A recent incident involving a Nigerian woman who was reportedly denied a U.S. visa despite investing millions in application and processing fees has sparked a social media uproar.
Many Nigerians are now calling for a refund policy for unsuccessful visa applicants, highlighting the significant amounts spent only for their applications to be rejected.
The lady, who had invested both substantial financial resources and time in preparing for her visa interview, expressed her deep disappointment in a series of statements after her application was denied.
“I feel sad. I could have used my money to buy a car. I’m depressed,” she shared, while noting her determination to try again: “I’ll go to that Yankee.”
Recounting her experience, she shared that over 80 other applicants were denied their visas while she was there. Out of the approximately 300 people at the interview session, she estimated that only about five would likely receive approval.

generalashley27: Those werey denied me 7 times . Then I applied for a Canadian visa, and I got it. 5 years later, I became a Canadian citizen, and I traveled to the US without a visa if you see the way the immigration was looking at me ,he was like you’ve been denied 7 times before so how long do you intend to stay in the US, I said 2 days. He was like , just 2 days, I said yes…. I’m just here for a party .
@81_flacos: Even if they won’t refund, at least a compensation of any kind would go a long way. Cos you know how much you’ll spend? At the end, you get denied, and then it feels like a wasted investment.
sweetness_of_affluence: Nigerians, let’s sign a petition Once a visa is denied, refund should be made!
ifyfajem: Don’t be discouraged dearie, they denied my son student visa. Despite having a valid visiting visa and we just got back from the Uni in Texas then. To God be the glory, he finally got APPROVED after the 4th attempts in a roll . Don’t give up, keep trying though it involves lots of money . So shall you testify too .
thywill_brown_md: I got my US and CANADIAN VISA approved in a week. # Now let me be very honest with y’all who are writing things here without knowing. The USA consular isn’t bothered about your wealth or your money. The only reason you’d be granted a visa is if you have something substantial to go and do in the US and it’s valid- Now Just prove it that it’s what you are going to do. The officer will look at your employment history, your salary and will make some calculations. Some will lie about their source of income and think they won’t know. These guys are super intelligent and are smart. Secondly if you can’t prove that you’d gonna come back home. Then no way. Meanwhile, someone will say it’s coz I’m a doctor that’s why I got. They denied my colleague a week before I went for my interview. So it’s not by profession. It’s by your ability to proof that all your filled on your form is true. I travelled to the state and left coz I didn’t have any other motives or reasons to stay there after travelling to do what I told the visa officer I was travelling for. They have all those records incase I re apply for renewal. I’m sure I will be granted.
saydtruthbaba: I like her vibe sha. She took the denial with smile. Try reapply after 6 months and comport yourself well. The interview is all about your body language,you already put in your info. Wan kan fe confirm Boya body language e align pelu info e. Calm down ko fi ifokanbale soro bi olowo ni interview. Any sign of duress,nervousness or persistent stuttering na denial straight . Best of luck next time maidia.

immabillion: That’s how my Canada japa plans disorganized my life this year. My rent expired march this year and I went for my visa interview February. Usually Canada visa takes about 6months or more to come out. I was also given quick notice to move out and i couldn’t afford to start spending huge sums of money for a new apartment so i pleaded with my landlord if i can pay for six months and even told him about my japa plans. He accepted and i paid for six months hoping my visa will be out. Omo ehhn it rained heavily in June and my house was badly affected by flood all the household items me and my sis was planning to sell was destroyed We could only leave with our bags and became homeless. After six months visa we never still see wasted our money and paid for six months which we could have used to get a new house. All our furniture got spoilt and we came down to square one and started house hunting it was just last month they sent us refusal mail .
