacation.

Like zumakhaleesi rightly observed, VOs are trained to spot lies and most desperate applicants usually have somethings to hide.
It's no do or die people, let's just take it one at a time and get it right the first time. A denial also doesn't mean you are a bad person, could be something you missed out. Give it a little time, visit some place else and try again.
@LadyG, @Chloe, @justwise, @100$bill, eku ise o, been a while.

Really.. I troway salute for those V.Os.. there was a particular VO who was extremely friendly and I noticed.. he kept on long playful convos with who ever he interviews... but.. that particular morning... he was the one .. that denied people mostly.. hahahhaaa...
all means he knows what he was doing regardless... lol

u cant be entrusted by the US govt to do a job .. if u aint the best at it

hello Abuja NIV,

Cant thank you enough for all the time you took to spell everything out right.

My Visa was Approved today.

Still basking in a lil euphoria . hahahaa,...

Keep up the Good Works AbujaNIV/ LagosNIV....

#BottomsUp.......

Well.. Sup Guys... I followed this thread a bit and also followed the main V.O is listening thread where i got a lotta tips.

I was Highly favored this morning and ma US Visa got approved for the very first time even as all odds seemed not to be in ma favor.>>
For what its worth... am a single guy... 29yrs.... am an IT dude and i work in a multinational which i believe was ma strongest point to being given the B1/B2 visa today....

I was just asked three questions while i stood and ma heart just kept pounded diff beats ahahahaa... and also note that i dont av a travel history as the only time i disvirgined my visa was on a road trip to Ghana.... so it wasnt even a flight lol...\\

The excerpt is thus.

Me: Hello Good Morning.
VO: Hello
Me (still being in the courtesy mood) : how has the day been, hope not so stressful.
VO: Well, you know.. its been a so-so day.. thanks for asking. how has yours been?
Me: Its been OK.
VO: what are you going to do in USA
Me(being confident & honest): am going to see my Uncle
VO: where does he stay
Me: i told him.......
V.O: what do you do.
Me: am an IT analyst.... bla bla bla

... then the long wait ......... he typed for almst one minute and during that time... ma heart pounded almost out loud ahahahaa....

Vo: well .. ok.. your visa has been approved .... wait three days .. bla bla bla... circled the DHL centre in V.I and that was all....


>>>> i get am kinda a lil favored cos .. it was ma first applicatn n all....

But things i picked before the day and at d venue dis morning befre i was interviewed was :
1. Naija guys n ladies take this visa tin like a life \ death matter.. shouldnt be ... because the desperation shows on ur face n body even if u try to hide it... this VO guys are really highly trained and dnt need to look at ur documents just like mine wasnt looked at.
2. be confident and honest.. confidence is everything.... even if u lying there is a way confidence will drown it all.
3. Be prepared to answer anything and anyquestion with stuttering... i had like a mock interview with ma boss yesterday cos he had been interviewed and granted before .. and he pointed out some words and some punctuations i shouldnt make.
4. Dont beat around the bush.. talk and answer only what is asked of u... the VO's perception is that .. u are trying to con him if u saying something unrelated to what he asked.
5. A dude i overheard was sounding too cocky and making reference to the fact that he didnt know why he was denied the first time and kinda make an unpleasant remark of the last VO that interviewed him.. ERROR.. sure he was given the blue denial paper again.

Last and not least.. frm mistakes i av read people ask alot.. when u are denied .. dont be in a hurry to reapply cos .. the VOs also live in this country one way or the other so they see the time gap between ur last application and the most recent.... if i was to advice anyone.. if u are denied.... please give the embassy at least 8-months before another reapplication..

Yes... 8 is alot yes... but it pays to wait for 8 months to a year and stand a better chance with new proofs of a change in situation than apply in a short 3months or less and face being rejected before saying anything.... Yes its possible to be rejected befre the interview starts... i saw one lady today.... immediately she mentioned the answer to the first question asked .. the VO stopped her and said ... Sorry.... we cannot grant u a visa this time around...

Save your face and ur family's name.... dnt be blacklisted without ur own knowledge ....


........... thanks guys for the time out...


All the best... I wish u all more successes in your diff levels of B1/B2/F1/4/H1 and all others lol....

AmERIcA here we comeeeeeeeeeeeeee
