Man's awkward US visa interview experience
@MaziGomez_, who had his US visa interview in London, said the female visa officer denied him without asking him any questions or offering an explanation.
He added that she never went through the supporting documents he had brought. He attributed his visa denial to his Nigerian nationality. The man's experience, as shared on X, read:
"Went for US visa interview in London last month. When it got to my turn, the lady said my visa has been denied this time and handed me a rejection letter. No question. No explanation. She didn’t even look at all the supporting documents I went with.
"I knew immediately it was because I’m Nigerian."

Man denied US visa, shares experience
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a man who was denied a US visa had recounted his experience.
In an X post, the applicant, Eddy Young, said his application was swiftly denied even when his documents were not checked.
Eddy said the officer who attended to him asked only one question before proceeding to deny him the US visa. He argued that a percentage of the US visa application fee should be refunded to the applicant in case of a denial.
