Wait o.
You cannot afford hotel of maybe $100-$150/night, which at exchange rate of circa 350 would be about N367K in total. But you want to blow N500K and above on air ticket to go for a vacation in the US, plus N64K visa fee.
Nnam, you know you can use that money to invest in a small business here rather than going to dash it to airline and hotels?
Unless of course, you have 'other reasons' for wanting the visa

mzjennypher:


Thank you.From the hotels around there the prices are high, is it safe to use a bed and breakfast house?

Weirdly, I've never been to Dubai.

Except one time on transit.

nefertitiram:


There are 173 countries in the world. There's a lot to take in and see and enjoy asides the USA.

Mexico, Barbados, Dubai... Badasss Dubai. I can never get enough of that place.

I'm heading for Jamaica this summer

One week of no work, just sunshine, beaches, cruises

seyewest:

Nef Nef Nef..... You're too much.. Thank you for saying my mind.. I told a friend I wanna visit Kenya and he said shebi you get U.S Visa why bother with these small countries well from my research I know if I visit Kenya I will sure visit Tanzania,uganda and Rwanda that's 4 countries within a week or 2... also anytime I'm gonna visit U.S I will try to get a schgengen visa so I can make a stop over in Milan for a week through Emirates and still fly directly to JFK from Milan through emirates... I'm working on my Japanese visa so I can spend 4 days in Japan although I will fly from New york... and if that does not work I might visit the caribbean directly from U.S maybe fly Qatar to U.S and branch Doha for 2 days on my way back to Lagos.
All I wanna do during my leave is visit new places.. and experience new culture... just to forget about Naija for 2-3 weeks in a year no be sin..and it's not waste of money.

OmoBendel24:


Oga Suxes; you should know better than this na.... IV kwa? Her best option of the three for now as per accommodation is to book an hotel.... Check your sister in law out sha @OP Showerses, I mean how she got in there and became a permanent resident. As for your American client, hope you guys have seen or been seeing face to face, physically? If not, just ignore that move please.... Go reason your other ties, accommodation is only but one of your worries on this route!

This is thoughtful. I agree with this.

Thanks boss

Thank you Suxes for your advice but i think the IV is not needed according to what i have read from this forum

suxes2005:


Well if your American client can send you an IV that will be better IMO.

Your husband's cousin need to tell you how she entered US and what she does currently as the VO might ask.

But since you preferred her side other than your client's own then ask her for details.

Just make sure you don't represent a lie on your form.

Thank you Oga mi

seyewest:

You better go the hotel way.

Thank you Omobendel24

As far as I'm concerned it's seems you don't know a lot about what your firm is about.. You should understand that the V.O are under intense pressure to interview as many as 70 people a day before 1pm and you have less than 2mins to convince them. A lot people with solid ties do not explain and convene the questions asked by the V.O reason for a lot of rejection. Answering of question properly is very important e.g ''where is different from why''.
Try again next time.

@kokoboy you lost me at Yoruba cultural summit.
Are you serz now? Not Ile Ife, not isale Eko, not Osun or Ibadan. You are going to the US for a Yoruba culture Summit!!!
Maybe a Ghanaian or Australian can get off with such a reason and he'll be called quirky or cultural. You on the other hand. With zero travel history going to listen to others talk about your culture....
Think about it....
Sorry eh

LadyG is very right... if he was part of the organizer maybe that's understandable.
