My interview was sheduled to hold at Lagos State, Nigeria, and I was called in by 10:00am.
This interview wasn't more than 2 minutes and I was honest through out the interview and gave valid information about myself and my purpose of traveling.

The VO didn't even ask all the questions I was expecting and imagined. I really prepared for the interview and went further to seek for more information and advice from experienced individuals for advice and guidance.

I learnt so much and above all, I prayed and believed. Even though I went with my burden of proof, it wasn't checked.
I was just lucky. 
I will try to be detailed, so this can help someone as it helped me.

Me - Good morning

Vo - Good morning, your passport please

Me - I  hurriedly passed it ove to him and he quickly scanned through the pages

Vo - Where are you going to?

Me - Houston Texas

Vo - what for?

Me - To have my baby

He continued typing, without any change in his expression.

VO - Are you in contact with any doctor?

Me - Yes

VO - Do you have any correspondence with the doctor with you?

Me- Yes
 ( I brought out the doctor's correspondence,my email and budget spreadsheet and passed it, I tried removing the spreadsheet, since he didn't ask me for it, but he said I should bring it too)

VO- how do you get to know about the doctor?

Me- A friend he delivered of twins, recommended him and I also went online to check the reviews about him, and I was okay with what I read. 
(He stopped typing and looked straight into my eyes, I looked back into his, didn't know he was that handsome 😀)
He checked d spreadsheet first, and scanned through the doctor's correspondence, re-arrangeded the
document, putting the doctor's correspondence in the fore front and typed again.

VO  - (stopped typing and looked at me) do you have any family in Houston

Me- No, (I maintain the eye contact, shaking my head at the same time)

VO - what do do you?

Me - I'm a lawyer

He started typing again

VO - Are you married?

Me - Yes with kids

VO - Your husband has a valid passport?

Me - Yes

Looked up from the computer finally, and packed doctor's the correspondence together, passing it to me

VO - Keep all this documents, you may need it at the point of entrance ( I started smilling)

VO - Your visa is approved, pick it up on Monday at -----------------

Me - thank you ( thinking how nice and handsome the young man looks).

It really pays to honest and truthful.

QUESTION

I applied for the US visiting visa last year from another country of residence where I'm studying and got rejected because of proof of social
ties.

My question now is she wants to apply
for a visiting visa again this December with
stronger evidence of social ties but also
wants to participate in the US visa lottery
program in October, does this affect her
chances of getting the visa in December?
I think the embassy usually have the results
before they are officially released.If at the
time of her B2 interview ,the embassy
discovers she has been selected for a Dv
visa,they might ask her not to bother about
the B2 visa and wait for the release of the
lottery results .

ANSWER
You were apparently planning to immigrate to the US and the consular wouldn't want to grant a NIV visa to someone who intends to immigrate to the US.

If you were selected in the lottery,there would be no need for a tourist visa again. In fact,one of the criteria for granting Tourist visa is that the applicant has to prove that he/she isn't going there as a permanent resident.

QUESTION
please I need guideline on how to obtain a US
visiting visa. I don't have anyone in the state though. I'm an undergraduate, microbiology 300l, but the major problem i think i will be facing is,the date of birth on my international passport, which is a student age, 1991,

I want to know the list of documents to submit at the embassy,my plan is to live there, work and study.
I need tips on how to get the visa.
Please i need a step by step guide and
genuine procedure for US visit visa application.
Thank God

ANSWER

First,what is the purpose of your trip to the
Us?
Since you do not have an acquintance in
the states,where do you intend to stay on
arrival in the states?
.These are the first questions you youneed to ask yourself and also find answer to.

If you are the sponsor,you will need:
Current proof of income tax payment,
Original bank statements,
Property ownership documents
If you are married,you may take the pictures of
your children along,
Proof that your leave has been approved and an invitation letter.

These documents may help you to prove your
family/economic ties.
Note,the VO may ask to see these documents or not.The VO will base his decision to grant you a visa on the authenticity of your answers.

As a visitor to the USA,you are not allowed to work or study except for some exemptions. To work in the Us,an employer has to petition for an H-1b visa for you.The max period of stay for this is six years. You may also apply for the Dv lottery if you are intent on migratin.
A visitors visa is a non-immigrant visa and strictly remains so.

Am a student in London and i applied for tourist visa to California which i have been refused in 2009, the officer in charge then told me that i am not qualified cause i haven't been in the UK for about 6 months and planning to trave,l that i should wait for a yr or so for me to re-apply 

then i applied 3 months ago and which is like 2 yr's after this time the Chinese American Officer told me that am not qualified, because this is not my country, because I don't have strong ties in UK..

The only ties i have in the UK was my University.

VO - Do you work full time or part time?

ME - My work is a part time job. Because student's are not allowed to work full time,

VO - Are you married?

ME - No

VO -  Do you own a House or Business in UK 

ME -  No, am here to study.

VO - What's your purpose of traveling to the US?

ME -  To Visit my Sister who is a US Citizen, she invited me and will also be paying for all
the expenses, it's also stated in the Letter of invitation she sent to me.

I answered all the questions he threw at me, but he didn't give me the visa. Any Advice on This ?

I am coming To Nigeria soon, for my Interview because i got I got an interview date and hope they wont turn me down, I also need help as well for Nigerian application.
I planned to take the same documents I used in the UK.  

Also include your id card and bank statements showing you can take care of the expenses.

you have been a bit unfortunate sha, because as a student, they are not supposed to reject your application because you can't leave your degree you have paid a lot of money for.

For your trip to Nigeria get a letter from your school to show UK immigration and try not to over stay, don't stay more than 2 weeks.
A friend who recently went to Nigeria was returned from heathrow because he returned after uni started even though it was due to his mum's illness
He was sent back and asked to complete his
dissertation from Lagos.
whatever you do make sure you have that letter from your university stating they are aware of your trip to Nigeria.

QUESTION

I have 2years student visa to US, I entered New York with it for 5 weeks then returned home, because i couldn't pay the school fee, so i defer the admission.
My visa expires April, and i wish to visit US on visiting visa,can i apply now or do I need to wait until the
student visa expires.
Of course i have IV waiting, but i didn't travel.  I decided to wait till the student visa expire.
Thank you

ANSWER
Your case is somehow, first you must have proved @ d embassy that you have enough money for the school before you applied for your student visa.
The best you can do is to use your same student visa to enter USA with your deferred admission letter - this will help show at the POE that you deferred your
admission , you should be ready to state goods reasons why you deferred and nots ay you do not have money for school fee.
If the deferred admission letter does not fall In-line with your proposed date of visit, then you have to wait for the visa to expire before you apply for visit (which will not be
easy for you to get provided you didnt make good
use of the student visa you were give).
Think about the best thing you can do now a nd return to Usa with your student visa, either get your school to send you a letter or , just think about the best means and lemme alsor Ty reason with you too,

I'm not an expert so i only stated what i thinkn and if there is anyone who knows better please do not hesitate to come over.piease do not hesitate

US VISA STORY

I was granted a B1/B2 US visa for ten years last month, with my SA passport & my Husband on his Nigerian passport for 2years.

I f you're intereted in getting the US visit visa, I will advice you to avoid lies and funny tricks as it will get you in trouble or a ban,

lots of first time visitors were granted visas, those who were denied were going for a conference & have been working for a few months or were students attending an expo that did not relate to what they were studying.

Fill in your D160 & submit online then pay fee online with your Visa card or bank deposit with the reference number being your passport number, to schedule for an appointment.

I am aware in Nigeria it can takes as long as 3months but in SA you can even get it the next day. All we took were passports (which had previous visas for uk &
italy).
1 ID photos, 
Bank statements for 3months 
A letter from the work stating i have leave available & that i work the Company.

The interview took about 2-3minutes, everybody in the hall were asked similar questions e.g

Where in the US are you going?
Reason for going?
Do you have property?
How long are you intending to be there?
Do you have kids?

And for those attending conference they were asked to elaborate. after that 2min that feels like forever you hear the magic words " your visa has been granted, It will be delivered in 3 to 5days".

thank you so much for your time.
