Greetings to you all. I work with a reputable insurance company and I am married with two kids ( ages 3 and 10mths) .in preparation for my interview, I surfed the Internet like no other every blessed day for information because information they say leads to transformation.i checked nairaland,immi and visajourney.

On this said date,my interview was scheduled for 9:30am and we got their 7:30am. We started the verification on the queue till we got to the interview hall. Immediately I entered the hall I sighted the security camera and I started playing with my first daughter while on the queue and this attracted a whole lot of people seeing the bond between my daughter,family and I. After the scanning and verification we were directed to no 3 a female and my interview went thus:

Myself: Good morning

Vo: no response

Vo: can I have your docs

Myself: yes please,( I gave her the four passport)

Vo: where are you travelling to?

Myself: I am travelling to the United state of America, florida to be precise and I am going to visit x and X places:

Vo :ok...tell me about where you work?

Myself: I work with X company as a sales executive, head of this and that

Vo: have you travelled outside nigeria?

Myself: NO

Vo: "turns to my wife"..Madam what do you do?

My wife: I am a trader and I supply x and x to retailers and consumers

Vo: do you have anybody in the USA

Myself: NO

Vo:has anyone travel between yourself and your wife?

Myself: Yes,my wife, she travelled ten years ago to the UK ( although she was a minor when she travelled with her mother to UK and she is not a citizen)

Vo: your visa has been approved!

Myself: thank you!!

She gave me a paper indicating where to pick my visa and she held on to our passports.

Points to Note:

(1) I carried my first daughter in my arms all through the interview. I never allowed her to stand on her feet cos this shows you love your family and my wife also carried the second one in her arms.

(2) no documents was requested cos they have limited time

(3) they did not request for my wife's old passport she used in travelling to UK When she was a minor

(4) during the questioning my daughter was distracting me calling me "daddy daddy" and she was also reading her one, two, three numerals and this was an indication that she is my daughter and she goes to school cos she was on her school uniform

(5) above all, NA God's favour o

I think it was the daughters school uniform as that showed she goes to school that got the visa approved.

Yep.. likely added some credibility.
