A Nigerian guy has gone viral on social media after posting his amazing experience obtaining a US visa, explaining the suspense, dread, and eventual triumph.
The anecdote, published in a video on X by @broccoliboygreg, depicts the emotional rollercoaster that many Nigerians undergo when seeking for a visa to the United States.
Arrive at the Embassy.
The young man explained the regimented environment at the Lagos consulate, including how applicants are categorised based on visa type.
“Guy, nah here my congratulations starts, bro. They tell you, you see, eh? I go Lagos embassy, everybody we dey there, they chop, no, no, no. That Lagos embassy, the left side is for non-immigrant visa people, then the right side is for immigrant visa people, then chair dey for middle, chair dey this side, chair dey that side. You go sit down depending on your case, you understand? And then you get a number.”
Fear of denial.
According to him, the prospect of being denied weighed heavily on him, especially since he had seen many individuals denied right in front of him.
“If they deny your visa, everybody knows, bro. Like everybody know that, okay, chai, this guy don chop deny, bro. They can either send your case to Administrative processing or tell you to submit additional documents and from there they’ll deny you guy. So, I just dey mehn. I say God, I beg.”
He further stated that the prevalent idea that immigration visas are virtually always approved is incorrect.
Interview Experience
When his turn came, tensions reportedly rose when he encountered the tough US consular officer.
“Finally, kor reach my turn. I say, bro, as I sit down, 15 people went before me. They not give anybody. Come reach my turn… This man come tell me say I should go and sit down. I’ll call you back in about five minutes.”
Visa Approval
After all the tension, waiting, and anxiety, the moment finally came.
“Chai, bro, see na there my congratulations starts. Everybody there will hear it, that your visa has been approved. Even security officials, they tell me congrats, bro. That excitement, bro, they kor give me white paper. Everybody kor say see, I tap from your grace.”
Reflection
He reflected on the emotional journey, encouraging others going through the U.S. visa process to remain hopeful.
“My life got better. Anybody wey dey see you with that paper, bro, they’re already telling you congratulations. They go wan touch you, bro, because it’s real. It’s not easy, guy. Anybody wey dey file for a USA visa, bro, you know how it is. US strict ooo, guy. It might take a little bit of time. But your visa will get approved non-negotiable.”
